Let’s be honest, we are all a little broken-hearted that “Supernatural” is ending. While we’ve known for a while that Jared Padalecki had found his next role on the reboot of “Walker, Texas Ranger,” fans have been wondering what is next for Jensen Ackles. Well, we’ve just learned where we can see him next. Ackles is joining the super series “The Boys” for its third season. As for the role, Ackles has been cast in the pivotal role of Soldier Boy. The actor teased the announcement on Instagram. Amazon Prime confirmed the news. In the comics, after Super Boy fought in World War II, he became the first celebrity superhero.

Ahead of its World Premiere at the Dances with Films Festival in L.A. later this month, we’ve got the trailer for Ryan Barton Grimley’s horror-comedy Hawk And Rev: Vampire Slayers which teases a frighteningly funny, blood-soaked flick. Grimley, Ari Schneider, Jana Savage, and Richard Gayler star in the indie film that follows Philip “HAWK” Hawkins who doesn’t just dream about killing vampires…he eats, sleeps, drinks, and freakin’ breaths it. After getting kicked out of the Army for staking a fellow soldier with a blunt two by four, Hawk almost dies of boredom working as a night security guard at a deserted warehouse in his hometown of Santa Muerte, California. Just when it looks like all Hawk’s options in life have expired, filthy blood-sucking vampires appear and of course, no one freakin’ believes him! With his back up against the wall, his sweaty Karate Kid headband tied on tight, real tight, and hordes of blood-thirsty vampires closing in, Hawk enlists the

I don’t know about you, but I have a real fear of AI going terribly wrong. That happens to be the premise of the sci-fi thriller Monsters of Man, which is currently running an Indiegogo campaign. In his stunning directorial debut, Mark Toia combines non-stop action with powerful special effects to explore AI, corruption, and the terrifying possibilities of future warfare. The movie “reveals the consequences of unchecked power and robots who have advanced beyond human control. When a corrupt CIA agent (Neil McDonough) teams up with a robotics company to deploy an illegal, unsanctioned military operation, the plan is to drop four prototype robots into a suspected drug manufacturing camp in the Golden Triangle that no one will miss. The mission is to prove the robotics company is worthy of winning a lucrative military contract but all goes horribly awry when six American volunteer doctors witness the brutal slaughter of an innocent village and are forced into a deadly

We’ve got the first trailer for Shudder’s upcoming horror-comedy Scare Me, the feature debut of writer-director Josh Ruben, arriving on the streaming service just ahead of Halloween. In the film, Fred (Josh Ruben, CollegeHumor), a frustrated copywriter, checks into a winter cabin to start his first novel.

During a power outage, Fanny challenges Fred to tell a scary story. As a storm sets in, they pass the time spinning spooky tales fueled by the tensions between them, and Fred is forced to confront his ultimate fear: Fanny is the better storyteller. The stakes are raised when they’re visited by a horror fan (Chris Redd, “Saturday Night Live”) who delivers levity (and a pizza) to the proceedings. “About the pleasures and perils of storytelling and the genre’s power to exorcise social demons, Scare Me
