As a critic, I’ve seen countless sci-fi action films, and let me tell you, nailing that blend is hard. When it works, though, the payoff is huge – these movies can become massive hits. But even a genuinely good sci-fi action flick can get lost in the shuffle, becoming overlooked or seriously underrated. It’s frustrating, because it means there’s a whole treasure trove of fantastic movies out there that hardly anyone talks about – films that deserve a lot more attention than they get.

The annual Halloween special of The Simpsons, known as Treehouse of Horror, is famous for killing off characters, but this year’s episode felt especially violent to many viewers. All three stories featured a large number of deaths, and the ‘Clown Night With the Devil’ segment was particularly graphic and disturbing. Writer Mike Price recently told Cracked that he intentionally made this year’s special more shocking and bloody.

There aren’t as many major announcements this time around, but with exciting games like The Outer Worlds 2, the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, and the remastered Tales of Xillia, there’s still plenty to get excited about.

This year, many Pokemon Go players are successfully finding Shiny Sinistea, and even the rarer Shiny Authentic Sinistea is appearing fairly often. However, the new Pokemon Poltchageist is proving to be extremely rare, leading some players to wonder if the first part of the Halloween event ended sooner than expected. While Poltchageist isn’t showing up on the in-game map, it is still available as part of the event until October 27th, so it’s unclear why it feels so hard to find.

David Lynch’s debut feature film, Eraserhead, became available to stream on Tubi on October 6th. The critically acclaimed, black-and-white surrealist horror film has an 87% rating from critics and an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Known as one of Lynch’s most unusual movies, it stars Jack Nance as Henry Spencer, a man struggling to cope with his job, his girlfriend, and the birth of his strangely deformed baby. The film also features performances by Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near, and Jack Fisk, and has gained a devoted cult following.

The Justice Society of America has a long and impressive history filled with fantastic stories – from classic tales of its early days to more recent adventures that showcase why it’s considered the greatest superhero team ever. Over the years, readers have enjoyed countless brilliant stories about the JSA, and today we’re highlighting seven of the very best. These chapters will demonstrate exactly why the Justice Society of America stands above the rest.

The movie Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has been successful in Japan, and it recently premiered in the United States and Canada. Early box office numbers are promising, suggesting a strong start for the new film from Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Currently, only five of Bruce Willis’s last movies are available on the most popular streaming services (known as the “Big 7”), and they’re spread across three different platforms. Hulu has his 2022 films Paradise City and Wrong Place, while Prime Video offers Corrective Measures (with Michael Rooker) and Wire Room (also starring Kevin Dillon). If you want to watch Survive the Night, a 2020 thriller with Chad Michael Murray and Shea Buckner, you’ll need to stream it on HBO Max before October 31st, as it’s scheduled to be removed then.

Director Michelle Garza Cervera recently spoke with ComicBook about her vision for the remake. While she initially revisited the original film for inspiration, she quickly decided to treat this as a new project, not just a copy. “I watched the original when I first got the job to see what elements I could use,” Cervera explained, “but then I asked everyone on the team to avoid rewatching it so we wouldn’t fall into the trap of simply trying to recreate the original.”

A popular post on the Ghost of Tsushima subreddit discusses a disappointing aspect of the Ghost of Yotei expansion. The post focuses on the companions, known as the “Wolf Pack,” and argues that a promising idea wasn’t fully realized. The main problem is that these characters don’t feel essential to the story, and players don’t develop meaningful connections with them.
