The Endless Quest for Online Validation in ‘Spree’ & ‘Superhost’ [Double Trouble]
Social media is a cursed necessity of modern life. The hunt for likes, RTs, comments, and shares is never-ending. Most days, it feels as though you’re just circling the drain and waiting for that next dopamine fix. The crushing weight to constantly level-up in the online world is insurmountable and forces users to push their own psychological and emotional limits to get a bigger payback in virtual currency. Eugene Kotlyarenko’s Spree and Brandon Christensen’s Superhost play in extremes, both films delving into the world of online streamers and YouTube content creators. “We’re all kind of sad, pathetic, and desperate regardless of what side of the ideological spectrum we’re on,” commented Kotlyarenko in an interview. He later noted his film as “anti-ideological” in … [Read More...]

The Many Horrors in 30 Years of the ‘Wolfenstein’ Franchise [Safe Room Podcast]
Where would we be without Wolfenstein? In every genre, there is a game that becomes synonymous with it, and with the first-person shooter space, that game is Wolfenstein 3D. Not only the blueprint for decades of corridor exploring FPS titles but serves as a timeless example of just how malleable the horror genre could be. In addition to the gratifying experience of slaughtering endless hordes of nazi scum, Wolfenstein’s horror influences have allowed the franchise to continually redefine itself over the years. By emphasizing real-world horrors through equally hellish supernatural or nazi abomination foes, Wolfenstein is a series that seemingly cannot lose steam no matter the era it is being set in. Who could have ever foreseen Wolfenstein’s evolution from roaming the colorful halls of … [Read More...]

Rory Kinnear and Paapa Essiedu star alongside Buckley. The film marks Garland’s first foray into full-blown horror that “coils with mounting pressure, increasing in scares and intensity until it explodes in an insane, jaw-dropping third act that veers into Grand Guignol.“ Ahead of the film’s release, Bloody Disgusting participated in a roundtable chat with Garland, where he discussed the surprising influences on his folk horror movie. It was revealed that the filmmaker completely rewrote a significant horror sequence after watching a popular anime. Garland explained, “That … [Read More...]

Last month, Remedy announced that they were going ahead with Rockstar Games to remake the first two Max Payne games. And now, Rockstar in turn are remaking the soundtrack to Max Payne 3 as part of the game’s 10th anniversary.

RoboCop Enters ‘Fortnite’ With New Skin; Datamining Reveals Potential ‘DOOM’ and ‘Jurassic World’ Crossovers
While he’s not quite for a dollar, RoboCop is the latest pop culture icon to make the jump to Fortnite. The skin is available as part of the Season 2 content for Chapter 3, which according to dataminers, is just the start of multiple crossovers. Robo is available now from the Fortnite Item Shop as part of the RoboCop Bundle. The skin features the LEG-209 (which is really the leg of ED-209) as Back Bling, but also does double duty as a pickaxe. Rounding out the package is a Lil’ ED-209 emote, where Robo jumps on and rides an mini ED-209. Sadly, we don’t get the Auto 9 pistol or data spike. But given what we know Robo has done with those, it’s probably best to … [Read More...]

‘Diary of Pamela Voorhees’ – ‘Jason Lives’ Director Reveals His New ‘Friday the 13th’ Screenplay [Exclusive]
The writer and director Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Tom McLoughlin is a huge fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, so much so that he’s been hungry for many years to get a new Friday project off the ground. Of course, the franchise is shackled at the bottom of a lake due to legal issues at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped McLoughlin from writing scripts. As you may recall, McLoughlin chatted with us back in 2020 about his concept for Jason Never Dies, a screenplay for a direct sequel to Jason Lives that he recently put together. Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal that Tom McLoughlin has also come up with an entirely different screenplay for a Friday project, this one titled Diary … [Read More...]
‘Firestarter’ Review – Modern Reimagining of Stephen King’s Novel Fails to Ignite
Bloody Disgusting’s Firestarter review is spoiler-free. The Stephen King renaissance continues with a modern adaptation of his 1980 novel, Firestarter. Considering the lackluster response to the 1984 adaptation, it’s likely long overdue. But the real question is whether there’s any thematic depth or storytelling to mine amidst superhero cinema’s current oversaturation and popularity. While The Vigil director Keith Thomas does get Firestarter off to an energetic and engaging start, this reimaging ultimately fails to ignite. The exposition of how couple Andy (Zac Efron) and Vicky (Sydney Lemmon) gained supernatural abilities, courtesy of an experiment, gets relayed over the opening credits. One nightmare sequence later, Firestarter jumps a decade ahead, where Andy and Vicky attempt to raise their gifted daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) and … [Read More...]
‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Sequel Reunites ‘The Guest’ Star Dan Stevens with Director Adam Wingard
Add one more reason to keep hope alive for a sequel to Adam Wingard’s The Guest: actor Dan Stevens will join the director for the sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong. Per Deadline, Stevens is set to star as the lead of the next feature film installment of the Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise, a direct follow up to 2020’s Godzilla vs. Kong. The actor previously teamed up with Wingard on 2014’s horror thriller The Guest, where he proved his action hero mettle as the eponymous character. Stevens should more than hold his own against the larger-than-life titans. Plot details, of course, remain under wraps for now. The final moments of Godzilla vs. Kong suggested that we could soon be seeing the continuing adventures … [Read More...]
