Welcome to Revenge of the Remakes, where columnist Matt Donato takes us on a journey through the world of horror remakes.

Adding insult to injury for Capcom this week is another potential leak for Resident Evil Village, though this one is self-inflicted.

While nothing’s

Obvious statement incoming: 2020 is one giant mess of a year. Nothing about it is normal, including the release slate.

We don’t come bearing any official confirmation on this one but for what it’s worth, Constantine actor Peter Stormare took to Instagram today to tease… Constantine 2?!

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino put his own twist on Dario Argento’s horror classic Suspiria back in 2018, delivering a fresh take on the material that polarized audiences and failed to make a splash at the box office.

Blizzard’s iconic Diablo II hit the big 2-0 earlier this year.
