The third season of Starz’ series Ash vs. Evil Dead, based on Sam Raimi’s cult classic The Evil Dead and its sequels, has brought nothing but bad news for the franchise. While the episodes continue to be critical successes, the ratings are another story entirely. And, unfortunately for the show, they continue to spiral downward. The latest episode reached a mere 136,000 viewers, the lowest number the series has ever seen. While this doesn’t quite signal the end for the series, it’s still a very important time to prove its worth. In fact, Bruce Campbell explained this during the New…

The latest Dwayne Johnson movie Rampage has finally hit, and it has one thing in common with one of Johnson’s earlier films. They both happen to be video game adaptations. Unfortunately the other film happens to be 2005’s DOOM; a lackluster attempt at loosely adapting the iconic game franchise with the same name. While DOOM will forever be remembered as one of the worst video game adaptations of all time, it’s actually not alone in being hated. A lot of the time game adaptations fail to receive any kind of critical or fan acclaim, and given how Rampage is doing…

3 From Hell, the latest entry in Rob Zombie’s most iconic franchise which started with House of 1000 Corpses, is finally in the can. It seems like the movie really hit the fast track when it was first rumored to be in the works, and throughout all the casting announcements each one seemed like a dream come true.

Everyone seems to be caught up in the hype for IT and its upcoming sequel, both of which are adaptations of Stephen King’s iconic story. As such, everyone seems to be referencing Pennywise and his horrific story in all forms of pop culture. This applies to the video game industry as well, seeing how Ubisoft referenced IT in Far Cry 5. As of right now, there are only two known Easter eggs; both of which hint at Pennywise with his trademark red balloon and the sense that something dark and evil is going on behind the scenes. Probably a legit…
