There are many animals associated with the world of darkness: bats, rats, black cats, hooting owls and slithering snakes are all horror film fixtures. But, consider the humble primate — humanity's clever cousin, benign enough to help out around the house, or entertain families under the big top. As friendly as Hollywood makes these animals seem, they have proven to be excellent villains. In anticipation of the Stephen King film The Monkey, here are ten of cinema's most terrifying simians.

Though King Kong is clearly the reigning champion of hominid horror, this collection of underrated evil apes, homicidal chimps, and human-primate hybrids will keep horror fans busy until The Monkey arrives on February 21. Readers can even use this list of films by the likes of Peter Jackson and George Romero to enjoy a monkey movie marathon while they wait for the latest Stephen King adaptation to hit the big screen.

Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise have made it their mission to deliver the best thrill rides in cinema with the Mission: Impossible franchise. However, 2023’s Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning proved to be a disappointment in many ways despite delivering what any other franchise would consider a reasonable box office result. As the pair prepare to bring Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning to cinemas this summer, the filmmaker has addressed the lackluster response to its predecessor – something which led to a complete overhaul of the new movie.

Dead Reckoning was released after a long production that was hindered by many issues, including the fallout of the Covid pandemic, which saw its budget soar to over $300 million, making it unlikely to pull in a huge profit. Thrown up against several other blockbuster movies, the action thriller was able to hold its own well enough to not be a complete flop, but...

The Walking Dead is an award-winning series, with 11 seasons and multiple spinoffs set all across America and Europe. It starred household names such as Andrew Lincoln, Danai Guria, Lauren Cohan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Norman Reedus, who’ve been the avatars for some truly brilliant story writers that have told some truly brilliant stories.

The Walking Dead franchise wouldn’t be where it is today without its writers, producers, and directors—like Greg Nicotero, who directed numerous episodes of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. Nicotero is now moving from one post-apocalyptic show to another, joining the writing team for Swan Song.

When a film starts with a quote from Mary Shelley, it’s tempting to predict exactly where the story might be going. Sure enough, “Dead Lover” features the resurrection of a dead creature, and yet, writer-director Grace Glowicki keeps surprising the audience and gives much more than they expected. The characters she creates and the situations she puts them in are bizarrely funny. The visual ingenuity in costumes, art direction and makeup proves “Dead Lover” a singular and strange vision. Premiering in Sundance’s Midnight section before going on to play Rotterdam and other festivals, the unique film should garner a small but fervent audience.

Glowicki’s peculiar tale starts with the introduction of its main character, whom the filmmaker plays herself: a stinky gravedigger looking for love. She’s been around corpses for such a long time that she reeks of their smell and thus cannot find anyone who wants to be her mate.

It’s been nearly 30 years since the Tom Cruise-led Mission Impossiblefranchise debuted its first movie in 1996. Cruise is known for doing his own stunts as his character Ethan Hunt, but his co-star Hayley Atwell is revealing that a lot of the scenes are executed on the spot.

Per Deadline, Atwell, who played Grace in 2023’s Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Oneand is reprising her role for this year’s eighth installment, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, said she thought up an idea for her character. Atwell, who has also appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness(2022) and Paddington in Peru (2024), said her idea that Grace is a pickpocket was included in the script for the movie. Improvisation was a key part of the movie, she said.

Few film franchises have captured the imagination of audiences as profoundly as Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. With stunning visuals, a sweeping score, and a cast that brought J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved characters to life, the movies are often hailed as cinematic masterpieces. However, for fans deeply familiar with the books, certain changes or omissions in the films stand out. Despite their love for the movies, some fans can't help but revisit these scenes with a critical eye, noting where the adaptations diverged from the source material.

Yet, these nitpicks don't diminish the monumental achievement of the films. Jackson and his team faced the daunting task of condensing Tolkien's sprawling narrative into a cohesive cinematic experience, and the trilogy remains a masterclass in fantasy filmmaking. Still, even the most dedicated admirers of the movies find themselves pondering these deviations, not out of disdain but from a deep reverence for the books.

Among his best-known roles are Father Bear on Little Bear, Braveheart the Lion on The Care Bears, and Chief Quimby on Inspector Gadget.

Hennessey did voice work for a number of other notable animated series in the ‘80s and ‘90s, including Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Dinosaucers, RoboCop, Police Academy: The Animated Series, C.O.P.S., Beetlejuice, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, The Raccoons,...

BayView Entertainment LLC is excited to announce that it has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Film Masters to bring restorations of film classics to the masses via streaming video platforms.

The agreement with Film Masters heralds BayView’s further commitment to classic film restorations. BayView’s 2023 release of the 3-D Film Archive’s restoration of Robot Monster (1953) became one of their biggest releases of the year. This year’s Film is Dead. Long Live Film!, Peter Flynn’s documentary about film collecting as preservation, has been a big success on the film festival circuit, and will soon be broadcast on Turner Classic Movies.

Having previously founded the preservation/restoration-minded The Film Detective, producer-archivist Phil Hopkins started Film Masters as a natural offshoot, with a focus on giving niche cinema first-class attention. “We are archivists, committed to storing film elements for future generations and reviving films that have been sitting dormant for decades.

Marvel Comics has frequently dabbled in horror throughout its lifetime. Before Marvel existed, its predecessor company, Atlas Comics, were well known for publishing hundreds of serial horror stories that could be likened to silverscreen monster movies and unsettlingly uncanny situational horror. When Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Steve Ditko embraced superheroes, Marvel did bring over many of Atlass pop-horror series, but ultimately fazed out the genre going into the 1980s.

However, in the last few decades, and especially in recent years, Marvel has once again embraced its roots in horror. Thanks to the disgustingly grotesque and unsettling talents of comics best writers and artists, Marvel has successfully introduced what used to be a very controlled image to the unnatural and terrifying perversions that the horror genre provides. Fortunately for horror fans, there are many series that could have been pulled for this list,...

Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) was resurrected at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, but his return was actually foreshadowed much earlier in the film than most people realized. Barbossa, who is one of the Pirates of the Caribbean characters who was inspired by a real person, died at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl after Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) lifted the curse, turned the pirate ship's crew back into mortals, and shot Barbossa in the chest.

He wouldn't stay dead for long, however, as Tia Dalma (Naomi Harris) brought him back to life in the sequel, ironically, to save Jack from Davey Jones' locker. Barbossa's resurrection was a major surprise for Dead Man's Chest, but the film actually set up Barbossa's return, albeit quite subtly, long before he was revealed. One detail not only proves that the pirate captain...

Milla Jovovich will star in the concluding chapter of George A. Romero’s popular “Dead” zombie film series. Titled “Twilight of the Dead,” the movie represents the end of Romero’s legendary franchise that began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead.” Brad Anderson will direct the film, which is based on a story treatment written by Romero before his death in 2017.

Production on “Twilight of the Dead” is scheduled to start in March 2025. Jovovich, known for her role leading the “Resident Evil” movies, will play the main character. She joins cast member Betty Gabriel, who appeared in Jordan Peele’s “Get Out.” The story takes place on a remote island and follows the few remaining humans fighting off hordes of the undead.

Almost every human in the apartment building that acts as the setting forEvil Dead Rise are killed by Deadites, but many viewers are wondering if someone else died: the cat. Although the Evil Dead franchise constantly tears through humans in an attempt to maximize gore, animals are rarely a target of the Deadites' rampages. However, a cat in Evil Dead Rise may have become one of the franchise's few animal victims, with the ending of Evil Dead Rise leaving the animal's fate ambiguous.

Evil Dead Rise is the most recent entry in Sam Raimi's beloved horror franchise, bringing the series' Deadites and iconic excessive gore back to the big screens for the first time since the 2013 Evil Dead remake. This time the film focuses on a family living in an apartment building, and once three siblings are faced with taking down their Deadite mom, the only one who can...

The Evil Dead franchise has steadily revealed more and more about the Necronomicon and its different variants. The cursed tome is at the core of the franchise, debuting in 1981's The Evil Dead as the source of the mystical maladies that befall Ash Williams and his friends. A version of the book has subsequently been vital to the plots of each movie and show in the Evil Dead timeline, even when shifting focus to different characters or settings. However, that's in part because there's more than just one version of the book.

Films like Army of Darkness and Evil Dead Rise expanded the lore of the franchise by hinting at the separate copies of the book.

Evil Dead Rise introduces the franchises third Book of the Dead, which unleashes a horrifying new Deadite monster. Lee Cronins Evil Dead Rise is the fifth movie in Sam Raimis Evil Dead franchise, and while Evil Dead Rise's characters have no direct connections to past characters and events, there is one key uniting factor: The Book of the Dead. Each installment of the franchise sees the lead character contend with the cursed Book of the Dead (A.K.A. Naturom Demonto or Necronomicon Ex-Mortis), the books unique demonic creatures, and their Deadite friends and family.

In Evil Dead Rise, Beths nephew Danny (Morgan Davies) discovers vinyl recordings made by priests and an entombed book underneath his familys apartment building; he unintentionally releases a demonic spirit from the book, which turns his mother and Beths older sister, Ellie, into the lead Deadite.

Evil Dead Rise's cast of characters spends the film trapped in an apartment building with Deadites, delivering a brutal fresh take on the central premise of the original Evil Dead film. The film largely avoids the classic characters of the series, including Bruce Campbell's Ash Williams.

Ash had appeared in every prior entry in the franchise, even just as a post-credits cameo in Evil Dead. Although Ash is absent from the plot and ending of Evil Dead Rise, that doesn't mean Campbell's influence isn't felt in the film. In fact,...

The zombie hordes in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster are relentless and can easily overwhelm Frank if he isn’t quick on his feet. Thankfully, the mall in Willamette, Colorado, is filled with a number of great items and weapons to help Frank stay safe and make it through the days.

However, just the things you find around the mall are not enough to ensure your survival. Frank will have to evolve as a survivor, and this happens on a level-by-level basis. As the player earns new levels, Frank will gain new abilities that will help him become more lethal and durable.

If you’re wondering how to kill Adam the Clown, the annoyingly mobile Psychopath you face in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster during the ‘Out of Control’ scoop in Wonderland Plaza, you’ve come to the right place.

Once a beloved mall entertainer, Adam was driven insane after witnessing a zombie horde tear through his audience. You’ll find him guarding the malfunctioning Space Rider roller coaster, which he refuses to shut down because the noise keeps the zombies away.

Armed with two chainsaws, this boss is highly acrobatic for his size and unpredictable in his attacks. Since you face him pretty early on in the game, it can easily be a huge obstacle in your progression, even for those who played the original Dead Rising 1.

Not to worry, this Dead Rising walkthrough will teach you how to kill Adam the Clown using different strategies that will bring him down swiftly.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for His Three Daughters.

Elizabeth Olsen's character in the Netflix family drama film His Three Daughters sings a few very specific songs to her father and sisters. The outstanding albeit small cast of His Three Daughters is led by Carrie Coon's domineering Katie, Elizabeth Olsen's eccentric Christina, and Lyonne's rugged and down-to-earth Rachel. Olsen plays Christina, the youngest sister in His Three Daughters. Judged by her sisters for her anomalous personality and experimental past, Christina is the only one of them who does not live in New York and instead lives in the western part of the United States.

His Three Daughters was released on Netflix on September 20, 2024 following a two-week theatrical run in select theaters. The film originally premiered over a year ago at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2023. The film debuted with a near-perfect 99% Rotten Tomatoes score upon its Netflix release,...

Sharon has been worrying her family on The Young and the Restless. Nick and Mariah are desperate to get to Sharon before she does something horrible. But what if their angst has been for nothing? What if Sharon has everything under control—and has from the very beginning?

Crazy Like a Scheming Fox

Sharon (Sharon Case) gave us all a major clue last week when she had Dead and Bloody Cameron (Linden Ashby) vocalize that she knows he’s not a ghost but just a manifestation of her own inner thought process. Sharon isn’t having a psychotic break—she’s just talking to that voice in her head that we all have.

For Pinocchio, it was Jiminy Cricket. For Sharon, it’s a guy she killed. Hey, to each their own, we’re not here to judge!

Sane and...

The world lost an icon on both the small and big screen on Monday. James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93. Star Wars fans remember him as the voice of the evil Darth Vader, but he was also fondly remembered for many other roles throughout his storied career.

Here are his top five that did not take place in the Star Wars galaxy.

5. Norman Royster - Frasier Season 4 "Roz's Krantz & Gouldenstein Are Dead"

Although only on screen for a short time in the Season 4 episode of Frasier, Jones's portrayal of a blind man who keeps a mask of his wife to remember her by leaves an impact on anyone who sees it. His humor and chemistry with Kelsey Kramer are also remarkable.

4. Mr. Mertle - The Sandlot

Jones's turn as a blind man who befriends the kids on the baseball field in the 1993 film The Sandlot is as humorous as it is touching.
