The Mill Ending: Joe’s Neighbor Alex Is the Real Cautionary Tale

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers Hulu’s savage new original film The Mill offers a nightmare vision of corporate America controlled by algorithms that physically, mentally, and emotionally punish employees who don’t achieve their quotas. The movie doesn’t seem particularly far-fetched in 2023, despite its outrageous set-up, which is something that the filmmakers have acknowledged. “When we filmed The Mill, these discussions were hypothetical. Our film unexpectedly became relevant. But it’s not just about AI or labor. Joe’s tale isn’t merely topical — it’s universal,” director Sean King O’Grady said of the movie. “It’s about feeling trapped in a system that takes…

The Exorcist: Believer Review – Heaven Help Us

New DVD release
As a basic film property, The Exorcist admittedly makes better sense for David Gordon Green than Halloween ever did. With its acute palette defined by shadings of naturalism and characters whose inner lives are in constant torment, William Friedkin’s original 1973 masterpiece sprang from a more ephemeral, existential place of dread than even the best of slasher franchises. Yes, John Carpenter made a masterpiece too, but by the time Green got there, Michael Myers was the dope who got smacked around by Busta Rhymes. Of course The Exorcist has its own share of terrible sequels (plus an underrated entry helmed…

Best Family-Friendly Spooky Movies to Stream for Halloween 2023

New DVD release
Halloween is spine-chilling in general, but especially so if you’re a parent.  The amount of calories you consume while stealing your children’s hard-won candy? Gasp. Running out of sweets when there’s a minibus worth of spooky kids at your front door (and panic-shoving whatever you find in the cupboards their way, from loose handfuls of cereal to Oxo cubes)? Whimper. The price of Halloween costumes they’ll grow out of by Christmas? SCREAM. You’d be better off extinguishing the pumpkin, barricading the door and curling up with one of these family-friendly Halloween movies instead – from animated delights to cult classics – which…

The Best Movie Flops of the 1990s

New DVD release
Film fans talk about the 1990s as another Golden Age of cinema. Not only is there the jam-packed year of 1999, which gave us classics such as The Matrix, Toy Story 2, and The Talented Mr. Ripley, but the 90s also saw the rise of new auteurs, including Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, and Guillermo del Toro. Hollywood turned its attention to indie and foreign films, enriching a moviegoing experience that still featured fan-favorite blockbusters.  But to really see how good the 90s were, we can’t just look at the hits. Rather, the flops tell us the true…

Fair Play Ending Explained: Phoebe Dynevor Could Have Gone Farther

New DVD release
This article contains Fair Play spoilers. It is not the first time the union of Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) has marked a turning point in the relationship with blood on the floor. When we meet this young couple at Luke’s brother’s wedding at the beginning of the film, they seem hopelessly in love, or at least in sizzling thrall, while attempting to have sex in the bathroom. They don’t actually succeed, however. Instead the pair christen what turns out to be a drunken and ill-conceived marriage proposal by Luke—he drops the engagement ring out of his pocket…

The Exorcist: Believer Ending Explained – Why It’s the Darkest in the Series

New DVD release
This article contains The Exorcist: Believer spoilers. For nearly 20 years, author and screenwriter William Peter Blatty hated the ending of The Exorcist (1973) so much that he could barely speak with its director, William Friedkin. This would have likely struck many as odd considering the film faithfully adapted Blatty’s novel of the same name, and Blatty’s contribution to the work as screenwriter won him an Oscar. But the theatrical ending of that film was made so downbeat by its director—with Father Dyer (William O’Malley) looking at the staircase which stole the life of his best friend Father Karras (Jason…

The Spookiest TV and Movie Urban Legends

New DVD release
*Adopts old-timey prospector voice* Back in my day, we got to believe all sorts of fun nonsense. A friend of a friend would claim to have seen Bigfoot at a Sears. A friend of a friend of a friend would report the existence of a ghost train. A friend of a friend of a friend, twice removed, would send a chain email convinced that if they didn’t their soul would be harvested by a demon. We called this phenomena “urban legends” – silly little folkloric tales that made the world a touch more whimsical. And then the World Wide Web…

The Reason Behind The Exorcist: Believer’s Biggest Change from the Original

New DVD release
“Exorcism is a ritual. Every culture, every religion, they all use different methods… and it’s going to take all of them.” These are the words of Ellen Burstyn’s Chris MacNeil, who’s come a long way since we last saw her in 1973’s The Exorcist. But then she saw the face of the Devil in that film, and 50 years later she now seems intent on offering a different kind of grace in David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer. In the biggest horror movie of the Halloween season, Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, and even an African root doctor, will come together to…

Saw X Tries to Change How You See Jigsaw (and Fails)

New DVD release
John Kramer doesn’t like what he sees. After another disappointing doctor’s visit, the one-time villain of the Saw franchise, Jigsaw, pauses outside a patient’s room in order to have a drink of water. There he spies a custodian (Isan Beomhyun Lee) rifling through the belongings of that patient. The camera holds on Kramer’s eye staring at the custodian’s dirty deed before suddenly hard cutting to a shot of that same custodian, now in a trap. For this game, the custodian must turn a dial and break each of his “sticky” fingers, one by one, or have his eyeballs sucked out…

Horror Movies With Alarming One Word Titles, Ranked By Threat Level

New DVD release
Naming horror movies is a serious business. It needs to sound scary, it shouldn’t give too much away, ideally it shouldn’t be named the same as someone else’s film, but it should also be memorable enough to stick in the brain. So unsurprisingly a lot of horror filmmakers have opted to call their movie “scary sounding adjective”. But which word is scariest? We have ranked the movies based entirely on how alarming our perception of the adjective is. Come at us in the comments.  7. Ominous Rain clouds can be ominous. Your boss saying “can I borrow you for a…

Resident Evil Movies Ranked from Worst to the First One

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers It may seem hard to believe, but at one stage Resident Evil was not only the highest-grossing film series based on a video game, but also the highest-grossing horror film series period. Consisting of six movies and a reboot, the Resident Evil movies just kept making money even while they were being bashed by critics. Most of those critics arguably had valid points, but the arrival of a new Resident Evil movie simply became oddly comforting somewhere along the way. Thanks to the creative voices of Event Horizon director Paul W.S. Anderson and his Fifth Element…

The Creator Wants Us to Consider a Happier Future With AI

New DVD release
The Creator has been a long time coming for Gareth Edwards. The earliest spark of the movie occurred to him nearly seven years ago after finishing work on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The world has thus had a lot of time to change and change again as the film developed. Which makes its arrival in cinemas in September 2023 feel like kismet. After all, this is a film about humans ruthlessly hunting down artificial intelligence, with the desire being to eradicate A.I., root and stem. “I remember when we wrote the first draft about four years ago,” Edwards…

Saw Movies Timeline Explained and When Saw X Takes Place

New DVD release
Hello, Den of Geek readers. We would like to play a little game.  When James Wan and Leigh Whannell unleashed the first Saw in 2004, you might’ve thought the franchise was all about grisly murders and psychological nonsense. But if you still hold true to that opinion, then you have not been paying attention to the backstory and police procedural that accompanied the carnage. With each entry, the Saw franchise embraced flashbacks, flash-forwards, and flash-sideways, becoming more convoluted than that other 2000s phenomenon, Lost.  And now that Saw X is in theaters, you realize that you don’t understand the story…

Martin Scorsese Is Right: The Age of Innocence Is His Most Violent Movie

New DVD release
Director Martin Scorsese has made no secret about growing up in what he calls “a closed society.” Early years spent looking out the window of a Little Italy apartment into scenes of mid-20th century Manhattan—and at the kids he couldn’t play with due to asthma 0r the streetwise guys who would inform future gangster pictures—made him the storyteller he is today. His passion for cinema and for the Catholic Church, his two sanctuaries as a sickly child, were informed by this distinctly New York and working class Italian-American background. His father Charles Scorsese teaching him how to carry oneself in…

The Most Underrated Sci-Fi Movies of the 1950s

New DVD release
The 1950s are considered the “Golden Age” of science fiction cinema, and that’s not just hyperbole. By many accounts, more than 200 sci-fi movies were released during that decade. And while the film industry had sporadically produced quality sci-fi in the years before—ranging from Aelita (1924) to Metropolis (1927), to The Invisible Man (1933)—it wasn’t until the 1950s that classic after classic began to arrive like riches from a long-lost hidden treasure. And when we say classic, we mean films that essentially created the template for all science fiction movies that followed. Just look at this list. The first half…

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Is an Extraordinary Adaptation of a Roald Dahl Story

New DVD release
This article contains The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar spoilers. “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” is only the second time in Wes Anderson’s career that he’s adapted another writer’s work. To put a finer point on it, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” is also the second time he’s adapted a single author’s work: Roald Dahl. (The other time being 2009’s extraordinarily funny, but stop-motion, Fantastic Mr. Fox.) Yet with Anderson’s first foray into streaming, via his 41-minute short film soufflé on Netflix, Anderson is tackling Dahl in a very different manner, and we do not mean simply because…
