Adult Swim Surprises Viewers With Its First Live-Action Horror Film, ‘Adult Swim Yule Log’

Last night, Adult Swim fans were gifted an early holiday present, the new horror film Adult Swim Yule Log, from acclaimed writer-director Casper Keely, who is behind the viral short film “Too many cooks.” The film made its debut following the Season Six finale of “Rick and Morty.” Viewers watched as a traditional fireplace video transformed into Adult Sim’s first live-action horror film, The Fireplace. Described only as a “cozy crackling fire,” viewers were forewarned that the TV-MA yule log contained “violence, adult language, and brief nudity.” After beginning with festive fireplace visual and holiday music, Adult Swim Yule Log gives way to unfolding a pulse-pounding story set within a remote cabin in which a mysterious and deadly fireplace constantly burns. Filled with mind-bending twists and a bizarre cast of characters, welcoming viewers into a surreal, genre-defying thriller.” “At this time of year, it’s nice to recognize the people important to you, and for us, that’s Adult Swim fans,” said

Movie Review: Smile (2022) Will Leave Horror Fans Grinning

Movie Review: Smile (2022) Will Leave Horror Fans Grinning

One of the biggest horror films of the year, Smile, will soon land on 4K Ultra, Blu-ray and DVD. Many have described it as the best horror film of the year, but is it? The film centers on a psychologist who, after witnessing the suicide of a patient claiming to be hunted by an entity that shows itself as a loved one and stranger with a big grin, realizes she’s its next victim. Doctor Rose Cotter, played by Sosie Bacon, sets out to discover the entity’s origins, track its victims to find a survivor, and learn how to escape her fate. If you are a fan of gore, you’re going to like this one. And let me tell you, the scene where the entity is finally revealed is killer! This thing is nasty! Instead of showing the entity throughout the movie, writer-director Parker Finn went with the more impactful horrors, the tension built with subtle signals, the unnerving thought of

'The Birds' Remake Reportedly Lands 'Avengers' Star As Leading Lady

‘The Birds’ Remake Reportedly Lands ‘Avengers’ Star As Leading Lady

Here we go again, another Hollywood remake of a classic. This time, Universal has Alfred Hitchcock‘s The Birds in their sights. Dread Central is reporting that, according to Giant Freaking Robot, the studio has already found its lead, The Avengers’ Scarlet Johannson. The actress will reportedly step into the role of Melanie, initially played by Tippi Hedren in the 1963 classic horror. The strange thing about the reported casting is that Johansson is known for having Ornithophobia, an extreme fear of birds, leaving us to wonder if the news is true. Then again, she would have no fear if the film used CGI birds. We’ll have to wait and see if the info is confirmed. “I’m only scared of birds,” Johansson told New York magazine. “Something about wings and beaks and the flapping. I’m terrified of them.” In the original film, “A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a

First Look Revealed For Season 2 Of “Shadow And Bone” Ahead Of Spring Premiere

The second season of Netflix’s “Shadow and Bone” is finally in sight, coming this Spring, two years after the first season premiere. The first images from the new season have surfaced, along with comments (via Deadline) from the showrunners and more that give us a hint at what’s to come. Showrunner Eric Heisserer: The most wonderful thing about Season Two is that we get to advance the story of these characters that we’d left in precarious positions at the end of Season One. There’s a lot of potential for them this season. They have to face the consequences for their actions, and then they get to meet new people along the way. The Grishaverse also expands in this season, both in mythology and in characters. In doing so, we expand the world, we go to new locations, we visit Novyi Zem and Shu Han, and those are all integral to the narrative. He continues, teasing an expanding world. “The most

Netflix Kills “The Bastard Son And The Devil Himself”

There Netflix goes again, shooting down a pretty decent series after just one season. This time, the streaming giant has axed the British supernatural series “Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.” Now, fans are left with a lot of questions and few answers.

In the series, “Sixteen-year-old Nathan (Jay Lycurgo) is the illegitimate son of the world’s most dangerous and deadly witch. Fearing he will follow in his father’s footsteps, Nathan is closely monitored throughout his childhood.
