In 1974 Texas filmmaker Tobe Hooper drew inspiration from America's preeminent serial killer, Ed Gein & gave birth to a new American Nightmare, Leatherface.
As Season Five of The Walking Dead kicks off, Gimple gets the band back together and drives home the simple fact that Carol is a badass and that Rick was wrong.
There are very few film series out there about which you can say every single installment is a must-see, but Raimi, and now Alvarez, have done just that with Evil Dead.
Season Four is kind of a game-changer, moving Adventure Time into more complex emotional territory as well as opening up more intriguing narrative opportunities.
It’s a nice moment both narratively and visually for The Strain, allowing director Peter Weller to really shine, despite the dullness of a lackluster script.
And unfortunately, so far in The Strain (11 episodes in to a 13-episode season!!) we’re being teased with classic vampire action, but are being hampered by clichés and characters that just don’t add anything to the story.
So if you were one of the people who stuck with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from the beginning, you should be patting yourselves on the back right about now.
On the plus side, when it was good, it was really good. Unfortunately it also meandered around, wasted a lot of time, and fell back on a couple of what are becoming standardized Strain clichés.
There’s a sense of tragic loss underlying nearly every scene that’s compounded by questions of culpability and guilt that builds right up to the rolling of the credits.
