Network TV dramas love suspense. These shows are designed to leave questions unanswered for as long as possible, bringing viewers back time after time with teases and cliffhangers before finally explaining themselves with a flashback episode or big reveal. It's a tried and true formula; the mystery is sweet, but the emotional payoff (and the "I told you so" that comes with a correct guess) is sweeter.

Unless that show is "NCIS," a series that has been on seemingly since the dawn of time but didn't actually answer vital questions about the death of its protagonist's first wife until 2024. The CBS drama about a naval crimes investigative unit wasn't actually the show that broke the news, either: Mark Harmon left "NCIS" in 2021, but his character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, lives on in the form of Austin Stowell, who now plays a younger, greener version of the agent on the prequel series "NCIS: Origins.

John Carpenter's wildly underrated Vampires is heading to a new streaming home.

Per Peacock, John Carpenter's 1998 box office flop will be making its move to the streaming platform on February 1. Vampires will be joined by a long list of other fan-favorite vampire films making their way to the platform that very same day, including 30 Days of Night and the entire Twilight saga.

The Return of the Living Dead is getting a crowd-funded follow-up featuring several stars from the original, including two who already passed away.

Directed by horror icon John Carpenter from a script by Don Jakoby and based on John Steakley's 1992 novel Vampire$, 1998's Vampires is a neo-Western action horror experience set amidst the contemporary backdrop of suburban New Mexico. Like the novel, the film follows a crew of professional...

Two original Jurassic Park books ignited a successful movie franchise with numerous adaptations. Missing book characters, like Bobby Carter and Ed Regis, didn't make it to the big screen. Dinosaurs like Clarence the Velociraptor and Ralph the Triceratops had unique personalities in the books.

The Jurassic Park movies were adapted from two books by author Michael Crichton, but some of the characters from the novels didnt make it to the silver screen. The first novel, Jurassic Park, was released in 1990. Just three years later, Steven Spielberg directed the film version, an instant classic and one of the best titles of his career. Crichton followed with the 1995 novel The Lost World, and its film counterpart, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, came out in 1997. Since then, the franchise has grown and developed, resulting in several other Jurassic Park movies and TV shows.

These two books launched a massive franchise, including six movies...

The 1990 creature feature Tremors is one of my all-time favorite movies – and in 1996, it received one of the best direct-to-video sequels ever made when Tremors II: Aftershocks (watch it Here) hit store shelves. Today, Arrow Video announced that they’re bringing Tremors II to 4K on November 27th, and they’re also packing the release with new special features! Copies can be pre-ordered through the Arrow Video website.

Directed by S.S. Wilson, who also wrote the screenplay with Brent Maddock, Tremors II: Aftershocks has the following synopsis: After spending all the reward money from his first encounter with the giant, man-eating worms, the Graboids, Earl Bassett agrees to hunt more deadly creatures at a Mexican oil refinery for $50,000 each. Knowing he can’t take on the monsters alone, Earl recruits Burt Gummer, another veteran of the Nevada incident, to provide the weapons. However, Graboids are evolving to attack above ground…...

We’re getting this week started with a new episode of the Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? video series, and with this one we’re digging into the story behind Tremors II: Aftershocks (watch it Here) – the first direct-to-video sequel to the 1990 creature feature classic Tremors. Kevin Bacon didn’t return for this one, but Fred Ward and Michael Gross did… and Graboids weren’t the only things they had to worry about. Find out all about it by checking out the video embedded above!

A new episode of our The Black Sheep video series was just released through the JoBlo Horror Originals YouTube channel, and with this one we’re looking back at director John Carpenter’s 1998 film Vampires (watch it Here). A movie that has its share of fans, but still doesn’t get as much respect as some of Carpenter’s earlier films. To hear why we think Vampires deserves more love, check out the video embedded above.

Scripted by Don Jakoby and inspired by the novel Vampire by John Steakley, Vampires has the following synopsis:

Ever since his parents were murdered by vampires, Jack Crow has had one purpose in life: putting stakes through bloodsuckers’ hearts. With his battle-hardened crew of vampire killers and the assistance of the Catholic Church, Crow roams the New Mexico desert looking for undead lairs to annihilate. But he meets his match when, at a roadside motel,...

"The Hunter" was not Steve McQueen's finest hour, but it was his final hour-and-a-half on screen, so it's not as forgettable as it might've been. Written by Ted Leighton and Peter Hyams (who was fired from the project prior to principal photography), the lunk-headed action film is based on the real-life exploits of skip tracer Ralph "Papa" Thorson. It's the kind of role McQueen could nail in his sleep, but, despite being ill (though not yet diagnosed) with the cancer that would claim his life in 1980, he's admirably engaged. The movie might stink, but he does the best he can with poorly written material.

TV-movie specialist Buzz Kulik (who made many a grown man cry with 1971's "Brian's Song") is the credited director, but McQueen reportedly called the shots on set. The film is essentially a stunt showcase, and, as such, delivers a few memorable smash-ups. There's a fun car-versus-combine confrontation in a cornfield,...

Although the film stumbles during the dialogue scenes and the plot seems very familiar, Act of Valor entertains thanks to its incredible action sequences and the level of authenticity that is captured on the screen. Marketed around the fact the film features actual active duty Navy SEALs, Act of Valor was directed by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh from a screenplay by Kurt Johnstad. It stars Jason Cottle, Nestor Serrano, Ailsa Marshall, Gonzalo Menendez, Emilio Rivera, Dimiter D. Marinov, Thomas Rosales Jr., Marc Margulies, Dan Southworth, Drea Castro, Marissa Labog, Alex Veadov and Roselyn Sanchez. The film.s plot is fairly straight forward and follows a Seal team as they hunt down a terrorist before he has a chance...
