Candyman Review: Horror Movie Update is a Missed Opportunity

New DVD releasecandyman, horror, missed, movie, opportunity, review, update

In 1992, I begged my father to take me to see Candyman. He had already turned me into a horror fanatic so he needed to follow through and take me. After the film was over, I was terrified for weeks. My brain would manifest Candyman in the shadows of my room while I slept. As an adult, I don’t fancy the film as much, but I realized the allure of Candyman was that he was a terror specific to the Black community despite the circumstances of his death. I knew as a child that housing was an issue for poor…

Blizzard is bringing back the “classic” version of Hearthstone, which has proven to be all the reason some fans need to revisit a debate over changes to made to one of Hearthstone‘s classic cards, Succubus. For context, Blizzard recently announced that the release of Hearthstone‘s upcoming expansion will also mark the release of a new “Classic” format that lets you play the game roughly as it was when it officially launched in 2014. While that may not seem like a big deal for a game where nearly every card ever made is readily available for crafting and play, you have…

The Orville: Update on “More Ambitious” Season 3 Progress

New DVD releaseambitious, orville, progress, season, update

There’s rarely anything that Star Trek fans like to do more than talk (and argue) about Star Trek, but there’s one thing that an increasing number of them do agree on: Seth MacFarlane’s love letter to Trek, The Orville, has turned out to be surprisingly great. Family Guy creator MacFarlane first debuted his sci-fi comedy series to a dubious audience back in 2017, and after a wobbly start it gained a faithful fan base. MacFarlane had written himself a plum lead role as the 25th century captain an exploratory space vessel with a diverse crew, and the series has often…

One of the most prolific production companies of recent times has been Blumhouse, which spent the better part of the past 15 years delivering low-to-mid-budget quality genre entertainment — mostly horror, some of it in other genres like sci-fi and thriller — to eager audiences watching at the movie theater or on TV (the company has also been behind dramas like Whiplash). Like every other entertainment entity out there, Blumhouse has been impacted heavily by the coronavirus pandemic. Not only has the company shuffled release dates and moved films either onto premium VOD or out of 2020 completely, but production…

Call of Duty: Warzone’s Haunting of Verdansk Update is Surprisingly Scary

New DVD releasehaunting, scary, surprisingly, update, verdansk, warzone

On paper, Call of Duty: Warzone‘s Haunting of Verdansk update looked like a fun way to kill a little time before the release of Cold War and celebrate Halloween a little ahead of schedule (as if we weren’t already doing that). However, it turns out that Warzone‘s new Zombies mode is actually the battle royale’s best event so far and a pretty fun tribute to the glory days of CoD‘s best Zombies modes. As we previously talked about, Warzone‘s limited-time Zombies mode sees you drop into a relatively small part of the Verdansk map and battle other players as per…

In a fascinating interview with Kotaku, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer addressed what the long-term implications of Microsoft’s ZeniMax Media acquisition are and whether or not future major Bethesda games will be exclusive to Xbox platforms. Specifically, the interviewer asked, “Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don’t sell Elder Scrolls VI on the PlayStation?” Spencer offered a quick response. “Yes,” Spencer said. “I don’t want to be flip about that. This deal was not done to take games away from another player base like that. Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: ‘How…

Dataminers have discovered that the latest Call of Duty: Warzone update contains data related to skins and items based on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw franchises.

The full patch notes for Valorant‘s 1.09 update have been revealed, and they include notable nerfs and buffs for some of the game’s top Agents and weapons. Let’s start with the game’s Agents. Viper is arguably the biggest beneficiary of this update as she receives what essentially feels like a soft rework. She’ll now start each round with 100 fuel capacity (up from 50) and the debuff applied by her Snake Bite ability now remains for two seconds after the player leaves the field of acid. Additionally, her movement speed will be doubled when she casts her Viper’s Pit ability…
