Link Tank: First Look at the Campaign for Halo Infinite

We finally have some looks at the highly anticipated video game Halo Infinite’s campaign, and it looks very promising. “Halo Infinite picks up after the events of Halo 5 and sees Master Chief trying to figure out why Cortana, his longtime AI partner, went rogue and tried to destroy humanity. He’s seeking another AI, code-named ‘The Weapon,’ who was allegedly designed as a countermeasure to Cortana. The Banished—a splinter faction of Chief’s enemies-turned-allies the Covenant—is in his way.” Read more at Kotaku No, this isn’t a live-action Toy Story remake, but Ryan Gosling is in talks to play Ken in…

Best Korean Horror Movies

If you keep your spooky season watches within the bounds of America and the U.K., then you’re missing out. Some of the scariest horror films are international. Korean pop culture has been in the news lately for the success of social horror Squid Game, but the country’s cinema has been effectively creeping us out for decades. From the monster madness of Bong Joon-ho’s The Host to the unforgettably horrific ending of Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy, here are some of the Korean horror movies you should check out this Halloween season. The Housemaid (1960) Considered one of the best Korean films of…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 2 Review: Six Hours

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 2 Oh boy, where to even begin with this one? After setting up Strand as this season’s big bad in last week’s premiere, “The Beacon,” Fear the Walking Dead now shines the spotlight on its would-be saviors, namely Morgan and Grace. (And I say “would-be” as Alicia remains conspicuously absent.) While they may have finally confessed their love for one another in the face of nuclear annihilation, it quickly becomes apparent in this week’s “Six Hours” that all is not rosy in their cozy submarine.  Indeed, in the months…

Eternals Review: Chloé Zhao Makes a Marvel Movie Like No Other

For considerable swaths of its hefty running time, Marvel Studios’ Eternals doesn’t feel much like the “typical” Marvel movie, whatever that may be. At its best, Eternals attempts to push the Marvel Cinematic Universe forward in new directions, much like Thor, the two Captain America sequels, Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther did. While it may not ultimately be as successful as most of those films were at doing so, Eternals takes more than a few risks—almost payoff enough after 25 previously more traditional MCU outings. The Eternals themselves are probably among the most esoteric and obscure of Marvel’s thousands…

Dune: What Denis Villeneuve Changed from the Book

This article contains major Dune spoilers, for both the page and screen. Denis Villeneuve first daydreamed of making the definitive adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune when he was 14-years-old. He’s said as much when he confided to Den of Geek that “the bible is the book…. I want people who love the book to feel like we put a camera in their minds.” Yet even so, books are books, and films are films, and changes must be made when transitioning between the two mediums. To be sure, Villeneuve made arguably the most faithful recreation of Herbert’s vision of the desert…

Dune Box Office Breaks WB-HBO Max Record, Good Sign for Part Two

The spice must flow, and for the most devoted cinephiles in North America it tasted like popcorn and concessions this weekend. With Denis Villeneuve’s Dune finally in theaters in the U.S. (as well as UK, China, and several other significant markets), the science fiction epic commences its greatest battle—against being released simultaneously on HBO Max. And as of right now, it’s doing relatively well with an estimated box office take of $40.1 million in its opening weekend. This number, which comes from Warner Bros., makes Dune the first WB/HBO Max hybrid release to open north of $31.6 million at the…

Haunting Horror Images That Still Scare Us Today

If a picture paints a thousand words, then here are a bunch of nightmares in the making. The Den of Geek team has put their heads together to identify some of the most haunting single images in horror genre history. Those shots that just on their own can send shivers down your spine. Moments, or pieces of artwork, that immediately make you go “nope!” The kind of image that’ll make you change the channel, throw out your DVD, hit reset on your console, or put down that book. The thing you can never unsee, and remains embedded in your brain…

Locke & Key Season 2 Ending Explained

This article contains major Locke & Key Season 2 spoilers. Netflix‘s fantasy-horror series Locke & Key returned for its second season this month, and managed to genuinely take a big step up in terms of its storytelling and overall quality. There was a lot to love about Season 2, but with a Season 3 already greenlit at the streaming giant and filming underway pretty much back-to-back, things came to a rather strange end during the show’s sophomore finale. Having dealt with the murderous Dodge and having finally pulled their tormented Uncle Duncan into the fold – with mother Nina soon…

Dune (2021) vs. Dune (1984): What Are the Differences?

This article contains spoilers for Dune. Both of them. For miles stretching as far as the eye can see, oceans of sand slumber beneath two moons. In the distance, a pair of figures, a mother and son, cross this vast chasm of dunes on their quest to find those blue-eyed devils they call the Fremen. Yet as Paul Atreides and Lady Jessica move through the harsh landscape, they realize a creature—a monstrous Sandworm the size of a skyscraper—is headed straight for them. Am I describing Denis Villeneuve’s new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s literary masterpiece, Dune, or David Lynch’s previous 1984…

Young Justice Deepens its Legion of Super-Heroes Connections

This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 4 Episode 3 Let’s just get this out of the way now. The scene during the credits, where Superman is talking to Lois on the phone about baby Jon’s Kryptonian poop habits and his powers possibly starting to emerge, is the funniest thing Young Justice has ever done, from the subject matter to the voice acting – Superman screaming “CYBORG I NEED A BOOM TUBE” was a riot. It was a weird tone to attach to an episode that was mostly about how shitty racism is. But tonal dissonance aside,…

How Dune Shaped the Star Wars Saga

This article contains spoilers for Dune and Star Wars. When Frank Herbert published “Dune World,” the first part of what would become the novel Dune in Analog Science Fiction and Fact in 1963, it was a moment that would reverberate through modern science fiction for decades to come, especially on the big screen, where the story’s influence can still be felt to this day. In fact, you can easily track how Herbert’s creation led to some of the biggest blockbuster franchises of all time. If you’ve watched the excellent documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune, you know how the story goes. Alejandro Jodorowsky,…

The Simpsons: The Surprising Influences of Treehouse of Horror

The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror” episodes have become a tradition worthy of international renown and global ill repute. They are dark candy for the soul and a grab bag of tricks and treats. The installments are non-canon, so beloved characters can die horribly amusing deaths, and the normal morality plays of America’s most animated family get maimed into cautionary tales of celebration.  The annual Halloween specials draw their inspiration from many sources. Some are ripped from the pages of great books of literature, others are ripoffs of classic films. The long-running series also ventures deep into other dimensions of sound,…

Who is the Biggest Bastard in Succession?

High drama about the ultra rich, Succession, is a truly wonderful show populated by truly terrible people – and that’s all part of the fun. Focusing on the Roy family, whose patriarch Logan Roy is the owner of a massive media conglomerate (he’s loosely based on Rupert Murdoch), it’s drenched in familial fighting, lies, corruption and political machinations. They’re all awful! We love them! But who is the MOST awful? Now the third season is upon us, we’ve attempted to break down the contemptible behaviour and deep seated damage behind it, to work out exactly which Roy, and Roy-adjacent character…

15 Hardest PlayStation 3 Games of All Time

The PlayStation 3 ranks below the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 4 in the minds of many fans, but it has to be said that the sometimes maligned console is also the home of some of the most notably difficult video games of the relatively modern era. While I don’t think that Sony and their studio partners simply woke up and chose violence in regards to how difficult some of the PS3’s most notable games are, it’s kind of amazing to think that some of this console’s best titles helped change the conversations we have about the very concept of difficult…

Dune: What Happens Next?

This article contains massive Dune spoilers, as well as potential spoilers for Dune Part Two. House Atreides has fallen. That’s where we leave things at the end of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (or Dune Part One as the film waits until the opening title card to reveal). Oscar Isaac’s Duke Leto lies dead, murdered by his own hand with a poison capsule that also killed the top lieutenants of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård), but which left the grotesque fiend still breathing. Meanwhile Leto’s heir, our dear Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), has gone to ground, disappearing into the desert with his…

Dune: Will There Be a Dune Part Two?

This article contains spoilers for Dune. It’s right there in the first few minutes of the movie. As the title Dune materializes onscreen, the words “Part One” appear directly below it. But that’s not really a surprise or a spoiler for those who’ve been paying attention. Director Denis Villeneuve has said all along that his epic new adaptation of author Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi landmark would be split into two films due to the sheer scope and density of Herbert’s narrative. Villeneuve has even hinted at developing a third film based on Herbert’s second novel, Dune Messiah. In a way,…

Marvel Addresses Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter’s Place in the MCU Canon

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s existing 25 movies approach a collective worldwide gross of $23.4 billion, ambiguity continues to define the franchise’s tangential television landscape. After all, while the status of movie-star-headlined Disney+ shows WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki is unquestionable, the canonical place of past purported MCU-connected television content, notably ABC shows Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, experienced retroactive permutations. Now, the release of an official behind-the-scenes book has reignited the debate, leading to some necessary clarification. The book in question, The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is…

Rhythm of War & Other Best Fantasy Doorstoppers

This article is sponsored by Doorstopper fantasy, sometimes referred to as “big fat fantasy,” or even just “big books,” are tomes that typically hit over 500 pages, and they’re often part of a series of similarly lengthy installments. They can be a challenge to hold, and even more challenging to bind so that they don’t fall apart, but they can also be oh-so-satisfying to read. One thing that occasionally makes doorstoppers easier to handle is when they come out in paperback, reducing the sheer weight of the novel, which means that Brandon Sanderson’s paperback release of Rhythm of War, which…
