The highly anticipated remake of the 1932 classic, The Most Dangerous Game, releases theatrically and digitally on August 5, 2022. This 90 year old film paved the way for the “humans hunting humans is the ultimate sport” genre. Films like Hard Target and Surviving the Game pay homage in one …

Released on May 1, 1987, Michael Gornick’s Creepshow 2 just happens to turn 35 this month. That’s some respectable company to be in. The summer of 1987 was epic for movie releases. I can’t even begin to do it full justice. Let me just mention a few: The Lost Boys, …
