Released in 2006, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon quickly became a beloved film among horror enthusiasts. This unique movie plays with the slasher genre, presenting it as a documentary following a killer and his victims, and referencing classic horror films.

Stieve, and stars Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals, and Robert Englund are all returning. While a release date hasn’t been announced, the filmmakers plan to use Kickstarter to fund the project and bring the sequel to life.

The new series, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, has been well-received, earning an 82% score from critics (based on 33 reviews) and a 75% audience score (from over 50 ratings).

Malcolm in the Middle appears to be one of the revivals that is successfully capturing the spirit of the original.

Scheduled for release on May 8, 2026, Mortal Kombat II is a much bigger and more ambitious film than the first. The story focuses on Emperor Shao Kahn (played by Martyn Ford) and his attempt to take over Earthrealm. This forces the heroes to fight through the entire tournament while dealing with dangers from all sides. To reflect this increased scope, the sequel features a wider range of villains from the Mortal Kombat games, bringing many of the most recognizable characters to the big screen.

Even though Pokémon started as a game you played alone, it’s always emphasized connecting with others. This is especially true in newer games like Pokémon Go, where you often need to team up with large groups to win challenging Raid battles. The series has always balanced solo play with social interaction, and that balance seems to have found its peak in Pokémon Champions.

Just consider Doom Patrol, which gave us a reality-bending strongman and a living street offering refuge to the unusual.

Alexandre Aja’s Crawl is a standout animal thriller, featuring a desperate fight for survival against alligators in a flooded space during a massive hurricane. Netflix’s new film, Thrash, which premiered on April 10th, follows a similar premise.

The story focuses on a pregnant woman and a teenager with extreme anxiety as they struggle to survive being stranded.

Homelander is still obsessed with Starlight, and Vought and the White House are counting on her to be the biggest obstacle to their messaging.

In fact, a character who could be key to the fight has been quietly building strength in the first two episodes of the final season, hinting at a major return. Ultimately, the series needs to conclude with Homelander confronting his son.
