Monstrum Is a Creature Feature Filled With Claw Marks and Secretions

What’s better than a period epic filled with martial arts and deadly weapons? A period epic filled with martial arts, deadly weapons, and a giant killer monster, of course. That’s what you get in Monstrum, South Korean director Heo Jong-ho’s Shudder original film coming to the streaming service next week. Set in the 16th century, it…

7 Things I Liked About David Lynch’s Dune (and 8 I Didn’t)

Earlier this year, I set out to read Frank Herbert’s Dune for the first time. This was for two reasons: 1) to be ready for Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation that comes out this December, and 2) so I could finally watch the 1984 David Lynch film. I’d heard legends of this strange, bloated mess, with fish…

Master and Companion FanFic? Doctor Who’s Mandip Gill Is Right There With You

The Master’s debut in season 12 of Doctor Who wasn’t all diabolical laughs and quippy catchphrases. There also seemed to be a bit of sexual tension between “O” (Sacha Dhawan) and Yasmin Khan (Mandip Gill). That’s not by accident, as apparently the actors who were playing those roles totally thought that’s where things were headed.…

13 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Board Games That Are as Gorgeous to Behold as They Are Fun to Play

See Rey Flex Her Jedi Muscle in this Rise of Skywalker Concept Art

Concept art isn’t gospel. Just because a piece of concept art exists does not mean it was ever going to be in the movie. That said, the next best thing to seeing something in a movie is seeing it realized in concept art, and a very cool beat conceived for the end of The Rise…

What We Do in the Shadows’ Scariest Vampire Is Still Giving Us Nightmares

While FX’s vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows is across-the-board delightful, we have a special affection for the show’s “energy vampire,” a character who’s both totally original and instantly recognizable. He’s also pretty terrifying—especially when he gets a sudden power boost. Last night’s “Colin’s Promotion” shifted the focus onto Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch)…
