There’s nothing quite like a throwback film – whether it’s driven by nostalgia or executed as a creative exercise, it’s fun to see how creatives handle the material. Weston Razooli’s Riddle of Fire has all of the hallmarks of a classic ’80s children adventure film, mixed with the quaintness of a British fairytale. This is evident from the film’s opening scene, which features ethereal folk music, heavily stylized cursive font, and fairytale language: “Are ye a knight or are ye a squire? Can ye solve the Riddle of Fire?” Like...

In a series of posts on X, Olsson has revealed Shell Shocked mode to be part of the Halloween update for Amnesia: The Bunker. Shell Shocked mode will effectively remove all of the...

The premise of writer/director Jason Yu’s feature debut Sleep is great. Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi) and Hyun-su (Lee Sun-kyun) are expecting parents living in an apartment with paper thin walls and contending with a lot of stress. Their downstairs neighbour complains about the barking of their dog Pepper, Soo-jin is still working in an office despite her rapidly approaching due date, and Hyung is growing disillusioned with his acting career. It’s hardly surprising, then, when Soo-jin wakes one night to find her husband sitting stiffly at the edge of the bed,...

What do you do when you’re on break from opening for Metallica’s world tour? In the case of Ice Nine Kills, you gather a couple thousand of your biggest fans for an unforgettable rock show. For the second consecutive year, the Massachusetts-based band headlined a concert as part of Silver Scream Con, a horror convention curated by Ice Nine Kills mastermind Spencer Charnas. After last year’s intimate performance effortlessly sold out the 850-seat Cabot Theater in Beverly, MA, this year’s event was booked at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium in Lynn,...

“I’ve been guarding my gate for a long time, bitch!” This is one of many wholesome one liners Freddy Krueger drops in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. And when we’re here talking about the 35th anniversary of the fourth film of the franchise? He’s right. And The Dream Master only gets better with age. An inexperienced but hungry young director in Renny Harlin facing a rushed production, a producer (Robert Shaye) understandably skeptical of Harlin’s abilities, and a (very apropos for the 35th anniversary) writer’s strike causing...

When I booted up Mortal Kombat 1, I had no idea what was in store for me. In the months leading up to release, developer Netherrealm Studios had been positioning the game as a massive reinvention of the Mortal Kombat franchise with the introduction of the game’s new timeline reset and the “Kameo” system that allows players to bring in an additional fighter to use for assistance during combat. There was a very real fear that the series was moving too far away from everything that made the more recent...

In celebration of the film’s Digital release today, A24 has also put up for grabs a screen-accurate replica of the “Party Hand” from Talk to Me, and it’s available now in their shop!

Slasher riffs and parodies date back nearly as long as slashers themselves, dissecting the enduring tropes and familiar formulas. In Hell of a Summer, first-time directors/writers Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”) and Billy Bryk (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) frame their slasher riff as a buddy comedy from the perspective of teens, aimed solely at teens. The directors’ acting backgrounds translate to an ensemble of entertaining and lively performances, though their debut is less effective in form and slasher thrills. After a requisite opening kill, Hell of a Summer spends a lengthy first act assembling Camp Pineway’s summer camp counselors, running...
