The Saw franchise is one of horror’s bloodiest. More torture than horror, Saw may be an acquired taste, but the series stands on some genuine merits. While the first film’s critical reception was rather middling, it still pulled off an incredible plot twist while telling a humble, fairly tense, story. Saw II felt similarly grounded, but it undeniably widened the series’ scope. By Saw III, Jigsaw being given an epic send off and each subsequent entry would indulge deeper into what Saw fans wanted to see: traps....

Plenty of famous movies have had posters with strange designs, art, or just plain bad photoshops, however, there is another realm of bad posters that go so far past visually unappealing that they circle back up to hilarious. These posters have a bonus attribute of being for low-budget films that have remained underseen, at least due in some part to their posters. Many of these posters feel like the designer in charge went with the first draft, while others feel like an unfortunate amount of work probably went into the eventual final disaster....

You either love or hate scary movies. There’s a certain amount of thrill that comes with the rapid heartbeat and anticipation of the antagonist popping out from around the corner. Scary movies have been the focal point of the Halloween season and some are just fanatics of the genre with some of their favorites being A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th or Saw. Horror/thriller films have only gotten better, but sometime they can’t beat the classics....

We all love a good biopic film, and they’re making waves in Hollywood lately. Maybe we all have our favorite sub-genre of biography movies, but we all know we could get behind a decent presidential one. While there are many fictional, comedic, or downright dramatic films regarding the presidency, we decided to focus on actual biopics of the famous leaders behind the United States of America. So if you’re looking for a historical and political binge, here are 10 U....

After being noticeably absent in the previous Avengers movie, Hawkeye is returning in Avengers: Endgame with some noticeable changes.

Films play a huge role in the world of The Simpsons. They give writers a shot to parody overused tropes in film or provide characters like Rainier Wolfcastle, Krusty the Clown and even Milhouse with ways to show off their acting chops. Fictional films in The Simpsons range from comedic, to action-packed, to even the occasional erotic film. Sure, these films might not end up winning any Academy Awards or even be considered for the Criterion Collection, but these movies would make some serious bank if they were real....

The ’70s was an amazing time to watch films, as the studio system of the ’50s and ’60s was starting to break down, and a new breed of filmmaker arrived.

MCU fans went wild the other day when it was reported that Taika Waititi had been spotted taking Ryan Gosling out for lunch, because Waititi was recently confirmed to be writing and directing the fourth Thor movie and we all know that in Hollywood, lunch doesn’t just mean lunch – it means that movie stars are being pitched potential projects, contracts are being drafted up by agents and lawyers, and deals are being made....

Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, is and always will be a fan-favorite to many. His loss deeply affected the MCU and its fans; there’s only so many times we can watch him die on-screen.

Fantasy has never been a major, crowd-pleasing genre. Outside of The Lord of the Rings, very few fantasy stories have broken into the mainstream. That is, until now. It seems like the 2010s were rife with popular fantasy epics, including The Witcher and Game of Thrones. Maybe not even show (and certainly not every episode) were winners, but there’s no denying that fantasy has seen a major resurgence both in terms of popularity and quality....
