Warner Bros. rolled out a new ad for Digger that is trying yet another approach to market the tough-to-sell Alejandro G. Iñárritu film.

In a remote village, Nawojka grapples with dark urges she believes stem from an ancestral curse. Her world shifts when Sandra moves in next door, offering a glimpse of freedom from her family’s rigid control.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu has never been a filmmaker particularly interested in playing things safe.

Digger continues that tradition, but takes Iñárritu into much stranger territory. Part satirical black comedy, part…

Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Digger (read our review here) was supposed to be one of the biggest box-office events of the year.

In many cases, we’re spoiled when it comes to live-action offerings, but what about animation? Today, we’re looking back on 2015, the year everyone started using peach and…

Before the world knew his face, Tom Hardy was trying to find his voice. Then Hollywood came calling, and the kid with the rap tapes became the man behind Bane’s mask, the man strapped into Mad Max’s muzzle, the man wearing the flight helmet in Dunkirk, and the man inside all of that Venom goo.

Whether it’s Friday the 13th Part 3, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, or even Jaws 3-D, going into the third dimension feels like a rite of passage for many horror franchises. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but what type of film is better suited to having objects fly at the screen than horror? And despite being…

So it turns out that the summer of the shark should have actually been the summer of the snake all along. Because there’s one creature feature that stands above the rest, providing plenty of thrills, scares, and chaos, Beware Boiúna. After last year’s Anaconda, it really felt like any kind of serious take would be…
