Patrick Leret: Red Skull Death and Comic Survival
The Avengers: Infinity War prequel comic may contain evidence that the Red Skull is still alive in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Probably the MCU’s greatest flaw is the fact the movies tend to churn through their villains quite quickly. It’s actually quite rare for a Marvel villain to survive; even their best films tend to kill the bad guys off in swift order. That’s led to a lot of frustration among fans who know that many of these villains could easily go on to become recurring threats.
The classic example is, of course, the Red Skull. Introduced in Captain America: The First Avenger, the Red Skull was the founder of Hydra. ...

Now Scream This: 10 Streaming Horror Movies About Inanimate Objects That Want to Kill You

Image
(Welcome to  Now Scream This , a column where horror experts Chris Evangelista and Matt Donato tell you what scary, spooky, and spine-tingling movies are streaming and where you can watch them.) Matt: With MGM’s Child’s Play reboot opening this week, Chris and I jumped at the chance to suggest streaming horror flicks where the antagonist is, in some way, an inanimate object. The film’s villain may be a house, or a piece of furniture, or an auto part for heaven’s sake. All of those films exist, most in multiple iterations. Sometimes evil spirits possess human vessels; other times they bring unspeakable damnation to satin-sheeted beds as comfortable as they are deadly. Can you blame horror cinema for getting a little creative? Chris: I’m a big fan of possessed/cursed/haunted object movies, so I was excited to dig into this topic. Then I realized a lot of these movies are, well…bad. But I think Matt and I did a fine job of gathering together the best of the bunch. Especially me...

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: This Week In Trailers: Wolfman’s Got Nards, New York Asian Film Festival, Daddy Issues, We The Animals, Moss

Image
Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week we visit an Asian film festival, revisit Monster Squad , visit three brothers from another mother, look deep inside ourselves in a small town, and get our freak on. Wolfman’s Got Nards Just when you thought you had heard everything there is to hear about Monster Squad , a seminal film for many budding cineastes, director Andre Gower is here to give you a little more. Even though Gower was in front of the camera for the original, what you can see in this trailer is someone who has reverence and love for a movie that just will not die. For those of us who revere this box-office bomb, which was written by Shane Black for ...
