gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-05 19:02:34

Nature shows tend to have horror baked in. Sure, we watch them to be educated, but also for the alarmingly gasp-inducing, uncomfortably emotional moments: killer whales gobbling adorable baby seals, furious lions battling each other for supremacy, uncomfortably large spiders just being themselves… you know how it goes. Horror studio Blumhouse is leaning hard into that idea with Nightmares of Nature, a new documentary series coming to Netflix. A joint production of Blumhouse Television and Plims

Amazon is planning to use artificial intelligence to recreate destroyed footage from Orson Welles' 1942 film "The Magnificent Ambersons" — but the late directors' estate is calling bull.
