via Sony Horror has always been known to court controversy in an effort to turn notoriety into tangible financial rewards, but the release of 2018’s schlocky supernatural chiller Slender Man turned out to be tasteless and offensive in more ways than one. Director Sylvain White’s studio-backed genre movie came to theaters only four years after the notorious incident that saw a young girl lured into the woods by two of her friends where she was stabbed 19 times. As you can imagine, there was a lot of backlash at…

When John Carpenter’s original Halloween was released in 1978, no one could have anticipated it would be one of the best horror movies of all time or the cultural phenomenon it has become. Across thirteen films, two remakes, and three reboots, Michael Myers has been stalking all of our collective nightmares for 44 years. While Michael has become the ghostly face of the iconic franchise, another face that is just as intertwined with the series is that of actress Jamie Lee Curtis. David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends (one…

via Saban Films The mystery genre has been making a huge comeback recently, whether it’s Netflix shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars for Knives Out sequels, or Kenneth Branagh and his mighty mustache aiming to churn out more Agatha Christie adaptations. Audiences love the twists, turns, and revelations that come with the genre, even if opinion was split almost right down the middle on 2016’s Come and Find Me. A 64 percent Rotten Tomatoes score may lull you into a false sense of security that Zach…

Previous research shows that people identified as narcissists – those with an inflated sense of their own importance, a lack of empathy, and a need for attention – are more likely to be drawn to and believe in conspiracy theories.A new study offers up four reasons why, based on an analysis of earlier studies: feelings of paranoia, gullibility regarding claims about what is true or otherwise, the need for dominance, and the need for uniqueness. They can all play a part in establishing this link between narcissists and…

via Lionsgate Through either design or necessity, John Cusack and Ryan Phillipe have both become regular fixtures on the VOD thriller circuit, so it was almost inevitable that their paths would cross eventually. When they did, con artist tale Reclaim couldn’t even scam its way to a single positive review. On Rotten Tomatoes, the forgotten 2014 flick holds a mighty score of zero percent, and you know things are bad when the faintest praise directed towards Alan White’s dud is that there’s some nice scenery on…

Twitter wants all of Tesla’s documents and communications related to Elon Musk’s bid to take over the social media company, according to a new subpoena filed August 2nd.

Twitter is suing Musk in Delaware court to force him to go through with his $44 billion plan to buy the San Francisco-based company. Musk is attempting to abandon…

A revelation.” That was the verdict of Observer art critic Laura Cummings in 2015 on the first major exhibition of Eric Ravilious’ watercolours since he was killed in 1942 aged 39 while serving as a war artist. His work was almost forgotten until his children found a stash under a bed in the 1970s.This well-crafted documentary makes a thorough and convincing case for Ravilious as a major figure in early 20th-century art. It’s a portrait of the artist as a tea-sipping…
