At this point in time, it’s common knowledge to argue that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre catalog is one of the most profitable franchises in the history of horror. From the rejuvenated 2022 reboot to an upcoming video game release in 2023, the slasher series remains as a timeless string of content that leaves bones rattled and nerves shaken. And while some sequels in the film franchise are considerably lackluster, one classic sequel has stood the test of time — and that would be Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next…

via 20th Century Fox Based on the fact both installments became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time, it’s utterly insane to think that 20th Century Fox spent a decade trying their hardest to ensure that Deadpool never made it out of development hell. Having been forced to stand idly by and watch the character get butchered beyond recognition in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a role he admitted he only took so that nobody else played it, Ryan Reynolds seized the fourth wall-breaking bull by its self-aware…

Image via 20th Century Fox Hoo boy, the past 24 hours have been a real one for Marvel lovers everywhere. Ryan Reynolds shocked us all by randomly announcing that, yes, after years of making jokes about it on Twitter, he and Hugh Jackman are finally teaming up in Deadpool 3, coming to theaters in fall 2024. Needless to say, we now have so many questions about the X-Men-adjacent threequel, but a couple of major ones may have already been answered… Ryan Reynolds and Huck Jackman promise Logan wasn’t all a lie Image…

Guest appearances from some series veterans Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released the first gameplay trailer for their upcoming remake Like a Dragon: Ishin! — the slick video shows off some of the characters, locales, and intense combat action of the period piece spin-off from the much-loved Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk_z9hyFY1I Originally released in Japan back in 2014 as Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!, Sega’s spin-off sees a suspiciously familiar party of heroes and villains clash…

Image via Gun Media Just a week after the original Friday the 13th director teased what appeared to be a long-awaited 13th installment to the franchise, movie studio New Line Cinema is already hinting at what very well may be the horror icon Jason Vorhees’ return to cinema screens. In a tongue-in-cheek Instagram post, the movie studio posted a photo of a phone lock screen with a notification that “Jason Voorhees Wants to send you a message.” “Uh oh. What do you think Jason Voorhees wants?” New Line Cinema…

Some revised Sony PlayStation 5 models have hit retailers in Australia. Antipodean gaming magazine Press Start shared spec sheets from the new Optical Disc Drive (ODD) and Digital devices. But the only differences that can be seen are the weight reductions. The Sony PlayStation 5 CFI-1202A (with ODD) and PlayStation 5 CFI-1202B (Digital) are 300g and 200g lighter than the current revisions, respectively.

Much of Surendranath’s novella plays out as a stage limited by its location – by no fault of the author’s imagination of course, but due to the narrator’s personal impediments. As a small boy perpetually perched behind the window curtains, the narrator is held captive by his ailing health, stunted growth and disfigured appearance but mostly by his family’s rigorous protection. Beyond the mise-en-scène of this two-room home on a rather uneventful street, the book is flooded with the miseries of the eight family members –…

via New Line Cinema With very few exceptions, it wouldn’t be a stretch to suggest that the 1990s was hardly a banner decade for the superhero genre, but things ended with a bang when Blade came along to set out its stall as one of the most important and influential comic book adaptations ever made. Tim Burton’s first two Batman blockbusters, The Crow, Men in Black, and a couple of others found plenty of favor, but the rest of the ’90s were littered with a litany of disappointments and flops that included The…

AmazonIf you're looking for a new tablet for yourself or a device suitable for students going back to school, Amazon has a deal you will not want to miss. Tablets can be a great go-between for smartphones and laptops. They normally offer larger screens than our handsets and enough power to comfortably run apps that wouldn't work well on small displays -- and vendors have trimmed their design down to make them very portable and suitable for both work and entertainment. When it comes to students, they can use tablets…

Image via MRC When it comes to the enthralling genre of mystery thrillers, it’s safe to say that many people enjoy the ‘whodunit’ aspect of dissecting clues and unraveling unsolved crimes — especially when the ending turns out to be the opposite of what eagle-eyed viewers expected. Which is precisely why Rian Johnson’s Knives Out was received so well by critics and altered the landscape as one of the most thought-provoking and eye-opening films in its genre. The action-packed extravaganza grossed over $300…
