Cloud.After four decades spent scaring moviegoers through all manner of supernatural subject matter, Kiyoshi Kurosawa has, with Cloud (2024), taken to exploring the psychological effects of a more everyday evil: capitalism. In this follow-up to his medium-length psychodrama Chime earlier this year (a film as cryptic and tantalizingly elusive as anything he’s recently endeavored), Kurosawa reconfigures a number of themes and ideas that have animated his long-running career in the horror genre, namely loneliness and the ways in which the internet can stoke malevolent forces from both within and without. Kurosawa has described Cloud as an “action film," a simultaneously apt and insufficient characterization for a movie operating on a slippery dialectical wavelength. It’s this cerebral approach to genre, rooted in the quotidian rather than otherworldly, that has led critics like Chris Fujiwara to place Kurosawa not alongside his contemporaries in the J-horror movement, but in the lineage...

Mario Murillo had heard enough. The longtime Charismatic Christian preacher, who got his start ministering to Jesus hippies in Berkeley in the late 1960s, began 2023 by blasting a pair of “false prophets.”

The duo were already notorious for touting false visions of a Trump re-election. Kat Kerr, whose heavenly lewk is a candy-pink bob and an American-flag shawl, prophesied that Trump would “win in 2020, write it down, it’s going to happen.” Robin D. Bullock, whose aesthetic is more mystic-’80s-leather-rocker, insisted God had revealed to him Trump would win “in a landslide.

Since its debut at E3 2018 in June, “Fallout 76” has mystified some fans of Bethesda Game Studios’ post-apocalyptic role-playing series. It’s not a purely single-player affair like past entries, but also not an online game that’s solely focused on aggressive player vs. player combat. In Bethesda’s view, “Fallout 76” finds an ideal middle ground between them.

Players may not fully understand the scope or moment-to-moment feel of the action until the pre-release beta test launches in October, but the game’s creators continue to try and set the stage as best they can—and assuage any fears in the meantime.

That was true once again this weekend at Bethesda’s QuakeCon convention outside of Dallas, Texas, in which “Fallout 76” development leads discussed new elements of this fall’s survival-centric adventure and tried to answer some of the community’s top questions.

“People who come to the office and play it,...
