The Original Team is Reuniting for ‘Jennifer’s Body 2’

After 16 years, a sequel to the supernatural teenage horror film Jennifer’s Body is finally coming. Here’s everything we know so far. The Cult Legacy and Triumphant Creative Reunion When the original film debuted in 2009, a misguided marketing campaign targeted mainly men, pushing the film’s sexiness to the forefront. That portrayal left many women uninterested. Over time, however, female viewers and genre fans have fully embraced the film. Excitement for a new installment also comes from the creative team reuniting. Fans will see the return of the original director, Karyn Kusama; the writer, Diablo Cody; and the star, Megan Fox. However, it’s not yet known whether Amanda Seyfried will return for the sequel. Exploring Sympathy and Isolation in the Sequel During a recent appearance on the Petticoat Revolution podcast, Cody discussed her approach to the upcoming sequel. The writer also emphasized that Jennifer was fundamentally a victim both before and after her transformation. While audiences vividly recall her brutal power,

Game Review: ‘Psalm 5:9-13’

Well, this was a short one, so the review is…well…short. This is Psalm 5:9-13, possibly the creepiest game I’ve reviewed in months! There’s really no backstory to Psalm 5:9-13; you literally wake up in the dark and explore different rooms to get answers. The controls are extremely limited, as this is a walking sim. You use one button to zoom in the camera and another to interact when prompted; other than that, that’s it for controls. The sound design of the game is well done; the ambiance is creepy and makes you paranoid as you play, as some sounds seem to be designed to distract you in order to build up to a scare.         The graphics are great but hidden behind a VHS filter, unfortunately. I know people like that look, but sometimes it can be a tad much; in this case, it both works for and against the game. Gameplay-wise, the game is quite simple.

“Crystal Lake” Showrunner Already Has Plans for Season Two

After 17 long years, Friday the 13th fans finally got a brand-new entry: “Crystal Lake.” Showrunner Brad Caleb Kane launched the ambitious prequel series this week. The series may get a second season, and we hope so, because it’s absolutely fantastic. Expanding the Mysterious Lore of Crystal Lake Speaking with Deadline, Kane explained his creative vision for the series’ future seasons. Rather than focusing on a single narrative arc, he envisions exploring the entire community. The showrunner also wants to highlight eccentric townspeople like Officer Dorff, Trudy, and Crazy Ralph. This broader approach allows secondary characters to develop more deeply over time. “This is a world that I return to over and over and over again,” Deadline quotes him as saying. “I return to these movies, we all do, somehow. They became iconic for a reason. But there’s a lot we don’t know about the town. We meet these really colorful characters in the first movie, we meet Trudy and

Spoiler Free Reviews: Matapanki, The Thing Inside Her, and Paper Cuts (Toronto After Dark Film Festival 2026)

Matapanki (Chile, 2026) Official synopsis A punk kid gets superpowers from alcohol and tries to reshape society, but a violent error sparks global tensions with him at the center.  Review “Punk’s not dead!” goes the battle cry, and writer/director Diego Fuentes follows that spirit with his action comedy/fantasy feature Matapanki. Punk rock fan Ricardo (Ramón Gálvez) accidentally discovers a bottle of the titular fictitious drink and finds that ingesting the beverage gives him superpowers. With nods to Spider-Man, the film takes him on an origin-story journey where he is reluctant to use his powers despite his friends’ encouragement. Naturally, nefarious forces are at work, which Fuentes uses to skewer local and international political figures and movements. He also uses colorful animation and drawing effects to complement Cinematographer Vicente Correa’s impressive black-and-white work. Fueled with punk soul, a driving soundtrack, and all-in performances, Matapanki is a unique slice of genre-cinema fare.     The Thing Inside Her (Canada, 2026) Official synopsis After removing
