DVD Review: “The Alienist Season 2: Angel Of Darkness”

I hold in my hand a copy of “The Alienist: Angel of Darkness“, which serves as the second season of the crime-thriller series from TNT, set to be released on May 18, 2021. Let me start with the box itself which has an almost metallic sheen and features an image of the three main stars, Daniel Brühl (Rush), Luke Evans (Midway), and Dakota Fanning (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), flanked by red wings dripping with blood. The box is quite beautiful and honestly, pictures don’t do it justice. It would make a fantastic piece for any collection. “Angel of Darkness” features eight one-hour episodes on three discs. The season picks up a year after the team’s first investigation where Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a pioneer in forensic psychiatry, tracked down the brutal serial killer John Beecham with the help of a team of trusted companions and a revolutionary application of the principles of his discipline. Kreizler and his friends–high-living crime

Carnage Is Unleashed In The ‘Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage’ Trailer

The trailer is finally here for the long-awaited sequel to Venom. Teased in the first film, we see the new villain Carnage (Woody Harelson) in the trailer, and he unleashes chaos. We watch as the crazed serial killer Cletus Kasady gets a lethal injection, only to survive and have his red symbiote awakened, transforming him into Carnage. What ensues is an all-out war between Carnage and Venom (Tom Hardy). Andy Serkis is in the director’s chair this time instead of Ruben Fleisher, who directed the 2018 film that brought in $855 million globally. Michelle Williams, Reid Scott, and Naom Harris also star along with Hardy and Harrelson. Written by Kelly Marcel, based on a story by Marcel and Hardy, the movie is produced by Marcel, Hardy, Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker with Barry Waldman, Jonathan Cavendish, Ruben Fleischer, Edward Cheng, and Howard Chen executive producing.

Exclusive: Trailer And Update For The ‘Crawl Of Die’ Sequel

BackyardFilms has just announced the upcoming sequel(s) to their 2015 breakout Horror, CRAWL or DIE, starring actress and singer, Nicole Alonso (CRAWL or DIE, Screen) who is returning as the fan-favorite badass action hero, Tank. Written and directed by acclaimed Indie director, Oklahoma Ward, filming has wrapped on the sequel that is currently in post-production. Ward and Alonso have kept the plot to their highly anticipated sequel(s) close to the vest, but what we do know is that Alonso’s Tank is back with a heart-pounding vengeance, and the Mohawk sporting, steel-nerved warrior will finally come face-to-face with the creature and this time — IT’S WAR! We called CRAWL or DIE a “claustrophobic masterpiece” back when it was released and there is no doubt that Ward’s follow-up will be just as intense, terrifying, and anxiety-inducing as its precursor. Backyard Films, LLC is the brainchild of Oklahoma Ward and Nicole Alonso. Started in 2012 as a means of producing the original CRAWL

‘Faces Of Death’ Is Being Given New Life With A Reboot

Odds are you’ve heard about the 1978 movie Faces of Death. Like many movies of our youth, Faces of Death is now getting a reboot that will kick off a new franchise. Billed as a documentary, it shocked and horrified viewers, featuring supposed real deaths, autopsies, and scenes of gore, and bizarre events, up close in clips from around the world. In reality, the majority of the deaths were staged, but the movie, written and directed by John Allen Schwarts, still managed to build a cult following even after it was banned in countries around the world, leaving people desperate to get their hands on a copy of the VHS. Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber, the duo behind 2018’s thriller Cam will be reuniting for the reboot with Mazzei writing and Goldhaber directing. Legendary Entertainment has acquired the rights and will be behind the new movie, THR reports. Odds are you’ve heard of them too. Legendary is behind movies such
