It’s hard to pin down what kind of film The Block Island Sound is, but that’s actually a large part of its appeal. The film hails from siblings Kevin & Matthew McManus, who were responsible for Netflix’s short-lived two season wonder American Vandal. Anyone familiar with that surprisingly smart and complex series won’t be surprised to
Huge, most excellent news heading into the weekend with Orion’s highly anticipated Bill & Ted Face the Music now in theaters/drive-ins and on VOD platforms.

Activision has announced a new Call of Duty game with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the direct sequel to the original and fan-favorite Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Horror comes in many guises and forms, with many takes on the genre feeding off of our own personal fears and aversions. From the guts and gore of splatter cinema to eerie tellings of the paranormal, there’s plenty of ways to harvest the screams of fear-loving fans. There is, however, one guaranteed method of unnerving
I’ve had a passion for found-footage ever since I first laid eyes on The Blair Witch Project. I don’t think there’s any other sub-genre out there that can reduce filmmaking to its bare essentials and still craft highly effective stories that are just as impactful in your living room or laptop as they are on
“A Scottish serial killer and necrophile who murdered at least twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London, England” (Wikipedia), Dennis Nilsen died in prison back in 2018, and this year the real-life monster is being brought to the screen in the ITV drama series “Des.” Nilsen will be played David Tennant, who is damn near unrecognizable

With all of the new and upcoming videogame-to-board game adaptations, there was bound to be a snag somewhere. Unfortunately for Metal Gear Solid fans, that snag has happened to them.
