Do you see?! Streaming services have opened a rift in the space-time continuum and taken Event Horizon straight to hell in 4K UHD! In looking through the various Halloween sales I stumbled across Paul W.S. Anderson‘s terrifying 1997 sci-fi splatterfest immediately available for rental or purchase in ultra-high-definition!

SEPTEMBER 1999 developer 98DEMAKE is back again with another project, this time teasing fans with a trailer for 02:32. If the name wasn’t cryptic enough, the trailer asks even more questions than it answers (while still looking cool). Certainly, there’s not a heck of a lot to go on, but the slow overhead crawl down

It seems like more and more live service games get into the spirit of Spooky Season with Halloween-themed content cropping up everywhere, and the juggernaut that is Call of Duty isn’t shy about getting involved this year.

Way back in 2013, indie dev Ragtag Studio had shown off a little game at E3 that year called Ray’s The Dead. Ragtag Studio is the same group of folks behind the cult favourite Stubbs The Zombie, by the way. Well, flash forward to 2020, and the devs have announced that the game is finally

Grief, Satanism and black magic is rife in Anything For Jackson, the Canadian horror film about a pair of grandparents who will quite literally do anything to bring back their deceased grandson. The premise is surprisingly fresh: grieving elderly couple Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Dr. Henry Walsh (Julian Richards) abduct pregnant Shannon Becker (Konstantina Mantelos)

Anyone familiar with my articles will know that I have two primary obsessions. First and foremost, I absolutely adore The Last of Us and wholeheartedly believe that its sequel is the crowning achievement of this console generation. Secondly, I am utterly fascinated by how videogames use readable documents to teach mechanics, influence puzzles, build atmosphere,

It’s been a year since Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds was released on the Epic Games Store, so you know what that means.

One glance is all it takes to know that Frank & Zed is unlike most horror movies you’ve ever seen, if any.

In the wake of a short teaser trailer last weekend, Paul W.S. Anderson shared a sneak peek first look at the massive Great Rathalos from his Monster Hunter during NYCC today. “We wanted to put these creatures on the screen as accurately as possible,” Anderson said during the virtual panel, promising monsters faithful to the Capcom

One of the most exciting things about the upcoming Jurassic World: Dominion, which was unfortunately just pushed to Summer 2022, is that it’s set to reunite Jeff Goldblum‘s Ian Malcolm, Sam Neill’s Alan Grant and Laura Dern’s Ellie Sattler, the original trio from Jurassic Park. Goldblum, of course, already returned to the franchise in Jurassic

The synopsis for Honeydew reads like a horror setup that’s been done countless times over. A couple finds themselves stranded in a backwoods area in need of help, and they wind up at a house in the middle of nowhere inhabited by a deranged family.

Stephen Lang, who returns as the “Blind Man”, tells fans on Twitter that he’s personally wrapped in Belgrade. I’m wrapped!

Werewolves are long overdue for a horror resurgence. The movie monster hasn’t gotten nearly as much of the spotlight as vampires, zombies, or witches.
