While I was a self-proclaimed scaredy-cat for the majority of my life, I’ve learned that I actually have a pretty thick skin, and I can handle a scary movie. However, Zodiac got me. Obviously, I knew what I was getting myself into with this film starring Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr. that’s considered one of David Fincher’s best, but it hit me so hard that I was genuinely haunted by it. Why Zodiac Is The Scariest Movie I’ve Ever SeenAfter watching Zodiac, three major elements made it truly…

Mark Jansen / Digital Trends Anxiety and depression are on the rise in the U.S., most likely spurred on by the global trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic but not helped by the fast pace of everyday modern life. So, when I was approached to try out the Apollo wearable — a wearable device that claims to lower stress levels, boost meditative states, and improve focus and sleep quality — I jumped at the chance. How does it do this? Good vibrations — literally! The Apollo claims to tap into your nervous system through…

So Apple it looks like Apple is making a smart ring — but should you be paying attention? After all, surely you can get the data you need from your smartwatch.

And as your clip library grows, you'll be glad you've made use of this feature. To favorite a clip, you simply select it in the clip library, which is directly to the left of the preview pane,…

People regularly invoke your name as someone they’d like to join them at the perfect dinner party. Are you such a fantastic guest? hhhhssssWhen people say that, I usually reply: “Ah, you haven’t seen me eat.” It’s a very charming thing to hear, a way people get, I guess, to list qualities of their heroes or people they admire and imagine very kindly that I’m a good speaker or that I’m a wit of some sort, and hope I’m friendly. The list usually includes Winston Churchill and Oscar Wilde and I always feel extremely…

Taylor Clemons/ZDNETZDNET's key takeawaysThe SteelSeries Arena 9 5.1CH speaker system is available at Amazon, and SteelSeriesspeaker system, I thought it was complete overkill. Five speakers and a subwoofer (plus the OLED controller and the many, many cables) felt like an absurd amount of audio equipment for most gamers who may only have one platform they prefer: PC, Xbox, Switch, or PS5. And it is. But if you frequently switch between console and PC gaming, or your home office doubles as your gaming room, the Arena…

There are some stars you know are just going to crush it when it comes to the red carpet. For example, Janelle Monáe is a work of art in her ensembles, and Florence Pugh’s outfits as well have become must-see fashion moments — particularly when it comes to the see-through trend. Rachel Zegler is also known to sport some memorable looks, and her latest dress — a black semi-sheer netted number that she wore to the People’s Choice Awards — may be her most divine look yet.The star of the upcoming live-action Snow White…

If you’ve ever fantasised about starring in your own version of Paul Verhoeven’s blistering sci-fi satire Starship Troopers, you can now rest easy: your wish has been answered. Helldivers 2, the sequel to the 2015 topdown co-op shooter, is an online game in which beefy space marines blast down to alien planets and, spurred on by jingoistic slogans, pulverise anything that moves with super hi-tech weaponry.
