When it comes to major revivals, no franchise has gotten as big of a boost in recent years as Predator with its latest film Prey. The critically acclaimed sci-fi horror film brought a new era and life to the franchise. Since its release in 2022, there has been a ton of merchandise attached to the prequel with a Predator film on the horizon. As we wait for this Sci-fi horror universe to expand, Neca has just unveiled their latest Prey figure.

A Quiet Place: Day One is the highly anticipated prequel film to John Krasinski‘s sci-fi film franchise A Quite Place. Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, the apocalyptic horror film shows us the day when the aliens in A Quiet Place franchise invaded Earth, and instead of the Abbott family, we see the story of a terminally ill woman who tries to survive in New York City with her cat and an English law student named Eric. A Quiet Place: Day One stars Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn in the lead roles, with Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou, Eliane Umuhire, and Nico & Schnitzel starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the intense survival thriller and alien invasion elements in A Quiet Place: Day One, here are some similar films you could watch next.

The following contains major spoilers for Grace Series 4, Episode 1, "Dead Man's Time," now streaming on BritBox.

The crime drama has become a British television staple because of series like Grace, which returns for its fourth series on BritBox for U.S. audiences. The show follows a proven path to success: take the works of a successful British mystery author -- in this case, Peter James -- find a compelling lead actor, and build a series around those two things. But in the hands of veterans like writer Ed Whitmore and star John Simm, it never feels formulaic. Rather, it feels like an example of why British crime dramas are so good.

The Grace Series 4 premiere "Dead Man's Time" adapts James' novel of the same name, which centers on an elderly woman attacked in her home. But what seems like a typical home invasion, of course, turns out to be something...

This article contains minor spoilers for "The First Omen."

When The Walt Disney Company first acquired 20th Century Studios, fans had a field day joking about the characters in their library that were now under the Disney banner. Ripley from "Alien," Tyler Durden from "Fight Club," the titular "Predator," and all of the "Planet of the Apes" characters were now residents at the House of Mouse. Suddenly, viral memes declaring Dr. Frank-n-Furter from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as a technical Disney Princess were inescapable. Ignoring the blatant inaccuracy of that statement, it does serve as a reminder that Disney is and will likely forever be synonymous with family-friendly fare.

When Steve Asbell took over as president of 20th Century Studios, he spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and assured everyone that despite being a part of Disney, this branch would be closer to "general entertainment," saying, "Some films will be more Disney-adjacent — 'Avatar,...

For every Prey or Blade Runner 2049 there are a dozen uninspired retreads of beloved old sci-fi franchises. So a Matrix reboot may not be the best news

Somewhere over the digital horizon, down the rabbit hole and straight on til morning, a new Matrix episode is brewing. After handing us three deeply average (at best) sequels to the majestic original 1999 film, studio Warner Bros has decided to hand the keys of the Nebuchadnezzar to Drew Goddard, whose writing credits include The Martian, The Cabin in the Woods, and Cloverfield. It’s probably a good idea, because the series’ creators, Lana and Lilly Wachowski, have clearly run out of ideas if 2021’s completely superfluous The Matrix Resurrections is anything to go by.

Resurrections joined the ranks of belated sequels to science fiction and fantasy totems that never quite live up to the standards of the original, yet somehow still keep coming.

What to expect when you’re expecting … the Antichrist?

Filmmaker Arkasha Stevenson delivers her gleefully gruesome answer to that increasingly popular question in 20th Century’s terrifying and triumphant “The First Omen.” It’s a nominally named soft franchise reboot and the vastly superior (if accidental) answer to Neon’s “Immaculate” with Sydney Sweeney, also in theaters now.

Yes, both horror films explore what happens when a child of Christ is involuntarily forced to carry a demon baby to term. And yes, both movies have some merit; trite but true, Damien just doesn’t have that “Cassie from ‘Euphoria’” pull. But only Stevenson’s spin on “The Omen” can tie its borderline Nc-17 terror to a multi-decade genre legacy suddenly feasting on noticeably improved visual artistry and a narratively satisfying revamp of stale IP.

In “The First Omen,” Nell Tiger Free stars as Margaret, an American nun in training come...

Director Luke Greenfield's enthusiasm and creativity, along with a youthful cast, make The Girl Next Door a standout high school movie. Despite mixed reviews initially, the film has gained a cult following. Emile Hirsch reflects on his unexpected career trajectory, transitioning from playing local oddball characters to tougher roles in films like Prey.

In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, Emile Hirsch revealed why he thinks his 2004 teen sex comedy The Girl Next Door still holds up all these years later. The movie, which stars Hirsch alongside Elisha Cuthbert, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, with the actor believing that The Girl Next Door possesses all the ingredients needed to make a great high school movie, including a passionate director, a great script, and a cast who “are actually the age of being in high school.”

"Director Luke Greenfield was really enthusiastic and working with all of his creativity and energy,...

Alien: Romulus excites fans with a terrifying new addition to the franchise, focusing on practical effects and honoring its roots in the Alien universe. Star Cailee Spaeny finds it daunting following in the footsteps of Sigourney Weaver in the franchise. Balancing elements from the original Alien and Aliens movies, Romulus will draw fans in with nods to the past while still creating new, chilling horror.

Alien: Romulus has very quickly rocketed up the list of most anticipated movies of 2024 following the release of its first teaser, and now star Cailee Spaeny has shared her thoughts on the daunting task of honoring the franchise’s most iconic character; Ellen Ripley.

Ryan Phillippe, the star of the new film Prey, reflected on his journey as an actor that started when he played the first gay teenager on TV in his exclusive uInterview.

Phillippe explained that his fascination with acting started when he skipped church one day as a teenager after he faked an illness. “Cool Hand Luke was playing and watching a guy who was the epitome of masculinity, and so good looking, so charismatic, and then watching the emotional beats he plays in that movie,” Phillippe told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “I just was fascinated by the emotion, and how he was able to make that so authentic. And that really started my exploration into what acting was.”

Phillippe continued that his path into the business was not easy, but his parents supported his interest and bought him books about the art. “I started reading about what acting actually was,...

Back when Speed Racer premiered in 2008, it received a pretty mild welcome from both critics and fans. The reception is still registered at Rotten Tomatoes: It earned a lousy 42% approval rate from critics and a just-ok 60% audience score. And yet… it was a general feeling that there was something about it. In an interview to MovieWeb to promote his new movie Prey, Emile Hirsch decided to take a trip down memory lane and talk about how the perception of the movie directed by The Wachowskis (The Matrix film series) has changed over the years.

All these years later, Emile Hirsch still resembles the young lad that led the charge in a certain raunchy comedy known as The Girl Next Door. Two decades later, in his most recent movie Prey, Hirsch plays an entirely different character, a sort of hotheaded wildcard of a pilot trying to escort hopeless Americans away from Africa after a local village is threatened. Leading the group of passengers aboard the doomed plane is a doctor played by Ryan Phillippe, who Hirsch has known personally. It may come as a shock to know they hadn't worked together before Prey.

That's just one of the fun facts we learned in our latest interview with Hirsch, who also opened up about a memorable experience with Spielberg and why Speed Racer (2008) has become a cult classic.

Injured, frightened, and being tracked by the extremists, this ragtag group must fight for their survival from both man and beast where only the strong will survive.
