No More Heroes, Deadly Premonition Creators Team Up for a Horror Game

No More Heroes creator Goichi "Suda51" Suda and Deadly Premonition creator Hidetaka "Swery65" Suehiro have announced that they are developing a horror game together - in an appropriately strange way.

On an IGN Japan stream, the creators revealed that they had been planning a food-themed PlayStation VR game which was cancelled, but will now collaborate on a new idea.

In 2018, the two creators decided to go ahead with the idea of working together, but would apparently continually meet to discuss ideas, get drunk, and forget what they'd talked about. Today's event was designed to force them to discuss something.

4 Reasons You Need to Keep Watching HBO’s Watchmen

Whether you loved the first episode of HBO's Watchmen, like I did, or found it intriguing but imperfect, like mentioned here in the IGN review, one thing's certain: Damon Lindelof's new show is a head-scratcher.

Lindelof drops viewers off in the world of Watchmen (specifically the comics' version, not the movie's) 34 years after the events fans are familiar with, with three decades worth of alternate history and alternate politics to catch up on. It's confusing, but purposefully so. Your enjoyment level of the pilot will correlate with how much you can stand not knowing up front.

Adam Driver May Take Over Ben Affleck’s Role in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel

Star Wars actor Adam Driver may be replacing Ben Affleck in Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel,” co-starring Matt Damon.

Variety reports that Affleck has moved from a leading role to a supporting role alongside Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer. Scheduling conflicts with Affleck’s previously arranged commitment, the film Deep Water, led to the change.

The film is a revenge story focusing on a pair of knights in 14th Century France. One of the knights returns from war, when his wife (Comer) reveals that the other knight sexually assaulted her. Thus ensues a struggle for justice, with the first knight asking the king of France to undo a previous decision and allow him to duel the other knight to the death. If he loses, the wife will be burned at the stake as punishment for her accusation.

Netflix’s Eli Ending Explained

As teased in my review of Eli, the latest Netflix and Chills offering is a horror film that hopscotches into a couple of different spooky subgenres. The premise of a boy "allergic to the world" sequestered in a creepy old house where he's forced to undergo painful medical procedures blends elements of body horror, haunted house scares, and psychological thriller. Then in the third act, the truth behind Eli's "condition" is revealed along with its final subgenre, religious horror.

But after all that, this sinister final twist can be a lot to take in. So, let's break it down.
