Spoiler-Free Reviews: AnyMart and A Weapon in My Heart (Jeonju International Film Festival 2026)

Spoiler-Free Reviews: AnyMart and A Weapon in My Heart (Jeonju International Film Festival 2026)

AnyMart (Japan, 2026) Official Synopsis Sakai, the protagonist, works as an assistant manager at a local convenience store. Outside of work, he lives a quiet, routine life — playing online games and using dating apps — having spent most of his twenties tied to the store. The store is his entire world. And yet, beyond its doors, the world itself seems to be coming to an end. Review Shõta Sometani as Sakai, a clerk at the convenience store owned by his gruff, stick-to-corporate-rules father, gives a fine performance. His character is all but dead on the inside at work, and not much motivated socially or otherwise outside of his job, although he attempts romantic connections, awkward though they may be. Sometani nails this everyman character as writer/director Yusuke Iwasaki uses the konbini and his protagonist as a representation of the frustrations of twentysomething life in modern Japan. The kills are sudden and often shocking, the gore is impressive, and the

Netflix’s Upgrades Their Gaming Section with the Interactive Title 'Unhinged'

Netflix’s Upgrades Their Gaming Section with the Interactive Title ‘Unhinged’

Let’s be honest: up until now, nobody has been renewing their Netflix subscription for the gaming section. It’s mostly been a quiet graveyard of mobile ports and synergy-heavy TV tie-ins. But that’s about to change with Unhinged. Unhinged is a unique interactive horror experience. It’s one that aggressively blurs the line between prestige cinema and video games. The streaming giant is finally delivering a “trans-media” experiment with actual legs. And best of all? The barrier to entry is delightfully low. You don’t need a $500 console; you need an active subscription and the smartphone currently glued to your hand. What Exactly Is Unhinged? While Unhinged lives in the “Netflix Games” tab, don’t expect to be doing any complex button-mashing. Minimal, high-immersion interactivity is the name of the game here. After scanning a QR code on your TV, your smartphone transforms into the controller, seamlessly tracking your movements to control the protagonist’s hands. Suddenly, your phone is a literal flashlight, guiding

Samuel Goodwin’s Directorial Debut, Cut Your Teeth, Casts Riley Dandy

The indie horror scene is about to get a little sharper. FX master Samuel Goodwin is officially stepping behind the camera to make his feature directorial debut with the upcoming psychological slashfest, Cut Your Teeth. According to a new report from Deadline, the production has locked down its leading lady in Riley Dandy.
