Fri, 29 May 2026 17:04:03 -0500

Terrifier's Damien Leone is stepping into the Hollywood studio system for his next original horror project. THR reported first today that Leone will write, direct and produce Tortures of the Damned for Lionsgate. Horror icon Sam Raimi will produce with Rob Tapert through their Ghost House. With the Terrifier series Leone must have put himself on the radar of every studio out there, especially since each subsequent Terrifier was like printing money for the producers.

Someone like Lionsgate, who has had some significant misses in recent years needs some of that Leone-magic and brand recognition to refill their coffers. Details on Tortures of the Damned are skint.

The protagonist, Beom-seok (Hwang Jung-min), is the local police chief. Not long after local hunters show him traces of an unknown monster, he discovers that the entire town is already being torn apart by the mysterious creature. Alongside him are rookie police officer Sung-ae (Jung Ho-yeon) and Beom-seok’s nephew Sung-ki (Zo In-sung), one of the hunters who joins the fight to defend the town from what is eventually revealed to be an alien invasion.

Hey Canada! Watch NFB's GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL Right Now!

Thu, 21 May 2026 10:34:10 -0500

The Canadian National Film Board (NFB) just released Cordell Barker’s darkly whimsical animated 2025 short film on the Artificial Intelligence debate for free on its streaming platform. Good Luck To You All plays like an inversion of Pixar's Wall-E mixed with The Iron Giant. A little girl plays with her toys (both casually and roughly). In the background, a television visualizes out her thoughts on 'robot friends' in real time via news excerpts and fantasy. It is a visually complex and kinetic eight minutes, which crams a lot of ideas and narrative into a tight and clever package. It is also in the fine tradition of the NFB offering a platform for philosophical, and even a bit nihilistic, explorations into human nature. I often recommend John Weldon's NFB short To Be,...
