One of the most anticipated films currently in the pipeline is absolutelyAnnihilation. Not only is it the second directorial effort fromEx MachinafilmmakerAlex Garland, it’s based on a novel byJeff Vandermeerthat is as haunting as it is compelling—and boy is it compelling. The story follows the expedition of four women who are sent into the mysterious “Area X”, a portion of land in the United States that has been secretly quarantined due to abnormal activity....

Michael J. Bassettand the rest of the team behindAsh vs. Evil Deadhave done it again. “Books from Beyond” continues to uphold the style, tone and sky-high entertainment value set during the pilot episode but, like “Bait,” it also takes the show one step further. Whereas “Bait” broadened the series by adding an unexpected layer of heart to the mayhem, “Books from Beyond” does so by expanding the mythology. Episode 3 opens with Ruby zipping down the road to the tune of Verdi’s “Requiem, Dies irae....

InCargo,Martin Freemanstars as a conflicted man facing down a zombie apocalypse. That may sound similar to something you’ve seen before, be it in shows likeThe Walking DeadorWorld War Z, but the differences here are all-important. For starters, Freeman’s character Andy is a father of a young baby girl, and since he soon becomes infected by the very devils he’s been avoiding, his quest is not to survive his fate at all, but to provide for his infant child....

When Marvel first started dipping its toe in to TV, the results were less than stellar.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.got off to a shaky start, and while that show has settled and found a devoted fanbase, it never was able to continually link up with the movies due to the vast differences in production schedules and oversight. The same problem followedAgent Carteras well as the Netflix Marvel series, all of which have now been canceled....

The 2018 Emmy Awards are here! In this Peak TV era, even an uninspired year of nominees still means that there are plenty of great shows and performances and creators being honored. Excellent series likeAtlanta,Barry,The Americans,The Crown, and more boast a host of nominations, although there are enoughsnubs(Counterpart!The Terror!Outlander! to name only a few) to make one wish for a few substitutions elsewhere. Michael CheandColin Jostwill host this year’s ceremony, which will hopefully deliver some solid winners, including what could be history ifSandra Ohwins forKilling Eveas the first Asian American actress to do so for a lead role (Update: It was not to be,Claire Foywon instead forThe Crown)....

Much of “The Law of Inevitability,” the second best episode ofFargo’s exceptional third year, pivoted on negotiations of power. Moving quickly on from accidentally murdering his brother, Emmit arrived at a business dinner with Sy and their potential new business partner (Mary McDonnell) with renewed vigor that came off as chilling. What he took away from murdering his brother was a feeling of importance and a warped sovereignty from the shackles of niceties and morality....

Quick Links In a world currently dominated by a variety of comic book adaptations ranging from the immensely successfulMarvel Cinematic Universeto excellent television series such as Prime Video’sThe BoysandInvincible, 1994’sThe Crow(based on the graphic novel of the same name byJames O’Barr) tends to go overlooked by many. Despite a strong and passionate fan base for both the film and the original graphic novel, not to mention a plethora of sequels (the first of which,The Crow: City of Angels, being theatrically released),Alex Proyas' gothic action thriller never quite got its due, falling further into obscurity with every new comic book movie that releases....

TheITtrain is rolling right along!

The adaptation became not only the highest-grossingStephen Kingmovie of all time, but the highest grossing R-rated horror movie, among a host of other box office records during its run. So, yeah, it was a pretty safe bet that the studio was going to get the wheels turning on the sequel sooner than later....

We’re just about 10 days out from the premiere of Netflix’s latest Marvel adaptation,Jessica Jones, which starsBreaking BadbreakoutKrysten Ritteras the titular (ex-) superhero with tremendous strength and durability. As early reports of the show’s pilots have teased, the show is possibly the darkest take on a Marvel property to date, with only Netflix’s excellentDaredevilseries even being worthy of such descriptions. As the latest trailer for the series, which you can take a look at below, suggests, the fight between Jessica Jones and her nemesis, Kilgrave, played by formerDoctor WhostarDavid Tennant, is symbolic of the battle between the physical and the mental, an idea that is rooted in the horror genre as much as action series....
