For decades, Frank Herbert's "Dune" was considered unadaptable, but despite many attempts, we finally got the definitive adaptation of the author's groundbreaking sci-fi novel with Denis Villeneuve's "Dune: Part Two." Villeneuve's "sequel" is a grand sci-fi epic, a dark film about the dangers of populist leaders, and a film with giant spectacle — and plenty of giant worms. As our own Chris Evangelista put it in his review, "Dune: Part Two" is "one of the bleakest blockbusters ever made."
The film takes place immediately after the events of "Dune: Part One" and follows Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he becomes part of the Fremen on the planet Arrakis, all the while wrestling with his role in the prophecy of the Lisan al Gaib and the destruction that would bring to the universe. It's already a huge hit and will continue to make bank at the box office in the immediate future,...

The Jodie Foster-ssance is officially upon us, folks, and we couldn't be more pleased. It's certainly been a long road to get here. Arguably, the acclaimed actor's most high-profile project in decades came back in 2013, with her villainous turn in Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi movie "Elysium." (Disclaimer: We cannot emphasize enough how much heavy-lifting the word "arguably" is doing in that last sentence.) Other than that, it'd be the understatement of the century to say that Foster has been rather picky about her roles since bursting onto the scene in "Taxi Driver," before going on to redefine the very idea of horror protagonists in "The Silence of the Lambs." That's finally changed in a big way during the last several months, as Foster starred in the awards-hopeful (but somewhat controversial) "Nyad" and also came right out of the gate swinging in 2024 with "True Detective: Night Country."

2023 may have been a complicated year for the film industry, but it was a great year for movies. So, hey: No pressure, 2024.
As we sit here in the January doldrums, we can only look at the months and ahead and hope. Will those massively anticipated sequels live up to the hype? Will the latest releases from bona fide masters be worth the wait? Will everything that is supposed to come out this year actually come out this year? The anticipation is killing us.
This is far from a comprehensive list of every intriguing movie hitting theaters in 2024, but it does represent the titles that have the /Film team's attention already. Naturally, we expect dozens of incredible surprises to emerge from out of nowhere, especially as the film festival season starts to kick off.

Ridley Scott came, he saw, he conquered. The legendary director's "Napoleon" might not be a box office hit in the traditional sense, but it was a generally successful experiment in theatrical releases for Apple. Not only that, it might even prove to be the first of many such releases for the tech giant going forward.
"Napoleon" itself was more of a mixed bag, so far as the theatrical cut is concerned. As Chris Evangelista noted in his review for /Film, the version released in theaters plays like "a CliffsNotes tour through the life of Napoleon Bonaparte," racing through major events in the infamous French emperor and military commander's life at a breakneck speed. As for what it does leave in, well, a lot of it is not only historically inaccurate but -- perhaps more importantly -- it's also just less interesting than what happened in real life.

"The Bear" was one of the big winners of this year's Golden Globes. The acclaimed kitchen drama took home three Globes, including Best Television Series -- Musical or Comedy and Best Actor awards for Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White. The second season also received 13 Emmy nominations.
This shows that audiences, voting members, and critics have all fallen for the series, which follows Carmy, a young chef who leaves an award-winning restaurant to return to his hometown of Chicago to manage his late brother's chaotic sandwich shop. In the second season, Carmy and his crew try to renovate the shop and turn it into a prestigious, award-winning restaurant.
As our own Chris Evangelista wrote in his review, season 2 "takes us along with [it], guiding us through several courses, each more delectable than the last. There's no sophomore slump on this menu."

It's almost Halloween, so of course we here at Scariest Scene Ever have to go back to the Og, the one that started it all, John Carpenter's immortal classic, "Halloween." This might sound like hyperbole, but I firmly believe "Halloween" is a perfect movie, from top to bottom. Carpenter and company were able to conjure up some sort of dark magic with that film, creating the ultimate experience in horror.

Who doesn't love David Fincher? I did not love "Mank." But I still love David Fincher, and I know you do too. However you feel about that last feature, it's been a while since Fincher had a real consensus banger, and that's the kind of film he's known for. Viewers loved his Netflix series "Mindhunter", but hey, that's television, and Fincher only directed seven out of 19 episodes. Could "The Killer" slingshot Fincher back to the top of the American auteur pyramid, knocking the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson, Steven Soderbergh, Gina Prince-Bythewood, or any of his other Gen X competitors off the top spot?
That remains to be seen. But we do have a new trailer for the film, a follow-up of the trailer Netflix released way back at the end of August. There have been more developments than the mere release of a second trailer since then, too. People have seen the movie.

It appears that we here at /Film are in collective agreement: November is the perfect month to catch up on all the spooky season stuff you didn't get around to in October. Great Thanksgiving films are few and far between, and unless you're just really into the winter holidays, it's too early to start diving into your favorite films and series about Christmas, Hanukkah, you name it. Plus, this is also the time of year when studios begin marching out their awards contenders in droves, so you've got to make room for those as well.
Case in point: For years now, November has seen Netflix roll out its first wave of serious Oscar hopefuls, and 2023 will be very much business as usual in that respect. That's not to say it's all prestige offerings and biopics for the next four weeks. For example, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" fans will finally...

If you're afraid of clowns, there's a good chance you have Stephen King to blame. King practically gave birth to the killer clown horror story with his massive tome of terror "It," the story of a small Maine town cursed by a Lovecraftian monster who just happens to be able to take the shape of anything it wants — including a clown. The novel was famously adapted into a miniseries in the '90s, and in 2017, a new version of "It" hit the big screen. Despite some changes — it's set primarily in the '80s instead of the '50s like King's novel, and only has one timeline instead of two as King jumps back and...

How far will a leap of faith take you? Well, after the release of the smash-hit movie "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" back in 2018, animation as a medium received a much-needed and long-overdue boost in respect and credibility, "What's Up Danger" became the anthem of that summer, and general audiences have now been able to join comic nerds in knowing exactly who Miles Morales is and what he's about. In short, the blockbuster changed the game forever and helped set the bar astronomically high for any sequels that would follow in its wake.
Well, fast forward to five years later and we're finally about to see whether "Across the Spider-Verse" can make lightning strike twice.

Breathe easy, Spider-fans. After 2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" came out of nowhere to shatter expectations and breathe new life into superhero movies, audiences anxiously waited to see if and when a sequel would be given the green light and, most importantly, if it could possibly live up to the standard set by the first animated movie. Well, those concerns seem to have been put to rest, if the reactions and reviews for "Across the Spider-Verse" are anything to go by. (You can read /Film's review by Chris Evangelista right here.)
But there's one common element that practically all the early reactions for the highly-anticipated "Spider-Man" movie have gone out of their way to note: it apparently ends on a rather significant cliffhanger. In contrast, "Into the Spider-Verse" told a very self-contained story that wrapped up to satisfaction in less than two hours. As it turns out, however, the filmmakers...

“What We Do in the Shadows” delighted its fans for a continued fourth season last year as the hit vampire comedy reached new heights in terms of critical success and straight-up laugh-out-loud moments.
Jermaine Clement‘s series, adapted from his and Taika Waititi‘s 2014 movie of the same name, follows four vampire roommates living in modern-day New York: Matt Berry‘s Laszlo, Kayvan Novak‘s Nandor, Mark Proksch‘s Colin Robinson, and Natasia Demetriou‘s Nadja. All four comedians have their own style and brand of comedy that combine to create a brilliant show.
As Nadja, Demetriou is the only female lead and takes full advantage of this spotlight — her pitch-perfect accent blending brilliantly with her skills as a physical comedy actress. Demetriou is also, clearly, an intelligent, natural performer — as Nadja, she knows when to ramp it up, when to dial it down, and fulfills the potential of each...

The Who's "Tommy" is one of the most groundbreaking concept albums in rock and roll history, and is considered by many to be one of the best albums ever written. After its debut in 1969, "Tommy" has been adapted in a variety of different mediums, including a ballet, an opera, a restructured work for the London Symphony Orchestra, a Broadway musical, and most notably, the cinematic rock and roll masterpiece by Ken Russell. Four years before directing "Tommy," Russell put out the controversial religious horror erotica, "The Devils," which /Film's Chris Evangelista rightfully described as "a punk rock freakshow disguised as a period piece." Considering the story of "Tommy," Russell was the perfect director for the job.

Everyone's favorite bunch of losers is coming back to the big screen for, by all accounts, one last ride. Rumors that "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" would mark the end of this specific iteration of the team have flown far and wide for months now, lending a sense of finality to the upcoming trilogy-capper as writer/director James Gunn sets his sights on bigger and brighter things ahead: namely, his "Superman" movie for rival DC. But before we get to that, it's worth taking stock of how a group of D-list comic book characters went from near-total obscurity to one of the most beloved additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Now that's beyond a spicy meatball. A whole spicy meatloaf. Meatmountain, even. According to a recent report from Variety, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is expected to cross the $1 billion threshold at the global box office by weekend's end. Two weeks ago, we covered the fact that Nintendo, Illumination Entertainment (the animators behind the "Despicable Me" franchise), and Universal Pictures' adaptation of the iconic video game hit $500 million in a single week, becoming the most profitable video game movie of all time. Just a few days after, we brought you the news that it had already become the biggest movie of the year at the box office. And the hits keep coming -- "The Super Mario Bros.

Before he reimagines DC's on-screen universe, James Gunn is wrapping up his Marvel Cinematic Universe run with "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige may well be hoping the final entry in Gunn's trilogy is enough to rescue the MCU, which seems to be churning out increasingly bland projects at breakneck speed.
But Gunn has always had a certain filmmaking flair that's helped his "Guardians" movies stand out from the pack, infusing his superhero films (and television show) with heart, humor, and a unique visual style. As such, "Vol. 3" is the McU's great hope, and if early reactions from fan screenings are anything to go by, the film might just have succeeded in bringing Feige's cinematic universe back from the brink (unless /Film's Chris Evangelista is right and "Vol. 3" is indeed a rushed and uneven end to the trilogy).

Paramount first restarted their crown jewel horror franchise from original director Wes Craven with last year's "Scream," the annoyingly-titled "requel" movie that brought back the classic trio of Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox's Gale Weathers, and David Arquette's Dewey Riley to join forces with a new and younger cast led by Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding. The immediate and resounding success inevitably put the sequel on the fast track, which premiered earlier this year with similar box office results. Unfortunately, the critical reaction was slightly more mixed this time around, as /Film's Chris Evangelista reviewed "Scream 6" and called it "... the most disappointing entry since 'Scream 3.'"

I saw "Renfield" this weekend — but based on the box office returns, I'm one of the few who did. I understand why, since I didn't enjoy the experience. Why is the movie an action-comedy instead of a horror-comedy? Why is it set in the modern day, especially when the opening teases a "Young Frankenstein" style homage to classic, black-and-white Universal Horror?
To read more about the failings of "Renfield," I'd point to /Film's own review courtesy of Chris Evangelista. And if you want a better action-heavy, modern-day twist on Dracula, I recommend Kouta Hirano's manga "Hellsing" and its anime adaptations ("Hellsing: Ultimate").
Published from 1997 to 2008, the Dracula of "Hellsing" is unrecognizable. He now goes by Alucard, for one, and while still a creature of the night, he hunts his own kind, not ingenues or estate lawyers. Why? Because Alucard serves at the behest of Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing,...

Animation, in general, still doesn't get the respect it deserves, although things are changing for the better on that front thanks to folks like Guillermo del Toro (whose mantra that animation is an artistic medium and not a genre for kids has become a rallying cry among us animation lovers). But it's not just animation itself that's regarded as being inferior to live-action. Voice acting is a form of creative expression that requires just as much specialized skill and practice as live-action acting, if not more so. As we've seen time and time again, big-name stars and A-listers who are relative novices to the animation game are rarely a satisfying substitute for veteran voice actors — and certain roles simply demand the sort of expertise you can only really gain from years of voice-only performances.

On April 16, HBO launches the fourth and final season of its hit comedy series “Barry.” Bill Hader executive produces, directs, writes and stars in the nine-time Emmy-winning show. In the season opener we see Barry Berkman (Hader) call up his acting teacher, Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler), from prison. Even though Gene is responsible for Barry’s arrest, it’s his forgiveness the sociopathic killer seeks first.
Season 4 kicks off with rave reviews, holding fresh at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics’ consensus reads, “What began as a macabre comedy is now close to completely shorn of genuine mirth, but Bill Hader’s masterful indictment of stardom closes the curtain with one hell of an encore.” The ensemble cast includes Anthony Carrigan, Sarah Burns, Sarah Goldberg and Stephen Root. Read our full review round-up below.

In keeping with the "Evil Dead" theme in preparation for "Evil Dead Rise" on April 21, let's return to where it all began. Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead" is an infamous video nasty that started one of horror's most beloved franchises. Between the original trilogy, Fede Álvarez's requel, and "Ash vs Evil Dead," there's something for everyone starting with a low-budget darling that held nothing back. It's grotesque, unbelievably scrappy, and inventive in the face of financial shortcomings. "The Evil Dead" is a miracle, so let's treat it like one.
"The Evil Dead" is Raimi's first and least comedic of the original trilogy. Practical effects can be more traumatizing than blending over-the-top humor and extravagant goriness.

When Nicolas Cage was cast as Dracula in "Renfield," it felt like the universe was finally giving something back to genre fans. The planets had aligned, and one of the most unique actors of his generation was getting the chance to sink his teeth into one of the most iconic horror roles in cinema history. In his review of the film, /Film's Chris Evangelista says that Cage delivers but the movie "can't come close to matching the actor's wacko energy."
Director Chris McKay's action comedy horror hybrid puts the dark lord's faithful, bug-eating servant, Renfield (Nicholas Hoult), in the spotlight this time around to make a loose-fitting legacy sequel to Tod Browning's original 1931 masterpiece starring Bela Lugosi and Dwight Frye. The characters of Dracula and Renfield are embedded in our pop culture lexicon and they've both appeared in countless versions of Bram Stoker's classic tale over the last century.

Universal's had an ... interesting ... time, to say the least, trying to produce movies related to the classic Universal monsters. Nobody can forget (although you should probably try) the disastrous effort to jumpstart a cinematic universe with 2017's Tom Cruise-starring "The Mummy," a movie so dead-on-arrival that it spurred two viral memes: that accidental trailer upload with no actual sound, and the ultimate cart-before-the-horse moment in dubbing the franchise "The Dark Universe" before it was ever actually a sure thing. The studio managed to right the boat somewhat with much more of a standalone approach in the years since, however, between Leigh Whannel's excellent "The Invisible Man" and, to a lesser extent, the upcoming "Renfield" (you can read /Film's review by Chris Evangelista here).
Now, however, it finally seems as if Universal is properly going back to its horror roots with its next effort, "The Last Voyage of the Demeter.

Who would have thought that a small indie Australian film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival would become one of the year's most anticipated horror movies? We certainly didn't, but therein lies the beauty of "Talk to Me," A24's upcoming acquisition that has taken the horror community by storm. Danny and Michael Philippou's genre-bending debut finally has a trailer, and you're gonna want to be sitting down for it.
It can be difficult to combine classic horror tropes with modern sensibilities. However, the way that "Talk to Me" is approaching this combination seems to be pretty interesting. While social media and the "kids these days" mentality is present throughout, it seems to be only one part of a larger, terrifying tale. As we see in the trailer, teenager Mia (Sophie Wilde) is trying to move on from a tragedy thanks to her friends. Unfortunately, when a hot...

This post contains spoilers for "Speak No Evil."
2022 gave us some of the most original horror movies of recent years. Surprise hits like "Barbarian" and "Smile" received considerable recognition and made Disney and Paramount, respectively, a decent profit. But there were a host of innovative and novel horror delights which, though not as popular, pushed the boundaries of the genre in unique and often downright harrowing ways. If it wasn't "Skinamarink" with its liminal trauma nightmare, it was films such as "Speak No Evil" — a movie so upsetting its test screening responses ranged from, "The director has to be mentally examined," to, "This film should not be recommended to human beings."
The idea of a "disturbing movie" has almost become a sub-genre of horror itself. YouTube is littered with videos of TikTok types claiming to have watched "the most disturbing films so you don't have to" or running down a...

This post contains major spoilers for "The Boy," "Brahams: The Boy II," and "Housebound."
M3GAN is the moment, and this weekend, it's her time to shine. If the online chatter about the killer A.I.'s dance moves weren't already an indicator of her oncoming success, the film speaks for itself with genuine suspense and loads of camp. She's rightfully earned herself a place among the best killer dolls in one swift move. With that in mind, it's fun to think of the showdowns that could take place between M3GAN and her cinematic figurine counterparts. From the roster of choices like Annabelle, Billy ("Dead Silence"), and Chucky, let's take a moment to consider how Brahms ("The Boy") would fare.
I'm pitting the two against one another because "M3GAN" director Gerard Johnstone is also responsible for the horror comedy "Housebound." In that film, it's revealed that the hauntings, including a...

Tackling a film in the "Evil Dead" franchise invented by Sam Raimi is no easy task, and the immediate pressure put upon a director for merely making an attempt is undeniable. Fede Álvarez was the first with the 2013 universe-expanding, "Evil Dead." Now, the torch has been passed to Irish filmmaker Lee Cronin, who has written and directed the upcoming "Evil Dead Rise," which takes the lore of the Deadites out of the fated cabin in the woods, and into a Los Angeles apartment. Another new change is the addition of children, as the film focuses on two sisters, one of whom is a single mother of three. It's an adventurous, risky move, but based on the trailer, it looks like it will pay off handsomely.
It takes a very specific type of director to be able to tackle a horror film featuring children, but Cronin is well-equipped to bring the...

Holiday horror has officially moved from the month of October to the chillier air of the Christmas season. Genre fans making their 31 Days of Horror list during Halloween can just as easily come up with 25 scary movies to watch every day in December. This year, Joe Begos and company added "Christmas Bloody Christmas" to the growing pile of Yuletide horror found underneath the VHS tree. Call it "Xmas-ploitation" if you must. In what's essentially a non-stop chase featuring a killer robot Santa (Abraham Benrubi), Begos could have easily delivered a run-of-the-mill slasher without any real visual flair. Instead, "Christmas Bloody Christmas" is a wonder to look at, mostly thanks to cinematographer Brian Sowell's ability to bathe the small town streets in a luminous and ominous trail of lights. In /Film's review, Chris Evangelista said the film has "a style so sharp that it borders on breathtaking," and he's not wrong.

It's "Actors on Actors" season over at Variety, which means every day brings us a new interesting or unlikely sound bite from in-depth conversations between award-season contenders. Among this season's pairings is Eddie Redmayne, who appeared this year in "The Good Nurse," and Ana de Armas, whose performance as Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's "Blonde" has been mostly overshadowed by intense responses to the film's controversial elements. The pair sat down to speak about their work, and along the way, de Armas responded to some of the criticisms of the Nc-17 Netflix film.
De Armas chalks a lot of the response to "Blonde" -- which /Film's Chris Evangelista calls both "a lightning rod for controversy" and "a living monument to the star" -- up to confusion over genre. The film, which features a version of Monroe whose life includes brutal abuse, sexual assault, an abortion, a miscarriage, and a string of otherwise devastating moments,...

Every 1,000 years or so, Adam Sandler seems to develop an itch to go off and make a movie with an auteur director (or directors in the case of the Safdie Brothers), giving rise to such critically-acclaimed films as "Punch-Drunk Love," "The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)," and "Uncut Gems." But as much as we cinephiles like to drag the Sandman for all the disposable movies he makes in-between, that doesn't mean they're devoid of personal meaning to him. No, not even "Grown Ups 2."
Sandler's 2022 offering to the Netflix gods, "Hustle," acts as an olive branch from his Happy Madison Productions label to the fans of his rare high art projects. The movie casts Sandler as Stanley Sugerman, a brusque, bearded scout for the Philadelphia 76ers who's eager to land a desk job and finally get off the road.

(Welcome to Scariest Scene Ever, a column dedicated to the most pulse-pounding moments in horror with your tour guides, horror experts Chris Evangelista and Matt Donato. In this edition, Chris tells you to remember to "Smile.")
"Smile" is the biggest horror movie of the year, box office-wise, and I'll confess I didn't love the film when I first saw it (you can read my less-than-positive review right here!). But after revisiting the film recently I confess that I was a little too hard on "Smile" during my first viewing. Sure, it's not very original. But it's an effective, creepy, and surprisingly nasty studio horror pic with some disturbing gore and a great creature that pops up in the final moments. And it's those final moments we're here to talk about.
Which means spoilers follow.
The Setup
There's a demon and/or supernatural force out there that latches onto you for about a week.

Brian Tyree Henry is an actor who carved his initials into some of Hollywood's biggest stories, including an as yet brief stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an inventive godlike figure in "Eternals." In 2022 alone, he starred in two films that couldn't be more different, Sony's ensemble action comedy "Bullet Train" and the Apple TV+ drama "Causeway," a traumatic story also starring Jennifer Lawrence. In nearly every project that he features, Henry is a noted stand out who goes the extra mile, with our own "Causeway" reviewer Chris Evangelista describing his performance as one varnished in a "warm, looming presence" and brimming with "slow, methodical ... pregnant pauses that seem to say more than the words themselves."
That's why it's funny, almost dissonant, to imagine his abilities blending with anything related to "South Park," and yet, that's exactly what happened back in 2011. Early in Henry's career, the actor took...

(Welcome to Scariest Scene Ever, a column dedicated to the most pulse-pounding moments in horror with your tour guides, horror experts Chris Evangelista and Matt Donato. In this edition, Chris sinks his teeth into "Bram Stoker's Dracula.").
In 1992, Francis Ford Coppola turned to Bram Stoker's immortal vampire novel to create a wild, stylish, erotic fever-dream of a movie. It was unlike any Dracula adaptation before and stuck closer to the book than the iconic Bela Lugosi adaptation. Bloody, operatic, and unapologetically over-the-top, Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was a huge hit.
Coppola's film is big, loud, and loaded with plasma. It also might be the last studio film to use only practical effects — everything, even the dream-like imagery, was created in camera. Critics were mixed at the time of release, but in the years since, it's become accepted by those who know what they're talking about that Coppola's "Dracula" rules.

Have you seen the newest movie about the new Marvel "legend" that's had tongues wagging and blood, uh, dripping since the debut of "Morbius" this past weekend? Reviews haven't exactly reserved the most glowing praise for the Jared Leto-starring Sony movie about the "living vampire" (whatever that means?), particularly /Film's own Chris Evangelista. He pulls absolutely no punches in his review, surveying the wreckage of this woefully misguided comic book movie and reporting the grim details:
Perhaps the most infuriating thing about "Morbius" is how inert it ultimately is. This movie isn't aggressively bad, or bad in a fun, entertaining way. It's just plain...

Miranda July‘s latest film “Kajillionaire” is in theaters now and numerous critics are hailing it as the director’s best work to date. The comedy-drama stars Evan Rachel Wood as a young woman who swindles her way through life alongside her scheming parents, played by Academy Award nominees Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger. One day, they bring in a stranger (Gina Rodriguez), after which things become more complicated. This Focus Features title is available in select theaters on Sept. 25 and will come to VOD on Oct. 16.
“Kajillionaire” currently sits at a positive 79 on Metacritic, besting July’s previous two films, “Me and You and Everyone We Know” (2005) and “The Future” (2011). An impressive 28 of 29 reviews are positive with just one mixed and zero negative.
