Movie Review: Darren Lynn Bousman’s ‘Death Of Me’

I’ve long been a fan of writer-director Darren Lynn Bousman. He’s the brilliant filmmaker that brought us films like Saw II and Saw III, Tales of Halloween, and the fantastically twisted film Repo! The Genetic Opera, as well as the upcoming movie Spiral. What’s not to love? Well, he’s back with a new terror-filled film, Death of Me, which is set to be released this October. Maggie Q stars as Christine, a wife along on a trip with her travel writer husband Neil (Luke Hemsworth) who are traveling to a stunning island off of Thailand. After a night out at a local bar, the two wake up and themselves covered in dirt and bruises, with no memory of the night before. With their passports and ID missing, the two are stranded. After discovering a video on Neil’s camera, they are stunned at what they see and Christine is left confused and terrified of her husband and everyone around her. A

Hulu’s “Helstrom” Trailer Teases The Dark Side Of The MCU

Marvel is synonymous with helpful superheroes out to save the world, but there’s a lot more to the Marvel Universe. The new series “Helstrom“ will explore Marvel’s dark side, filled with supernatural horrors. The new trailer gives us a taste of what’s to come. The series centers on Daimon and Ana Helstrom, the complicated adult children of a mysterious killer, who have inherited special gifts. We watch as they hunt down the worst of humanity, as well as the not so human. Creator Paul Zbyszewski states: It’s about the family that we’re born with and the family that we create,” he said. “It’s a nature-versus-nurture story. It’s about the stuff that we’re born with genetically that we inherit and we carry with us because we have to. It’s about our environment that we’re raised with and the values that we’re imprinted with as we grow older, and that affects our ability to judge right from wrong, and our morality.” Tom
