Spare no expense! After closing out May with the first half of our dino double feature in Tammy and the T-Rex, we’re kicking off June (and concluding the double feature) with a look at Steven Spielberg‘s 1993 classic Jurassic Park! In the film, wealthy businessman John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park filled with dinosaurs. When industrial sabotage leads to a catastrophic shutdown of the park’s power facilities and security precautions, a small group of visitors, including Hammond’s grandchildren (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazello),...

For the longest time, animation has been hindered by a misguided notion that animated movies are meant for kids. Sure, there have always been popular outliers like the infamous Fritz the Cat and 1981’s Heavy Metal, but it was only recently that animation began to be legitimized by the industry at large (even if that’s mostly due to a handful of auteurs like Guillermo del Toro publicly defending animation as a medium instead of a genre). Unfortunately, this means that plenty of edgier animated projects ended up slipping through the...

The spirit of Stuart Gordon is alive and well in Joe Lynch’s Suitable Flesh. The adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Thing on the Doorstep,” written by Dennis Paoli (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Dagon), and produced by Brian Yuzna and Barbara Crampton, seamlessly inserts itself into Gordon’s Lovecraftian cinematic world from its opening scene set in a hospital that’s instantly evocative of Re-Animator. Lynch captures the humorous, oft-sexy tone of Gordon’s ‘80s/’90s Lovecraftian horror output while putting his own stamp on it through keen instincts and modern storytelling. Psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Derby (Heather Graham) had it all; a doting husband in Edward (Johnathon...

Apogee has announced that their cyberpunk boomer shooter Turbo Overkill will finally be set for release next month on July 18th. As well, developer Trigger Happy Interactive has launched the first part of the final episode for the throwback shooter, entitled “The Final Episode, Part 1” (naturally) via Steam Early Access and GOG, with the second half launching alongside the final game. The release of Turbo Overkill: The Final Episode, Part 1 kicks destruction into overdrive with five new Syn-enhanced, ability-boosting augments: paint the town red with dual chainsaw arms, and...

I’m a huge fan of the slasher genre. Out of every sub category in the wide horror genre, the slasher appeals to me the most. There’s just something thrilling about watching characters attempt to survive a monster in a mask that wants to butcher them to bits. Despite it being one of the most successful subgenres of film, it hasn’t really cracked the video game space all that much. Sure we’ve had gems like Friday the 13th, and some inversions of the genre like Until Dawn. But for the most...

Tom Hardy will be back as Venom in Sony’s upcoming Venom 3, but when can you expect to see Eddie Brock and his symbiotic BFF back up on the big screen? According to a new report from Variety, Venom 3 is shooting for an October 2024 release! This checks out, as both Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) were unleashed into theaters in October. That seems to be the sweet spot for this franchise. Shooting on Venom 3 is expected to begin very soon, but we don’t yet know...

This Halloween, Ruthless Studios will unleash the third entry of the All Hallows’ Eve series, which introduced the world to the iconic slasher Art the Clown way back in 2013. Titled All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster, this latest entry into the anthology film franchise, which prides itself on spotlighting the hard work of the indie horror community, is ready to shine the spotlight on a brand-new crop of filmmakers. Releasing October 2023, All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster will feature a collection of short films curated by one of the producers of the...

Lionsgate are obviously riding the success of the John Wick series with the upcoming Ballerina spinoff and “The Continental” TV series. And not only is John Wick 5 also in development, but Wick will be making a return to video games, as well. According to the latest Lionsgate earnings call (via Comicbook), Lionsgate Motion Picture Group President Joe Drake confirmed that a fifth John Wick is in early development. Along with that, the studio is looking to expand beyond film, including “in the AAA video game space,” as well as...

“With all of the remakes going on today, you can never be sure what you’ll get at the end.” It was with this cautious scepticism that veteran game designer, Frédérick Raynal, initially greeted the news of his most famous creation, Alone in the Dark, getting another do-over. Which is an understandable reaction, given that this franchise has a singularly bad track-record when it comes to being fumbled by outsiders. And that’s putting it lightly, as anybody who has ever played 2015’s risible Illumination will attest. You see, while other survival...

When Terrifier 2 was released in theaters, much of the conversation surrounding it was devoted to its gruesome practical effects, insane levels of violence and gore, and audience reactions that included vomiting and fainting on a level not reported since the release of The Exorcist nearly fifty years before. It was being sold as a movie that would test the mettle of even the most hardened horror fan, almost like a dare, and I was excited to take that challenge. When I settled into my seat a couple weeks later,...

Announced last June, Capcom took the wrappings off of Dragon’s Dogma II with a brand new trailer at the Sony State of Play. Dragon’s Dogma II begins in a subterranean jail, where the Dragon’s voice echoes in the fog of lost memories. With their heart taken by the Dragon, the Arisen is set on a path to slay that symbol of the world’s destruction as it soars through the sky on massive wings, breathing flames that scorch everything in its path. Betwixt the domains of humans and the newly introduced...

Kristen Stewart and Elle Fanning will lead the cast of the upcoming psychological drama Rosebushpruning, Deadline reports, a new take on the 1965 movie Fists in the Pocket. From The Match Factory and Mubi, the film will be directed by Karim Aïnouz (Firebrand). “Rosebushpruning is a dark satire of family and social values, centering on a young man suffering from epilepsy who plots the murders of his dysfunctional family.” Josh O’Connor will also star in Rosebushpruning. Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth) wrote the screenplay for the remake. “Marco Bellocchio’s astonishing debut, Fists in the...
