HBO‘s “The Last of Us” television series is currently filming, with Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) starring in the series as Joel and Bella Ramsey (“Game of Thrones”) as Ellie. Additionally, Deadline reports this afternoon that Storm Reid (Euphoria, A Wrinkle in Time) has been cast in the role of Riley, a character fans of the game should be familiar with. Deadline explains, “Reid will guest star as Riley Abel. She is an orphaned girl growing up in post-apocalyptic Boston. In The Last of Us: Left Behind, a DLC to the original video game, Riley (originally voiced by...

The release of the new Scream movie has me in the mood to play games where you’re trying to evade a slasher/serial killer. My personal favorites when it comes to this type of mayhem are that of Puppet Combo’s games; in gems like Babysitter Bloodbath and Murder House, you must run for your life as a mad killer tries to hunt you and butcher you. It’s very much in-tune with a slasher gem such as Scream. But though such games give me a rush, there is something more I long for from titles involving serial killers.  For a...

Remember the “Dark Universe“? It was only a handful of years back that Universal had decided to reboot their iconic monster properties with big budgets and big name actors including Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and Javier Bardem, but those plans of course came crashing down with the box office underperformance of the new universe’s starter film, The Mummy. While Universal’s current plans for the Universal Monsters are a whole lot stronger, it’s interesting to wonder what could’ve been had the “Dark Universe” continued on as planned… For starters, Javier Bardem...

Although R. L. Stine is best known for scaring younger audiences, namely with series like Fear Street and Goosebumps, the prolific children’s author has dabbled in adult stories from time to time. Sprinkled throughout his extensive oeuvre are the occasional grown-up tales of terror; four to be exact. In Stine’s third novel aimed at older readers, Eye Candy shadows a woman looking for love in all the wrong places. Specifically a website that caters to lonely hearts. Unfortunately, putting herself out there also paints a target on her forehead. From...

Directed by Patricia Harris Seeley, written by Cameron Larson (story) and Jose Prendes (screenplay), The Legend of La Llorona follows a family vacationing to Mexico in an effort to escape the grief that has fallen over them.

Present alongside them throughout the story are two prominent side characters – Veronica (Angélica Lara), their housekeeper, and Jorge (Danny Trejo), a friendly taxi...

History tends to repeat itself. We’re meant to look to the past and learn from its mistakes. That holds true in life and in horror. Wes Craven‘s seminal 1996 slasher dissected the patterns of the genre with a self-referential wink while going for the jugular, but horror has evolved tremendously since. Some rules hold firm, and some no longer apply. Discerning which is which isn’t as obvious or straightforward. The new Scream takes a hard, thoughtful look at Craven’s legacy and the genre, carving up brutal commentary while holding up a bloodied...

We’re now just a few short days away from the release of Scream, which feels like the most hotly anticipated horror movie since Halloween back in 2018. And it’s not even the only big horror franchise return on the way here in 2022, but let’s focus on the here and now! Our review of the new Scream movie will be published tomorrow, but in the meantime, another brand new official poster from Creepy Duck Design has debuted today. It once again brings a retro vibe to the new movie, and...

A planned remake of The Raid from director Joe Carnahan has recently morphed into a different project entirely, but another new take on the Indonesian fight film has now sprung up. Deadline reports that Michael Bay is on board to produce an American remake of The Raid for Netflix, with original director Gareth Evans also involved as executive producer. Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard) is directing, and he’ll also be co-writing the script with James Beaufort. Deadline reminds, “The original film was written...

Yeah, we know it sucks that for whatever reason, Capcom still hasn’t budged (as far as we know) on revisiting the Dino Crisis series. With games like Deathground and Instinction on the way, at least fans have spiritual successors to look forward to. But what if Capcom did decide to given Regina and company a new life? One artist has decided to whip up something that could give us a glimpse into what it would look like. Character Designer Mike Wilson (no relation) has posted his take on a modern...

While we haven’t quite gotten to the point of kicking ass FOR THE LORD quite yet in video games, CeleritasGames’ upcoming co-op Survival Horror game Holy Purge is a step in the right direction. Set for release soon on Steam, the game has you and two friends uniting your holy powers as priests to purge evil from a medieval village. Players will have to collect holy items in order to conduct a ritual to dispel a curse on the village. Of course, it’s never that easy. In addition to the...

Writing my top records for 2021 proved to be a challenge considering all the good music that came out last year – and 2022 already looks to be just as exciting. Across death metal, doom, ambient, avant-garde, nu metal, and even more, there’s a lot to be on the lookout for. An important note that I want to share is that, while the below includes albums that have been officially announced with dates (or are at least in production/rumored), there are always a plethora of amazing records throughout a given...
