While Gaspar Noé has never tackled the horror genre straight on, almost all of his films dabble in it. From Irreversible to Enter the Void, Noé is behind some of the most punishing cinematic experiences I’ve ever had to endure.

If you’re like me, you probably had a joygasm watching that DOOM Eternal gameplay trailer last week. A big highlight for me (and I’m not the only one) is seeing that you can now literally rip and tear demons using the new tech. Or, as creative director Hugo Martin called it, ‘destructible demons’. PCGamer managed […]
Much like all of our favorite horror icons, the genre is so hot that even when a studio does everything wrong, the films find a way to survive.

Now obviously, Bethesda isn’t going to give Quake Champions away for free […]
Three years after debuting cult favorite Turbo Kid at Sundance Film Festival, filmmaking trio RKSS (Francois Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell) returned with their latest feature, Summer of 84, which our own Fred Topel said it “hits the nostalgic sweet spot.” A coming of age thriller that follows a group of teenage friends that […]
With all the hooplah these past couple of days with Red Dead Redemption 2, Blizzard, QuakeCon and the like, it’s easy to miss some stuff. Like how Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown is absolutely free to play this weekend! That’s right, following the addition of South American servers, the PvEvP shooter is having a weekend of freeplay […]
Discerning genre geeks face a weird dilemma when it comes to shark movies: basically, Jaws is one of the best movies ever made (obviously) and the basic concept of “shark vs. people” is of course very appealing to those who like horror, action, or quality b-movies in general.
