We’ve mentioned Punch Punk Games’ This is The Zodiac Speaking a couple of times over the past year, but that ever-elusive release date has never been nailed down until now. The game, which is based on the very-real story of The Zodiac Killer in the 1970s, will be arriving on PC via Steam and consoles
Much like what they’ve done with previous entries in Capcom’s classic series, Laced Records has announced that they will be releasing another Resident Evil soundtrack on vinyl in Resident Evil 5. And much like they’ve done with previous entries, they’re going all out. Pre-orders for the triple vinyl release are open now, with the set

For starters, Bethesda and developer Arkane Lyon released a new gameplay trailer for Deathloop dubbed “Two
Time is an illusion. For those who didn’t find what they were looking for with Tenet, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead‘s (Resolution, Spring, V/H/S: Viral, The Endless) sci-fi thriller Synchronic promises to deliver all kinds of insane mind-fuckery that’s all wrapped up in what one critic called a “Lovecraftian nightmare.” As reported last week, Well Go
Sure, the entire live-action Jurassic Park franchise is PG-13, but its sequences of dinosaur thrills and kills might be a bit too intense for younger audiences. Enter Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, a DreamWorks animated spinoff set during the events of Jurassic World. The result is a zippy Netflix series that doesn’t skimp on the thrills and dinosaur fun, yet
Fresh off the Russell Crowe-starring road rage thriller Unhinged, director Derrick Borte has lined up his next project, and Deadline lets us know that it’s another horror-thriller.

Rape and revenge films, by nature, offer one of the most uncomfortable and extreme subgenres of horror. They tend to follow a distinct formula that plays out in three acts; a female character is subjected to brutal degradation and sexual violence then left for dead; she survives and rehabilitates; then she exacts a harrowing vengeance
It was just last year that many horror fans (yours truly included) discovered the French ’80s film Dial Code Santa Claus (aka Deadly Games) thanks to Shudder, and this year we’ll soon be able to own the film on a 4K Ultra HD disc courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome! The company announced their October lineup over
Funcom’s Conan Exiles MMO has been kicking around since 2017, and is set to get a new expansion pack later this week.

*Spoiler warning for Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill: Origins, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and Silent Hill: Downpour* White noise from a dusty television pelts James Sunderland with echoes of a horrific act. Amidst the hissing cacophony of static are muffled screams, formerly tucked away deep in his subconscious. James came to Silent
From its very first scene, director I-Fan Wang’s debut feature crackles with slapstick energy. The Taiwanese zombie comedy opens on a parliamentary session in complete chaos: men and women attack and bite each other, blood spraying everywhere as bystanders panic in the stands above. Among them is Hsiung (Megan Lai), who recounts a quick bit

A terrible year continues to punish as Universal Pictures is no longer releasing Nia DaCosta‘s spiritual Candyman sequel on October 16, 2020, as expected at this point. The film will now release sometime in 2021, with no new date selected at this time. The film, you may recall, was *originally* supposed to hit theaters this

Before the digital age and the internet, as we know it, dating services connected hopefuls through video dating in the early ‘90s. To say it was an awkward form of dating would be a vast understatement. For a fee, you could record a short pitch that summed up who you were and what you wanted

Before he became Negan on “The Walking Dead,” Jeffrey Dean Morgan played the role of John Winchester on “Supernatural,“ the father to main characters Sam and Dean.

With the inaugural season of Lovecraft Country well underway and Color Out of Space now available on Shudder, the Year of Lovecraft remains in full swing. H.P. Lovecraft‘s works tapped into the fear of the unknowable, of horrors vast and incomprehensible. His brand of cosmic horror made humans look so frail and obsolete by comparison. In a present

The upcoming remaster of Shadow Man: Remastered received a new teaser trailer, which finally shows off the game in action (as opposed to just screenshots). We can expect the game to hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC
One of the longest-running jokes in video games is getting the original DOOM to run on unconventional things. We’ve had it on printer displays, watches, cash registers, and microwaves, but the most recent port is perhaps the strangest yet. Finding out you have Hellspawn on a pregnancy test would normally be a bit worrying, but
Back in January, Bethesda gave classic Doom fans a treat with a new update that added a more modern flair to Doom and Doom II, as well as mod support and John Romero’s SIGIL add-on.

Previewed at Toy Fair earlier this year, NECA had been set to release 8″ Jaws figures of both Martin Brody and Quint, with a massive figure of the film’s killer shark also on the way.
