Welcome to the Dollhouse: Inside the Chucky TV Series

After seven films and an ill-advised reboot, Chucky is set to deploy a new torrent of neighborhood carnage. The killer doll has gone through several reinventions over the years, but  now that he’s back in the hands of original creator Don Mancini, he’ll find yet another unsuspecting family to terrorize in his very own TV series. Chucky has certainly navigated a wild path to the small screen. The Child’s Play franchise started out playing the character straight by charting his efforts to get his murderous psychological hooks into innocent little Andy Barclay, but films one through three were also embracing…

How Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Wants to Get This Franchise Right

Before Resident Evil became a best-selling video game franchise, it was a passion project with a simple purpose: to scare the hell out of a generation of unsuspecting gamers. While 2002’s Resident Evil movie shared the 1996 game’s name, it emphasized sci-fi storytelling and action over scares. That movie—and the five sequels that followed—became box office hits, but ultimately divided video game fans who wondered if those movies really got the fabled franchise “right.” For Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City director Johannes Roberts, the chance to reboot this franchise is less about correcting past mistakes than making the most…

How DC Universe Infinite Brings Welcome Changes to the Digital Comics Reading Experience

Way back in September, DC’s second FanDome event dropped a huge announcement: DC Universe, the all-encompassing DC entertainment streaming app that featured comics, movies, and TV shows from the DC catalog, would narrow its focus to comics, becoming an app called DC Universe Infinite. The new app launches on Jan. 21 and brings with is a slew of changes, many of them for the better — at least if comics are what you’re looking for. Den of Geek got an early peek under the hood of the app and we have plenty of good news to share. How It Works…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 2 Review: Welcome to the Club

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 2 Generally speaking, I tend to take a more philosophical approach to writing my reviews. Zombie shows in particular have a lot of meat on the bone in this regard, and offer a lot of food for thought. Puns aside, this week’s “Welcome to the Club,” directed by none other than Fear the Walking Dead’s own Lennie James, tackles the notion of identity-defining morality in an episode that’s filled with plenty of twists and turns. You can read more about James’s first time in the director’s chair in…

How Welcome to the Blumhouse Explores the Horror of Family

In terms of dealing with the pandemic and how to release existing or finished films without having movie theaters available until recently, Blumhouse has been one of the leaders. The company — in conjunction with its primary distributor, Universal Pictures — shifted the arrival of its summer horror movie, You Should Have Left, from theaters to VOD seamlessly, while movies that came out in theaters right before the coronavirus shut everything down — like The Invisible Man and The Hunt — also made the transition quickly and smoothly, extending their shelf life and possibly their audiences. Now, with many theaters…

Fargo Season 4 Episode 1 Review: Welcome to the Alternate Economy

This Fargo review contains spoilers. Fargo Season 4 Episode 1 It’s been a long wait for Fargo’s fourth season. Noah Hawley’s improbably good Coen Brothers adaptation arrived on the scene as an idiosyncratic, darkly funny crime story, but in its third season, its Midwest charm and stylish execution couldn’t quite hide the fact that the story was lacking and the schtick was wearing thin. Hawley decided to go back to the drawing board for Season 4, then was forced to delay his return to the anthology series a bit longer due to coronavirus shutting down production. Thankfully, the FX series…

NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 9 Review: Welcome to Christmasland

This NOS4A2 review contains spoilers. NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 9 There’s a certain sadness that comes along with parenting. As a first-time parent of a toddler, I’ve been spared most of it, but even though my child is still in the early stages of learning to speak and developing higher motor functions, there’s already a little maudlin joy in watching her grow and change. The little potato-shaped baby I fed and cuddled on the couch doesn’t snuggle in immediately when you pick her up. If she wants something, she’s quick about expressing her opinion, mostly with body language. If she…

With no help from the Kremlin and only faint global condemnation of the violence, a vast and secretive network of activists takes matters into its own hands.Rated: Not RatedRelease Date: Jun 30, 2020

Welcome to the New Den of Geek

The last few years have been tumultuous for the corner of online media that serves the entertainment world. Whether it was news sites wondering if it would be better to serve the whims of Facebook’s ever-changing and increasingly obscure algorithm (narrator voice: it wasn’t), a similarly ill-advised industry-wide “pivot to video,” or the proliferation of pop culture websites who feel like simply making news up is the same as breaking it, the internet can be a capricious, often cutthroat, place. But maybe it doesn’t have to be. Den of Geek was founded in the UK over a decade ago, and…
