Link Tank: Why You Should Rewatch The Love Witch This October

New DVD release, , ,
The Love Witch, directed by Anna Biller, is a feminist horror film well-deserving of a revisit this October. “In 2016, feminist film director Anna Biller released The Love Witch and it has been a part of my regular Halloween film viewing every year since. Not just because the film is gorgeous and emotionally riveting, but because of how Biller’s love of horror and the feminist gaze allows her to create a film that can bring forth tears of laughter and anguish.” Read more at The Mary Sue. Halloween may be a joyous annual celebration, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t…

Borat 2 Puts Rudy Giuliani at the Center of His Own October Surprise

New DVD release, , , ,
This article features Borat Subsequent Moviefilm spoilers. Like many, I admit I was skeptical upon hearing the news that Sacha Baron Cohen was making Borat 2, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, no less. But less than a month later, and a handful of days before its Amazon Prime premiere, I stand corrected. It seems Borat is the exact kind of October Surprise we need this election year… or at least the one we deserve. Look no further than details about Rudy Giuliani lying in a bed with his hands allegedly near his crotch. As revealed in a report filed in…

Upcoming Movies in October 2020: Theaters, Streaming and VOD

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
October looks a lot different than it did only a few weeks ago. As the month many movie theater owners were hanging their hats on with the hope of a weekly deluge of new movies , October has recently been vacated by high profile features that include Wonder Woman 1984, Death on the Nile, and Candyman. Yet if you’re  a cinephile or movie lover who is desperate for new stories and visions, it is not all doom and gloom. Between the streaming market of Netflix, VOD, and other platforms, as well as some smaller films willing to roll the dice…

Upcoming Horror Movies in October 2020: Theaters, Streaming, and VOD

New DVD release, , , , ,
October is here, which means it’s the time of the season for getting scared. With Halloween gradually becoming a month-long celebration over the past few years — even if the coronavirus has put a damper on many activities such as trick-or-treating — one thing we can always look forward to during these 31 days is a deluge of horror movies old and new, whether via streaming, cable network marathons or even fleeting theatrical releases. Horror is already a reliable genre both at the box office (under normal circumstances) and in the digital space, so it’s no surprise that even in…

The Witches Reboot Trailer Arrives, Will Go Direct to HBO Max in October

New DVD release, , , , ,
“Witches, they’re real, and they hate children,” Chris Rock warns us in the first The Witches trailer. Yes, even with Everybody Hates Chris-style narration, Four Tops orchestration, and CGI animation, Roald Dahl’s message lives on. “It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you.” You can rest assured that person will not be a witch. The children are entrapped in the bodies of mice, and the Warner Bros. feature adaptation of Dahl’s 1983 novel was supposed to be released in theaters. But it will hit HBO Max on Oct. 22. Just in…

October is here and you know what that means: time for the streaming services to put their spookiest foot forward. Amazon is doing its part for its new releases in October 2020 by rolling out some horror originals and library titles. This is the month that the much-hyped Blumhouse horror anthology series Welcome to the Blumhouse arrives. “Episodes” of that, Black Box and The Lie launch on Oct. 6 and Evil Eye and Nocturne arrive on Oct. 13. Another horror-adjacent release of note is Truth Seekers, a comedy-horror series from Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. That’s about it for notable…

Borat 2 Picked Up by Amazon, Will Premiere in October

New DVD release, , , ,
There is a moment that I will always treasure in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, and it may not be one that immediately springs to your mind. It’s not when Borat goes into an American religious community, nor is it when he wrestles his husky sidekick in the nude. Rather Sacha Baron Cohen, in his complete Borat regalia on the Upper West Side, squats over a sign that says “Trump International Hotel.” In recent years, the scene provides the occasional cackle, and apparently Baron Cohen is determined to do that again in long-form…

Blumhouse Television and Amazon Studios have teamed up to conjure Welcome to Blumhouse, a collection of all-new, diversely-themed, brand-unified films from the eponymous fabricators of film frights, arriving just in time for a Halloween season that—unprecedentedly—won’t likely involve trick-or-treating.

Supernatural Final Episodes Trailer Arrives Ahead of October Return

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The CW’s veteran wayward son of a show, Supernatural, will soon carry on towards whatever peace there’ll be when it is gone. It’s a notion that feels a lot more real with the release of the trailer for the final seven episodes of Season 15, which happen to be the final episodes of the series…period. While a pandemic-pushed delay may have resulted in a stay of sorts for Supernatural fans who aren’t ready to let go of the series, Sam and Dean Winchester are solidly scheduled to face the music (in a more serious scenario than Bill & Ted,) starting…
