While I think there’s a case to be made in defense of films like Paul W.S. Anderson’s Mortal Kombat and Christophe Gans’ Silent Hill, it’s easy to understand why videogame adaptations were once regarded as the lowest form of cinema. Fortunately, recent years have been kinder to gamers who also like to see their favorite franchises tackle other mediums. From Netflix’s Castlevania to Sonic the Hedgehog and even the upcoming Resident Evil reboot, it feels like studios are finally hiring genuine fans to helm these productions.

You probably didn’t even notice, but Bob Odenkirk (Nobody) makes a highly amusing cameo in Halloween Kills, an old yearbook photo of the actor included in a bit of news footage. In the blink-and-miss-it cameo, Odenkirk’s old yearbook photo is used to depict the character Bob Simms from the original Halloween murders, who was of course killed by Michael Myers in John Carpenter’s original classic. Bob, the boyfriend of P.J. Soles’ Lynda, was played by John Michael Graham in the 1978 movie, but it turns out an image of the...

With introductions and setup out of the way, our favorite Good Guy doll can cut loose. Literally. Episode two of “Chucky”, “Give Me Something Good to Eat,” deepens character dynamics, unleashes Chucky’s personality in full force, sharpens its narrative, and gives the pint-sized murderer a loathsome target. More importantly, Chucky infectiously embraces the Halloween spirit. In the immediate aftermath of the premiere episode’s major death, Bree (Lexa Doig) and Logan Wheeler (Devon Sawa) have taken in their nephew, Jake (Zackary Arthur), with Chucky in tow. Jake’s cousin, Junior (Teo Briones),...

Wes Craven’s Scream is now available for the first time on 4K Ultra HD and in a newly remastered Blu-ray, packed with special features that examine the smash hit and its legacy.

“This is where it all started.” From director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night), Sony’s Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City promises to bring the franchise back to its horror roots, headed to theaters on November 24. The movie is said to kick off “a new universe inspired by storylines and characters from Capcom’s classic Resident Evil games.” A brand new featurette has been released today, and while it doesn’t include much new footage, it does tease how faithful to the original games the movie has aimed to be. “This is a horror...

Beloved by horror fans and rife with sequel potential, we sure would love to see more Psycho Goreman down the road, but does the creator/director of the film feel the same way? Chatting with Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew Podcast, Psycho Goreman director Steven Kostanski provides some exclusive tidbits about the future of the badass character. “I want to follow that up with something that delivers, and so the more people love the movie and want more from it, the more I’m like ‘oh shit, I’ve gotta deliver a thing.’...
