The horror film *Don’t Breathe*, directed by Fede Álvarez, is now streaming on Peacock as of October 15th after being unavailable for a while. The movie follows a group of teenagers who attempt to rob a blind man, played by Stephen Lang, thinking he’ll be an easy target, but they quickly realize they’ve made a deadly mistake. A sequel, *Don’t Breathe 2*, released in 2021, focuses on the Blind Man and his adopted daughter as they are threatened by someone from their past. However, *Don’t Breathe 2* isn’t currently on Peacock; you can only stream it on Starz.

Even though they started as villains, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has surprisingly done a lot of good, sometimes even more than the X-Men. This proves that a group originally formed with destructive intentions can evolve and become a force for good, benefiting both mutants and humans. The Brotherhood demonstrates that even those labeled as villains are capable of kindness and can occasionally surpass the heroes traditionally tasked with saving the world.

Variety announced today that Kate McKinnon, known for her comedy work on *Saturday Night Live* and in films like *Barbie* and *Yesterday*, will appear in season 3 of *Percy Jackson*. She’s been cast as Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

A recent video showcases new gameplay features, including ‘Burst.’ This mechanic temporarily stops pieces from disappearing after you clear lines, letting you build a higher score. It’s different from the Zone in *Tetris Effect* because, in addition to freezing the board, Burst also lifts nearby blocks of the opposite color into the air before they fall back down.

The movie *Kpop Demon Hunters* is returning to theaters for one weekend, according to *The Wrap*. It will be shown at AMC, Regal, and Cinemark cinemas from Friday, October 31st, through Sunday, November 2nd.

The new game, *Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes*, was revealed at Gamescom in August. Indie developer Alt Shift and publisher Dometu shared some initial details then. This game is different from previous *Battlestar Galactica* titles, offering a unique “roguelite” experience where players make important story choices. Now, a brand-new gameplay trailer gives us a closer look at what to expect.
