The influence of horror in Rob Zombie‘s musical endeavors is unmistakable. From homages to German expressionism in Living Dead Girl to The Munsters references in Dragula (not to mention the band name White Zombie, itself borrowed from the homonymous 1933 classic), it was quite clear that the man was a spooky cinephile long before he […]
It’s hard to believe that next year, The Chronicles of Riddick franchise will have turned twenty.

And unlike most video game tie-ins to film/television, the two games that […]
In the vein of A Quiet Place and Bird Box, Netflix’s John R. Leonetti-directed The Silence tells the story of a family attempting to survive a world terrorized by a deadly, primeval species who hunt only with their acute hearing.

Directed by Starry Eyes filmmakers Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, the modern take opened to a strong estimated $25M domestic take on a reported $20M budget. It added another $17.3M internationally for a globally opening of $42.3M. The film needs to top $70M globally in order […]
It’s pretty cool when fans recreate weapons/items from their favourite games, and in this case, it’s pretty damn impressive. For Devil May Cry 5 fans, Rooster Teeth have been able to recreate Dante’s massive Devil Sword from the game, and it’s damn gorgeous. Over on Rooster Teeth’s Master & Apprentice series, Markus and Adam go […]
This post discusses plot elements from the novel and both film adaptations, so obvious spoilers ahead.
