Evil Season 2 Episode 2 Evil season 2, episode 2, “A Is for Angel,” finds a new twist in the series’ main thrust. It is a monster-of-the-week installment which may result in an exorcism, but this time the intruding influence is not demonic. Raymond (Brandon J. Dirden), a parishioner at St. Johns, is possessed by an angel, or so he claims. On the surface, it may appear the presence may not be as malignant as a servant of Satan, but it is equally diabolical....

Evil Season 2 Episode 3 Evil season 2, episode 3, “F Is for Fire,” begins at its hottest point. Dr Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) is having trouble sleeping, but she’s not being kept awake by some demonic force. Her husband has been off on some mountain climbing expedition, and the last time she tapped an axe, it was into the skull of a serial killer. Even forensic psychologists have needs, and when they do, sometimes the only cure is a nocturnal mission....

Playing with late ‘70s and early ‘80s stalk and slash traditions, the movie is most clearly influenced by Friday the 13th and provides an origin story for a masked killer similar to Jason Voorhees. But just like Fear Street Part 1: 1994, the sequel takes pleasure in subverting those tropes and also expanding out the wider mythology of its universe. It’s clever, it’s playful, it’s extremely gory and it’s reminiscent of a more innocent time for the genre....

Fear The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 7 “The Wrong Side of Where You Are Now” essentially starts the way it begins, with an injured John Dorie’s fate hanging in the balance. Will he live? Will he die? Hopefully we’ll find out in next week’s midseason finale. I say hopefully, because former The Walking Dead showrunner Scott M. Gimple (who is now an executive producer on Fear The Walking Dead) has a penchant for teasing out cliffhangers....

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 14 After being sidelined for most of the season, Fear the Walking Dead finally throws one of its best characters into the fray. I’m talking about Alicia, of course, who hasn’t gotten nearly enough screen time lately. So it’s interesting (and refreshing) that “Mother” should lean so heavily into what it means to be Madison Clark’s daughter. The episode continues season 6’s trend of unexpected reunions, and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint....

But towards the end of the trailer, Knuckles taunts Sonic. With audio most likely taken from their big climatic battle, Knuckles insults Sonic with some choice words. “You’re unskilled. Untrained. Unworthy!” Sonic won’t take that lying down. He gets to his feet, rubbing the dirt off his face, and responds with,“You forgot one. Unstoppable.” The Sonic Adventure song “Unknown from M.E.” by Marlon Saunders and Dred Foxx has attained legendary meme status amongst Sonic and casual gaming fans alike....

Whether The Rings of Power finale shatters your expectations or not will largely depend on how knowledgeable you are of Tolkien lore and the ways the series has remixed canon to hide a few secret identities. Even if you saw some of the big twists coming all along, it still feels cathartic to finally have some long-awaited answers for the show’s biggest mysteries. And when the dust finally settles on the first act of this new Middle-earth saga — the Southlands have been turned into Mordor, the Elves have sealed their fate, and the Balrog is awake in Moria — we’re treated to one final Lord of the Rings easter egg as the screen fades to black and the credits roll....

Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Jay Wasley and Billy Tolley will conduct the first-ever paranormal investigation inside the Oklahoma park. “It’s an undertaking like no other for the group, teeming with shocking stories and discoveries, cadaver dogs and undeniable paranormal evidence,” reads the press statement. In this two-hour special, the team examines claims of “tortured spirits believed to lurk in the shadows of a park tainted by tragic events like deadly fires and accidental shootings,” the synopsis reads....

Picking up right where James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad left off, Peacemaker was a profane, hilarious, and brutally violent exploration of the weirder side corners of the DCEU that fleshed out the world of ARGUS and Task Force X. It even brought some new depth to Amanda Waller as a bonus. Like Gunn’s DC movie, Peacemaker wasn’t afraid to revel in some obscure DC Comics references and by implication expand the boundaries of the DCEU (Green Arrow!...

Gotham Season 3, Episode 5 It’s hard to care about characters when they don’t care about anything themselves beyond some abstract, selfish quest for power or justice. This is something that Gothamhas struggled with since its very beginning. It’s also why it’s always been so easy to care about Peguin. Even in his darkest days, he has cared. He cared endlessly about his mother. He cares about Fish. And, now, he cares about Ed....

The shot requires camera operator Ray Stella to creep around the old house (hurriedly redecorated by cast and crew alike earlier that day) with a 70lb Panaglide camera – through the kitchen and up and down the stairs – for take after take. As he does so, other crewmembers are scrambling around behind the scenes, moving lights and equipment out of the shot. For a production with a tight, $325,000 budget and a strict schedule, it’s a time-consuming and daring way of ending the shoot....

When you check out the Metacritic reception for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of Forbidden West, you might notice a discrepancy in opinions. Critics shower praise on the game, and their scores have yet to dip below a 60 out of 100. However, user scores are all over the place. Granted, critics and gamers disagreeing is nothing new, but a suspicious number of Metacritic users have given Forbidden West a bad score — and have reviewed that game and that game only....

According to Deadline, Los Angeles production company Sentient Entertainment has won the rights to mount a new version of the film, which will mark its 20th anniversary next year. The original, directed by Alejandro Amenabar (whose latest film, While at War, premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival), featured Kidman as Grace, a young mother who shelters herself and her two children at a remote, isolated mansion on the British island of Jersey during World War II....

It could be a book, a film, a tv show, a snatched glimpse of something you shouldn’t have seen when you were too young to understand it. We all start somewhere. Horror fans – let us know your origins stories in the comments! “At the age of 15, I went with a friend of mine to see a horror movie called Psycho, which was in a double bill with George Pal’s War of the Worlds....

For the lords and ladies of Westeros, marriage is as much a political contract as a social one. At least that’s how it’s presented to the highborn women of the realm, who time and again we’ve seen traded like bargaining chips: Sansa to Joffrey in Game of Thrones, then to Tyrion and finally Ramsay Bolton (gag). Margaery Tyrell to Joffrey next, and then his younger brother Tommen when that didn’t work out....

“It was incredibly successful in America, much to my surprise,” Croupier director Mike Hodges tells Den of Geek now. “There were hardly any advertising campaigns, so it was one of those delightful things where it was totally on word of mouth. It went from 17 cinemas to 300 or something. I wouldn’t call it a blockbuster, but it did very well at the box office.” Indeed, Croupier only cost £3m to make and grossed over $7m globally after glowing reviews garnered it attention outside of the UK....

Messy women don’t often get the benefit of the doubt in culture, popular or otherwise. We’re scorned, doubted, and belittled. Asked to stay quiet, to do the emotional labor for boys and men, and to give our own socialized performance of perfection while we do so. Wynonna Earp doesn’t just make space for the messiness of women; it revels in it. It celebrates it. It has fun with it. Too often, when discussing the need for better representation and inclusivity in our pop culture, we’re given a false binary: that something can either be “politically correct” or it can be fun....

Up-and-coming British writers Namsi Khan, Francesca Gardiner, Sarah Quintrell, and Lydia Adetunji joined Thorne in writing Season 2 of His Dark Materials, and in the monumental process of adapting The Subtle Knife from book to screen. “They really did bring scope and challenged us in really interesting ways,” Thorne said during a BBC press junket of the additional Season 2 writers last month. Thorne used the specific example of the writing of the witch plot line....

Molina is making a monumental comeback in No Way Home from a memorable, emotionally-potent performance—one that’s now two franchises ago—as Dr. Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Doctor Octopus, for director Sam Raimi in 2004’s Spider-Man 2. Of course, that was nearly two decades ago, and production techniques have obviously progressed since cameras rolled for that film. Case in point, the evil-influenced robotic arms accidentally fused to the spine of the well-meaning nuclear scientist-turned-supervillain were, out of necessity, brought to life with puppeteers dedicated to controlling each individual tentacle and claw....

Elodie Hawthorne, a comic book character who is the apocalypse-estranged daughter of the TV show-departed Michonne Hawthorne, is coming (well, a version of her is coming) to The Walking Dead Season 11. While no casting has been revealed, the character’s presence is implied in the new teaser’s blink-and-you-miss-it flash of a storefront window from the character’s comic-inspired bakery, which indicatively brandishes the business’s name of “Elodie’s Treats.” The logo was just one of many things showcased in a montage of ominous imagery of the militarily and economically powerful group called the Commonwealth—indicating that Elodie’s shop is firmly located in that community....
