Sonia Pizarro of Operation Repo fame has sadly passed away. The reality show, which ran for eleven seasons on Telemundo and TruTV, depicts stories of repossessions going awry in the style of a documentary series. It ran from 2006 to 2014 and was created by Luis Pizarro, who served as one of the stars of the show. Sonia, his sister, was brought in to serve as one of the main cast members and became the boss. She just might be the most memorable personality on the show and helped keep the show popular with viewers during an era that was completely dominated by reality television.

On Instagram, Pizarro's ex-husband, Froylan Tercaro, announced that she had died at the age of 60. The post included an image of Pizarro along with a statement expressing how sad he is to say goodbye. Tercaro says she will always have a "special place" in his heart despite their divorce.

"Looks like the Korean Elevator Game is indeed a big hoax." Global View Ent. has released an official trailer for an indie horror film called Followed, yet another horror film mixing social media mania with ghosts. We've seen way too many of these kind of films recently, and they never turn out any good. To gain more subscribers, a controversial social media influencer named "DropTheMike" stays at a cursed hotel ("one of the most haunted hotels in America") to terrifying results. What a remarkably unoriginal concept that won't scare anyone. Followed stars Matthew Solomon, John Savage, Sam Valentine, Tim Drier, Caitlin Grace, Kelsey Griswold, and Christopher Ross Martin. Why do all of these found footage horror films look the same, with all the usual cliche, cheesy moments and jump scares and boring ghost surprises. Ugh. Here's the new official trailer (+ first poster) for Antoine Le's Followed, direct from YouTube...
