In what could easily be the biggest news bomb of the year, Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez will both write and direct a brand new Alien movie for Ridley Scott and 20th Century Studios, reports THR. The project is described as “an original standalone feature”, which is a breath of fresh air after several big swings by Scott himself.

The figure is expected...

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be discussing Mick Garris’ lesser-known Stephen King adaptation, Riding the Bullet. As of 2022, I think it’s safe to say that Stephen King is still the undisputed monarch of horror adaptations.
