Marvel Finally Addresses Black Panther 2 Doctor Doom Theory

New DVD release
This post contains potential spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Namor the Sub-Mariner sits at the foot of Castle Doom, an exorbitant spread set before him. Despite the luxury he experiences as a guest of Latverian ruler Victor Von Doom, Namor lacks his usual arrogance. After all, Namor comes to Dr. Doom with the knowledge that he failed, that his previous alliances with both the Illuminati and their villainous counterpart the Cabal have reached their end. This humbling experience notwithstanding, Namor makes his pitch, certain that Doom could not resist the opportunity to save the world and succeed where his…

The Enduring Impact of Marvel’s Black Panther

New DVD release
The year 2018 seems so long ago for fans of the MCU. Everyone remembers where they were when they saw Avengers: Infinity War, and how their theater reacted to Thanos snapping his fingers. But before that, another MCU film managed to become a cultural juggernaut earlier in the year: Black Panther. The film’s journey actually started in the 90s, when Wesley Snipes first attempted to get a Black Panther adaptation off the ground. The film was in the pre-development phase up until Snipes’ imprisonment for tax evasion in 2010, and was ultimately unsuccessful due to its inability to find the…

The Best Horror Movies Based on Ghost Stories

New DVD release
Ghost stories have been around forever, and will haunt us long after we are ghosts. Before film, most apparitional tales came from novels or short stories. Yes, there were oral traditions of the spooky place down the block or the hitchhiker on a lost highway, but usually someone put it down in a book. Some of the greatest films about hauntings originate as full cinema creations, with a director’s dark vision on the screen, others come from true cases or urban legends. These ghost stories are novel ideas. This is by no means a complete list. Almost every Edgar Allan…

The Best Movies About Making Horror Movies

New DVD release
From Shelley Duvall’s traumatic experience shooting Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining to the infamous “curse” on the crew of The Exorcist, cinema is littered with behind-the-scenes horror stories, many of which haunt the best scary movies out there. But while truth can often be scarier than fiction, some truly unsettling horror movies have been based around the concept of making horror movies themselves. Mise en abyme (French for “placed into an abyss”)  is a concept about images within images that dates all the way back to the early-modern period. But in terms of movie parlance, this means a film-within-a-film. Movies of…

Which Dracula Movie Is Most Faithful to Bram Stoker?

New DVD release
Dracula is one of the most recognizable figures in popular culture, having been a mainstay of literature, film, stage, comics, TV, and more for 125 years. And it all flows back to Bram Stoker’s original 1897 novel, Dracula, which not only stands as a milestone in both horror and English literature, but provided the template for the vampire that has influenced a vast swath of entertainment for more than a century. The ancient Transylvanian Count has appeared in scores of films and TV shows over the years, but while there have been at least eight major, direct adaptations of Stoker’s…

Jennifer Coolidge’s Best Roles Before The White Lotus

New DVD release
Jennifer Coolidge is a testament to what great talent, confidence, charisma, and wit can bring to the table in Hollywood. The entertainment industry has a long, tired history of misogyny and mistreatment of women, particularly older actresses, but Coolidge has defied the odds by continuing to shine into her 50s and 60s. Coolidge’s immense comedic skills have broken the mold for decades now.  Jennifer Coolidge’s most famous role is arguably her iconic portrayal of Stifler’s Mom in the cult classic American Pie films. Twenty years later, she received well-earned awards publicity with an Emmy win for ditzy dame Tanya McQuoid…

Mandy Director Opens up about “Bizarre” Next Film and Love for Buckaroo Banzai

New DVD release
Although the Nicolas Cage-led Mandy was critically acclaimed and became instant cult classic back in 2018, it’s been a while since we’ve heard from the movie’s Italian-born director, Panos Cosmatos. If you consider yourself part his rapidly-increasing fan base and have been eagerly awaiting his next joint, we have good news: not only is his installment of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix a stone cold banger, we can also reveal he’s busy working on his next TWO feature films, the first of which sounds like another wild trip. Nekrokosm will partner Cosmatos with the envelope-pushing A24 for…

The Best Horror Movies of the ’90s

New DVD release
Some people say the 1990s wasn’t the best time for horror since it marked the end of many of the popular slasher franchises from the ‘70s and ‘80s that previous generations grew up on. In those movies’ place, the ‘90s introduced way more postmodern teen horrors (following on from Scream). But there was way more to ‘90s horror than that, and it was an era which deserves a second look. While Scream was revising the slasher model, making it more female-friendly and catering to teen gore hounds who knew all the tricks, The Blair Witch Project ushered in a new…

Barbarian: Suburbia is Still the Scariest Place in America

New DVD release
Barbarian is filled with insane twists, but the most shocking might be the one that occurs just over an hour in. After we’ve already watched Keith (Bill Skarsgård) get brutally killed by a monster dwelling in the tunnels underneath the Detroit house he’s rented, and after we’ve seen disgraced actor AJ (Justin Long) discover the same tunnels, director Zach Cregger hard cuts to 40 years earlier.  In a shot that mirrors the opening image of the house, we witness the neighborhood as it was: blue skies, green lawns, and even a literal white picket fence. From the house emerges nondescript…

Great Horror Comedy Movies to Watch After Barbarian

New DVD release
Zach Cregger’s Barbarian is one of the surprise horror hits of the year. Combining wicked twists, an unorthodox structure, and a dash of good humor (Cregger’s background with the sketch comedy troupe, The Whitest Kids U’Know, certainly helped in that avenue), Barbarian became a word-of-mouth hit that’s now finding an even wider audience thanks to streaming on HBO Max. Fun, but still unsettling at times, Barbarian strikes a campy horror tone that’s both refreshingly irreverent and also cinematically satisfying. With Spooky Season heading to a close, and Halloween right around the corner, you might be looking for more films that…

Barbarian: The Horrifying Morality of Tess’ Choices

New DVD release
This article contains Barbarian spoilers. Do not go down there. Just turn around and leave. This is a thought audiences have shared—and even screamed—in movie houses for as long as there have been horror pictures. Why did this ostensibly smart character make that dumb choice? Why did they not say, “nope!” This is a question Zach Cregger’s Barbarian addresses head-on by having its heroine Tess (Georgina Campbell) time and again recognize what is the smart thing to do and what is the dangerous/foolish choice. And every time, Tess tests our sanity, and perhaps her own, by picking the latter. By…

Top 10 Darkest MCU Moments Ranked

New DVD release
This article contains major MCU spoilers If the Marvel Cinematic Universe does one thing particularly well, it’s deliver family-friendly outings for us all to enjoy. It’s in stark contrast to Warner Bros.’ typical DC output, which has been called out for its bloody and brooding aesthetic that puts the dark in Dark Knight. Although there have been talks about a more mature MCU, we’re still yet to get an R-rated outing – that honour will soon go to Deadpool 3.  That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of death and destruction in the MCU, with movies like Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange…

Barbarian: The Scary Similarities of Justin Long and Bill Skarsgard’s Characters

New DVD release
This article contains major Barbarian spoilers. Before it goes off in directions that no one could have anticipated, Barbarian asks a simple and relatable question: When is it okay to be impolite? That question is posed in the movie’s opening scene, which finds Tess (Georgiana Campbell) arriving late at night at the Detroit house she’s rented via AirBnB, only to learn that it’s already been booked by a man called Keith (Bill Skarsgård). Tess, standing in the rain in a clearly rundown neighborhood, makes her agitation plain as she demands answers from the man in what was to be her…

Star Wars Finally Delivers the Missing Piece of Revenge of the Sith

New DVD release
This Star Wars article contains spoilers for Tales of the Jedi. While The Clone Wars made great strides in redeeming George Lucas’ divisive Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, some fans still consider the animated adventures to have been too bogged down in their own lore and too aimed at kids. That’s all changed with Tales of the Jedi, the new animated anthology series which puts the “dark” into the dark side of the force. Among all the tragedy depicted on the show, one episode sticks out more than most by tying back to an underrated gem from the Prequels. Although 2002’s…

Smile vs Halloween Ends: Original Horror Movies Are Beating Franchises at the Box Office

New DVD release
Halloween ended not with a bang or a whimper, but rather a long wail as it made its way down a precipitous dropoff at the box office. The allegedly final chapter in the Michael Myers and Laurie Strode saga opened well enough for a horror movie greeted by tepid reviews and a day-and-date release strategy on Peacock (more on that later), debuting at $40 million in its first three days. But then came the second weekend and the eyeball-gouging 80 percent drop that accompanied it. Over a weekend dominated by Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, the severe stumble of Halloween Ends…

First Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Reactions Pour In

New DVD release
For a long while, it felt as if Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would never come. Yes, the Marvel Studios sequel to one of 2018’s biggest movies—and the first superhero film ever to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar—was greenlit, and, sure, Ryan Coogler wrote and rewrote his screenplay, with cameras rolling in Georgia and everything. But in the immediate aftermath of the monumental loss of Chadwick Boseman, it seemed difficult to fully accept. How could they continue without that central, indispensable performance? As it turns out, it would be by sincerely honoring to it. When the first teaser for…

The Eerie Rise of Witches at the Movies

New DVD release
Although most synonymous with the Halloween season, witches have woven their way onto the silver screen at every time of the year since the earliest days of the motion picture. From the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz to the Sanderson Sisters in the Hocus Pocus films, witches have long been popular characters, as well as common archetypes in general, akin to the likes of superheroes, vampires, or even Santa Claus. The witch has kept her place as a very common figure in the stories told on film. When you think of a witch, you probably…

The Most Shocking Horror Movie of the Year Is Now on HBO Max

New DVD release
When Universal Pictures released Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho into cinemas in 1960, the notoriously theatrical auteur required an addendum from theater owners: they would close the box office to anyone who showed up after the opening credits began. For the first time ever, a director would require audiences to watch his movie from the beginning. Before the release of Hitch’s horror masterpiece, it was a common habit for audiences to show up late or even in the middle of a movie, buying a ticket and watching the story out of order between multiple showings. However, for a film as twisty as…

Star Wars Finally Solves Big Mystery About Lost Prequel Trilogy Character

New DVD release
As American Horror Stories, Marvel’s What…If?, and Star Wars: Visions have taught us, anthology shows can be a great format with which to experiment with storytelling styles or explore lesser visited corners of a popular universe. And after the success of its riveting anime anthology, the galaxy far, far away is back with more bitesize adventures. Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi promised to revisit the sometimes maligned Prequel Trilogy, and with the first six episodes out, it’s already proved to be a whistlestop of Lucas lore. Whether it’s the adorable Baby Ahsoka or getting Liam Neeson back as Qui-Gon…

How Hollywood Changed Werewolf Lore Forever

New DVD release
“Beware the moon, lads,” two young Americans are told by a cranky pub regular in An American Werewolf in London (1981). Alas, the summer break tourists with sheep shit in their backpacks did not stick to the roads and instead crossed the moors beneath a full moon. After all, that guy sounded crazy. But by the movie’s end, who’s howling now? Horror movies make lycanthropes out to be lunatics, but only during certain moments of the lunar cycle. Why does the wolfman have to wait for a full moon to change though? There are werewolves reading this who are hungry…
