For a franchise that has spent years trapped in legal limbo, Friday the 13th is finally making a comeback in a way nobody could have expected. The hockey mask, the lake, the doomed teenagers, the screaming — all of it has been sitting on the sidelines while a long-running rights dispute kept Jason Voorhees practically…
Slow Horses Season 6 is almost here, and frankly, I have reached the point where waiting for another batch of Jackson Lamb misery feels less like anticipation and more like a personal inconvenience. This is one of the few spy shows that can make an intelligence operation feel simultaneously dangerous, ridiculous, grubby, and painfully human….
There is something slightly terrifying about going into a new season of Slow Horses when you already know the show has decided to mess with its usual formula. This series has spent five seasons perfecting a very specific rhythm: take one Mick Herron novel, throw Jackson Lamb and the Slough House rejects into an increasingly…
Slow Horses Season 6 is wasting absolutely no time reminding us why this is one of the best spy dramas on television. The new trailer doesn’t simply tease another messy MI5 operation. It makes Slough House look like a place that has finally run out of luck. Jackson Lamb and his unwanted collection of agents…
There are some movies where the casting alone makes you clear your evening schedule. The Whisper Man is one of those movies. Robert De Niro. Michael Keaton. Adam Scott. Michelle Monaghan. A bestselling horror novel as source material. The Russo brothers’ AGBO behind the production. James Ashcroft in the director’s chair. On paper, this thing…
Alex North’s The Whisper Man was never the kind of thriller that needed cheap jump scares to get under your skin. The book’s real weapon was atmosphere. A quiet house. A grieving father. A child who seems to know things he shouldn’t. And, hanging over all of it, the horrifying memory of a killer who…
There’s something especially unsettling about a horror movie that keeps making you ask yourself, “Wait… am I watching a ghost story or a serial-killer thriller?” That’s exactly the trick The Whisper Man pulls. Netflix’s dark psychological thriller looks, at first glance, like it could slide straight into supernatural horror. There’s a strange old house, a…
Spoilers ahead for Netflix’s The Whisper Man. There are plenty of horror movies where the kid is simply the person everyone has to save. The Whisper Man takes a nastier route. Jake Kennedy isn’t just a victim waiting for his father to arrive. He is at the center of the movie’s darkest mystery, and by…
Alan Ritchson has reached the point where putting him in an action movie almost feels like cheating. The man already looks like he was assembled in a laboratory specifically for fistfights, car chases, and impossible last-minute rescues. After turning Jack Reacher into one of television’s most recognizable modern action heroes, Ritchson is now getting another…
There are action movies that arrive promising to reinvent the genre, and then there are movies that seem to say, “Forget all that. Get in the car.” Runner belongs firmly in the second category, and honestly, that is a big part of its charm. Directed by Scott Waugh, the man behind films such as Need…
There is something wonderfully uncomplicated about a good action movie with a deadline. Give me a dangerous driver, an impossible delivery, a couple of people who probably shouldn’t be working together, and a villain breathing down their necks, and I’m usually sold. That’s a big part of what makes Runner (2026) such an appealing throwback….
There is something almost dangerously easy about getting hooked on a story where a wealthy young woman is assigned a bodyguard she absolutely does not want. Throw in a kidnapping, family secrets, dangerous enemies, a forced trip between New York and Spain, and an attraction neither character is supposed to act on, and you have…
