In the wake of Guillermo del Toro’s two Hellboy movies and the 2019 reboot directed by Neil Marshall, it looks like Hellboy may be returning with a fourth live action movie sometime soon. Discussing Film exclusively reports this week that Millennium Media is “actively developing a new live-action Hellboy film, which has already been written with a director attached.” According to the site’s sources, Brian Taylor (Crank, Gamer, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Mom and Dad) has been chosen to direct the upcoming movie for Millennium. Discussing Film also reports...

Aptly named for the acidic smell of deteriorating film, Vinegar Syndrome made an auspicious debut in 2013 with its inaugural release, The Lost Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis. In the decade since, they have unearthed, restored, and distributed hundreds of cult, exploitation, horror, action, and adult films. Popping in a new Vinegar Syndrome disc is a bit like cinematic Russian roulette. It’s always interesting, but you never know if you’re going to get an obscure masterpiece, a campy B-movie, a so-bad-it’s-good slice of fun, or a dud. The unknown is...

I never understood why Jurassic Park was the only dinosaur-related franchise to outlive the dino hysteria of the 90s. Don’t get me wrong, Spielberg’s classic is clearly the best movie to come out of that trend, but that doesn’t change the fact that dinosaurs as a concept are in the public domain and should have been featured in countless other films. Fortunately for fans of all things prehistoric, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’s upcoming 65 (March 10th) promises a return to the Jurassic-Park-less thrills of completely original dinosaur movies. And...

Have you ever experienced a melting pot of design choices so unique that you can’t help but love the final result despite some glaring flaws? That’s how I felt while playing Wanted: Dead. The new game from development studio Soleil Ltd. is being described as a “love letter to the sixth generation of consoles” and has a dev team made up of former developers of Ninja Gaiden and Dead Alive. In a current gaming landscape consisting of battle passes, always online connections, and microtransactions, Wanted: Dead has the potential to...

No film of the Hays Code era revels in its own perversity quite like Mad Love (1935). Mad science, body horror, insanity, obsession, executions, gaslighting, sadomasochism—it’s all here and presented with unparalleled excellence of craft. Though it may seem tame compared to pre-Code fare like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), Freaks, and Island of Lost Souls (both 1932), it manages to just barely sneak its lurid subject matter by the censors under a layer of dark humor, exceptional cinematography, and a masterful performance by Peter Lorre in his first...

Developer Round8 Studio has released a brand new gameplay trailer for their upcoming soulslike Lies of P, courtesy of IGN. While it’s not another half hour as with last year’s Gamescom videos, and much of the footage seems to have been taken from previously-released videos, there’s still plenty of new content here in this darkly gothic take on Pinocchio. The gameplay trailer definitely gives off that epic feel for Lies of P, with Pinocchio meeting up with Geppetto interspersed with shots of the Belle Époque world the game inhabits. There...

Cinedigm, Bloody Disgusting, and SCREAMBOX’s found footage nightmare The Outwaters opened in theaters this past weekend and one thing is for certain… it’s divisive. Robbie Banfitch‘s film follows a foursome who set out to make a music video in the middle of the desert, and while their trip starts out uneventful, their peace is eventually disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior. What happens next is a mind-bending trip through terror that is nothing short of disorienting and absolutely frightening. Critics have been raving (it’s “Certified Fresh” on...

Andy Muschietti (Mama, IT, IT: Chapter Two) directed The Flash for DC, and the film will notably bring Michael Keaton‘s Batman/Bruce Wayne back to the screen. Fresh out of the Super Bowl tonight, a brand new trailer has arrived, and it’s LOADED with new footage. Ezra Miller is once again playing the title character in the upcoming WB/DC movie, which will see The Flash travel back in time and “inadvertently create another universe.” The film will explore the idea of a “multiverse” existing with the DC Cinematic Universe, allowing for Michael Keaton’s...

Vin Diesel has been hungry to bring back the Riddick franchise for several years, frequently taking to Instagram to provide updates on the next project.

Diesel will star and produce under his One Race Films banner alongside Samantha Vincent, who will also produce.
