Blumhouse Sequel Favors ‘90s-Inspired Action Over Horror

3 days ago | discussingfilm.net | Bill Bria

M3GAN (2022) was full of surprises, both literally and figuratively. The horror movie was born from the combination of two pre-existing parts. Firstly, the “killer doll” trope has existed at least as far back as 1945’s Dead of Night and has only continued thanks to the popularity of the Chucky franchise that began with 1988’s Child’s Play. Secondly, the “killer A.I.” trope may be relatively more recent, but it is no less uncommon.
'28 Years Later' Review

1 week ago | discussingfilm.net | Bill Bria

In November 2002, 28 Days Later was released in cinemas in the UK. 23 years later… director Danny Boyle has gone on to make eight more feature films and has won an Academy Award. The writer of 28 Days Later, Alex Garland, is now well-known as a director in his own right and has helmed some of the most thought-provoking movies of the last decade. The zombie subgenre of horror, begun by George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968, had lain dormant for nearly a decade before 28 Days Later.
'F1: The Movie' Review

1 week ago | discussingfilm.net | Bill Bria

Late in F1 (also titled F1: The Movie, so that Formula 1 racing fans know the FIA is officially behind this production), Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) has a moment of introspection with old pal and onetime rival Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) after a near-fatal incident. “What’s wrong with tennis?” Ruben laments, putting into words a criticism of himself and everyone around him who have devoted their lives to participating in a sport which is foolhardy at the best of times.
Dean DeBlois Gives Exciting Update on 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' Live-Action Remake (EXCLUSIVE)

1 week ago | discussingfilm.net | Andrew J. Salazar

Universal and DreamWorks’ live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon came in above expectations on opening week, earning $83.7M domestically and $197.8M worldwide. This impressive box office start broke a new record as the biggest opening ever for the franchise. Neither this news nor the high critical acclaim came as a surprise to fans, though.
Toothless' Live-Action Design Almost "Went Too Far" Says 'How To Train Your Dragon' Director (EXCLUSIVE)

2 weeks ago | discussingfilm.net | Andrew J. Salazar

When writer-director Dean DeBlois agreed to return and helm a live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake for Universal, one unique “Toothless” challenge rose above the rest. Of course, having the creator of the original DreamWorks animated trilogy tell this story again established a certain level of trust for diehard fans. However, many things were still uncertain, such as how these characters would translate in the live-action medium.
Ari Aster’s Extremely Polarizing, Dark American Satire

2 weeks ago | discussingfilm.net | Ben Rolph

In his latest black comedy, writer-director Ari Aster plunges audiences into an ultra-realistic world. The fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico is Aster’s setting of choice to explore nearly every hot social issue and historical consequence that shook the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing, the Black Lives Matter movement, right-wing politics, social media protests, and Antifa are all tackled in his audacious screenplay.
'Arcane' Creators Reflect on the Netflix Show's Massive Cultural Impact and What's Next (EXCLUSIVE)

2 weeks ago | discussingfilm.net | Britany Murphy

To call Arcane a win for animation would be an understatement. The Netflix original series took the world by storm when it premiered on the streaming service in November 2021. Set in the League of Legends universe, created by Riot Games, Arcane is a steampunk fantasy set in the escalating unrest between the affluent city of Piltover and the neglected undercity of Zaun.
'How to Train Your Dragon' Review

2 weeks ago | discussingfilm.net | Andrew J. Salazar

Live-action remakes of popular animated films have devolved into soulless cash grabs over the last decade. This is mainly thanks to Disney‘s ouroboros-like strategy of recycling its iconic animated library to generate a guaranteed profit from nostalgia. Coming after this year’s Snow White and Lilo & Stitch remakes, it’s easy to initially disregard How to Train Your Dragon (2025) as an inevitable start to the next chapter of Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy.
'Predator: Killer of Killers' Review

3 weeks ago | discussingfilm.net | Andrew J. Salazar

It’s been three years since Prey (2022) proved there was still far more to explore in the Predator franchise. Where some saw little potential in the IP after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, others, like filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane), knew that previous Predator movies had been teasing a rich universe beyond our imaginations. A universe full of ruthless interplanetary hunters that fans were sometimes promised to see more of, but ultimately never did… until now.
'Die, My Love' Review - Jennifer Lawrence Makes a Powerful Return in a Raw, if Uneven Ode to Motherhood

3 weeks ago | discussingfilm.net | Yasmine Kandil

The postpartum experience almost feels like a lottery. For those women who draw the short straw, it’s as if a certain kind of dread creeps in quietly, not with loud scares or overt tragedy but through the slow unraveling of everyday life. Die, My Love (2025), the first movie from acclaimed Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin, Ratcatcher) since her 2017 neo-noir psychological thriller You Were Never Really Here, taps into these bursts of mundane terror.
