He’s back, he’s still wearing the eyepatch, and no—he’s not dead. Mad Cave Studios is bringing John Carpenter’s ultimate antihero back to the printed page this fall with Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago. Launching this September, the new continuation series officially expands the dystopian, synth-scored world of the 1981 cult-classic film. Steering the escape pod for this adventure is writer Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, No One), with artist Val Rodrigues (The Pale Knight). Together, they’re throwing Snake Plissken right back into the kind of high-stakes, maximum-violence chaos that defined ’80s sci-fi. Sweet Home, Dystopian Chicago You know the rules: once you go in, you don’t come out. Unless, of course, your name is Snake Plissken. This time around, Snake is scraping by as a “coyote.” He’s smuggling desperate people and highly illegal contraband across the heavily armed dead zones between fractured prison territories. It’s a miserable, brutal gig. But when a high-paying client hires him to extract a

If you thought Pennywise gave balloons a bad rap, wait until you meet Ringmaster Vincent Vile. Dead End Films has unleashed its micro-budget horror-comedy The Yellow Balloon: The Curse of Vincent Vile, and early reviews from the indie genre circuit are already rolling in. The consensus? It’s gooey, unhinged, and proudly flying the flag for old-school midnight movies. Written by Robert Carrera and directed by Jason D. Morris, the twisted feature takes a standard “cabin in the woods” weekend and violently derails it into a circus of occult VHS weirdness, demonic possession, paranoia, and a metric ton of practical-FX gore. The Cast & Crew Facing the Inflation The Bay Area-based production company Dead End Films has built its identity on avoiding cheap digital shortcuts in favor of practical craftsmanship and genuine personality. Bringing this particular nightmare to life is an ensemble cast featuring Robert Carrera, Shelby Broadnax, and Justin Jobe. Justine Leverett, Scott Somers, Tony Sommers, Konnor Heredia, Timothy Waldron,

If you thought your pandemic lockdown was rough, Netflix is about to make your worst claustrophobic nightmares look like a luxury spa day. The streaming giant has dropped the first trailer for The Last House, an intense sci-fi thriller that asks a deeply unsettling question: How long could you survive with only the items in your home? The Ultimate Long-Term Lockdown The film follows a normal family that suddenly finds itself locked inside its house with no explanation, no escape routes, and a mysterious, looming threat waiting just outside. The tension kicks off when Jason—played by Oscar nominee Wagner Moura (Narcos)—realizes the doors and windows have completely sealed them in while the rain pours down. And no, they can’t just call a locksmith. Days bleed into weeks, and weeks bleed into literal years. Jason and his wife, Ann (played by Greta Lee in Past Lives), are left with absolutely no answers for their young kids, Ruth and Graham. As the

Most people hear the name James Gunn and think Guardians of the Galaxy or his shiny new Superman movie. Not me. When I hear his name, my mind immediately goes to the gutter—specifically to Slither, his 2006 masterpiece of sci-fi slime that helped turn him into the cinematic mastermind he is today. So, the second I heard about the glorious new 20th Anniversary 4K Steelbook, I threw my wallet at the screen. Let’s say it did not disappoint. Slimey Tentacle Aliens If you’ve never experienced this beautiful disaster, the story is a classic “alien parasite meets the backwoods” nightmare. A space rock lands in a sleepy town. Then a local businessman is transformed into a walking tentacled biological hazard as the alien begins a messy mission to consume every living thing on Earth. It’s up to the town’s delightfully dry-witted Sheriff (Nathan Fillion, delivering peak Fillion) and a resilient local wife of the victim (Elizabeth Banks) to stop the infestation

They Will Kill You—the raucous, blood-soaked action-horror-comedy that transforms a Manhattan high-rise into a literal house of the damned. If you’re a genre fan who lives for a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor and John Wick-style stunts, lock this in right now: this movie is an absolute must-watch.
