Airbnb seems to be the new go-to scary location for Gen Z horror films. After all, a double-booked Airbnb was used to great effect in Zach Cregger’s Barbarian, and now it’s the setting of what’s being called an “erotic horror thriller” called Bone Lake, which is directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan (Shudder’s Spoonful of Sugar).

After years of rumors, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is going full steam ahead on a reboot series, that will see Sarah Michelle Gellar reprise her iconic role, alongside a new slayer played by the newly cast Ryan Kiera Armstrong. However, one thing on the minds of many old school fans is whether or not any classic characters might join Gellar in the reboot.

God, I miss video stores. Kids these days don’t appreciate what a big deal these places were if you grew up in the eighties and nineties. There was no streaming, and we had to rely on what played on TV – randomly – to see movies we wanted to check out, unless of course we went to THE VIDEO STORE. I was born in ’81, and vividly remember spending much of my youth wandering the aisles, looking at box art. Heck, even if I didn’t want to rent a movie, I still went to the video store to hang out.

A few months ago, at the Sundance Film Festival, I was lucky enough to attend the world premiere of Michael Shanks’s Together, a body horror flick that stars real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie. In it, they play a co-dependent couple who find themselves physically bonding in horrifying ways too good to spoil in a story like this. You can read our review HERE but the film caused enough of a sensation that Neon snapped it up and are releasing it as their big summer horror flick.

Netflix’s movies – to me, anyway – always fall neatly into two categories. There are the big audience blockbusters, such as The Electric State, Carry-On, and the upcoming The Old Guard 2 and Happy Gilmore 2, and then there’s the prestige fare. Sometimes the two categories meet, such as with the Knives Out movies, but for the most part, they are distinct.

It was fantastic but let it be a one-off. More eager to see what Coogler does next totally unleashed, with a huge cachet as an auteur than some sequel.

#HurryUpTomorrow - sets a record for the amount of times a lead actor cries in a movie. The Weeknd literally cries a gallon of tears. I laughed uncontrollably during the climax. And he has the audacity to play himself. No one loves The Weeknd as much as The Weeknd!
