The Walking Dead is Basically Little House on the Prairie Now

New DVD release, , , ,
You’d be forgiven for not knowing what’s going on with The Walking Dead at the moment.  Once TV’s most-watched series, AMC’s long-running zombie drama is…still one of TV’s most-watched series but significantly less so than it was at its peak. The show, based on Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s 198-issue comic of the same name, still receives plenty of active fans and bemused weekly onlookers. Here at Den of Geek we’re a bit of both.  We know people are still watching The Walking Dead, now three episodes into its 24-episode final season. And yet, it’s hard to shake the feeling…

House of the Dragon Photos Offer First Look at Thrones Prequel Characters

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Production on HBO’s first Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is now underway. And we don’t even have to take the network’s word for it this time, as over the weekend grainy, far away photos and videos of actors in costume began to emerge on social media.  Since we all clearly can’t help but snoop, HBO has decided just to go ahead and release high quality photos of said actors in costume. The first three official photos of House of the Dragon today and they highlight five brand new (or technically old in this prequel’s case) characters…perhaps even…

Cover Reveal: Catriona Ward’s The Last House on Needless Street

New DVD release, , , , ,
Catriona Ward‘s The Last House on Needless Street is one of the most anticipated books of the year, with Stephen King himself singing its praises. King said of the gothic tale: “The buzz building around Catriona Ward’s The Last House on Needless Street is real. I’ve read it and was blown away. It’s a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven’t read anything this exciting since Gone Girl.” Marketed as a cross between Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House, the psychological horror tells the tale of “a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge…

White House Farm Episode by Episode Breakdown: True Crime Drama on Netflix

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
White House Farm is a dramatisation of the Jeremy Bamber story, a horrible case that saw the killing of five members of the same family including two children. The show came to ITV in 2020 in week by week episodes and has now arrived on Netflix in a full boxset. It’s a compelling look at what happened in 1985 at a remote farmhouse and the man who was convicted of the murders, as well as the dogged cop who wouldn’t settle for the obvious answer despite the negative impact it had on his career. While elements of the story are…

Amityville Horror House Review: Old Ghost Story Gets an Enthusiastic Retelling

New DVD release, , , , , ,
What can be said about the Amityville, Long Island “Horror House” that hasn’t been said before? Not much apparently, but discovery+’s special “Shock doc” Amityville Horror House has a great, gory time going over it again. First, they tell us what we already know, the beautiful house in the affluent suburb, just an hour from Manhattan, is known as the most haunted house in America. Then they tell us more about what we know, the 1979 film Amityville Horror was a huge hit, breaking box office records, which made ghost hunting movies accessible to everyday people.

Who are the New Characters in Game of Thrones Prequel, House of the Dragon?

New DVD release, , , ,
This article MIGHT contain mild spoilers for House of the Dragon. The Game of Thrones prequel is heating up with three major lead additions to the House of the Dragon ensemble. With the casting of Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Emma D’Arcy, significant pedigree has been added to the series, particularly for either Doctor Who or British Royal Family enthusiasts with regard to Smith. And it also feels a lot more tangible for fans looking on from the outside. However, other than a brief mention of who the new cast members are playing—Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, and Rhaenyra Targaryen—not much…

His House Ending Explained – the Apeth, the Ghosts and the Meaning of the Title

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Remi Weekes debut movie, His House, has taken Netflix by storm. It’s a very current story of two Sudanese refugees who are given asylum in Britain but under some oppressive conditions including that they must not work and they must not leave the house which they are assigned. But the couple has brought something with them on their journey and the two are tormented inside the squalid house by ghosts and apparitions who live in the walls but can inflict very real damage on the pair. His House is social commentary but also an out and out horror. It also…

His House and the Horror of “Otherness”

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
“My perspective is about other people that cinema doesn’t necessarily cater for,” says director Remi Weekes, whose debut His House recently arrived on Netflix. It’s an extremely accomplished first film which tackles big social issues while leaning hard into horror. In the run up to the film’s release talk of awards was being bandied about. The movie landed on Netflix on October 30 – just before Halloween, certainly, but also traditionally the start of the run up to the big awards push. 2020 is of course a trash fire, with awards season shifted till later in 2021 but we wouldn’t…

His House Review

New DVD release,
The old saying goes: “home is where the heart is.” But what if your heart is rotten and prevents you from leaving the baggage of the past behind? This is the question Remi Week’s new film, His House, aims to answer.   Debuting on Netflix, His House is a mashup of drama and horror that addresses what it’s like to enter a foreign land after escaping a war-torn nation and exploring the desperation to fit into a culture that isn’t your own and the horrors that come with it. The third act stifles the narrative ever so slightly, which prevents this…

House of Dark Shadows: The Craziest Vampire Movie You’ve Never Seen

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains House of Dark Shadows spoilers. In 1970 House of Dark Shadows flipped the vampire subgenre on its head. While certainly a B-horror in the Hammer mold, this chiller wasn’t satisfied with one bloodsucker, or even two. Instead Dark Shadows would turn nearly its whole cast into the ravenous undead, indiscriminately slaughtering beloved heroes and heroines, not caring for a second that they were also the stars of a daytime soap opera—one that was appointment TV for millions of kids across America. Clearly it was a different time. And therein lies its charm. When the television series Dark…

Game of Thrones Prequel Series House of the Dragon on Track for 2022, Casting Underway, Says HBO President

New DVD release, , , , , ,
While 2019’s controversial conclusion of Game of Thrones played out the presumed end of Westeros’s royal Targaryen bloodline in the television adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire literary mythology, HBO subsequently put into motion plans to jump back to the family’s peak era with prequel series House of the Dragon, with a 2022 window eyed. Yet, while the royal house’s motto of “Fire and Blood,” might accurately describe how 2020 has been playing out, it appears that the prequel series was not set back by the pandemic. House of the Dragon is still on track…

Control: AWE Review – Alan Wake Pays Jesse a Visit in the Oldest House

New DVD release, , , , ,
Control’s first DLC, The Foundation, offered a lot of exploration but surprisingly little world-building. Protagonist Jesse Faden had settled into her role as Director of the Federal Bureau of Control, and learned more about the game’s ever-shifting brutalist setting, the Oldest House. Limited by the mostly identical hallways of the House’s undercroft, The Foundation never matched the wonder of finally seeing the sky in the initial campaign or meeting some of the characters for the first time. Fortunately, the newest venture into the Oldest House, AWE, is a much more substantial expansion, bringing horror and quirky humor to a story…

New DVD release, , , ,
The beloved, long-running Nickelodeon show PAW Patrol has not been shut down as part of a wave of recent cancellations of TV series featuring police officers. White House press mouthpiece and professional prevaricator Kayleigh McEnany — who never met a lie she didn’t want to escape her lips — claimed that PAW Patrol was canceled along with shows like Cops and Live PD in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the months of protests that followed. During a Friday press briefing, McEnany blurted out that her boss is “appalled by cancel culture, and cancel culture specifically as…

NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 4 Review: The Lake House

New DVD release, , , ,
This NOS4A2 review contains spoilers. NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 4 For as much skill as Bing Partridge (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) has with connecting to children, Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto) is no slouch in that department, either. He might not be able to talk to kids on their level as well as Bing, but there’s just something about Charlie, and the tantalizing lure of Christmasland, that speaks to children in a way that’s difficult to resist. Throughout “The Lake House,” Charlie is putting a full-court press on Wayne (Jason David) to get him to take a seat in the back of…
