Maybe you’ve heard of The Asylum. They’re a company known for making “mockbusters.” “What’s a mockbuster?” you ask? Well, that’s easy. It’s like a blockbuster film, but not. It has a similar name and a similar story, but with a much worse plot, budget, and actors. The Asylum has made a name for itself by pumping out these movies over the years. We’ve previously asked ourselves, “What could be worse than this?” How about The Odyssey but with AI generation? Filmmakers With AI Ash and Pooya Koosha are brothers who use AI to make feature-length films. They’ve already made one…

The recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis is not a laughing matter to people who have caught it. The Cyclospora parasite has been infecting thousands of people across multiple states. The intestinal issues it causes are enough to cause serious health problems for those with pre-existing conditions. Even for those who don’t, the amount of explosive diarrhea it causes is enough to make you really hate your life for a while. That didn’t stop the humorous content from happening when Taco Bell got linked to things. We wanted to take a brief, serious look at this, though, to separate the rumors and…

In terms of more recent horror franchises, The Conjuring is possibly the biggest of them. Between the main films in the franchise, you also have Annabelle, The Nun, and their sequels. The main storyline of the films seems to have come to a recent close with 2025’s The Conjuring: Last Rites. But that’s not going to stop the Warrens from being in more films, though. Or at the very least, a young version of themselves. Now we know who’s playing them. The upcoming The Conjuring: First Communion will star Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix. Wareing has been spotted in a…

Believe it or not its been almost four and a half years since The Batman hit theaters. The Matt Reeves-directed version of the Bat starred Robert Pattinson in the titular role. Strong reviews and a tidy box office profit ensured more films would be on the way. That’s still the case, but we’ve been waiting a while. Now we’ve found out we’re going to have to wait even longer. Before today, we were under the impression that The Batman: Part II was going to be swooping into theaters on October 1st, 2027. That’s not the case now. Even that date…

Boy howdy, you wouldn’t believe how complicated copyrights are. For some reason, the world of horror is filled with copyright disputes. We’ve covered legal suits about the mask from Scream and the ownership of Friday the 13th. Even the rights to Tremors was a complicated mess we covered. Compared to all that, the issue around A Nightmare on Elm Street is relatively tame! It still involved a fight for rights, but now the family of the original writer/director has them back. What’s more, they’re planning on using them! The Late Wes Craven It’s been 11 years since the passing of…

The saga of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Middle Earth” will never end. Long after the books were published, movies were made. Then, more movies were made. Now, even more movies are being made by fans and cast members alike. We’ve tried to keep you all abreast of developments. To that end, you may recall there are upcoming Lord of the Rings projects. One being directed by Gollum actor, Andy Serkis. The other being written by Stephen Colbert. Serkis recently opened up a bit about both projects. Hunting for Casting Diversity The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is Serkis’ upcoming…

It’s a sad day for the world. We’ve lost one of our greatest, and perhaps most underrated, actors, Sam Neill. He will be remembered by many, and most children of the ’90s, as Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. That role might be his most iconic. It’s also just a glimpse into the talent of a man who was as skilled in horror as he was in dramatic comedy. Someone who was at home in fantasy settings as much as he was in science fiction. In honor of his passing, we take a look at the work of Sam Neill. Sam…

The passing of Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler is one that resonates heavily with me. Not to start this article off by being personal, but that’s the power of music. For many people, music is a very personal medium. It can empower us, move us to tears, bring us joy, and ease our tensions. Tyler’s biggest song, “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” was a power ballad of the highest caliber. It’s exactly the kind of song that is tailor-made for emotional impact in a big ’80s way. Tyler’s voice brought it to life. But her story is entwined with that of…

If you’re of a certain age, then when you read the headline of this article, you had one thought. “That pretty much sounds like that movie, Super Size Me.” You’d be right, it does sound like that. This looks to be a bit different, though. For starters, Super Size Me was about eating at McDonald’s every day for a month. This is about fried chicken. Not to mention, Super Size Me was SUPER problematic. Let’s take a quick look at what Netflix has cooking. Let’s also take a look back at the late Morgan Spurlock and his documentary. The upcoming…

Losing Rob Reiner was a blow to the stomach that we’re still reeling from. The incredibly talented actor turned director gave us so many wonderful moments on film. It’s his former job as an actor, though, that is giving him one final chance to give us some laughs. More than that, it’s allowing him to take a final dig at Donald Trump from beyond the grave. To top it all off, he’s doing it as George Washington. Rob Reiner Laughs Last Prior to his untimely passing, Reiner had filmed a role for the Larry David series, Life, Larry, and the…
