gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-13 11:00:42

The new War of the Worlds movie is even more terrible than you’ve heard but also hilarious

There’s a micro-genre of film called “screenlife movies,” where all of the action takes place on a desktop computer. In 2014, Unfriended made a horror movie out of video chat and text messages, and it was successful enough to inspire a sequel. The more thoughtful Searching from 2018, in which a father attempts to find his missing daughter, felt novel and a bit more promising for the genre, even if an hour and a half really tested the amount of time you could look at a scrunched John Cho and Mac

Disney Animation's ambitious and innovative 1985 film The Black Cauldron was an experiment that dramatically failed, arguably putting the future of the studio in question.
