A massive, clunky robot moves alone through a futuristic bunker. A blinking title card tells us it’s been one day since the “extinction event,” and this bunker is home to tens of thousands of human embryos, but no human life. That is until the robot chooses one embryo seemingly at random and incubates it into […]
I’m not sure what, exactly, I expected of Jennifer Kent‘s follow-up to The Babadook – but The Nightingale wasn’t it. A weighty revenge thriller set in, of all things, 1820s Tasmania, it’s a film as complicated and surprising as The Babadook, but in a vastly different setting. Together, these two movies illustrate one immovable truth: […]

A meteor crashes to Earth, emits strange colors in the perimeter around the crash, and begins altering the flora and fauna in bizarre ways that defy Earthbound science. In H.P. Lovecraft’s popular short story “The Colour Out of Space”, the strange alien meteorite affects a farm near the coast with “colour,” indescribable globules of color […]
This past weekend’s January slot continues to be a goldmine for studios with Universal Pictures opening M. Night Shyamalan‘s Glass (read our review) in theaters everywhere. Even with torrid reviews, the film found an audience (its CinemaScore was actually higher than that of Unbreakable!) and matched its predecessor’s weekend opening with an estimated $40.59 million.
