Get Infected By The Trailer For Fox’s New Series “The Passage”

Mark-Paul Gosselaar (NYPD, Saved by the Bell,) stars in Fox’s upcoming series “The Passage“, from producer Ridley Scott, based on the best-selling book trilogy by Justin Cronin. “The Passage is an epic, character‐driven thriller about a secret government medical facility experimenting with a dangerous virus that could either cure all disease or cause the downfall of the human race. The series focuses on a 10‐year‐old girl named Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney), who is chosen to be a test subject for this experiment and Brad Wolgast (Gosselaar), the federal agent who becomes her surrogate father as he tries to protect her.” The cast also includes Vincent Piazza as Clark Richards, Brianne Howey as Shauna Babcock, Jamie McShane as Dr. Tim Fanning, Caroline Chikezie as Dr. Major Nichole Sykes and Emmanuelle Chriqui as Dr. Lila Kyle.

Movie Review: The Tooth Fairy (2018)

As family and friends gather on a failing rural farm, we learn that years previous they managed to capture an evil witch (the Tooth Fairy…I don’t even fucking know), and imprison her in the barn by way of sugar and dangling candy canes (sounds ridiculous, and it is…but you lot all know I dig on the absurd, so well played movie…well played). Well that seemingly fool proof prison is thwarted when a drifter simply opens the door and frees the wicked bitch of the west (after she chisels some of his teeth out of course). This results in her stalking and granting dark wishes (in exchange for teeth ‘natch) to the sad sack family…now, can they dispatch her once more and get on with their dreary lives? First the positives to be had with the Tooth Fairy. For starters, the dreary setting (always overcast and completely remote) is full atmosphere and a suitable aesthetic choice for the tale of a

The Beast Is Unleashed In The First ‘Glass’ Trailer

Like many fans, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable and Split sequel Glass, and it’s finally here! James McAvoy‘s character Kevin who has more than two dozen personalities including the Beast who kidnapped Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy) in Split, appears to be the instrument that Mr. Glass will use to cause chaos. Can Bruce Willis’ character David save the day? The first image from the film revealed Kevin (McAvoy, David (Bruce Willis), and Elijah aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) sitting together inside of an asylum. It’s revealed in the trailer that the image comes from a scene where Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story) introduces herself as their psychiatrist.
