Every week, Netflix unveils its Top 10 lists for the week before, ranking TV shows and movies by viewership. It seems like the whole world had been preparing for the release of the zombie horror, 28 Years Later, by watching its predecessor, 28 Weeks Later, on Netflix. Actually, when I say "the whole world," I mean places that are not the US. That's because while 28 Weeks Later ranked No. 8 in Netflix's Top 10 films for the week of June 16, its thanks to viewers in 36 other countries. The film is

The Wizard of Oz is landing on the Vegas strip at the Sphere this summer, and it’s not without some controversy. The Warner Bros. classic Technicolor feature starring Judy Garland is being presented in a special limited engagement at the massive spherical stadium venue in Las Vegas, presumably in between music artist residencies.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ Is an Antihero Upgrade, But at a Cost

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-08-27 19:01:18

M3GAN 2.0 delivers a bloody slay of a sequel, one that elevates Blumhouse’s sci-fi horror darling and gives its icon an action-packed upgrade–one that works, albeit at the expense of the original’s horror roots. You can’t keep a killer down, or a killer doll for that matter, as the end of the first film teased, as 2.0 opens with M3GAN (voiced by Jenna Davis, and physically portrayed by Amie Donald) having taken refuge in the cloud after he defeat.

I Watched ‘Jurassic World Dominion: Extended Version’ So You Don’t Have To

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-28 02:51:37

If you’ve ever been curious to see the impact of editing on a movie, the extended version of Jurassic World Dominion is a fascinating case. Clocking in 14 minutes longer than the original film, the extended version (which is streaming on Peacock) is somehow both better and worse than its predecessor at the exact same time. The new scenes add welcome scope and pathos to the film, taking a movie that was all over the place and giving it some welcome focus. However, those scenes are also poison to

M3GAN 2.0 review: The AI camp queen pulls a Terminator 2

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-28 05:00:49

M3GAN was an unexpected hit, and for good reason: It was the best killer toy horror film since Child's Play, combining comedy and camp with a meme-worthy android lead. For the sequel, writer/director Gerard Johnstone (working off a story from him and the first film's writer Akela Cooper), have taken a few notes from Terminator 2. This time around, there's an even more evil android on the scene (Amelia, played by Ivanna Sakhno) who wants AI to rule the world. And there's only one somewhat less ev

Ranking Pixar's Best Movies: Everything From 'Elio' to 'Toy Story'

Pixar is known for making heartwarming, imaginative movies that are enjoyable for both kids and adults. Since the first Toy Story movie came out in 1995, the studio has leveraged animated storytelling to tap into the human experience in beautiful, unexpected and humbling ways. Its filmmakers have explored our struggles with tragedy, loss and grief (including questions about the meaning of life), as well as our experiences with love, family and friendship.

Zombie Dong Will Return in ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-29 14:45:00

Two topics of conversation dominated the opening weekend of Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later. One, that wild ending that introduced a seemingly out-of-place controversial new character. And two was the sheer amount, and size, of the penises seen in the film. Throughout 28 Years Later, the Rage virus-infected zombies that run around the mainland are all naked. As one would be if you’d been running around killing people as a zombie for 30 years. That means, yes, there’s lots of nudity in th

In 2017, Hulu made television history by becoming the first streaming network to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, thanks to the phenomenon that was The Handmaid’s Tale (which returned in April for its sixth and final season). While Netflix has largely cornered the streaming market on original movies—and even managed to persuade A-listers like Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and Martin Scorsese to come aboard—Hulu is starting to find its footing in features too, securing the

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-08-30 02:00:43

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way. Elio directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian even dip into space horror for one of the film’s most memorable scenes. It was so unexpected for a Disney family film and worked so cleverly in the context of the movie, it left me wanting more of this tone in the future of Pixar films. Early in the film, an Elio clone made by the Comuniverse is sent to Earth so his aunt doesn’t notice the real Elio is gone. The clon

Danny Boyle Explains How ’28 Years Later’ Got its Creepy Poem

Before 28 Years Later’s release, you probably saw its trailers, which featured a recording of man performing a military chant alongside visuals of the film’s destroyed world and infected. That would be “Boots,” a 1903 poem by Jungle Book creator Rudyard Kipling (and performed by Taylor Holmes in 1915) inspired by the monotony of British soldiers marching hundreds of miles in southern Africa.

That’s because this new zombie tale is the first film of a proposed trilogy, one that has its second film coming in January of 2026. With at least one sequel guaranteed, Boyle and his writer, Alex Garland, can safely leave several threads lingering, offering hints of what’s to come. Let’s break it down with full spoilers.
