It’s impossible to quantify the influence that James Cameron’s Aliens had on the gaming industry. From inspiring enemies in everything from Ecco the Dolphin to Contra and introducing audiences to the concept of sci-fi pulse rifles, it’s amazing how one film almost single-handedly managed to define video game aesthetics for decades to come. Though we’ve

The Hellraiser reboot is stuck in the clutches of Hulu/Disney in the US, meaning we may never see a domestic physical media release. It came out on DVD in the UK back in 2023, but now fans can finally own it in superior quality. The 2022 film will be released on 4K Ultra HD +

That same year, however, a more

Upon reflection, Poltergeist (2015) marks the whimpering deflation of multiple horror genre eras.

With Thanksgiving arriving this week, it seems safe to assume that food, menus, and recipes are on everyone’s mind right now. We’re also giving thanks to horror’s ability to leave no corner unexplored when it comes to frights, and the genre has no shortage of films heavily themed around culinary delights and, especially, frights.
