» After weeks of building hype, especially with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score before it even opened in cinemas, Weapons arrives with massive expectations. And despite there being only four months left in 2025, many are already calling it the scariest movie of the year.
A blunt slasher

» It has been four years since Netflix released the Fear Street trilogy -- three interconnected slasher films that mixed 80s nostalgia, supernatural lore and time-hopping ambition. The movies came out during a period when anything evoking retro aesthetics, especially the 1980s, like Stranger Things, practically guaranteed success. Though far from perfect, the original Fear Street trilogy had its own pulpy charm, especially in the way it linked three different time periods together into one cohesive and mysterious narrative.

This Gyllenhaal watch can be enjoyed to the end

» Over the past few decades, we have seen Jake Gyllenhaal's massive transformation from being a Hollywood teenage heartthrob into one of the most diverse acting resumes around. Some of his best roles recently, usually revolve around high drama stories or within crime and thriller genres, like David Ayer's cop drama End Of Watch, Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners (2013) or Dan Gilroy's thriller Nightcrawler (2014). In between those years, Gyllenhaal's fun and expressive eyes became less reactive and more serious and grim. The Guilty, a new Netflix drama, feels almost like a continuation of that same persona by Gyllenhaal but with a unique and gripping story about a police officer at a 911 call centre in a high-stakes game against time to stop a kidnapping. It's a remake of the 2018 Danish film of the same name, directed by Antoine Fuqua of Training Day (2001), Brooklyn's Finest (2009) and Southpaw (2015) fame.
Newish twist on a classic tale
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 29/05/2020
» Growing up, we were all familiar with the name of the Brothers Grimm who left us such an astounding legacy of folklore and fairy tales collected and published from the 19th century, like Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty And The Beast, that have been made into hundreds of TV shows and films, animated and otherwise, over the years. However, when we think of fairy tales, we most likely think of cute Disney versions, but the original Grimm fairy tales weren't actually intended for children and are incredibly gruesome in tone.
