The Possession is the Jewish pop reggae version of The Exorcist

The Possession (originally titled Dybbuk Box but called “The Jewish Exorcist movie” by most of America) first intrigued the masses by casting reggae rapper Matisyahu as the religious ghost wrangler, upped the ante with this aggressive poster, and kept us interested with the promise of Jewish mysticism (an unfamiliar take on a tired movie genre)…

Why The Possession cast was terrified of the real “dybbuk box” behind the film

Little known fact: Exorcism film The Possession is based on a real item called a “dybbuk box.” The box, which imprisons evil spirits, made headlines years ago. But when actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Natasha Calis were asked if they wanted to bring the original on set, their reaction was, no thank you. Because it’s…

Warner Bros. must be kicking themselves that they let Joss Whedon get away

Everything about Warner Bros.’ attempt to make a Justice League movie by 2015 feels like a slightly desperate attempt to copy Marvel’s success with The Avengers. Now that Avengers is one of the most money-makingest movies of all time, Warner seems to be more anxious to play catch-up. The latest rumors, that Warner Bros. is…

Behind-the-scenes Godzilla photos were charming, absolutely ridiculous

A wee while ago, we looked at a behind-the-scenes snapshot of Godzilla out for a stroll with a lovely woman on his arm. It’s a fantastic photo certainly, but this tableau was but one of dozens of endearingly weird shots of the famed monster off duty. Here’s a boatload of casual kaiju photos from throughout…

The 10 Most Absurdly Bloody Fight Scenes In Science Fiction Movies

No, sometimes they’re about putting a mutated martial arts master into a dystopian penitentiary’s comically unsafe meat grinder. Just in time for the lunch rush, here are ten of our favorite scenes that balance goofiness and gore. 1. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)…

Watch a Blade Runner-inspired short movie directed by Ridley Scott’s son

As a collaboration with the designers of RED cameras, Luke Scott (the son of Blade Runner director Ridley Scott) has directed the 20-minute science fiction film Loom. This short, which stars Giovanni Ribisi as a laboratory grunt in a dystopian future, aims for atmospherics and openly acknowledges a stylistic debt to Blade Runner. Somewhat NSFW…

When Your Lover Has A Mind-Controlling Spine Blob

It’s bad enough to see random people on the street having their mental energy and creativity siphoned out by horrific advertising blobs — but when it’s your own lover sporting a brain-controlling glob of goop, that’s the worst. This exclusive clip from the new movie Branded shows why it’s not just They Live without the…

Stoned Polish E.T. and twenty more insane old European movie posters

Back in the day, Eastern European posters for English-language science fiction films sometimes rearranged the movies’ plots, jigsaw-style. For example, the Hungarian posters for the Star Wars trilogy transformed Darth Vader’s helmet into an unusually nefarious bundt cake pan. https://gizmodo.com/hungarian-star-wars-posters-advertise-a-movie-starring-5777818 So everyone put your swimming caps on (and Berlitz tapes in the microwave) because we’re…

What if Hermione, Katniss, Michonne and Buffy lived together? Presenting BAMF Girls Club

This 500-pound Darth Vader cake could feed the entire Death Star

Have you ever wondered what Darth Vader would look like if he hailed from Candyland? After building a 300-pound, Imperial-stormtrooper-shaped pastry earlier this year, the bakers at Amanda Oakleaf Cakes upped the ante and recreated Anakin Skywalker out of gâteau. This Sith dessert was served last weekend at the 501st Legion Banquet for Star Wars…

Must Watch: Joss Whedon’s Alternate Opening Sequence for The Avengers

Joss Whedon shot a whole different opening to The Avengers that starts with a debriefing of one very pissed off Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). This version perfectly demonstrates the fractured relationship between Nick Fury and Hill (something the director mentioned was cut down quite a bit in the edit room). We suspect the DVD will…
