Good Luck Trying To See Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ in Theaters This Weekend
The fact that Frankenstein is hitting theaters before it arrives on Netflix is no doubt due to Guillermo del Toro’s strong desire for his dream project to have a theatrical experience. It also helps that movies must have a theatrical run to qualify for award season. The latter is one reason Netflix’s surprise hit KPop […]
You Have to Watch David Harbour’s Weird ‘Frankenstein’ Mockumentary
You might be surprised by this unexpected crossover between Stranger Things and Frankenstein that you never realized you needed.

Squid Game season three was a disappointment for fans, bringing the smash hit series to an end that was neither satisfying nor cathartic… but did feature a slap-happy Cate Blanchett cameo.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Is Sticking With Animation
Disney recently revived its lucrative scheme to make live-action versions of all its animated hits—the tepid reaction to Snow White was all but forgotten with the raging success of Lilo & Stitch, and Tangled (possibly starring Scarlett Johansson in the villain role) is back on.

‘The Summer Hikaru Died’ Is Easily the Best Horror Anime in Ages
One would assume that horror and anime, two media seemingly tailor-made for each other, would consistently produce masterpieces. After all, anime’s visual elasticity and horror’s emotional extremity should be a match made in heaven. Yet, more often than not, their union exposes mutual blind spots rather than shared strengths.
