In 2021, Sony made what, at the time, seemed like a smart business decision and sold the rights to “KPop Demon Hunters” to Netflix. The streamer recently released an animated film based on the property, which quickly turned into a cultural phenomenon. Now Sony and Netflix are in talks about how to approach a sequel.  Between the success of the sing-along version, its soundtrack setting a new Billboard Hot 100 record, and becoming the most-watched English-language film of all time on Netflix, no one is shocked about a sequel. Sony sold the film since it’s a big-budget animated title for…

It’s been almost thirteen years since “Silent Hill” was on the silver screen. Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting just released the first trailer for the franchise’s third live-action film, “Return to Silent Hill.” Like the previous entries, this will be based on Konami’s beloved horror video game franchise of the same name. The new 41-second-long trailer mostly showcases James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine) as he enters the town of Silent Hill. We also see series staple Mary Crane (Hannah Emily Anderson) before a montage of dark corridors and a burning building. All while the characters desperately try to escape the killer, Pyramid…

In 2016, Ruth Ware published the thriller novel “The Woman in Cabin 10.” Now Netflix is adapting the story into a movie starring Keira Knightley as Lo Blacklock, a woman being gaslit into believing she didn’t see what she most certainly did see. “I am not imagining this,” Lo pleads in the brand-new trailer for “The Woman in Cabin 10.” The film and novel center around Lo, a journalist assigned to cover the story of a luxury superyacht’s first voyage. It’s all smooth sailing until Lo sees a woman fall to her death, but for some reason, no one believes…

The soundtrack to “KPop Demon Hunters” has just set a brand new record for the Billboard Hot 100. Netflix’s runaway hit is the first soundtrack to have four songs in the top 10 simultaneously! “Golden” takes the number one spot, along with “Your Idol” sitting at number four, both for the second week in a row. The track “Soda Pop” moved from number 10 to number 5 this week. Newcomer “How it’s Done” climbed its way from the fourteenth spot to the tenth for the first time, setting the record. Only four movie soundtracks have ever come close to this…

In 2000, William Tony Hooper, son of the late horror icon Tobe Hooper, wrote and directed “All American Massacre.” The project was going to be a spin-off of the legendary “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise that his father created. And despite fan demand and being fully completed, it has never had a public screening.  Last week, VHS copies of an unedited workprint turned up on eBay, and quickly sold for $8,500. “All American Massacre” “All American Massacre” revolves around Chop Top (Bill Mosley, pictured above in the center) after he has been incarcerated for years in solitary confinement at a Texas…

In 2016, “Hell House LLC” was released via streaming where it soon gained the attention of found footage horror fans. 10 years later and the franchise’s fifth and final installment, “Hell House LLC: Lineage” just hit theaters. Unfortunately it seems that the series is leaving on a strange and sour note.  Some reports say viewers were walking out of early screenings for “Lineage.” The reviews coming in were apparently so bad that producer and President of Terror Films Releasing, Joe Dain, took to the official “Hell House LLC” Facebook, asking fans to keep bad reviews off Rotten Tomatoes. Despite it…

Law enforcement in Abilene, Texas has made an unusual request for help from the public. They need help to identify a bank robber who wore a Clone Trooper helmet.

Security footage shows them casually strolling in dressed in all black sans the huge white “Star Wars” mask covering their face. They walked out with an undisclosed amount of money. Anyone with information…

In April, Paramount+ announced it would be renewing “Dexter: Original Sin” for a second season. Yesterday, they did whatever the corporate version of yelling “psych!” is, by revoking the order. Like most current issues with Paramount, this confusing decision is being pinned on its recent merger with Skydance.  We know “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are certainly fans of this coperate blending, calling it a “Shitshow.” “Original Sin” debuted in December 2024 and had its series finale in February. Despite the April renewal announcement, nothing had been shot, and no production dates were even scheduled. Which could…

The streamer also put out a new teaser trailer with some extra cool voice cast reveals.  The teaser has the new, but visibly older Sam Fisher (Liev Schreiber) back in action on a mission he describes as “personal.” This will be the first ever adaptation of “Splinter Cell,” which centers around legendary agent Fisher who is drawn back into the field when a wounded young…
