While the back half of “Original Sin” improves upon some of its preceding episodes’ shortcomings (most notably, giving Zaria, Malia Plyles...

This week’s streaming picks center around horror movies that feature or are set at the cinema. For the characters in these six titles, their haven becomes anything but...

One Day at Horrorland was originally published in February 1994 (Spine #16). The series adaptation aired on Saturday October 25 & Saturday November 1, 1997 (runtime: 22 minutes). My eyes glossed over as they watched the trees thin through the car window and give way to seemingly endless stretches of farmland. We had only been driving for a few hours but already I was drifting into the boorish mindlessness that only seemed to settle in on the longest, most meandering family road trips. Still, there was hope on the horizon, the...

Bloody Disgusting’s Beast review is spoiler-free. Much like 1977’s Orca, Beast begins with a cruel inciting event that births an unrelenting force of revenge that unleashes its wrath upon all those who cross its path.

The Orca-like setup instantly sways allegiances in the lion’s favor and follows a straightforward formula, but the care put into its characters and propulsive thrills keep you engaged. Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba) brings his two daughters, Mere (Iyana Halley) and Norah (Leah...
