By Ben Pearson/Nov. 20, 2018 1:29 pm EST From the moment Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn appeared in the first trailer for 2016’s Suicide Squad, it was clear Robbie was a perfect fit for the character. She’s one of the few brights spots in that total mess of a movie, so it’s no surprise Warner Bros. is bringing her back in Birds of Prey, a female-centric spin-off movie that sees Harley Quinn team up with characters like Black Canary and Huntress....

Ganja & Hess Now Streaming on ShudderRelease date: 1973Director: Bill GunnCast: Duane Jones, Marlene Clark, and Bill GunnTo coincide with the debut of their Jordan Peele-produced documentary Horror Noire, Shudder has added this black indie horror classic.

By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 5, 2019 1:30 pm EST In an in-depth interview with The Cut, Tan revealed her next project will be cut from the same cloth as Shirkers, but instead of telling her own story, she’s telling that of writer Elif Batuman. The Turkish American writer published a hit semi-autobiographical 2017 novel that seemed like it would defy adaptation: The Pulitzer Prize finalist is a meandering, stream-of-consciousness epistolary romance that follows Batuman as a cerebral Harvard student falling in love with the titular “idiot” told through a series of emails....

By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 18, 2018 3:05 pm EST We all assumed this would happen, and now it’s official: John Krasinski is writing the Quiet Place sequel.

Back when A Quiet Place 2: A Quieter Place (not the actual title) was first announced, Jim Gianopulos, chairman and CEO of Paramount said that the sequel would be in the hands of “the same group of people that made the first film....

‘The Place Of No Words’ Trailer: Where Do We Go When We Die? By Chris Evangelista/May 4, 2019 10:00 am EST Mark Webber’s The Place of No Words poses a large, unanswerable question: “Where do we go when we die?” The indie drama follows a three-year-old who poses such a question through a fantasy-tinged tryptic, while also dealing real-world troubles. It looks visually inventive and narratively interesting, and could definitely be a smaller film worth looking out for....
