Pulp Fiction stars Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson, reunite for the “darkly comic” thriller The Kill Room, from director Nicol Paone (Friendsgiving) and writer Jonathan Jacobson, THR has announced. “The story follows a hitman, his boss (Jackson), an art dealer (Thurman), and a money-laundering scheme that accidentally turns the assassin into an overnight, avant-garde, sensation, one that forces her to play the art world against the underworld.” “Getting to make The Kill Room — an already incredible script — with Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson, is beyond my wildest dreams,” said Paone. “Every moment they’re on screen, they are both enviable and eye-catching. I am eternally grateful to both of them for saying yes, and I am thrilled to bring this to life alongside Anne Clements and Yale Productions.”

One of this writer’s favorite series happens to be Paramount+’s supernatural horror show “Evil.” I’m happy to report that it has just scored its season three premiere date and a new teaser trailer. Starring Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi, “Evil“ is “a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions, and hauntings. Their job is to assess if there is a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.” Season two of “Evil” ended with a cliffhanger on the day that David was ordained as a man of the cloth. That same day Kristen came to him begging for him to hear her confession, revealing the secret she had been hiding, that she’d killed serial murderer Orson LeRoux, and

The new Scream movie has horror fans split down the middle. So, I guess it’s time to put my two cents in, seeing that the movie is headed to home release. The fifth movie of the franchise, set 25 years after the original murders, kicks off with a scene that pays straight homage to the original film’s opening scene, you know the one, with Drew Barrymore? This time the young woman on the phone with a killer is Tara, played by Jenna Ortega. After she survives an attack from Ghostface she is put in the hospital and her older sister Sam (Melissa Barrera) rushes back to see her after being gone for five years, only to find that Ghostface is hellbent on killing them both. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Scream movie without franchise stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette. The new cast includes Jack Quaid and Marley Shelton. To be honest, I don’t have any complaints
