The petition is incorrectly directed towards Netflix, not Amazon which is the actual company releasing it. According to the petition which was started…

Avengers: Endgame was released over two months ago, where it quickly became one of the biggest Marvel movies of all time.

But it seems that even they couldn’t always follow the directions created to keep things quiet. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo created the “Thanos demands your silence” campaign as a way to avoid leaking spoilers. It was a rule for cast and crew members to…

The Shining has remained one of the most notable Stephen King novels and adaptations for decades, being quoted, parodied, and loved by horror fans ever since their respective releases.

The Conjuring franchise continues to expand. While Annabelle Comes Home will bring Ed and Lorraine Warren back to the big screen, their next massive outing will be next year when The Conjuring 3 hits theaters.

While James Wan won’t be directing this installment – that honor goes to Michael Chaves – the movie is still shaping up to follow in its predecessors’ spooky footsteps. In fact, Vera Farmiga herself has voiced her excitement with EW now that filming has started. “Conjuring 3…

One of the many series given up on by Fox in recent years was Lucifer. But luckily for the show’s fans, the series was quickly rescued by streaming giant Netflix.

The upcoming Child’s Play remake from Orion has been anticipated by both fans and franchise newcomers alike. If not for the exciting prospect of another Child’s Play movie headed to theaters, then the interesting new possibilities of casting someone else like Mark Hamill to give Chucky a different voice. Although some would say the remake shouldn’t exist, and would argue Don Mancini’s upcoming TV series will be the better route to go, it’s an interesting prospect to see a voice actor like Hamill given the keys to the character. And although previous teasers only gave little snippets of how the…
