Among their contemporaries, Aborted not only stands as one of the

The Temptations brand is back at it this Halloween season with a set of commercials promoting their new cat treat flavor called “Tasty Human.” Yes. Tasty.

It’s already been an insanely packed year for genre offerings, and the Halloween season is about to compound that tenfold with some major anticipated releases still on the horizon.

Underseen on Netflix is the Senegalese series Sakho & Mangane, a stylish crime procedural with a supernatural twist.

There’s been a Left 4 Dead-shaped hole in gaming for too long, and while there have been some attempts to fill it (World War Z and Aliens: Fireteam Elite for example), nothing has really come close to capturing that spirit. So who better to take a shot than a developer that had a hand in

Nicolas Cage described Prisoners of the Ghostland as “the wildest movie I’ve ever made.” Considering the actor’s list of genre credits, that’s an instant eyebrow-raising statement, and the plot description seems to back up that claim.
