The zombie horror genre has always been popular, but some films did it better than others. Ahead of a new zombie film, the addition in the 28 Days Laterfranchise, 28 Years Later, set to premiere on June 20, the highest-grossing zombie film of all time is making a splash on streaming.

In 2013, Brad Pitt starred in World War Z, which is now having a resurgence on streaming. The film recently headed to a new streaming home, its studio Paramount Pictures' streaming platform, Paramount+. However, it didn't make an imminent impact on the streaming platform, but World War Z reached the Top 10 globally on Netflix,Tudum reports.

World War Z has had a long, complicated relationship with Netflix. The zombie film left the streaming service in October 2024, but it's still available internationally. For the week between June 9 and 15, World War Z debuted in the charts again in seventh place. It received 3.8 million views and 7.4 million hours viewed.

Brad Pitt had the year 2013 on lock when World War Z premiered in theaters. The film was such a success that, although its Rotten Tomatoes score isn't the highest, it still brought in over half a billion at the box office (with a $190 million budget). There were hopes of a World War Z 2, but supposedly, talks of a sequelwere "put on pause," with others saying it was canceled due to budget issues. Fans have created trailer concepts, movie posters, and all, yearning for another dose of former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane. Now they are kind of getting their wish, as World War Z VRwill be released this August.

This is not the update that fans have been tirelessly waiting for about their beloved action horror film...but it's something. Virtual Reality (VR) headsets have become extremely popular throughout the years for horror film VR experiences. Those with headsets got...

There’s a razor-thin line between Star Trek and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Numerous actors and other talent have crossed from one franchise into another, including a married couple, though more on them in a few moments. There’s Leslie Hoffman, who played the hall guard in the original Elm Street fright fest and worked on both Deep Space Nine and Voyager as an actor, stunt performer, and/or stunt coordinator. Mimi Craven, who portrayed Jisa in the Voyager episode “Dragon’s Teeth,” appeared as a nurse in Elm Street 1. David Andrews, who made his big-screen debut in Elm Street 1, later guest-starred as Lorian, the son of T’Pol and Trip Tucker in an episode of Enterprise.

And the list goes on and on. Makeup impresario Mark Shostrom worked on Elm Street 2 and 3, and later won an Emmy Award for the Voyager episode “Threshold,” sharing it with Michael Westmore and several fellow collaborators.

As The Boys gears up for its highly anticipated final season, Antony Starr (Homelander) has shared his reaction to reading the final scripts — and it sounds like fans are in for a wild, unpredictable ride. With Season 5 marking the end for Prime Video's subserve superhero show, expectations are sky-high.

Starr talked to Collider about his mixed emotions regarding the show’s ending. While he’s grateful for the success and longevity of The Boys, he also believes that ending at Season 5 is the right call.

It’s strange because as much as I love the show, I don't like seeing things outstay their welcome, so I'm kind of glad we're finishing at five, and that's it. I love the show and the characters, so it's a bittersweet moment.Antony Starr

This should come as a relief to fans who have seen other popular series lose momentum by overstaying their welcome.

Paramount Pictures’ action horror World War Z will be heading to a brand-new streaming home. The 2013 movie is based on Max Brooks’ best-selling 2006 apocalyptic novel of the same name.

Beginning on March 1, World War Z will officially be available to stream for free on Tubi. The movie is led by Academy Award winner Brad Pitt, who portrays retired United Nations investigator Gerry Lane. In the film, Gerry and his family get caught in the middle of chaos, after discovering that a virus has been rapidly turning people into flesh-eating monsters. Due to his former role in the U.N., he gets recalled back to duty in order to search for the cure, before the infection wipes out the entire human race.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes scored the top honor, outstanding visual effects in a photoreal feature, at the 2025 Visual Effects Society Awards.

Dune: Part Two led the winners list with four wins in the feature categories, while The Wild Robot was named top animated film with four wins as well. Shogun won best photoreal episode, winning three awards. The Penguin also won three awards.

The Ves Awards recognizes “outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation in film, animation, television, commercials, video games and special venues,” according to the organization. This year, comedy duo The Sklar Brothers made their debut as the hosts of the show, while Keanu Reeves presented the Ves Award for Creative Excellence to Shogun actor-producer Hiroyuki Sanada.

With over four hundred writing credits on IMDb, there is no disputing that Stephen King is one of the world's most influential authors. His novels, short stories, and novellas have been adapted into wildly successful films, like The Shining, Misery, and The Shawshank Redemption. Unfortunately, not every adaptation of King's works has been a home run.

Given the sheer volume of films and miniseries inspired by King, some are bound to be underwhelming. There are multiple ways an adaptation can miss the mark. In the most common scenario, a film will follow the plot of a story while missing its emotional underpinning and deeper meaning. Conversely, some films use the name of a famous novel to grab attention but abandon the details. And other times it's a simple matter of miscast characters or improper timing.

The Visual Effects Society has chimed in on the awards season conversation.

On Tuesday, the visual effects industry’s global honorary society announced nominees for the 23rd Annual Ves Awards — with top Best Visual Effects Oscar contenders Better Man, Dune: Part Two, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes among the films recognized.

Dune: Part Two led the way among photoreal features with seven nominations, including Best Feature. The Wild Robot led all animated films with five nominations; Shōgun and The Penguin earned four bids each on the TV side.

Wicked and Gladiator II, which are currently predicted to land among the Best Visual Effects Oscar nominees later this month, were both absent from the Best Feature lineup. Instead, the Ves Awards went with Mufasa: The Lion King and Twisters. Last year, just two of the five Best Visual Effects Oscar nominees were similarly nominated in the Ves Awards...

The Visual Effects Society (Ves) is the entertainment industry’s only official organization representing the extended global community of visual effects practitioners, including supervisors, artists, producers, technology developers, educators, and studio executives. The 5,000-member Ves body has now selected nominees for its 2025 awards honors in features, animation, television, commercials, games, and new media, as well as the VFX supervisors, VFX producers, and hands-on artists who bring their work to life.

“Dune: Part Two” leads the photoreal feature film field with seven nominations, although nominations include character work on “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” as well as “Better Man” and nominations for the virtuosic digital camerawork in Episode 4 of “House of the Dragon” Season 2, “The Red Dragon and the Gold.”

Since the earliest days of Hollywood, audiences have signaled a desire for some of their favorite stories to continue in the form of sequels, with franchises like Star Wars and Halloween being kept alive for decades. The idea of the sequel has always been hit or miss, with some filmmakers wanting their best stories to be left at one, while studios insist on keeping their ideas alive. Naturally, this has been reflected in the quality of some movies, which can either delight or divide audiences.

While some sequels rank among the greatest and most successful films ever made, others are among the worst. In the middle, however, audiences have a long list of underrated continuations, some of which failed to live up to a predecessor while others were quickly overshadowed by the next entry. Some of these movies simply flew under the radar or weren't appreciated for their time, but have aged incredibly well.

The Boys creator Eric Kripke has explained how Homelander's god-complex will be "slowly driving him insane" in season 5, and how it will impact the story. The Boys season 4 ended with Homelander (Antony Starr) getting appointed by Speaker of the House-turned-President Steven Calhoun (David Andrews) to a new Supe-led task force, with martial law declared across the US. This newfound position of power is the highest he's ever gotten, with the post-credits of the season finale showing him deciding to awaken Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), hinting at what's next in the final season.

Now, Variety reports that, at an FYC panel hosted by SAG-AFTRA, Kripke explained how Homelander will still be dealing with his god-complex in The Boys season 5, stemming from his trauma which has now consumed him. The series creator explained how the antagonist will be wrestling with how "he wants to be a god, but he’s a man,...

The cast of The Boys reunites as filming of the Prime Video series' final season is set to begin. The Boys season 4 concluded with a game-changing shift as Homelander (Antony Starr) now controls the new President of the United States, Steven Calhoun (David Andrews). Homelander is the president in all but name and now has an army of supes at his command. With the show coming to an end, The Boys season 5 will be the final opportunity to defeat Homelander.

On Instagram, Mother's Milk actor Laz Alonso shared a photo of The Boys cast reuniting as they prepare to film the series' final season. In addition to Alonso, the picture includes Starr, Jessie T. Usher, Jack Quaid, Karl Urban, Chace Crawford, Nathan Mitchell, and Colby Minifie, who play the respective roles of Homelander, A-Train, Hughie Campbell, Billy Butcher, the Deep, Black Noir II, and Ashley Barrett. The picture is captioned "And just like that.

Horror master Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most beloved franchises in the genre, and its famous slasher villain, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), is equally beloved. Since it has remained undeniably popular in the 40 years since the first film's release, it is hard to believe that Craven had a difficult time trying to get the project picked up. All the major studios balked at the premise, claiming they didn't think audiences would find dreams scary enough. Luckily, New Line eventually gave the movie the greenlight, thus giving birth to one of horror's most iconic franchises.

Despite being made on a lower budget, the movie became a big success and catapulted Freddy into horror icon status. The surprise success of the movie paved the way for seven sequels, a crossover with fellow horror icon Jason Voorhees, a remake, a video game, a TV series, and countless merchandise.

It's hard to overstate just how significant Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street still is. The slasher classic has successfully infiltrated our popular subconscious, reaching a sinister gloved hand into the imaginations of generations of filmmakers and reshaping modern horror cinema. It's perhaps only with hindsight that the full extent of the 1984 movie's impact can be appreciated. But even with its iconic villain, inspired premise, and archetypal story, the original A Nightmare on Elm Street is much more than an artifact to be admired. It remains a thrilling spectacle albeit with some of its originality tarnished.

Gen V and The Boys have intersecting timelines. Frenchie is under mind control, impacting his future in the series. Gen V Season 2 may address Frenchie's fate and character development.

TV show spin-offs are an exciting way to extend a story. When it comes to Gen V, the spin-off of The Boys, the two shows intersect in such a clever way. They not only take place in the same universe, but their timelines follow along with one another. Season 1 of Gen V took place immediately following the events of Season 3 of The Boys. Several Gen V characters appeared in the fourth season of The Boys, which continues the story from the end of its spin-offs first season.

With Gen V Season 2 now filming and continuing its timeline following the events of The Boys' Season 4 finale, there are opportunities for even more synergy. Given how Season 4 of The Boys ended, two characters,...

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 4 finale.

The Boys season 4 went from a political super-satire to a momentous building block towards the universe’s end game when creator Eric Kripke announced that season 5 would be the final set of episodes for the Prime Video stalwart. So many of our favorite characters have grown and started heading toward the final part of their arcs this year, and many of us could see that this season was going to serve as a set-up for what’s to come more than anything.

The Boys’ season 4 finale dropped the hammer down on the titular vigilante group in the grandest way possible. Homelander (Antony Starr) is effectively unopposed now that Senator Calhoun (David Andrews) is President of the United States by the end of the hour. The Boys have been taken into custody by Vought’s supers while Butcher (Karl Urban) has enacted...

Everyone has their own unique choice for the best Stephen King movie — but what's the worst?

Before Stephen King became a best selling millionaire novelist, he scratched by a meager living selling short stories on the side. Some of those early short stories appeared in the University of Maine literary journal "Ubris," but King finally made one of his first professional sales with "Graveyard Shift," a horror story purchased and published by the magazine "Cavalier" in 1970. The story would later end up in King's well-loved short story collection "Night Shift," a book that served as a kind of gateway drug to budding King fans. And as long as there have been Stephen King books there have been Stephen King movies — his 1974 debut novel "Carrie" was adapted to the screen by 1976. From there, Hollywood was off and running, bring King's work to the movies left and right.

When 1990 rolled around, it...

Kevin Costner regrets releasing Wyatt Earp so close to Tombstone, creating competition between two Western movies. Despite Wyatt Earp disappointing at the box office in 1994, Costner has had success in Westerns with other films. Costner is now dedicated to his new cinematic venture, Horizon: An American Saga, putting his money and effort into the project.

Kevin Costner is not someone with many regrets when it comes to his long and prolific career, but in a new interview he revealed that there is one particular decision that still haunts him a little. While Costner has been mostly successful in his many forays into the world of epic Western movies, his 1994 movie Wyatt Earp was a surprising misfire at the box office and is considered one of the worst movies in the genre. Speaking to GQ, Costner reflected on putting Wyatt Earp out just after the release of the critically superior Tombstone,...

Traditional Westerns are past their prime, but the recent renaissance brought by modern franchises like Yellowstone is worth noting. Wyatt Earp's star-studded cast and accurate portrayal of the lawman's life still couldn't save it from being a dull, overlong mess. Despite its historical accuracy, Wyatt Earp's attempt to tell a complete story in a 3-hour runtime was met with mixed reviews.

The Western is one of the most iconic genres in all of film history. Often taking place in the years following the California Gold Rush of 1849, these films showcase the struggle and determination of Americans seeking to conquer the undiscovered frontier. This genre has resonated with viewers for years due to its emphasis on the American spirit. However, no one would deny that traditional Westerns are past their prime.

They have seen a renaissance in recent years, thanks partly to franchises like Yellowstone that put a modern take on the classic format.

80s sci-fi romance Cherry 2000 was set in the year 2017, but how close was it to envisioning society as it is today?

To a sheltered girl growing up on the outskirts of the New Forest, where the most exciting thing happening in 1988 was a demonstration day at the village candle-making shop, the trailer for Cherry 2000 landing at the start of nearly every VHS rental atop the shelves was an event. This film promised to be the height of 80s futuristic sci-fi hedonism - explosions, hot sex robots, outlandish stunts, apocalyptic gunfights and Melanie Griffith taking her top off again.

This time round we follow a young woman, the titular Jessabelle, returning to her childhood home in Louisiana in order to recuperate from a horrific car accident which killed her boyfriend – on the very day they were set to move in together (oh the irony). Once settled in, she comes face to face with a long-tormented spirit that has been seeking her return; and – in a complete twist – has no intention of letting her leave. Dun dun dun!!!

Written by Robert Ben Garant, better known as Deputy Travis Junior from the series “Reno 911!,” the film manages enough general interest to keep us wondering what will happen to its protagonist, even though it’s lack of tension and absence of thrills racks up quite a bit of dismay. Though a pleasantly peculiar finale at last breaks free of its quagmire of cliché, it can’t quite make up for the inert build-up, as well as a handful of illogical details that annul any of the film’s more successful moments.

Jessabelle is a bit of an odd experience, blending a fangless voodoo fantasy with some seriously unnerving scares about inner-demons going bump in the night. While such an imbalance might not sound completely unheard of, the seamless way Reno 911! prankster Robert Ben Garant scripts this Southern spooker manages to polish rougher edges with invasive psychological horror that’s surprisingly nightmare-worthy. Even with director Kevin Greutert’s horror experience coming from the overly-gory Saw franchise – specifically the final two splatterfests – Jessabelle remains solely story-driven thanks to atmospheric haunted house tropes, not distracting, stomach-churning gore. Isn’t it nice when horror movies respect their audience and take time to craft white-knuckle scares worthy of a few less hours of sleep, instead of Ouija-like backhanded scare tactics?

Sarah Snook stars as the titular Jessabelle, a daughter returning to her sleepy Louisiana home while recuperating from a tragic car accident. Her father (David Andrews), now a callous drunk,...
