There’s an infectious energy in the early parts of Edgar Wright’s new film, Last Night in Soho. The film opens with a dance number as aspiring fashion designer Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) lip-synchs to one of her many records in her grandmother (Rita Tushingham)’s country house and this effusive excitement permeates the screen. Eloise is an old soul: she gets along better with older people and prefers the fashion and culture of the 60s. This immediately sets her apart from her fellow students when she arrives at a prestigious London fashion...

Inexorable. Adj: meaning impossible to stop or prevent.  That’s not quite an accurate depiction of what occurs in Fabrice Du Welz’s latest film. Sure, once events are put into motion, they’re difficult to stop, but the Belgian filmmaker, known for his share of provocative films, is treading lightly with Inexorable, an erotic thriller that’s sadly coming up short in both areas. Marcel Bellmer (Benoît Poelvoorde) is a renowned author, best known for his bestselling novel Inexorable. As he prepares to write his next book, he and his wife Jeanne (Mélanie...

Nintendo Switch fans will finally get their opportunity to play Sabre Interactive’s World War Z.

As a result, additions like the Horde Mode will not be included for the Switch version. There’s no word yet on when/if Aftermath will be coming to the Switch, so fingers...

Existing somewhere at the crossroads of Jack Ketchum’s “The Box” and Rose Glass’s Saint Maud lies A Banquet. A strange affliction wreaks havoc on the lives of a family still on the mend from tragedy. Ruth Paxton’s feature debut favors a slow simmering atmosphere in a psychodrama that sees a family in psychological deterioration. One that can test the audience’s patience as much as it does its lead characters. Holly (Sienna Guillory) puts on a brave face to raise her daughters alone after losing her husband to a horrible illness. Putting all of her...

In time for Halloween, Old is now headed home. The film will be released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD on October 19, according to a listing over on Amazon this week.

From the bonkers opening scene, James Wan establishes his return to horror will easily become his most polarizing yet. Channeling the spectacle of late ’90s Dark Castle, the opening sequence sets up an outlandish plot that feels lifted from the ’90s both in tone and bloodletting, signaling a wild ride ahead where you’re on its outrageous wavelength, or you’re not. It’s the precise type of horror that hits harder with horror fans but might confuse mainstream audiences not in the know. It’s the early ’90s, and a sprawling Gothic castle-like...

Aliens: Fireteam Elite fans have gotten their first taste of what’s to come with the first season of DLC with a new trailer, showcasing the brand-new Phalanx class. Best of all, it’s free and out now! The Phalanx class comes equipped with a collapsible shield, which allows them to serve as mobile bunkers. However, as a result, the class is restricted to one-handed weapons, such as the class’ handgun and CQW. To even the odds, the Phalanx can trigger a point-blank Shock Pulse when swarmed by enemies. In addition to...

It was just last week that we were treated to the first images from Sony’s Johannes Roberts-directed film reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which aims to dial up the horror and leave behind the sci-fi action of the previous movies in the franchise. Welcome to Raccoon City is headed to theaters on November 24, and we’ve got a new sneak peek today.

Michael Dougherty‘s Krampus returns to terrorize the holiday season this year, with Scream Factory announcing last week that a 4K release is on the way on the road to Christmas. Krampus: The Naughty Cut was originally coming to 4K Ultra HD on November 16, but Scream Factory has updated today with the news that it’s been bumped back a tad bit. The good news? It’s still coming *before* Christmas!

Draw Two. After getting fancy (and super duper queer) with Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope, we entered the gooey world of David Cronenberg in his masterpiece The Fly and we unpacked the white privilege in Bernard Rose’s Candyman. Now, we’re wielding our katanas and visiting the small German village at the center of Till Kleinert’s psychosexual thriller Der Samurai. Set in a small German village, Der Samurai sees a bloody game of cat-and-mouse ensue between a young, straight-shooting police officer (Michel Diercks) and a villain (Pit Bukowski) who wears a dress, wields a large sword and...

Fourteen years later, Bloody Disgusting extends congratulations to Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which has done something no movie (including Christopher Nolan’s Tenet last year) has been able to do: take...
