In her fearless directorial debut, Zoë Kravitz crafts a tense thriller in Blink Twice, inviting audiences into a world where power dynamics teeter precariously on the edge of chaos. Drawing thematic inspiration from films like Get Out, Midsommar, and Hereditary, Kravitz weaves an unsettling  ...

As a Gen-Xer back in the 80s, now looking back some 40+ years, we really were spoiled for choice in any genre of film you may wish to name.

John Locke from Lost, Admiral Pressman from Star Trek, the benevolent pacifist Alex McSween from Young Guns.

It's time, my friends, time for all of us - the hardworking people of the world - to spend $30 and return to the haunted woods of our youth. Don't worry, though, you won't be in this forest alone. Here, there is a camp, and at that camp, you are never alone . . . for long ...

“You underestimate the power of faith.” With 2021’s Dune, Denis Villeneuve set a very high bar for himself. Delivering the perfect amount of exposition that managed to feel epic yet extremely personal but never overwhelming, the first installment that introduced audiences ...
