Evil Dead Rise hits theaters on Friday, bringing with it copious gore and Deadites galore, but no wisecracking Bruce Campbell; the setting also shifts the action from the woods to Los Angeles. Somehow, it still feels very true to the beloved horror series, and io9 got a chance to talk to writer-director Lee Cronin to learn more.Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard Nerd Out About Jurassic Park's Returning HeroesCheryl Eddy, io9: You’ve said in other interviews that you didn’t want to just do another cabin in the woods tale…

Created by Alice Birch and starring Rachel Weisz (twice), Prime Video’s Dead Ringers evolves David Cronenberg’s 1988 squirm-inducing classic about twins whose obsession with each other becomes their downfall. Ahead of the six-episode series’ release on April 21, io9 spoke with two of Dead Ringers’ key co-stars, whose characters help build out the world of Weisz’s increasingly unhinged Drs. Elliot and Beverly Mantle.Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard Nerd Out About Jurassic Park's Returning HeroesJennifer Ehle (Saint…

David Cronenberg’s 1988 film Dead Ringers set a new standard for twisted twin tales—but Prime Video’s new series adaptation, with Rachel Weisz playing sister versions of Drs. Elliot and Beverly Mantle, the brothers Jeremy Irons played in the movie, carves out its own disturbing place in the genre.

Screenshot: Disney+By Sabina GravesFlorida’s controversial anti-LGBTQ “Don’t Say Gay” bill has passed the state senate, heading to the desk of governor Ron DeSantis, all but guaranteeing its entry into state law—and one of the state’s biggest businesses, the Walt Disney Company, has largely chosen to stay silent.Instead of turning its attention toward supporting LGBTQ youth and their families, Disney focused its efforts on a different situation making headlines in Florida: its latest luxury vacation venture aboard the…

Image: NintendoEvery character in the main crew of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is excellent, either standing alone or voltron’d into one of the strongest JRPG parties in decades, but a particular highlight in its incredibly likeable cast is the rough-and-ready Eunie. Initially one of the team’s healers, the fact that she has a penchant for either wanting to take the piss out of, or bite the head off of, anyone who comes near her is hilarious, but as you get to sit with her more, and as she navigates the trauma of everything…

Image: Macmillan, Penguin Random HouseWhile I’m not as voracious a reader as I used to be, novels were my first entry into fantasy and science fiction and remain my favorite way to escape into another world.

Whether that’s romance as in fealty or romance as in smooching is up…

Image: The CWFor some unknown, godforsaken reason, I decided to rewatch Supernatural this year. Yes. All of it. I had only ever seen random episodes and maybe I watched seasons 1-5 during a depressive episode in college, but I dropped off around 2014, and by god, that show went until 2020 and I was going to watch it. So I did. Every single episode. It took six months of near-constant viewing but I am a goddamn trooper and I found ways to make it fun. From pointing out the outdated gay jokes to lamenting the point when the…
