Creator Jared Keeso had initially written Squirrely Dan’s role for his 19-2 co-star Dan Petronijevic, but due to Petronijevic’s commitment to Suicide Squad at the time, Wilson stepped in. His fresh take on the character soon became a fan favorite.

Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er, because the Canadian comedy series "Letterkenny" is back for its 11th season. What started out as a YouTube web series called "Letterkenny Problems" has since grown into one of the funniest and most popular shows on TV, following the residents of Letterkenny, a fictional rural town in Ontario based on show creator Jared Keeso's hometown. 

The residents of the small community fall under three major groups: the Hicks, the Skids, and the Hockey Players, but all three are ready for a brew, a brawl, or a beaut at any given opportunity. Whether it's chorin', sharing a Puppers with your best bud, or trading fisticuffs, the residents of "Letterkenny" do it faster, tougher, and with snappier wit than anyone else on the planet. With the return of the show just around the corner, here's everything you big shoots need to know to prepare, and more.

Letterkenny is returning to Hulu with its 11th season next month. The streaming service has announced the premiere date and released a brief teaser trailer. It's unclear how many episodes have been created this time around. Past seasons have typically had six or seven installments each.

Starring Jared Keeso, Nathan Dales, Michelle Mylett, K Trevor Wilson, Daniel Petronijevic, Dylan Playfair, Andrew Herr, Tyler Johnston, Evan Stern, Mark Forward, and Tiio Horn, the comedy series follows the residents of the town of Letterkenny.

Do you want to play a game? That creepy question from the “Saw” franchise helped distinguish the films as one of the most successful — and fun — horror brands in the history of the U.S. box office. America loved the “Saw” flicks, but how did film critics respond? Scroll through our photos above that highlights all of the “Saw” movies ranked worst to best, according to their Metacritic scores. The ninth film, a spin-off titled “Spiral: From the Book of Saw,” was ultimately reviewed rather favorably when it debuted during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Where to watch the “Saw” movies: As of October 2021, the first eight horror flicks are available to stream for free on Peacock. “Spiral” is available to rent on demand.

Lionsgate’s “Spiral” was released in theaters in May 2021, seven months later than originally planned due to the worldwide events.

Chicago – If you find yourself reading this review, you likely understand how much a film can influence society. Despite our best efforts, we don’t get to decide how or why something gets added to our zeitgeist. Its staying power can extend to anything from a character, an ideology, or even a quote.

The effect is so strong that even a small sentence is enough to trigger certain feelings in your brain. So if I told you, “I want to play a game,” there is a high chance that your mind read that in a low and sinister voice. There is even a very good chance that once you saw that line, you read it out loud with the best Jigsaw impersonation you could muster.

Rating: 1.0/5.0

That one line is enough to elicit feelings of disgust, pleasure, or more commonly, the odd combination of both. The Saw franchise has delighted...

The good news about Spiral: From the Book of Saw—the ninth entry in the infamous horror series and the second reboot—is that you really don’t have to be invested in the convoluted, borderline nonsensical mythology of the previous eight films to know what’s going on. There are no recurring characters, and even series super-villain Jigsaw himself (who returned again and again from seeming death in the form of Tobin Bell) only appears as a photo.

The not-so-good news is that Spiral almost goes too far in the other direction: It’s not particularly scary, it’s extremely simplistic to the point of repetition, and due to its repetitive structure, the viewer is able to figure out pretty quickly who is behind the string of murders that are being done in the style of Jigsaw. Well almost like Jigsaw, since the victims this time are exclusively plainclothes detectives.

The dialogue on Letterkenny seems impenetrable the first time you watch it, maybe even the second or third. The Canadian comedy, which Hulu recently added to its library, takes place in a small town in rural Ontario populated by “hicks, skids, hockey players and Christians,” and each group has its own colorful vernacular. The hicks – sibling farmers Wayne (creator/star Jared Keeso) and Katy (Michelle Mylett) and their friends Daryl (Nathan Dales) and Squirrely Dan (K. Trevor Wilson) – have been known to talk about “hooverin’ schneef” (snorting cocaine), and when...

Eight images plus a new poster for He Never Died starring Henry Rollins (from Black Flag) were recently released, and we have them after the jump. Also in this round-up: details on a baby Hellboy figurine and the free (for 24 hours) Rise #2: Last Generation comic.

He Never Died: Set to be released in select theaters on December 18th, He Never Died was written and directed by Jason Krawczyk. He Never Died stars Henry Rollins, Booboo Stewart, Steven Ogg, Jordan Todosey, James Cade, Michael Cram, and Dan Petronijevic.

"Jack (Rollins) is in a rut. His existence has been whittled down to sleeping and watching TV and he sees the human race as little more than meat with a pulse. When Jack suddenly finds his long lost daughter taken by the city’s crime syndicate, he must combat his inner demons as he embarks on a bloody warpath to seek revenge and save her.

Seemingly unable to die, Jack (Henry Rollins) spends his immortal days playing bingo and consuming human blood. But Jack's routine is interrupted when his daughter is kidnapped, as teased in the official red band trailer for He Never Died. Along with the new trailer, the supernatural noir has also launched an Indiegogo campaign to help expand its upcoming theatrical release.

He Never Died is slated for a December 18th release in select theaters. Should the film achieve its $50,000 fundraising goal, it will reach a wider audience when its release date arrives.

Seeing the human race as little more than meat with a pulse, Jack has no interest to bond with anyone. There’s little purpose for him to make friends with someone he’d eventually eat. However Jack’s world is turned upside down when a daughter he never new existed turns up on his door step and he becomes embroiled with a group of mobsters…

19-2? Precinct 19, Car 2. It’s simple as that. A series title that upholds a long-standing tradition of cop shows throughout the years that use designators in their titles, from the likes of Car 54 Where Are You? to the more recent 10-8: Officers on Duty. 19-2 also continues the more modern tradition of the gritty cop drama, heavily influenced by the likes of cable TV dramas The Shield and The Wire – with the same hardened sensibilities, only this time with a Canadian twist…

Interestingly, 19-2 – as seen on this DVD – is not the original version of the show. This particular iteration of the cop drama is actually an Englich-language remake of the series, which was originally set in Montreal and filmed entirely in French.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil star Tyler Labine may have traded in the Hillbilly dungarees for a polo shirt and cargo shorts, but the film’s spirit is alive and well in Cottage Country, a witty woodland comedy horror with more than its own share of laughs. Look, stop reading this and go watch it already. Its twisty, constantly churning story is best viewed unspoiled.

Taking off to the family holiday home for a week away from work, mild-mannered desk jockey Todd (Labine) and fiancee-to-be Cammie (Malin Akerman) don’t count upon the surprise appearance of his obnoxious brother Salinger (Dan Petronijevic) and horrible girlfriend Masha (Lucy Punch).

I was doing what many customers of Netflix do, browsing the catalogue of films on offer with a far-away look in my eye, unable to choose what to watch as the evening got later and later. As a fan of Tyler Labine from his work in Tucker and Dale versus Evil, I decided to give this movie a shot.

Also starring Malin Akerman (27 Dresses, Rock of Ages), Cottage Country is a comedy movie with elements of thriller, horror and romance, and is directed by Peter Wellington, who, from what I can tell, has only really been responsible for a few television movies, and random episodes of television shows I know little to nothing about.

Cottage Country

Written by Jeremy Boxen

Directed by Peter Wellington

Canada, 2013

Are people experiencing any fatigue with the decades old ‘cabin in the woods’ horror routine wherein a small party of reasonably innocent individuals opt to spend some much desired vacation in a solitary cabin in the wilderness, only to be chased, mauled, haunted or possessed by the nebulous forces of evil? Evidently not given that so many such movies are still produced on a consistent basis, yet every now and then a creative team cracks the code to making one that feels genuinely different. 2012′s Cabin in the Woods is one such film, and so is the Canadian made Cottage Country, from director Peter Wellington and screenwriter Jeremy Boxen.

Todd and Cammie (Tyler Labine and Malin Akerman respectively) are a couple very much in love who, through the personal reservation website created by Todd himself, have made plans to...

Cottage Country is a film that made its debut at the 2012 American Film Market. This film fan missed the trailer premiere and perhaps, others might have missed it as well. This comedy focuses on a couple looking for a relaxing time out in the wilderness. Unfortunately, Todd's (Tyler Labine) brother, Salinger (Daniel Petronijevic) comes for a visit. Todd's sibling rivalry rises and a murder takes place, and then another murder and then...the bloody keeps flowing! Fans who missed the trailer premiere for Cottage Country can take a look below. There are no distribution plans for this title, to date. Though, this film has completed production. More details will be posted as they become available. Director: Peter Wellington.

With veterans of such minor modern genre classics as "Hobo With a Shotgun" (producers Paul Gross and Frank Siracusa) and "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" (Tyler Labine) on the roster, it's difficult to see how director Peter Wellington's dark comedy "Cottage Country" could go wrong. In the film's trailer, below, Todd Chipowski (Labine) sees a romantic weekend idyll at his family's lake house turn sour due to his interloping brother (Dan Petronijevic), who he ends up catching in the neck with an axe. Chaos ensues as the hapless Todd conspires with his fiancée (Malin Akerman) to dispose of the evidence and do away with his brother's lady friend (Lucy Punch) before she gets wise. Clumsy and inept in the mechanics of both love and murder, the bloodied pair's deeds become increasingly grisly and frantic. The film, slated originally for 2012 release, is currently seeking a distributor at the American Film Market.

'Bad Teacher' scene-stealer Lucy Punch is shivering in the cold cottage country air as Daniel Petronijevic ('Happy Town') takes aim at her with a bow and arrow.

The four funny people are filming a scene for 'Cottage Country,' a new dark comedy about an eager-to-please yes-man (Labine) trying to create the perfect getaway for himself and his super-hot girlfriend (Akerman).
