The Teen Wolf Movie Proves Why It Should Have Been A Sequel Show
Image
Warning: Contains spoilers for Teen Wolf: The Movie

Teen Wolf: The Movie picks up the story more than a decade after Teen Wolf’s original ending, but the movie would have been much better as a show. Teen Wolf: The Movie brings Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) and most of his pack back together to take on the Nogitsune (Aaron Hendry) once more. Out for revenge, the Nogitsune instigated Allison Argent’s (Crystal Reed) resurrection to tear the pack apart and kill Scott, only to be thwarted by the pack’s belief in one another. Teen Wolf: The Movie’s ending is both tragic and hopeful, as Scott and Allison get a second chance at love, and the next generation of the Hale family is set to take center stage.

Teen Wolf: The Movie packs a lot of action into its nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime, and yet it doesn’t feel like enough.

The Teen Wolf Movie Completely Failed The Show's Friendships
Image
Warning! Spoilers for Teen Wolf: The Movie.

Teen Wolf: The Movie reunited most of Teen Wolf’s beloved heroes, yet in doing so, ignored the show’s most important friendships. Teen Wolf: The Movie saw Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) and his pack members join forces once more to take on the Nogitsune (Aaron Hendry), one of Teen Wolf’s creepiest villains. A fundamental pillar of Teen Wolf has always been the love the pack members have for one another, whether romantic or platonic. This was never more apparent than when they beat the Nogitsune for the first time in Teen Wolf season 3. They did everything they could to save Stiles (Dylan O’Brien), who had been possessed by the Nogitsune.

With Crystal Reed’s return as Allison Argent in Teen Wolf: The Movie, it was to be expected that the revival would focus on her romance with Scott. Allison...

The Nogitsune Was The Wrong Villain For The Teen Wolf Movie
Image
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Teen Wolf: The Movie.

Teen Wolf: The Movie brings back familiar heroes and familiar villains, as the Nogitsune has returned to take revenge on Scott and his pack. Though the original Teen Wolf show had numerous memorable villains, perhaps none were so memorable and vicious as the Nogitsune (Aaron Hendry) from Teen Wolf season 3. Possessing Scott McCall’s (Tyler Posey) best friend Stiles (Dylan O’Brien), wreaking general havoc on Beacon Hills, and eventually becoming responsible for the death of Allison Argent (Crystal Reed), the Nogitsune did a lot of damage, all the while being one of the show’s creepiest and most compelling villains.

As such, it should be no surprise that the Nogitsune was brought back to be the villain in Teen Wolf: The Movie, as Teen Wolf season 3 is often considered to be one of Teen Wolf’s best, largely due to the...

Wolf Pack’s Arson Mystery Makes The Teen Wolf Connection More Confusing
Image
Warning! Spoilers for Teen Wolf: The Movie and Wolf Pack, episode 1.

While Wolf Pack’s arson mystery makes for a strong start for a new show, it also makes its Teen Wolf: The Movie connection more confusing. It’s not uncommon for the many werewolf shows available to start blurring together, but especially so when their premises and release dates are so close as with Teen Wolf: The Movie and Wolf Pack. This is why it’s so important for each werewolf drama to differentiate themselves not based on their supernatural creatures, but by their characters and relationships.

Teen Wolf: The Movie, created by Jeff Davis, has been in development for a while since the end of season 6 of the show. The film takes place years after the final season’s events and revolves around Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) reuniting with the McCall pack as they investigate the mysterious reappearance of Scott’s love interest,...

Crystal Reed's Teen Wolf Movie Return Explained (Is It Really Allison?)
Image
Warning! Contains Spoilers for Teen Wolf: The Movie.

Crystal Reed’s return is one of Teen Wolf: The Movie’s biggest mysteries and selling points. Reed's character, Allison Argent, died at the end of Teen Wolf season 3, as Crystal Reed had decided to leave the show to pursue other creative endeavors. Allison’s death on Teen Wolf was one of the most tragic moments in the entire show, as Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) had to watch the love of his life die in his arms. Though Crystal Reed returned to Teen Wolf one more time in season 5 to play Allison’s ancestor, it wasn’t until Teen Wolf: The Movie that audiences would see Crystal Reed return to Beacon Hills.

While Crystal Reed was known to be returning, it was unclear whether she would return as Allison herself. Before the movie, it had been 15 years since Allison’s Teen Wolf death,...

Teen Wolf: The Movie Review — Is There Any Bite Left?
Image
This Teen Wolf: The Movie review contains no spoilers.

Riddle me this: Is a Teen Wolf still a Teen Wolf when he becomes a full-grown “Man Wolf”?

That’s essentially the premise of Teen Wolf‘s comeback movie which brings Tyler Posey’s Scott McCall back on our screens for the first time since 2017.

Now in his mid-thirties, our not-so-Teen Wolf is still the Alpha, but Beacon Hills is no longer the place it once was. Fifteen years or so have passed since everyone last walked off together dramatically on the long-running MTV series. Jumping ahead to 2026, Scott’s pack has now been scattered by the years and circumstance — as well as real-life issues offscreen too.

That’s right. A lot of your faves are back, including some faces you might not be expecting, but there are a couple of key players missing, and the film does suffer a bit for it.

‘Prisoners of the Ghostland’ Blu-ray Review
Image
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Bill Moseley, Sofia Boutell, Nick Cassavetes, Tak Sakaguchi, Young Dais, Charles Glover, Tetsu Watanabe | Written by Aaron Hendry, Reza Sixo Safai | Directed by Sion Sono

I love Nicholas Cage movies, the crazier the better. Sometimes though some movies feel like they just weren’t made for him. Prisoners of the Ghostland is a film that holds so much promise but in the end feels like other movies have done the same thing, just way better.

When the Governor (Bill Moseley) sends out notorious criminal Hero (Nicolas Cage) to find his Bernice (Sofia Boutella), Hero believes this could be his chance to redeem himself for his past. Strapped into a suit that will blow him up if he doesn’t succeed in his task, he is fighting time to find the girl and hopefully save himself.

The start of Prisoners of the Ghostland shows a lot of promise,...

Nicolas Cage wields a katana in this striking new poster for upcoming neo-noir western action flick Prisoners of the Ghostland. Stood atop a pile of samurai, ninjas, ghosts, and, for some reason, a mannequin, the movie promises to be a wild ride, as Cage battles the supernatural on a quest for redemption.

Prisoners of the Ghostland Trailer Is Pure Nicolas Cage Samurai Western Insanity
Image
Nicolas Cage cuts a darkly heroic figure in the first trailer for Prisoners of the Ghostland, which pits the Oscar winner and Hollywood icon against ghosts, samurai, and ninjas in an action thriller gonzo genre mash-up that truly must be seen to be believed. Due for release in theaters and on video on demand on September 17, 2021, by Rlje Films, fans of the Cage's particular brand of antics are clearly for an absolute treat.

From the looks of the footage, which features Nicolas Cage once again nailing the tortured hero role and delightfully chewing any piece of scenery that decides to get in his way, the actor has scored the defining role of his career as Hero, a notorious criminal seeking atonement for his nefarious past.

Nicolas Cage Battles Ghosts, Samurais & Ninjas in Prisoners of the Ghostland This Fall

Hollywood icon and Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage will soon take on the action movie trifecta, Ninjas, Ghosts and Samurais in the upcoming cinematic oddity Prisoners of the Ghostland, which has now been confirmed to be hitting theaters, Digital HD and VOD platforms on September 17, 2021. The action-horror movie had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, and has been described as "a Bonkers, Neon Drenched Post-Apocalyptic Western."

Prisoners of the Ghostland is set in the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town (because where else could it be set?) where a ruthless bank robber named Hero, played by Nicolas Cage, is sprung from jail by wealthy warlord The Governor, whose adopted granddaughter Bernice has gone missing. The Governor offers the prisoner his freedom in exchange for retrieving the runaway. To escape the nightmare world, Hero must break the evil curse controlling the mysterious Ghostland.

Sundance Review: Prisoners of the Ghostland Sets Nicolas Cage on a Mythic Journey Equal Parts Gonzo and Banal
Arguably the hardest working man in show business, Nicolas Cage appeared in over 40 films the last decade alone. Yes, he may no longer work with the likes of David Lynch, Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, Charlie Kaufman or the Coens, but the eternally entertaining actor usually finds a gem every now and again that truly utilizes his eccentric talents. That’s why the prospect of him teaming with a director as unhinged and prolific as he is an actor made for the most-anticipated collaboration in some time. With Cage as his lead, Sion Sono––one of Japan’s most creative, kinetic filmmakers––embarked on his English-language debut Prisoners of the Ghostland following his life-altering, death-defying heart attack. The results are a madcap Mad Max-esque, Gilliam-style fever dream that throws everything at the screen that its limited, but resourceful budget can muster up. The actual experience of watching this...

‘Prisoners of the Ghostland’ Review: A Match Made in Heaven — or Post-Apocalyptic Hell
Image
At some point in the distant future, long after nuclear holocaust or airborne plague has wiped out the human race, some film critic will no doubt uncover a list of the projects Nicolas Cage has turned down, and it will finally become clear how the actor determined the course of his career.

For about a dozen years, from mid-’90s Bruck-buster “The Rock” through family hamster-tainment “G-Force,” it has seemed that the ka-ching of a cash register must have been the deciding factor, but in the dozen years since, a pattern has emerged that Cage isn’t merely cashing checks but may in fact be shaping the world’s most eccentric filmography by design.

Proof positive is his agreement to make “Prisoners of the Ghostland” with Japan’s resident weird-meister Sion Sono — a revolving position that amounts to being the unofficial poet laureate of extreme psychosexual shlock, one that’s...

‘Prisoners of the Ghostland’ Review: Nicolas Cage and Sion Sono Make a Ballsy East-Meets-Western
Image
Some movies don’t seem inevitable until they’re made. The most absurd thing about Sion Sono’s “Prisoners of the Ghostland” — a sukiyaki psych-Western that casts Nicolas Cage as a criminal on a mission to rescue a runaway girl from a post-apocalyptic wasteland before the bombs attached to his balls explode — is that it didn’t already exist.

This is the first film that Sono shot (predominately) in English, and the first film that Cage shot with a (predominately) Japanese crew, but “Prisoners of the Ghostland” leaves no doubt that these two wildmen speak the same language. If this gonzo cross-cultural mash-up pulls taut across more ideas than it has skin on its bones, well, it’s easy to forgive Sono and Cage for getting a bit overexcited about meeting for the first time (It may be worth noting that Sono suffered a heart attack during pre-production that scuttled...

Before its Sundance Film Festival premiere, Japanese director Sion Sono’s action/adventure feature Prisoners of the Ghostland has been snapped up by AMC Networks’ Rlje Films.

Rlje distributed Cage’s trippy sci-fi feature Color Out of Space, which they picked up at TIFF 2019, and released this past summer’s The Tax Collector from David Ayer.

Prisoners of the Ghostland, written by Aaron Hendry and Rexa Sixo Safai, is set in the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town where a ruthless bank robber (Cage) is sprung from jail by wealthy warlord The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has gone missing. The Governor offers the prisoner his freedom in exchange for retrieving the runaway. Strapped into a leather suit that will self-destruct within three days, the bandit sets off on a journey to find the young woman—and his own path to redemption.

Nicolas Cage Action Film ‘Prisoners of the Ghostland’ Picked Up by Rlje Films Ahead of Sundance
Nicolas Cage in Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)
Rlje Films has acquired the U.S. rights to “Prisoners of the Ghostland,” an action film starring Nicolas Cage that is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later this week.

Japanese auteur Sion Sono (“Why Don’t You Play In Hell”) directs “Prisoners of the Ghostland,” which is described as a mashup between Westerns, samurai films, action movies and post-apocalyptic thrillers. And Rlje Films is the same team that released Cage’s “Color Out of Space” and “Mandy,” both of which were similarly indie, art house movies that have become cult favorites. No release date has been set for the latest film.

“Prisoners of the Ghostland” also stars Sofia Boutella, Nick Cassavetes, Bill Moseley, Tak Sakaguchi and Yuzuka Nakaya. The film is set in the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town where a ruthless bank robber (Cage) is sprung from jail by the wealthy warlord The Governor (Moseley), whose...

First 'Deadcon' Trailer - Social Media Horror Starring Real YouTubers
"Is your room, like, abnormally cold?" Gunpowder & Sky's new label Alter has debuted the first trailer for an indie horror titled Deadcon, starring real-life YouTubers. I cannot believe we're posting this, because they really are scraping the bottom of the horror barrel here, but nevertheless it's still free to watch trailers. The horrors and isolation of being a social media influencer run rampant when a collection of YouTube & Instagram stars soon discover there are things scarier than thousands of teenagers armed with phones asking for selfies. Deadcon is about a haunted hotel full of "vengeful ghosts of some of the original pioneers of social media" (ugh). Starring Lauren Elizabeth & Claudia Sulewski, plus Keith Machekanyanga, Lukas Gage, Dominic Burgess, Aaron Hendry, and Mimi Gianopulos. This looks like they stuffed every last horror trope / cliche into a social media movie knowing they'll get some people to watch it. Smh. Here's the first...

Berlin: ‘Ghostland’ Director Sion Sono Suffers Heart Attack
Sion Sono in Madly (2016)
Japanese director Sion Sono suffered a heart attack Thursday and has since undergone an operation. Sono’s representatives have told Japanese media that his life is not in danger.

His illness may delay production of Nicolas Cage-starring horror-action film “Prisoners of the Ghostland,” which was scheduled to begin shooting this spring.

Cage is to star as a criminal out to rescue a kidnapped girl who has fallen into a dark alternative universe. Imogen Poots has also boarded the film, which is Sono’s first in English.

“Our understanding is that he is in very good condition, and there’s no impact on ‘Ghostland’ or timeline,” producer Nate Bolotin of Xyz Films told Variety in an email.

Pushing boundaries of sex and violence while mixing in classical music, Christian imagery and black humor, Sono became an international cult favorite in the early years of the millennium. Among his best-known films abroad are “Suicide Club,...

Sion Sono to Make English Debut with Nicolas Cage; Abderrahmane Sissako Sets New Film; Timothy Olyphant Joins ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’
The Cageaissance may be upon us. After earning his best reviews in years with Sundance’s Mandy, Nicolas Cage will help Sion Sono make an English-language debut with the post-apocalyptic picture Prisonsers of the Ghostland, which Deadline describes as the story of a “notorious criminal Hero (Cage) who is sent to rescue an abducted girl who has disappeared into a dark supernatural universe.” Melding the origins of its direcotr and setting, Reza Sixo Safai (what a name) and Aaron Hendry’s script finds them in “an East-meets-West vortex of beauty and violence” while trying to “escape the mysterious revenants that rule the Ghostland.” A lot of which sounds like nonsense, and very well could be, but Sono can handle that. And thoughts of the pairing alone will be worth the price of admission.

Meanwhile, Cohen Media Group have reunited with Abderrahmane Sissako for the Mauritanian auteur’s The Perfumed Hill.

Nicolas Cage to Star in Sono Sion's Prisoners Of The Ghostland
Whatever the next great film idea you think you have is, you might as well table it because Prisoners of the Ghostland might just be the end all and be all of great film ideas. Deadline is reporting that Nicolas Cage, the cultiest of cult actors, and Sono Sion, the cultiest of cult directors, will join forces in the fight against evil in the Japanese director's English language debut. What does happen when an actor who has starred in some of the biggest cult films gets together with a director responsible for his share of notorious cult titles? We will just have to wait.      Ghostland, penned by Aaron Hendry and Safai, centers on notorious criminal Hero (Cage) who is sent to rescue an...

Recap Ray Donovan Season 3 Episode 4: Family first doesn’t always work out
Ray Donovan Season 3, Episode 4 “Breakfast of Champions” (original air date Aug. 2, 2015): Lots of crazy cereal talk in this episode. Made me pick up a box of Captain Crunch (so why does that cereal rip out the top of your mouth, anyways?). Ok, enough of that, here’s the recap Ray Donovan Episode 4. The episode begins with Abby returning to Boston to visit her Southie family. She surprises her brother Dave (Aaron Hendry) at their family bar. “You look like a fucking teenager,” he tells her. “I feel like an old woman.” Abby (Paula Malcomson) takes no … Continue reading →

Teen Wolf season 4 episode 9 review: Perishable
Jennifer Lynch directs another impressive episode of Teen Wolf this week. Here's Ron's review of Perishable...

This review contains spoilers.

4.9 Perishable

With a show like Teen Wolf, you can never be sure who is dead and who isn't dead. Gerard took werewolf claws to the belly, crawled off, and somehow reappeared for a few episodes in season 3A when Allison needed a spiritual adviser. Kate Argent died and returned as a were-jaguar. Scott, Stiles, and Allison all returned from the dead once upon a time, though Allison returned to re-death in season 3B. Is it all that surprising that Parrish gets burned alive by Lou Ferrigno Jr.'s Deputy Haigh in the opening moments of Perishable before returning, covered in ashes but otherwise unharmed? Not so much.

However, what was surprising was the return of Meredith Walker, everyone's favorite creepy Banshee, as a crucial character in the Teen Wolf universe.

Teen Wolf season 3 episode 21 review: The Fox And The Wolf
Review Ron Hogan 4 Mar 2014 - 08:17

Teen Wolf goes back to WWII to explain the origin of the nogitsune this week...

This review contains spoilers.

3.21 The Fox And The Wolf

It's odd to see Teen Wolf tackling a topic like the Japanese internment camps of World War II, if only because Teen Wolf doesn't seem like a particularly topical or historically-oriented show. There's an emphasis on mythology to be sure, but it's not like werewolves are a real thing (as far as I know) and it's not like people really suffer from the effects of lycanthropy like actual Japanese-Americans suffered during internment. However, this week's Teen Wolf spent more time at the internment camp than it has at the high school, and it's kind of beneficial to the show.

The show opens in 1943, with soldiers dumping bodies into a pit. However from the pit rises the illustrious nogitsune, and he's...

DVD Review: Dragon Dynasty
Dragon Dynasty

Stars: Federico Castelluccio, Aaron Hendry, Dion Basco, Stana Katic, Peter Kwong, James Hong | Written by Berkeley Anderson | Directed by Matt Codd

When Syfy films are thought up they must sound good on paper, it’s just a shame that many of them never get to the screen in good shape. Come up with an adequate story and a dream that CGI will add in all the entertainment value then hope for the best, the question has to be will CGI dragons been good enough for Dragon Dynasty?

Marco and his small group of explorers from Europe are the first to visit China and look for chances to trade, although the emperor is happy to have them there some are not, namely Shang Sel who works against the wishes of the emperor and releases dragons to kill the European visitors. As Marco and his group return home they are...
