The original Saw film, created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, was a fresh take on the serial killer and psychological horror genres. It challenged traditional horror storytelling and introduced a villain, John Kramer, who was menacing but not simply a one-dimensional criminal. However, later sequels complicated Kramer’s initial plan, and the franchise lost the qualities that made it so successful. The twists became unbelievable, the traps less thrilling, and audiences stopped connecting with the characters. Now, with Wan returning to direct after Jason Blum took over the series, he’s sharing his plans to revitalize it – and that’s great news for horror fans.

It might not be obvious, but the Back to the Future movies and The Lord of the Rings trilogy actually have a lot in common structurally. While the connection seems strange, and is partly due to actor Elijah Wood appearing in both franchises, both series are built on a similar three-part framework, which is a key reason why they’re both so consistently well-received.

Looking back at this TNT series, it really existed in a unique moment for television. It debuted in 2016, right when viewers still heavily relied on premium channels like HBO and Showtime for their dramatic fix. Streaming services were around, sure, but they hadn’t yet become the all-powerful content providers we know today. Because of that, anything airing on a basic cable network like TNT often flew under the radar, no matter how good it actually was. It’s a shame, because it deserved more attention.

According to Deadline, Caleb McLaughlin hinted at Eleven’s fate during a recent appearance on The View. When asked about what happens to Eleven in the Stranger Things finale, he said, “I think she’s… gone.” He then clarified, explaining that he meant “Rest in peace, Eleven.” McLaughlin and the Duffer Brothers (Ross and Matt) had already discussed this with Millie Bobby Brown, but he believes revealing their intentions would lessen the impact of the ending.

According to Film Music Reporter, Ramin Djawadi is no longer composing the music for Supergirl. Dutch composer Tom Holkenborg, who also goes by Junkie XL, will be taking over the scoring duties, likely because Djawadi was overbooked.

Netflix’s Untamed is heading to Hawaii for its next season, both in terms of setting and where filming will take place. The series is leaving its previous location in Yosemite, as reported by Deadline.

The horror film Iron Lung, released in 2026, has quickly become a surprise box office success. It’s based on the video game of the same name and was entirely funded by Mark Fischbach, a popular YouTuber known as Markiplier, who also wrote, directed, and starred in the movie.

The trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is now available, and it delivers the energetic, cartoon-style action fans have been waiting for. It also offers a first look at brand new areas within the Super Mario Bros. world.

The movie ‘Remain’ is a romantic drama and was the inspiration for Nicholas Sparks’ popular novel with the same title.
