Amazon’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” Series Gets A October Premiere Date

The upcoming James Wan produced “I Know What You Did Last Summer” series officially has a premiere date which was announced during Comic-Con@Home by showrunner Sara Goodman who also shared new details about the show. According to Goodman, the series is “Real, dysfunctional, and completely unpredictable,” as well as promising that the series is packed with “drama, a lot of blood, violence, [and] psychological stuff as well.” There will be blood… also I’ve put little Easter eggs throughout the season for those diehard fans,” Goodman said. “[But] you absolutely do not have to have seen the movie or anything else to be a fan of the show. We have eight episodes to explore these characters who are not just running from a stalker, they are also having relationships and having issues with their families, and they are dealing with their fucking lives. There’s more than just the mystery of who’s after them. It’s very much a mystery of who they

Amazon Celebrates Success Of ‘The Tomorrow World’ With New Killer Poster

To celebrate the success of The Tomorrow War, Amazon has teamed up with Aldis Hodge’s (Brother of The Tomorrow War star Edwin Hodge and Star of One Night in Miami) artist collective, 9B Collective, to create an out of this world poster (above) featuring the film’s main cast. 9B Collective’s Kevin Tong created the final image saying: “Amazon’s THE TOMORROW WAR is at its core, a story about everyday people from all walks of life coming together to fight against an overwhelming threat. The part in the film that best exemplifies that is the portal because it is both a literal and figurative doorway to salvation and everyone goes through it and emerges at the same time, right into the action. The themes of diversity and using a doorway to drop into danger definitely informed this poster. To heighten that sense of danger and to create a stronger feeling of motion, I chose to make the direction of falling diagonal

“Good Omens” Gets Renewed Two Years After Finale

In a twist that we never expected, Amazon has renewed “Good Omens” for a second season after a two-years after season one’s finale. Two reasons that it’s so surprising is that the series was first billed as limited series and another, the first season covered the entire novel it’s based upon. Co-written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet, the new season will deliver a fresh story about the supernatural duo of Michael Sheen‘s (“Masters of Sex”) angel Aziraphale and David Tennant’s (“Doctor Who”) Crowley and their involvement in the apocalypse and with humanity. Both are returning. The new six-episode season will begin production later this year in Scotland and will stream exclusively on Amazon with its premiere likely in 2022. We’ll keep you posted.

Movie Review: The Dustwalker (2019)

Tremors meets Dawn of the Dead meets Alien in writer-director Sandra Sciberras’ sci-fi horror The Dustwalker. In this Aussie film, one by one the residents of a small isolated town become infected, turning into brutal, bloodthirsty zombie-like creatures that are on a mission, spread the infection, or kill everyone they come in contact with, including loved ones. Those who are struggling to survive look to Joanne Sharp (Jolene Anderson), the local chief of police for guidance along with her right-hand man, Luke (Richard Davies). Things go from zero to sixty fast. The blood starts being shed in the first few minutes. Once the chaos begins, there are bodies and blood everywhere. And while the hints that something otherworldly involved pop up bit by bit once the big twist is revealed it’s all-out war. The villain in this tale is a clever combination of imagination, sci-fi, and science. One of the key elements to the infection takes inspiration from nature, the

Review: Amazon's Series "Them" Hits You Like A Sledgehammer

Review: Amazon’s Series “Them” Hits You Like A Sledgehammer

“Them,” set in the 1950s, centers on a black family who moves from their home in North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood during a period known as “The Great Migration.” The family’s new idyllic home soon becomes ground zero for racial prejudice, malevolent otherworldly forces, and other evils that threaten to ravage and destroy them. Honestly, I didn’t make it through the premiere episode on my first try. I couldn’t finish it. I was left emotional and heartbroken. It took me several days to try again, this time I lasted through the end of the premiere and two more episodes before I folded and gave up again. My heart couldn’t take it. A day or two later, I was determined to see it through. I was left angry and depressed, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Billed as a horror series, the show is more about the horrors African Americans have faced than about scares
