» If you're diving into Netflix's latest Western miniseries, American Primeval, you might find yourself reminded of the 2015 Leonardo DiCaprio film The Revenant. Well, guess what? You wouldn't be wrong. The two share striking similarities and it's not just because American Primeval was penned by the same screenwriter, Mark L. Smith. Both narratives explore survival, hardship, and the relentless pursuit of a goal -- all set against the backdrop of a brutal and unforgiving era. They're dark, gritty tales where protagonists endure unimaginable dangers, reflecting the raw violence of the Western frontier.

» Despite its popularity and cult status, the slasher genre is perhaps the most formulaic of them all. Since the genre's peak in the mid 70s and until today, each slasher movie has stayed true to its original format, without much change in the presentation. Most of these movies usually involves a group of young people on a trip, perhaps to a cabin in the woods, and a serial killer with crazy choices of weapons. There's a lot of screaming and running around and characters making poor decisions that lead to their tragic death.
