With most of Hollywood’s tentpole productions mining whatever decades-old IP they can get their hands on, it’s pretty rare for a completely original property to exist at all, let alone to build out a world so enticing that you want to come back for another round the moment it’s over. Perhaps that’s why Gunpowder Milkshake […] More
Two men at very different stages in their careers, Steve Buscemi and Daniel Radcliffe converge in wonderful fashion in the TBS comedy series Miracle Workers.

Turning a 148-tweet thread from Twitter into a feature film is a heck of a way to make your first go at writing a screenplay for the big screen, and Jeremy O. Harris has never been one to play it safe. The award-winning playwright behind Slave Play was more than up to tackling the story of Aziah “Zola” King, whose […] More

The score for any genre of film or television is important, but it’s perhaps never more important than in the world of horror. That’s certainly true for AppleTV+’s series Servant, from the minds of Tony Basgallop and M. Night Shyamalan. In this moody, one-location thrill ride, the music plays such a major part in informing the audience of the […] More
Vampirism, as with many staples of the horror genre, has been used throughout the decades as a metaphor for a great number of things. We’ve seen it represent romance and seduction (any Dracula movie), the pains of childhood isolation (Let The Right One In), and the struggle of addiction (The Addiction, aptly titled).
