Nightbooks Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
This Nightbooks article contains spoilers. Plenty of scares await Alex (Winslow Fegley) and Yazmin (Lidya Jewtt) when they become trapped in the haunted apartment of the evil witch Natacha (Krysten Ritter) in the Netflix horror movie Nightbooks. he only way they can hope to stay alive is to prove their usefulness to their captor — Yazmin as a house worker and Alex as a storyteller who must write a new scary story for Natacha every single night. At first, we think Alex’s assignment is just for the witch’s amusement. She’s spooky as hell, so why wouldn’t she like a good…

The Walking Dead Season 11: Leah Twist Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This The Walking Dead feature contains spoilers. One of the issues with the collection of bonus bottle episodes rolled out at the end of Season 10 of The Walking Dead is that they were constructed in such a way that they didn’t especially matter to the overall narrative. Sure, they were fun. They had some great character moments to help explain just how our survivors ended up the people they are, and what sort of adventures they might have been up to in between seasons, but they haven’t exactly carried a lot of narrative weight this far in season 11.…

Lucifer Season 6 Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Lucifer Season 6 spoilers. No Netflix resurrections this time, as Lucifer has departed this mortal realm after six terrific seasons. The show’s fans managed to rescue it from cancellation once, and the streaming service stepped up to keep the party going at Lux several times, but we’ve had to say goodbye to Lucifer, Chloe and the rest of our faves for good now. There was a lot going on in the final season, as you might have expected before you even hit play on the first installment. There were certainly plenty of loose ends to tie up…

Marvel’s Loki TV Series and MCU Timeline Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Marvel Cinematic Universe spoilers. It’s been well over two years since the events of Avengers: Endgame, and you’d be forgiven for forgetting exactly what went down during the climax of the Infinity Saga and some of the entries that led to it. There were plenty of Easter eggs and nods to other parts of the MCU in both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame – some of them edging on “blink and you’ll miss it” territory as Marvel Studios sought to wrap up a decade and change of storytelling. Ahead of Loki’s release on Disney+ we’ve been revisiting…

By the end of the film ,she hasn’t yet reached the depths of Disney’s puppy-skinning diva – there’s time yet – but there’s a mid credits scene in Cruella which might hint at what we’ll see next.

Mare of Easttown Ending Explained: Who Killed Erin McMenamin?

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for the Mare of Easttown finale. Mare of Easttown creator Brad Inglesby never wanted the ending of his detective story to come completely out of leftfield (or to use a basketball analogy in honor of the title character: be a half-court heave).  In speaking to Collider in advance of the series (or season?) finale, Inglesby said: “I hope (the) audience trusts that we’ll do right, in terms of the ending. It’s not gonna be one of those endings where it’s like, ‘If you blinked in episode 1, it was that weird guy in the woods,’ or…

A Quiet Place II Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
Contains major spoilers for A Quiet Place Part II. John Krasinski’s follow up to his breakout horror hit A Quiet Place was due to hit cinemas in March last year, before COVID hit and took out the cinemas with it. But now A Quiet Place Part II has finally arrived on the big screen and it’s a noisier, more action-packed offering than the last. Picking up the morning after the first film ended, Evelyn (Emily Blunt), Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and Marcus (Noah Jupe), with the new born baby who they keep in a box, have to abandon their destroyed farmstead…

Cruella Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains Cruella spoilers. Would Emma Stone’s Cruella de Vil skin a dog? That’s the million-dollar question that still hangs over Disney’s demented but otherwise free-spirited Cruella. The movie almost devilishly asks audiences to sit with the idea every time Cruella glances over at her kidnapped Dalmatians. Her voiceover narration may insist that she doesn’t blame the pooches for her mother’s death—back when they were summoned by Emma Thompson’s Baroness to push mama off a cliff—yet Cruella also mentions to herself in the movie that they’d make excellent coats. And at the end of the film, she sends two…

Army of the Dead: Dead Pixels Fiasco Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers. You’ve probably heard by now: Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead is a carnival of horrors. Intelligent zombies known as “alphas” feast on human flesh but also procreate. Las Vegas is overrun by a massive horde of the undead and is walled off, leaving survivors trapped inside. And the heroes might be stuck in a time loop, with the Devil as their master. But for some viewers, even those scares pale in comparison to the movie’s most terrifying moment: the dead pixels on the screen during select scenes that will make you…

Army of the Dead: Time Loop Theory Explained

Netflix, New DVD release,
This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers. It’s the most far-out moment in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead: when Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer) finds the skeletons of another squad of “graverobbers” just outside the casino vault, Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick) asks the young safecracker an ominous question: “Is it another team or is it us, Dieter?” As the camera slowly pans over the corpses, we’re shown captivating evidence that Vanderohe might be on to something (or possibly knows something the rest of the team doesn’t). One skeleton has Scott’s (Dave Bautista) red scarf, while another died wearing necklaces that look…

Army of the Dead: Robot Zombie Mystery Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers. Zack Snyder’s return to the zombie genre that made him an A-list blockbuster director back in 2004 is as outrageous as you’d expect. While Army of the Dead‘s “heist inside a zombie quarantine zone” flick is actually a pretty straightforward affair in terms of the plot, there are quite a few things Snyder does with his undead baddies that have never really been done on-screen before. Some things are more overt than others, such as the smart “alpha” zombies that can have sex and reproduce, which means they no longer have to…

Netflix, New DVD release,
This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers. There’s a moment during Army of the Dead when a team led by former mercenary Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), on a mission to recover a casino owner’s cash from a vault in ruined, zombie-ravaged Las Vegas, comes upon the remains of a previous team seemingly sent into the city for the same reason. Ward’s right-hand man, a philosophically inclined “zombie killing machine” named Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick), muses that perhaps this is their team — and that they’re caught in a time loop, repeating the same disastrous actions over and over again. What…

Those Who Wish Me Dead Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains Those Who Wish Me Dead spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. What’s on the piece of paper? Why exactly do Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult want this Connor kid dead so badly? The ending of Taylor Sheridan’s Those Who Wish Me Dead is purposefully vague about what all this killing was about. But as a news crew approaches the young lad, played by Finn Little, it becomes clear he is going to tell a story that a lot of shadowy people wanted to keep hidden. So what is that story and why did so many…
