The Alien franchise has had a major effect on modern pop culture over the decades. After several film sequels, prequels, crossovers with the Predator franchise, and works in other mediums like books, comics, and video games – it’s inarguably one of the biggest film series in history. And while we await whatever Fox/Disney has in store for the future of the Alien franchise, it’s still incredibly relevant with pop culture. For example, the drama club at North Bergen High School has become a viral sensation online for producing a play based on the original 1979 Alien film. Check it out…

The Collector and The Collection were easily two of the coolest installments to be in a modern slasher franchise. While The Collection was easily a decent expansion on the original film and left itself open-ended enough for another sequel – it seemingly never came. This changes now, however, as The Collector 3 has finally been officially announced and confirmed by franchise actor Josh Stewart. The actor took to Twitter in order to spread the news, which he captioned with a simple yet effective tagline: “Lock the door.” If that’s not exciting enough, he included a new poster for the film…

Director Jon Knautz has already made a variety of unique horror films, the first of which was notably Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer which even starred genre icon Robert Englund as the primary antagonist. While Jack Brooks was a more comedic love letter to the cheesier entries in the horror genre, Knautz’ latest film looks to be nothing short of horrifying. His next film – The Cleaning Lady – looks like it’ll be taking a more psychological edge and really get into the audience’s heads. I can’t help but be reminded of the trailer for Hereditary, and while that may just…

The current two installments of the Jurassic World trilogy have done a decent job at reviving what was once considered to be a dead franchise. People laughed at the thought of Jurassic Park 4 ever becoming a reality, and now we’re already seeing steady development on a Jurassic Park 6 otherwise known as Jurassic World 3. How times have changed. While the Jurassic Park franchise continues to expand and flourish with these new Jurassic World films, there are a few issues fans have had with the series. Although the new movies remain connected with the original three installments, they seem…

The long-anticipated upcoming Masters of the Universe film adaptation has continually gone through various stages of development.

The film has been gaining additional hype ever since early April when CinemaCon aired a special teaser for the movie.

It’s already time for the next installment in the mega hit Conjuring franchise, this time a sequel to the previous two Annabelle spin-offs titled Annabelle Comes Home. The movie will also mark a direct return from Vera Farmiga’s Lorraine Warren and Patrick Wilson’s Ed Warren from the main Conjuring series. Now Entertainment Weekly has unveiled an all-new look at Vera Farmiga as Lorraine, and it’s an extremely exciting picture for fans of the character. It shows Lorraine holding the Annabelle doll in what should likely be a very suspenseful and climactic moment in the final movie. Check out the picture…

The latest installment in the lives of Rob Zombie’s deranged Firefly family is quickly coming together after a long 14 year wait. The new sequel to his 2005 film The Devil’s Rejects will see Captain Spaulding, Otis Driftwood, and Baby Firefly once again indulge in a nightmarish killing spree – this time under the title 3 From Hell. The movie was already rated R by the MPAA for “strong sadistic violence, language throughout, sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use.” And if that wasn’t a sure enough sign of its imminent release, Rob Zombie has confirmed the film should be…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is widely known for its endless easter eggs and connections to other Marvel superheroes, films, and comic book stories. Avengers: Endgame is no different, and the film actually features a really cool nod to the Robert Downey Jr. film Iron Man 3. There are obvious spoilers ahead, if you haven’t seen the film, leave now. At the end of Avengers: Endgame, there’s a sequence where various groups of Marvel characters are shown off standing together – and while some stand apart, for example Captain Marvel, there is one that is rather noticeable. It’s a young man…
