Blizzard has dropped a Q2 update on the development of Diablo IV, showing off the upcoming title’s graphical chops. The update has Diablo IV‘s art director John Mueller joined by lead character artist Arnaud Kotelnikoff, and associate art director Nick Chilano to share the team’s goals in creating the look of the game. Unlike Diablo III, which had a style that for many was closer to World of WarCraft in its colour scheme and character design, Diablo IV looks to return to a more realistic style. “When I think back...

Actor, writer, and director Josh Ruben has had one hell of a first two years as a filmmaker here on the horror scene, kicking things off with last year’s Scare Me and now enjoying similarly rave reviews for his new video game adaptation Werewolves Within. It was Scare Me that introduced Ruben to horror fans, a unique horror anthology bursting with creativity. Ruben himself stars alongside Aya Cash in Scare Me, an intimate movie wherein the two characters tell one another scary stories on the fly. Those spooky stories they...

We may be halfway through 2021, but the horror genre has a lot more instore for audiences. From home invasions to the purge, to evil clown sightings, zombies, sharks, and so much more – here are the horror movies and shows to catch this month.

Resident Evil fans may be spoiled for choice when it comes to content this year. Between another successful entry in the popular video game franchise, a live-action reboot on the way, and not one, but two, new series heading to Netflix, all bases get covered. The first of the planned Netflix series to arrive is Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, a four-episode CG anime series that puts video game mainstays Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield into a new outbreak mystery. It’s quick, impressively animated, and full of high-octane action and violence. It...

Could it truly be that Polish developer Bloober Team’s The Medium was an audition for making a Silent Hill game for Konami after all? The chances of it being the case have certainly increased with the news that the developer and publisher have entered a cooperative agreement to make something together and learn from each other. The agreement will see the duo jointly develop ‘select contents and exchange know-how’. This naturally led to a lot of speculation that Bloober is the Western developer believed to be working on a Silent...

Let the adventure begin… all over again. The original 1970s TV series “Fantasy Island” only dabbled in horror here and there, but Blumhouse’s 2020 movie brought those elements to the forefront for a full-on horror movie. Now, just one year later, “Fantasy Island” returns as, well, a non-horror TV series. The new “Fantasy Island” premieres on FOX Tuesday, August 10. Watch the trailer below. “A modern drama series, “Fantasy Island” takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out...

By the early 1970s, the counterculture of the previous decade had begun to disperse. Some, weary of what they saw as ineffective nonviolent revolution, became militant. Others withdrew from society altogether into communal life. Still others, having waded through the many spiritual and philosophical options of the 60s, found religion. The so-called Jesus Movement appealed to many hippies because it rejected old-fashioned institutional religion and focused on modeling itself on its image of the early church as led by Jesus and his followers in the first century CE. Along with...

From the first epistolary novels to the Found-Footage craze sparked by The Blair Witch Project, storytellers have been playing around with fact and fiction in order to craft engaging narratives for centuries now. Our ongoing fascination with these myths made real has led to classics like Noroi, REC, and even Bloody Disgusting’s own V/H/S films, all presented as genuine records of horrific events. However, in this sea of recovered SD cards and mysterious videotapes, there’s a hidden gem that manages to redefine Found-Footage while also proving that a little ingenuity...
