The Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally focusing in on its biggest event yet – the conclusion to their initial Avengers series titled Avengers: Endgame. While the movie itself is only three weeks away, Marvel remains tightly-lipped regarding the film’s plot and what fans can expect from its heroes and villains. Despite this, a journalist who would prefer to remain anonymous posted a now-removed tweet on Twitter giving details about a rather dark opening sequence for Endgame. Like we said, the tweet was deleted, but we have the details for you below. Obvious potential spoilers follow. It apparently all starts with…

After the success of Rambo in 2008, I never thought we’d see Sylvester Stallone take on the role again. It was a more unbelievable task than making a sequel to Rambo III was, mostly due to Stallone’s increased age by this point. But the actor has pulled through and somehow managed to shoot the sequel we’ve all been begging to see – Rambo V: Last Blood. It’s a fitting title, don’t you think? As the end of the franchise, I can’t think of a better name. And apparently there’ll be a whole lot more to this finale, according to the…

Many fans felt burned by Terminator: Genisys as well as Terminator Salvation and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The movies seemed to lack any spirit of the original two films – whether it was a lack of key cast members, writers, or original director James Cameron himself to blame – the latest Terminator film in Terminator: Dark Fate is an attempt to rectify those issues. Of course, many fans are still weary after the last few attempts to redirect the series. But Terminator: Dark Fate star Linda Hamilton who returns as Sarah Connor seems to share the same feelings…

The Halloween franchise gradually fell apart after Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Michael Myers became part of various contrived subplots depending on which continuity you followed up until last year’s Halloween sequel. One of the most bizarre and interesting subplots happened throughout films Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and lastly Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. It was considered the Cult of Thorn storyline, and while it drove the Michael Myers story into a corner and forced the producers to conjure up Halloween: 20 Years Later instead, the possibilities…

Unlike the first chapter of Andy Muschietti’s IT adaptation, there’s been very little promotion so far for IT: Chapter 2. Obviously it’s to create hype by making everyone anxious for more – but, sadly, there just isn’t anything out there. Fortunately, we do have a new description of footage that was shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas – and it should be enough to hold you over until a real trailer gets released. Apparently, the event started after director Andy Muschietti walked onstage. He was accompanied by a large number of red balloons, all of which have become an iconic…

The Child’s Play franchise has made a decent comeback in recent years. While Brad Dourif is still starring as the voice of Chucky in the original franchise’s latest direct sequels and upcoming TV series, Orion Pictures decided to recast the actor for their unrelated remake. In fact, they went ahead and gave the iconic killer doll’s voice a massive replacement – none other than the talented Mark Hamill. The Star Wars celebrity is no stranger to voice acting, as he’s provided his voice to the Joker a multitude of times for various animated Batman productions. Now that he’ll be voicing…

If you’re a fan of the killer doll subgenre, then 2019 is going to be the year for you! I’m not sure if it’s because Toy Story 4 is close to release, but now we have three killer doll movies to look forward to. There’s the remake of Child’s Play, another Conjuring spin-off titled Annabelle Comes Home, and the newly titled Brahms: The Boy 2. The news comes from Birth.Movies.Death contributor Scott Wampler who shared details about the film’s upcoming trailer on Twitter. It was screened early for attendees at CinemaCon, and Wampler revealed the title along with an idea…

Stephen King’s novel Pet Sematary has been a massive landmark in the author’s bibliography since its publication. Although he has an endlessly wide variety of horror stories, perhaps none are so personal or philosophical than Pet Sematary. Because of this, his opinion goes a long way, and although the story was previously adapted in 1989 – it’s this new interpretation that fans want to hear his thoughts on. Because we already know the twist that this film makes against its source material – Ellie dies rather than her baby brother Gage – it’s become a huge topic of discussion among…

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the history of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy lately. This is not only due to Netflix’s successful documentary series “Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes” directed by Joe Berlinger, but also Berlinger’s upcoming film on the subject. His movie, titled Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, is taking a unique twist from past Bundy flicks by casting former Disney star Zac Efron in the role of Bundy. As these risky choices with movies would sometimes have it, Efron looks like he’s doing a perfect job at taking on the role of…

Netflix has announced an all-new surprise for horror fans that should continue to make April an exciting part of 2019. Director John Leonetti, who helmed the first Conjuring spin-off Annabelle, as well as the horror movie Wish Upon, is continuing his genre streak with The Silence. As you can see in the official trailer, it looks like an interesting addition to the killer bat sub-genre. Kiernan Shipka, best known for Netflix’s own The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, takes an interesting acting turn as a deaf teenager named Ally. And unfortunately for Ally, she happens to be around in a time…
