Horrors on the high sea are a common enough theme, from Ghost Ship and Deathship to The Haunting of the Mary Celeste and Titanic 666 there are plenty of them. The most recent of these, The Haunting of the Queen Mary opens on Halloween Eve,1938 when the ship’s festivities are replaced with terror as an axe-wielding man hacks his way through its corridors.
The plot then circles back a few hours to show Gwen and David Ratch sneaking into an exclusive party in an attempt to get their daughter Jackie introduced to some Hollywood stars who they hope can help her become the next Shirley Temple.

I usually don’t pay too much attention to what the church has to say, but then The Catholic Review referred to Deliver Us as “A blast furnace of blasphemy” and continued, saying that “Deliver Us” (Magnet), also is an amalgam of gore and nudity.” How could I pass up a film that came so highly recommended?
It certainly opens on a bloody note as a row of kneeling men and women are killed and skinned for the elaborate tattoos on their backs. In a remote Russian convent Sister Yulia awakes from a nightmare of the killings and finds she’s showing the signs of the Stigmata. Even more shocking, she’s pregnant with twins, and still a virgin.

While the second season of "Loki" doesn't skimp on journeys through time and space, there's also a fair number of scenes spent within the confines of the Time Variance Authority, that institution outside of aforementioned space and time that's full of late 1960s decor, including pneumatic tubes and an automat serving up key lime pie.
The distinct feel of the Tva comes in large part from the lighting, and /Film's own Valerie Ettenhofer interviewed the show's cinematographer, Isaac Bauman, about some of his visual inspirations for the look of season 2. It turns out that Bauman turned to some well-known films from a certain time period in order to give "Loki" a similar vibe.

Public opinion towards Marvel isn't exactly at its highest point these days. Stories of overworked VFX teams, pushed release dates, a complicated casting problem, and a seemingly endless onslaught of post-"Endgame" projects have led to a growing public ambivalence towards the expansive franchise. As fans and detractors continue to discuss the evolving function of the MCU, a subset of moviegoers and TV fans have taken to calling the latest Marvel projects "slop," bemoaning a perceived lack of visual flair in particular. While plenty of the above critiques are valid, it seems clear that these people have not been watching "Loki."
The second season of the Tom Hiddleston-led Disney+ series is one of the most visually interesting projects to come from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in years. While your mileage may vary when it comes to the show's trippy time-bending plot and other elements, it shouldn't be controversial to...

It's not out of line to wonder whether we've hit an inflection point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. How many times can a franchise dangle that tantalizing football in front of its fans, coax countless viewers to build up a full head of steam in the hopes of having their sky-high expectations met again and again, and then snatch that prize away right at the last second? Recent history suggests that a shared universe built primarily on the promise of the next big thing to come does, in fact, have an expiration date -- or, at the very least, a moment of truth where over a decade of goodwill finally threatens to run out. After a series of low points poked several glaring holes in the McU's once-impenetrable armor, from divisive entries like "Eternals" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" to unmistakable misfires such as "Thor: Love and Thunder,...

Horror Film School is a new feature in which talent in front of and behind the camera share the ins and outs of creating the biggest onscreen scares.
Creative duo Lee Roy Kunz and Cru Ennis wrote and directed the religious indie horror film “Deliver Us,” which was just released in select theaters and VOD. The story — a nun mysteriously gets pregnant with twins and is investigated by a representative of the Vatican (played by Kunz), worried that one will be the Messiah and one will be the Antichrist — sounds like it would touch on many of the same ideas as other films released this year, such as “The Pope’s Exorcist” and the upcoming “The Exorcist: Believer.” But the visually-stirring work relies on impressive sets, creative camerawork, dynamic lighting and an appreciation for Biblical images in order to maintain a constant sense of fear and unease.

The Los Angeles premiere of “Deliver Us” was held Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at The Landmark Westwood in Los Angeles. Gold Derby associate editor Latasha Ford was on the red carpet to interview star, producer, writer and director Lee Roy Kunz, producer and cinematographer Isaac Bauman and producer and director Cru Ennis. Check out the exclusive red carpet interviews above!
Kunz didn’t originally plan on playing the main character, and admits his revealing nude scene wasn’t easy. “That was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done as an actor,” he says. “We had female nudity so we couldn’t just shoot it with me covered up. I think it added a lot, after he’s done what he’s done, to then be so broken and vulnerable. It’s very Adam and Eve, seeing each other’s nakedness for the first time and accepting all the flaws.”

The retired Rms Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, California is considered one of the most haunted locations in the world — which only somewhat shines through in Gary Shore’s Haunting of the Queen Mary. Any wishes to relive Dark Castle Entertainment levels of production design in Ghost Ship won’t be fulfilled, but that said, Haunting of the Queen Mary is more successful than its brushed-under-the-rug release undersells. Shore and co-writer Tom Vaughan channel the Queen Mary’s grave history for a supernatural infestation that spans decades, complete with atmospheric haunts akin to what’s accomplished in remakes of Thir13en Ghosts or House on Haunted Hill. Proper spookiness prevails, even though the over two-hour length gunks up the film’s gears with subplots that slow momentum.
Alice Eve stars as Anne Calder, who pitches Queen Mary’s Captain Bittner (Dorian Lough) on a virtual 3D tour experience to resurrect the ship’s reputation.

[Editor’s Note: The following interview contains spoilers for the ending of “Channel Zero: No-End House.”]
If you’re still thinking about the finale of the Syfy series “Channel Zero: No-End House” by this time in 2018, not only has series creator and writer Nick Antosca done his job, he’s made the kind of show of which he’s a fan.
“There’s a particular trap you can fall into in telling a horror story where you prioritize in-the-moment scares over character development and psychological depth. It’s more important that the character have a complete and fulfilling journey than you jump. The kind of horror I love is the kind that unsettles me a year after I saw it, when I think about it,” Antosca said in a recent interview with IndieWire.
For him, part of making a more dynamic approach to the No-End House story culminated with The Father, the being that takes on the appearance of Margot’s (Amy Forsyth...

In the first two episodes of its season, Channel Zero: No-End House has sustained the series’ momentum from its spectacular first season to remain one of the best examples of horror storytelling of the decade. The show has turned into must-see-tv, so let’s talk about this week’s new episode, “Beware the Cannibals.” I talk about it every single week, but Channel Zero is one of the most gorgeous pieces of media that I’ve ever consumed. From Isaac Bauman’s cinematography to Steven Piet’s direction to the great set design and more, every aspect of this series is visually incredible. The element that stood
