Add Asobo’s A Plague Tale: Innocence to the list of upcoming video game-to-TV series adaptations. According to French publication Allocine, the adaptation of A Plague Tale will have French director Mathieu Turi (who directed 2017’s Hostile and 2020’s Meander) directing the series, while Merlin Productions and the game’s publisher, Focus Entertainment, will be in charge of producing. The series will be filmed in France, which makes sense, given that Innocence takes place in 14th Century France. “It is fundamental for me that our productions reflect French talents and know-how,” says...

Okay, we’re all still waiting on Bloodlines 2. But there are other Vampire: The Masquerade titles in development that are very much on their way, such as Big Bad Wolf Studio’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, which has just had a new gameplay trailer released. The gameplay trailer gives a brief overview of the abilities and playstyles of the three protagonists you can choose play as in Swansong. On top of that, you’ll also be able to customize your specific character’s stats to further suit your game. You can be an...

This installment of Phantom Limbs finds us cutting into the intended third and fourth seasons MTV’s Scream: The TV Series. While the first two seasons of the film series-inspired television slasher followed one particular group of characters whose stories were left unresolved when MTV rebooted the series with the unrelated Scream: Resurrection, the initial plan was for the original cast to continue on through at least two more seasons, culminating in a surprising revelation that out-metas anything seen before in the entire franchise. Joining us for this talk are Michael...

Celebrating her 40th anniversary this year, Elvira has announced a brand new upcoming comic book as part of her partnership with Dynamite Comics, titled The Death of Elvira! Chatting with Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast this week, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson teased the upcoming comic, which should be a must-read for all Elvira fans. “I’ve got an awesome one coming up soon,” Peterson tells the Boo Crew. “I hope they don’t kill me for talking about it, but it’s actually The Death of Elvira.” She adds, “That is coming up very...

23 years ago, Kevin Williamson wrote and directed Teaching Mrs. Tingle, a film that saw a good student (Katie Holmes) hold a vindictive teacher (Helen Mirren) hostage in her own home after she is caught cheating. It was a dark comedy, but due to its proximity to the Columbine High School massacre it was a watered-down version of what could have been a wickedly fun time. Because of this, the film was a critical and commercial failure. History may be doomed to repeat itself as Maureen Bharoocha‘s The Prank, a film...

I’ve spent the best part of three weeks playing Elden Ring. I’d put off this review another few weeks if I could, not because I’m unsure about my feelings on the game, but because I don’t want to put any kind of finality on one of the best game experiences I’ve had for a long time. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice did a lot to revitalize my enjoyment of the From formula, but Elden Ring takes the good work in that game and grafts it onto the magnificent monster that this...

Last month, it was revealed that Supermassive Games, aka the folks behind The Dark Pictures Anthology, had trademarked a new title by the name of The Quarry. There wasn’t much more info about the project at the time, but that all changes tomorrow. Supermassive Games took to Twitter to announce that they’ll be revealing The Quarry tomorrow, an “all-new horror experience“, tomorrow at 9am PT/12pm ET. The game will be published by 2K Games, and is coming this Summer. As for what The Quarry is about, that’s where the speculation...

January is so often seen as a dumping ground for films that studios have little faith in, either for any awards consideration or box office success. If a film isn’t Oscar bait or likely to be a summer blockbuster, January is where they’re dropped. To be fair, there is at least some truth in this. It tends to be a season of “low brow” comedies, middling dramas, and tepid romances. That said, it can also be fertile ground for niche science fiction and horror films that are willing to take...

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Shane Black’s underappreciated 2018 sequel/reboot, The Predator. The Predator franchise has always walked the line between action and horror, with most of the films being structured like sci-fi slashers where the victims are just badass enough to have a fighting chance. This is obviously a delicate balance, and I don’t think any of the sequels have quite managed to replicate the legendary thrills of John McTiernan’s 1987 original. That being said, some entries have come close, and I’d go so...

AMC’s spinoff “Fear the Walking Dead” is coming back this spring with Season 7 Part 2, and we’ve learned today that the brand new episodes will premiere on April 17, 2022. The first two episodes will be available to stream that same night only on AMC+ with subsequent episodes streaming one week early beginning Sunday, April 24. Watch the “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 7 Part 2 trailer below! In the second half of Season 7, months have passed after the nuclear blast and the only one thriving is Victor...

Games will be played at the ongoing SXSW Film Festival and this time, Jigsaw won’t be behind them. Bill Posley sets up the board games with Bitch Ass, a brand new slasher being introduced to audiences at tonight’s World Premiere. Bitch Ass takes place in the late 90s where the title character, played by Tunde Laleye, gets revenge on those who bullied him when he was a child. “It all kind of started with the question: who’s the Black Jason? The Black Michael Myers? The Black Freddy Krueger?” recalls co-writer...
