Nearly twenty years after starring in Troll 2, filmmaker Michael Paul Stephenson made a documentary about it, Best Worst Movie, that chronicled its cult fandom and key players involved with the film’s creation. His follow-up documentary, The American Scream, put a compassionate and joyful spotlight on the Halloween home haunt, told through three households in a Massachusetts town. Stephenson’s latest, Attack of the Murder Hornets, takes on a timely subject and approaches it through a ‘50s style horror lens, infusing his sense of wonder and humor along the way. Mere months into the...

After finally seeing a release on the Nintendo Switch last October, Running With Scissors has released Postal Redux on the PlayStation 4. As with the Switch and Steam releases, the game includes all of the previously-released DLC, as well as the Redux-exclusive Rampage mode. It’s quite the ride for Postal Redux to the PlayStation 4, as it was originally intended to come out alongside the PC release (thanks, COGconnected). However, low sales of the PC version resulted in Running With Scissors getting second thoughts and canning the PS4 version. Fortunately,...

Published in 1984 and written by Stephen King and Peter Straub, fantasy epic The Talisman is one of the few notable King stories that to date has not yet been adapted for either the small screen or the big one. This despite Steven Spielberg owning the rights to the book since the ’80s, with various planned adaptations taking different forms over the years. Well it may finally be happening, as THR reports today that Spielberg has joined forces with “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer to adapt the novel for the small screen! The Duffer...

The old saying goes that a story is only as good as its villain. And for the Resident Evil series, there’s plenty of villains to go around. Obviously, much like the entries in the series, some villains are more memorable than others for one reason or another, but they’ve all contributed in some way to making the franchise what it is today. So, seeing as we’re hyped up on Resident Evil for its big 2-5, it’s only fair that we take a look at those principal antagonists that made our...

If you’re a fan of “Sherlock” and “Dracula”, Hartswood Films, the British company behind both, is next waking up in the middle of “The Devil’s Hour”, which Amazon has already greenlit, reports Deadline. “From the mind of rising British writer Tom Moran, “The Devil’s Hour” is a UK original that tells the story of a woman who wakes up every night at exactly 3.33 am, in the middle of the so-called devil’s hour between 3 am and 4 am,” notes the site. “Lucy Chambers’ eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless....

It’s a horror criticism cliché to say that “whatever a filmmaker presents you with on-screen, it won’t match what already exists within your own head’’. The overused platitude is trotted out on a regular basis to lambast directors for supposedly ‘’showing too much’’ – with the insinuation being that an antagonist is often more frightening if they remain unseen. That true horror is best left to our imaginations.  But here’s the thing: a lot of very talented individuals are employed by the movie industry and have frankly demented imaginations that...
