Robert Eggers' 'The Northman' Has Landed On Peacock

Robert Eggers’ ‘The Northman’ Has Landed On Peacock

Robert Egger‘s revenge epic The Northman (read the review here) is one of the year’s best films. You may think it will be a long time until it comes to streaming, but you would be wrong. It has just landed on Peacock! In the brutal and bloody film, after witnessing firsthand the murder of his father, a Viking prince (Alexander Skarsgård) devotes his life to avenging his father’s death, saving his mother, and reclaiming his kingdom in The Northman. The film is written and directed by Robert Eggers (one of our favorites) and stars Alexander Skarsgård (Godzilla vs. Kong, The Legend of Tarzan) in what is no question his best performance to date. Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies, Moulin Rouge), Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit, Emma), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse, Spider-Man), Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Before Midnight), Claes Bang and Björk (Dancer In The Dark) also star.

In celebration of Pride Month, Shudder has just released the first poster for their new four-part docu-series “Queer for Fear,” which delves into the history of queer people in the horror and thriller genres. From Executive produce, rs Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) and Steak House (Launchpad) “Queer for Fe,” a Shudder Original, will debut this Fall. From its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to the pansy craze of the 1920s that influenced Universal Monsters and Hitchcock, through the “lavender scare” alien invasion films of the mid-20th century and the AIDS obsessed bloodletting of 80s vampire films, Queer for Fear re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere.

Warner Bros. Unleashes New Clip To Celebrate 'Eraser: Reborn's' Release

Blu-ray Review: Eraser: Reborn Is A Great Action-Filled Flick

Director John Pogue’s (The Quiet Ones, Deep Blue Sea 3) reboot Eraser: Reborn is set to be released this week. I had the chance to check it out in advance and review it. Before we dive into it, I confess that I’ve never seen the original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. With the1996 original having such a star-studded cast, I feel that it is almost unfair to compare the two, so I’m going to judge Reborn on its own merits. In the movie, U.S. Marshal Mason Pollard specializes in “erasing” people – faking the deaths of high-risk witnesses. With the technological advances of the last 25 years, the game has upgraded, and it’s just another day at the office when he’s assigned to Rina Kimura, a crime boss’ wife who’s decided to turn state’s evidence. As the two flee to Cape Town, South Africa, Pollard discoveruthlesseen sets up with a team of merciless assassins on their trail. Double-crossed and fueled by adrenaline,
