A first-look teaser at “The Boys” spinoff series “Gen V” promised a bloody good time late last year but with no word on when to expect it. Now, thanks to producer Eric Kripke, we can expect school to begin this Fall. Kripke amusingly tweeted, “AND SO IT BEGINS. #GenV coming Fall 2023. Website link below. (Trailer, premiere date, all of it being diligently worked on. It’ll be worth the wait. Hold onto your dicks & vaginas).” The website Kripke refers to is for “Godolkin University,” a work-in-progress official site for the fictional Vought facility training emerging young...

Writer/Director Jalmari Helander delivered a delightfully wicked twist to Santa Claus in 2010’s genre-bender Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Helander’s latest, Sisu, sees the filmmaker reteaming with some familiar Rare Exports faces for another crowd-pleasing genre-bender, this time an R-rated journey through Lapland near the end of World War II. The period action adventure goes hard on hyper-violence and has a sense of humor to match. Jorma Tommila (Rare Exports) stars as Aatami, a former soldier turned solitary miner living out in the wilderness with his loyal dog and horse. When Aatami uncovers an impressive...

To find an exit, the five teenagers must learn to deal with...

The two genre efforts in which she starred are exemplary horror movies of their respective eras; while Rosemary’s Baby has been widely lauded since its release in 1968 (Roman Polanski’s personal life controversies notwithstanding), The Haunting of Julia – known internationally as Full Circle – is a hidden gem ripe for rediscovery. Based on Peter Straub’s 1975 novel Julia, the...
