Dwayne Johnson Shares Behind-the-Scenes Photos from 'Red One. The holiday action-adventure also stars Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons, and Bonnie Hunt. Dwayne Johnson  has shared some behind-the-scenes images from his upcoming holiday-themed film,  Red One , and he's making some very intriguing comparisons for the direction the movie is taking. "Shooting our new Christmas franchise  Red One ," Johnson said, alongside images of production. "Think  JUMANJI  meets  MIRACLE ON 34TH ST  meets  HOBBS & SHAW  with a dash of  HARRY POTTER & ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE." The production photos show Johnson performing - massive, muscular stunts, no doubt - against a blue-screen backdrop on what certainly appears to be a spaceship, and another of him running along a pier. What the blue-screen will be showing when the finished product is ready remains to be seen - the plot continues to remain curiously vague at the time of writing. W...

The Real Reason 'Berserk' is So Horrifying. What creates Berserk’s terrifying atmosphere? What makes a good horror story? There are a lot of answers. It could be the ambiance of it, the settings and landscapes bathed in barely there light. It could be monsters, things that go bump in the night, and have designs that make your skin crawl. It could be cunning and malicious villains or events that mirror the terrible things that happen in real life. It could simply be the protagonist themselves, and their struggle to stay afloat in a dangerous world.  Berserk  is a series that has all of this. That isn’t a surprise; it’s a dark fantasy, known for its gore and brutality throughout. But, these things, while important to helping it develop the series’ horror undertones, are not what makes it scary. No, there is just one piece that solidifies the dread you feel as a member of the audience. And it can be summed up in one word. Philosophy loves to argue whether ...

That idea was shut down after Walt Disney Co. acquired LucasFilm   in 2012. Snyder then set up a deal with Deborah Snyder’s production company Stone Quarry and Netflix for  Rebel...

Why Is '1899's Silent Kid So Creepy? What is up with these kids? BY JEFFREY SPEICHER PUBLISHED 7 HOURS AGO What is up with these kids? Image via Netflix Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 1899 Season 1. There are a number of elements at work in the Netflix hit show  1899  that make it play as a suspenseful and mysterious thriller. Being separated from a larger civilization out on the wide open ocean aboard a ship provides isolation that can be unnerving. The prospect of being in an area where no one can come to your rescue or hear your cries for help if something goes awry is an uncomfortable feeling. Being among people who are from different countries also provides a communication gap that can also make us feel uneasy. Not being understood is something that can test your nerves. And, of course, coming upon an abandoned ship with no explanation of what happened to the over 1200 passengers on board is incredibly frightening. But few things are as ...
