Walt Disney Animation Studios has created some of the most beloved animated films in movie history. With sixty titles currently to their credit (their sixty-first, titled Strange World, is due out on November 23, 2022), these films feature some of the most memorable characters ever put to film. However, the recent Disney films, while still giving us the memorable characters, memorable songs, and top-tier animation we’ve come to expect from them, have been sorely lacking in one area: the villains....

“One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness," wrote Harold Pinter in his book Various Voices. This has been the modus operandi for a whole host of plays and films which take place in one setting and with just a handful of characters, sometimes called bottle movies or just one-act plays. Who Invited Them is a new horror comedy addition to this fine lineage of dialogue-heavy psychological dramas, though it isn’t exactly scary, and it’s not very funny....

From one major horror franchise to another, Halloween Ends helmer David Gordon Green will very soon start work as the director of a new sequel to The Exorcist. In a way that’s reminiscent of Jamie Lee Curtis coming back for a new series of Halloween films under the direction of Green, the new Exorcist movie also sees the return of original star Ellen Burstyn.

USA Network and Blumhouse have revealed the first teaser trailer for The Purge season 2. The highly successful horror movie series was brought to the small screen for the first time last year. That went well enough to earn another season, but this time around, it isn’t going to be business as usual. Instead, we’re going to finally see what comes of all this violence the rest of the year. Can people really just go back to being neighbors and friends with those who have the capacity to kill?...

Characters that have been stalwart allies were put in ridiculous situations. “The Obliged” was disappointing from start to finish. Whatever hope fandom had for Rick’s exit vanishes like a fart in the wind. Michonne (Danai Gurira) wakes up beside Rick (Andrew Lincoln). She takes care of Judith, inspects Alexandria’s crops, then works on the new charter....
