Only a year after Halloween Kills debuted in theaters, its sequel and concluding film of the Halloween (2018) legacy reboot trilogy, Halloween Ends, premieres today. 2018's Halloween was a direct sequel to the original Halloween (1978) ignoring any other canon storylines that already happened. It achieved what felt like an impossible task-- it somehow felt like a fresh beginning to tell new Michael Myers stories, while still being a great film to honor the legacy of the or

When Olivia Wilde’s sophomore directing effort Don’t Worry Darling was announced to be a horror film off the heels of the wildly popular Booksmart back in 2019, I was both intrigued and excited. But when Florence Pugh was cast and I was sold. For Pugh, this seemed like an excellent choice after her major success in the genre previously with Midsommar, and for Wilde seeing her tackle another genre after succeeding with a coming-of-age comedy felt exciting.

It's been nearly a decade since a new Baz Luhrmann film graced the screens of cinemas. The last time was in 2013 with his glitzy, raucous adaptation of The Great Gatsby . The film had originally been slated for a winter 2012 release but was later pushed back to the following summer--signaling a studio that didn't have confidence in its awards chances. When Gatsby finally came out, it was greeted with mixed reviews from critics, but generally warm reception from general audi
