Film industry cynics may take one look at a newly announced low-budget comedy called Barbenheimer and a poster that uses Barbie’s iconic pink font over a picture of a nuclear explosion and features the tagline “D-Cup, A-Bomb,” and immediately assume it’s simply a shameless attempt to cash in on a very recent cultural phenomenon. And those cynics would be absolutely correct, says Charles Band, the prolific B-movie icon who has been making low-budget horror comedies since the early 1970s.
“It’s 100 percent true,” he says. “But it’s also an opportunity to have fun with the bizarre coupling of these two movies and the combination of Barbie’s vibe and the darkness of Oppenheimer. You mix that together and you have such an opportunity for dark humor.”

Today, Netflix announced that Henry Cavill will star as Geralt of Rivia in their upcoming Witcher series. In August, Cavill had shown interest in playing the character during an interview with IGN. Cavill is a big gamer, So IGN asked what he had been playing recently, to which he responded "The Witcher 3. I just replayed all the way through, Love that game. Really good game."
IGN then went on to ask Cavill if he would be interested in playing Geralt in a Witcher series. Of course, he responded "Absolutely. Yeah, that would be an amazing role." Some think this is a wrong move and Cavill is not right for the role but after the amazing job he did in Mission Impossible: Fallout I have to disagree! Not only did he...

Yuji Naka, the programmer and designer behind the classic Sonic The Hedgehog, has joined Final Fantasy firm Square Enix...
When it comes to Sega, no other game summed up the company's height of success better than Sonic The Hedgehog. The game that turned the Mega Drive (or Genesis) into a true competitor to the Super Nintendo, Sonic The Hedgehog and its blue, spiky hero became the driving force behind Sega's expansion in North America and Europe.

One of the key figures behind that game was Yuji Naka, a designer and programmer who'd worked on a string of titles at Sega since the mid-80s. Although he was far from well-known even at the time, Naka worked behind the scenes on the coding for such hits as Alex Kidd In Miracle World (Sega's unofficial mascot, at least before Sonic ousted him) Phantasy Star I and II,...

A reimagining of the breakout hit manga, Tokyo Ghoul comes to select UK cinemas on January 31st courtesy of Anime Ltd.
Directed by Kentarô Hagiwara, Tokyo Ghoul stars Masataka Kubota (“Death Note” TV Drama, “Rurouni Kenshin”), Fumika Shimizu (“Kamen Rider Fourze”, “The Dragon Dentist”), Yū Aoi (“Rurouni Kenshin”, “The Case of Hana & Alice”), Noboyuki Suzuki (“Gto: Great Teacher Onizuka”), and Yo Oizumi (“Spirited Away”, “Professor Layton” franchise)
Quiet and bookish, Ken Kaneki (Masataka Kubota) was all but dead to a world living in fear of “Ghouls”: creatures who not only share our skin, but crave its taste. When a nightmarish encounter leaves him a human-ghoul hybrid however, Ken finds himself taken under the wing of those he once considered monsters and fighting to protect them from a vengeful hunger that will leave him asking what it truly means to be inhuman.

Horror games have been around since the early 1970s. Let's take a look back at the birth of one of gaming's most popular genres...
More than 40 years since the first horror game hit arcades, the genre is still going strong. Why? For the same reasons that people still watch horror movies today – they are fun, and, on a deeper level, they tap into our shared fears about death and the unknown. Scary titles have been around since the birth of the video game industry.
We thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the most notable retro horror titles. Some of these will be as familiar to you as the hoodie you wrap around yourself to keep away the chill on brisk autumn nights. Others will be mere curiosities, forgotten relics of an arguably simpler time. Yet despite their individual merits or flaws,...
