Pinhead Pulls New Victims to Hell in Hellraiser: Judgment Trailer
Before Saw, Hellraiser was the ultimate name in torture horror. The Cenobites are back to reclaim their dominance as the most sadistic characters in cinema in a trailer for Hellraiser: Judgment. Pinhead and his minions are stepping up the torture in new cringe worthy masochistic acts.
Effects master Gary J. Tunnicliffe directed the new installment, and it shows. Paul T. Taylor steps into the iconic Pinhead makeup, but the other new creature designs are just as hypnotizing...

Method Man Joins the Cast of the Shaft Reboot
Clifford ‘Method Man’ Smith is really feeling that 1970s vibe. After appearing in David Simon’s fantastic new HBO series The Deuce, set in the early years of the decade, the iconic Wu Tang Clan member and actor (he was fantastic in Keanu, Simon’s groundbreaking The Wire and more) has now been cast in the latest Shaft film.

Black Panther Writer/Director Ryan Coogler on the Film’s Influences & More
While we doing a bit of research before publishing our story on the new Black Panther trailer, we came across this fantastic interview Fandango conducted with writer/director Ryan Coogler. They spoke a day after the news broke that Kendrick Lamar would be producing and curating the film’s soundtrack.
What Fandango points out at the top is something we, and everybody else, has been commenting on for a while—there’s something very special happening with Black Panther...

Marvel Studios had been promising a new Black Panther trailer during last night’s National Championship game, and they delivered in a big way. The new look at writer/director Ryan Coogler’s film includes fresh footage, a thumping new song from Kendrick Lamar and Vince Staples (Lamar is producing and curating the entire soundtrack), and a focus on the battle between Black Panther, now also known as King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Erik Killmonger (Michael B...
Chris Hemsworth Addresses the Uncertain Future of Thor
With Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War on the way this year, it seems like the Marvel Universe will go on forever. Nothing in life is promised, however, and that includes the return of Chris Hemsworth as Thor. As we learned from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, the future is uncertain for many of our favorite superheroes. This is true both from a narrative standpoint and a contractual one, too. Thor: Ragnarok may have been one of the most unexpectedly funny Marvel movies ever,...
What We Learned About Dr. Murry’s Whereabouts in New A Wrinkle in Time Spot
Not only was Oprah the recipient of the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille award and the voice of the people at last night’s Golden Globes, she also starred in a new TV spot for A Wrinkle in Time. Oprah lays out for Meg (Storm Reid) the truth about her missing father and the perilous lengths to which she must go in order to save him.
Previously, we’ve seen Dr. Murry (Chris Pine) stuck in another dimension outside what we know of time and space...
Cecil B. DeMille Honoree Oprah Owns the Night at the Golden Globes
This year #MeToo movement, which led to Time Magazine’s ‘Silence Breakers’, which led to the Golden Globes theme of the night, ‘Time’s Up,’ was given a moment of such overpowering clarity, conviction and brilliance that it will stand the test of time. We are, of course, talking about Oprah Winfrey’s incredible acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille award. We will be talking about it for a long time to come.
When it comes to stars, who has listened more closely and productively to people suffering than Oprah Winfrey?...
Watch Jennifer Lawrence’s Deadly Dance in the First Red Sparrow Trailer
The last time we got a look at Red Sparrow, director Francis Lawrence’s thriller about a brilliant Russian ballerina (Jennifer Lawrence) recruited into Russian intelligence through their ‘Sparrow School,’ we were marveling at how Lawrence dominated the teaser without saying a word. The director and star don’t just share a last name—they have a long history together, working on three of the four Hunger Games films—which probably goes some way to explaining why The Red Sparrow’s teaser was so effective,...
The Perpetual Construction in Winchester Becomes the Perfect Place for Ghosts to Hide
The new trailer for Winchester is a terrifying battle of wills. Sarah Winchester (Helen Mirren) spent years on senseless construction in her California home to ward off spirits. The seven story monstrosity has unused rooms and doors leading nowhere to capture malevolent ghosts. The undead have a good reason for their haunting, as Winchester explains. They’re the victims of the rifles her family built their fortune on.
Sarah Winchester, and the mansion that never ended, actually lived,...
Which Would You Pick in This Deadly Game of Truth or Dare?
Truth or dare, spin the bottle, seven minutes in heaven, and many more are party games we have all grown up on for generations. In the awkward sea of our teenage years, they all seemed pretty scary at the time, but weren’t likely to be deadly. The players in Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare might not be so lucky.
The first trailer for the film lays out a sort of It Follows scenario in which you have to pass along the curse to keep it from coming back for you...
Lock All the Doors Before Watching This Insidious: The Last Key Clip
The holiday rush has come and gone, so what could be better than curling up on a cold day and getting scared out of your mind.

Listen to This Glorious Conversation Between Steven Spielberg and Wonder Woman Director Patty Jenkins

Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham Highlights new Robin Hood Images
There aren’t many actors around capable of playing a villain so transfixing and yet so damn bad you want them to be in every scene and get their comeuppance immediately. Ben Mendelsohn is one of those actors. After making his name playing the almost supernaturally twisted Andrew ‘Pope’ Cody in David Michôd’s vicious Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom, Mendelsohn has been on Hollywood’s shortlist as one of the best actors in the world at being bad...
The Strange Ones Directors Play With Your Perceptions
Christopher Radcliff and Lauren Wolkstein’s feature-length debut The Strange Ones is a slow burning, twisted coming-of-age story co-starring Alex Pettyfer and 14 year old James Freedson-Jackson, who won SXSW’s Special Jury Prize for breakthrough performance. He’s immensely deserving of the accolade, delivering a performance of almost unnerving poise for a 14-year-old actor. The film had begun its life as a short six years ago, but patience is a virtue in the filmmaking game, and now The Strange Ones is being released in select theaters tomorrow,...

Fans of the Cloverfield series will have to wait a little longer for the third installment. The untitled sequel was slated for a February 2 release that is now set for April 20, Deadline reports.
With the previous release date only four weeks away and no official title for the film, the turnaround was getting tight. The series has a built-in fan base, but studios usually take more than a few weeks to promote a release...
Early Star Wars: Episode IX Clues Suggest There’s More to Learn About Rey’s Parents
Now that the long wait for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has ended and our curiosity over Luke and Snoke has been satisfied, there’s only one logical thing to do next. Begin obsessing over every hint, detail, and rumor about Episode IX. The far, far away galaxy where Star Wars takes place is home to extremely diverse landscape, from Tatooine, filmed in Tunisia, and Hoth, filmed in Norway, while Skelling Michael in Ireland was the stand in for Luke’s remote hideout of Ahch-To in The Last Jedi...
After Nearly Six Decades, Women Rule the Box Office Again
The names Elizabeth Taylor, Rosalind Russell and Mitzi Gaynor call to mind legendary performances, but an era of Hollywood decades in the past. Fifty-nine years to be exact. These leading ladies were the last women to star in the highest grossing domestic films of the year, until now. The top three films of 2017 all had female headliners, and they were damn good movies too.
Emma Watson kicked off the female dominated box office with her role as Belle in Beauty and the Beast raking in $504 million among American audiences...
