From a crowded field of horror movies, a handful truly made a lasting impression – the ones people still discuss and debate years later. These films changed what audiences expect from scary movies, both in theaters and at home. Here are 5 standout horror films from the last ten years that seem destined to become classics and remain memorable for years to come.
As a huge Zelda fan, I’ve come across some seriously mind-blowing theories lately! They completely reframe how we think about Link, Zelda, and Ganon, and the whole world of Hyrule. Some theories hint that we’ve been missing clues right under our noses, while others give really emotional, satisfying endings to stories that were left open. I wanted to share five of the most fascinating Zelda fan theories and explain how they could change everything we thought we knew about the series.
The first trailer and details for Darkwood 2 are now available! The original Darkwood, released eight years ago, is a top-down horror game made by indie developer Acid Wizard Studio. Though it didn’t become an instant hit, it gained popularity through recommendations and now has a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with almost 10,000 reviews. Interestingly, Darkwood 2 is being developed by Ice-Pick Lodge, the creators of the Pathologic series, while members of Acid Wizard Studio will still offer their expertise as consultants.
Fans were thrilled by his surprising return to action, as he rejoined the fight against All For One after rescuing All Might. While the exact number of episodes in the final season is still unknown, it’s likely to have between 11 and 13, now that the story is wrapping up. The studio hasn’t announced the episode count, but the anime’s official website did reveal that the final season will be released on Blu-ray in two parts. And even as the anime nears its conclusion, a major anime and manga convention in Japan has some exciting announcements planned for fans.
For me, Inferno was an absolute knockout, and honestly, it felt like the peak of what the X-Men could be. Jonathan Hickman really hit his stride, teaming up with incredible artists like Valerio Schiti, R.B. Silva, and Stefano Caselli. The story was so emotionally resonant, but still had that signature Hickman flair for big, crazy sci-fi ideas. It was a truly brilliant run that, I think, doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s easily one of the best things Marvel published in the 2020s, and it marked the end of the most creatively exciting period of the Krakoa Era. It laid the groundwork for everything that happened with the mutants after that, and later writers definitely built on the ideas Hickman introduced.
After a long wait, the battle royale mode for the latest Battlefield has unexpectedly launched. It’s available as a free-to-play game called Battlefield REDSEC, part of Season 1 for Battlefield. You don’t need to buy the main game to play it – REDSEC is a standalone experience with more than just battle royale. It also features a new player-versus-player mode called Gauntlet, which is highly competitive and fast-paced, but gives you multiple lives. Beyond these modes, the game includes other interesting features and surprises.
A unique new event in Japan will give 15 randomly selected fans the chance to ‘marry’ a character from the popular Yakuza (Like a Dragon) video game series.
Here is an overview of the game, via The Sledding Corporation:
I was reading an interview with Jesse Eisenberg over at ComicBook, and he was talking about Zombieland 3. He said he’d totally be up for doing another one! He pointed out that it’s been about ten years since the last Zombieland movie, and only three years before that. He seems to think we’ll probably see more Now You See Me films before another Zombieland, but he’s definitely interested in revisiting it eventually.
Often, The Walking Dead eliminates characters when their storyline feels complete. A good example is Sasha Williams, a long-time member of Rick Grimes’ group who tragically becomes a walker after confronting Negan, and is ultimately killed by her friends. However, Sasha isn’t alone; other characters meet a similar end after the show resolves their individual story arcs.
