In Rampage, the live adaption of Midway’s game by the same name, “Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth.

Poster, Trailer, And Release Date Arrive For ‘Strangers: Prey At Night’

The Strangers: Prey at Night, the long-awaited sequel to 2008’s home invasion hit The Strangers from Bryan Bertino, will soon be in theaters. Set to open in theaters in March, the first teaser has arrived and it is awesome. While playing the tune ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ by Debbie Gibbson, the teaser is filled with action and blood and reminds us to “Never underestimate the kindness of strangers”. Did I mention that it is supposedly based on a true story? That turns the creepy factor up a notch or two, doesn’t it? The first poster has also been released. Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down), the film centers on a family whose road trip takes a dangerous turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives and find it mysteriously deserted. Under the cover of darkness, three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test the family’s every limit as they struggle

Movie Review: Other Halves is Half a Good Flick

Peep this shizz oh grizzly ghouls; Other Halves tells the story of a revolutionary new dating app…an app that matches folks automatically based on your online history…good lord, how many people would be matched up with midgets on horses? Just me? Fuuuuu…. Anyway, we are introduced to our scrappy group of young programmers who are charged with sorting out a few teeny, tiny, bugs in the software before launch…you know, bugs that have users turning into unbelievably horny murder machines…no biggie. On the upside, the story is fast paced, there’s some blood and naked flesh thrown about (male and female for a change), and the satirical elements of the story (including jabs at social media, apps, and horror tropes) manages to be effective without being overly “wink wink”. Also of note is the effective use of location as the film takes place inside the offices of the tech start up working on the app. Does this belie the film’s low
