Wrinkles, Wrath, and Weapons: A Spoiler-Free Review of Netflix’s “The Boroughs”
The Duffer Brothers have officially traded in the teenage angst and D&D campaigns for a New Mexico retirement community in “The Boroughs“. And I have some thoughts. If you loved the high-stakes chaos, rich character development, and retro charm of the Duffer brothers’ “Stranger Things,” you’ll love this. Rest assured: “The Boroughs“ may feature a lot more gray hair and a soundtrack that leans heavily toward soft-rock anthems. But these seniors are alive, kicking, and infinitely more relatable than a bunch of middle-schoolers. Netflix is officially locking in Season 2. So, it is time to face the facts: the golden years are about to get bloody. Prepare to watch a bunch of retirees fight for their lives against entities far more terrifying than inflation and bad knees. What’s the Story? Season one kicks off with Sam Coope, a cynical fresh arrival who views this sun-drenched senior haven less as a relaxing retreat and more as a beautifully landscaped, minimum-security prison.

David Mitchell’s ‘The End of Oak Street’ Trailer Unleashes Dinosaurs on Suburbia
If you’ve ever looked at your peaceful suburban neighborhood and thought, “This place is nice, but it could really use prehistoric apex predators,” director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) is about to fulfill your highly specific wish.

‘Evil Dead Wrath’ Wraps Production and Announces Release Date
If you thought the Necronomicon was done ruining family vacations and apartment complexes, think again. The bloodiest franchise in horror history is currently working overtime. Warner Bros. and New Line are making sure we don’t run out of blood and deadites anytime soon. Franchise fans are already hyperventilating over director Sébastien Vaniček’s upcoming Evil Dead Burn, which hits theaters next month on July 10. But we’ve just received confirmation that yet another standalone nightmare has officially wrapped production. Get ready to swallow some more souls.

Movie Review: Blood River/River of Blood: Prime Video Flat Out Lied to Me
This past weekend, I was scrolling through Prime Video, looking for a good scare. I saw a shiny little badge declaring Blood River (aka River of Blood) as the current #1 horror movie on the service, and I made the catastrophic mistake of hitting play. Now? I am fully convinced that Prime Video’s ranking algorithm is a pathological liar fueled by chaos. We need to talk about this movie, directed by Howard J. Ford and written by Tom Boyle, because I wasted an hour of my life that I can never get back, and my level of annoyance is currently breaking the scale. It’s not even one of those delightfully campy, “so bad it’s good” neighborhood masterpieces. No, friends. It’s just flat-out, aggressively bad. The Plot: An Infidelity Soap Opera… With Cannibals The setup is a beautifully unhinged trainwreck. A group of “friends” embarks on a jungle expedition with a local guide. To maximize the drama, two members of the

Movie Review: Lionsgate’s ‘Beast’ is an Action-Packed Knockout with Heart
If you think you’ve seen every possible iteration of the grizzled, washed-up fighter crawling back into the cage for “one last round,” Lionsgate’s new mixed martial arts movie, Beast, is here to challenge your stamina. Directed by Tyler Atkins, the film aims to prove that while the redemption arc might be a tale as old as time, a fresh coat of paint and some heavy-hitting star power can still make it a total blast. The narrative blueprint is a lean, classic underdog setup. We follow Patton James (Daniel MacPherson), a once-feared, retired MMA champion. Patton’s pulled back into the world of flying knees and chokeholds for cash and to avenge his brother. However, to fix it, Patton must reunite with Sammy (Russell Crowe), the bitter trainer who originally sculpted him into a legend. The ultimate objective? One final, apocalyptic showdown. He faces the reigning titleholder, Xavier Grau (Bren Foster). He’s a man with whom Patton shares a bloody and brutal
