Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

Logan is a unique superhero film in a genre littered with PG-13 ratings and endless special effects. The film focuses on characterization and story, not to mention atmosphere, and it seems like plenty of future superhero films will be taking notice. Unfortunately one character, that no doubt deserves this treatment, is likely not going to get it – our beloved Dark Knight. With the way Warner Bros. has been treating their properties, Batman will likely remain PG-13 and stripped from his source material. But what would a Logan-styled Batman film look like? Could it work? Well, We Got This Covered…

Not too long ago, a new theory about the upcoming movie Life came about. The theory came from Reddit and suggested that Life could actually be another movie in disguise. And, what movie is that, you ask? A setup for a Venom film, no less. It could make sense given that Venom is an extraterrestrial monster and Life seems to focus on a similar alien. And there’s actually a few connections that could suggest Life has an ulterior motive – such as the film being produced by Sony, the writers behind it once wrote a script for a Venom film,…

Horror films are reincarnated time and time again. This year alone boasts the terrifying clown film It, a new Alien film, and follow ups to The Ring, Friday the 13th, and Insidious. Each time these stories return to the screen, there is an opportunity to deepen the plot. One of the things that the 2010 A Nightmare on Elm Street tried to do was change up the origin of Freddy Krueger. Instead of being labeled a serial killer, he was made a child molester; and for first-time viewers of the film, it tries to lead you into believing he was…

Fans of the X-Men franchise have recently found it difficult to keep track of the movie series. After all, while X-Men: Apocalypse takes place in the 1980s, there’s the newly-released Logan that takes place in 2029 with a supposedly different timeline. While film producer Simon Kinberg attempted to explain this confusion, he revealed a key detail for the upcoming X-Force film; it’ll star Deadpool and Cable as the leads. It’s been previously teased by the Deadpool 2 writers that the titular character could be crossing into X-Force, and it certainly makes sense. After all, Deadpool and Cable were two long-running…

Although Batman might be putting away his desire to kill for Justice League, it seems like he still has a tendency for guns, as you’ll see in the new official Batmobile photos below. Many fans were disappointed with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice because of how Batman disposed of criminals. He tended to absolutely kill them, which contradicted previous characteristics where he frowned upon any type of murder; even for those who seemingly deserved it. Of course it wasn’t the first time he’s killed villains on the big screen, but fans considered this portrayal for some reason to be…
