Epix’s New Horror Series “From” Premieres This Weekend!

EPIX’s new sci-fi horror series “From” makes its premiere this weekend and it’s a must-see! In fact, I called it “one of the best new series of the year,” in my review. Starring Harold Perrineau, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Eion Bailey, the series finds a family stuck in a time loop and forced to acclimate to a town made up of stranded travelers. Just when they think things couldn’t get any worse, they discover that when the sun goes down and terrifying monsters come out to hunt. The cast of this fantastic, dark series also includes Hannah Cheramy, Simon Webster, Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot, Shaun Majumder, Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori, David Alpay (Castle Rock), Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy, and Avery Konrad. During my interview with Harold Perrineau, he explained one of the things that make the creatures so terrifying. “They just walk because you know why? You’ve got nowhere to go. That’s scary.”

Tequila Worms And Magic Don’t Mix In The New Clip From Shudder’s ‘Hellbender’

Today we’ve got a treat for you. To celebrate the release of the Shudder Original film Hellbender, we’ve got a new clip that reveals why Tequila worms and magic don’t mix. The latest film from the upstate N.Y. filmmaker family The Adams, Hellbender is written, directed, produced, scored, and edited by Toby Poser, John Adams, and Zelda Adams (The Deeper You Dig) — who also star alongside Lulu Adams.

The family also produced the music for the feature with tracks from their experimental punk band H6LLB6ND6R.

Documentary Review: 'The Missing Children' Is A True Crime Story You Need To See

Documentary Review: ‘The Missing Children’ Is A True Crime Story You Need To See

When it comes to true crime, nothing is more heartbreaking than stories that involve children. The new documentary, The Missing Children, may very well be one of the most heartbreaking and infuriating true crime stories you’ll ever hear. Built in 1841, the “Mother’s Home” in Tuam, Ireland, was originally a workhouse for the poor until it was converted in 1925 into a place where unwed, pregnant women were sent by their families and priests because at the time an unwed pregnancy was the ultimate shame. These women were not allowed to keep their children, the babies were adopted out, or worse, they died. And many did die, sometimes only 1 out of 2 children would survive their stay. The Catholic Church’s facility was run by the order of Bon Secours Sisters, nuns trained as nurses who were reportedly cruel to both the mothers and the children and have been accused of abuse, both physical and mental. It’s also implied that
