Midnight Sun, a Twilight novel by Stephanie Meyer, is heading to the small screen at Netflix – in animated series form.

There was a time in the early 2010s when Twilight was just about the biggest film franchise around.

It comprises five films – 2008’s Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, 2009’s New Moon, directed by Chris Weitz, 2010’s Eclipse, directed by David Slade, and the two part finale Breaking Dawn, directed by Bill Condon and released in 2011 and 2012. Their success was such that two parody films were also released in quick succession, the much maligned Vampire’s Suck and Breaking Wind.

The films followed Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan as she becomes romantically involved with vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, and werewolf Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner. Which all leads to a battle with vampire coven The Volturi.

When we say that Netflix has something for everyone it is true for fans of all genres but especially true for the horror genre fans. With an incredible creator like Mike Flanagan who made brilliant horror shows and movies, Netflix has abundant peak horror content. So, today we thought of listing what we thought were the best horror shows on Netflix.

Midnight Mass

Midnight Mass is a gothic supernatural horror miniseries created by Mike Flanagan. The Netflix series is set in a small island town and it follows the story of a young returning to his hometown after spending four years in prison for a drunk-driving accident that killed someone. He arrives in the town at the same time as a mysterious priest who revives the faith of people in the town but what the town doesn’t know is that he is hiding something sinister. Midnight Mass stars Zach Gilford,...

Surprise! Elizabeth Reaser is now married!

In a new profile with Vogue published on Thursday, April 4, the 48-year-old actress, best known for playing Esme Cullen in the Twilight franchise, and now-husband Bruce Gilbert privately eloped in a small Italian ceremony in August 2023.

Keep reading to find out more…“Originally, we were making these huge lists of people to invite but we realized pretty quickly it didn’t feel right for us,” Elizabeth shared. “We decided to elope instead, with a couple of friends as witnesses.”

Those guests included Sarah Paulson and partner Holland Taylor.

Elizabeth met Bruce - a composer who won an Academy Award for his work on Everything Everywhere All At Once – in 2017 when he was walking his dogs around their neighborhood in Silver Lake, Los Angeles and she was hosting a dog playdate.

“We owe our dogs everything!” Elizabeth joked.

Five years later, Bruce proposed to Elizabeth while on vacation in Italy,...

Known for starring in TV series like Justified and Invincible, Walton Goggins is sharing the screen with the Emmy-nominated actor Pedro Pascal in his new film, The Uninvited. The movie follows Rose, whose dinner party is crashed by a stranger, leading to a night of emotional turmoil as she confronts her past, including a former flame and the sacrifices she’s made for her family.

The Uninvited

The film, which recently premiered at the SXSW, has been receiving positive reviews for the story, its direction, and the cast’s performance. And Goggins has recently shared that it is actually inspired by a real-life incident he experienced while hosting a similar party with his wife and film director Nadia Conners.

The Incident that Inspired Walton Goggins’ New Film The Uninvited

In a recent conversation with Variety, the 52-year-old actor Walton Goggins and Nadia Conners reflected on the incident that inspired their new film The Uninvited.

One night, not so very long ago, Walton Goggins and Nadia Conners were getting ready to host a cocktail party for about 150 people when an elderly woman showed up outside their Los Angeles home. She was confused and disoriented, asking Conners to help open the garage door because her clicker wasn’t working.

“She thought she was home,” remembers Conners. “I looked through her phonebook, trying to find someone who knew her and who could help, but most of the people in it were dead. She had outlived her circle of friends.”

Later, after the police had arrived to help the woman, Conners returned to the party and shared what had happened with her guests. “I was telling this story and trying to explain to people why it had impacted me so deeply. The reaction was sort of like, ‘Great, you got her back home.'”

“People thought it was...

It’s a scientific fact that no amount of prior prep time can ever make a host feel truly prepared when guests start arriving for a dinner party. Something always falls through the cracks, and even the most natural entertainers are destined to find themselves half-dressed and cursing their rude friends for having the gall to ring the doorbell ten minutes after the time on the invitation. So when Rose (Elizabeth Reaser) is in the thick of those agonizing final minutes before her garden party starts, the last thing she wants to see is a confused elderly woman pulling into her driveway insisting that Rose’s Hollywood mansion is actually her house.

But a movie called “The Uninvited” wouldn’t be much fun if only the invited guests show up, would it? Rose soon finds her party — which she never wanted to throw in the first place, but agreed to...

As its title suggests, there’s a limited guest list in “The Uninvited,” a keen critique of Hollywood that will play best to the insider set that Rose (Elizabeth Reaser) and Sammy Wright (Walton Goggins) welcome into their gated villa in the hills.

Writer-director Nadia Conners clearly knows of what she speaks when throwing a party meant to impress. It isn’t hard to imagine that the real-life wife of Goggins, whose career has only thrived more as he’s gotten older, has heard something similar to the voicemail left for Rose in the early moments of Conners’ directorial debut. The message informs the actress that she’s now too old to play the mother of a 6-year-old when she’s barely into her 40s. (Never mind that her own son Wilder is around that age.) Yet unlike Conners, no one has probably told Rose that she might make a...

Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster Twilight franchise is heading to the small screen, and here are the details.

There was a time in the early 2010s when Twilight was just about the biggest film franchise around.

There's a reason the young adult dystopia fad took off when it did in the 21st century. After a decade that saw the U.S. waging multiple wars overseas and a worldwide financial crisis, stories centering on oppressive, totalitarian governments and socioeconomic inequality very much spoke to the concerns of young people. While Norman Patridge's 2006 novel "Dark Harvest" is a horror-fantasy rather than sci-fi and came out two years before the first "Hunger Games" book, it, too, was clearly informed by what was happening in the 2000s, particularly how the United States' "War on Terror" paralleled its approach to the Cold War and Vietnam back in the 1960s.

By comparison, director David Slade's "Dark Harvest" movie adaptation was late to the party when it finally came together, only to be bounced back multiple times as a result of Covid-19 before quietly being released on digital just in time for the 2023 scary season.

Director David Slade (30 Days of Night) dishes up a devilishly delicious Halloween treat with MGM’s Dark Harvest. Slade and screenwriter Michael Gilio deliver plenty of gore and gruesome deaths, and the R-rating is not only justified but embraced.

It’s made clear straight away that there’s something wrong with the small town of Bastion, something that only the death of a terrifying creature known as Sawtooth Jack (think Slenderman with a pumpkin head) can fix. However, it’s also clear that killing this supernatural beast isn’t a once-and-done event.

Each Halloween, Sawtooth Jack rises from the cornfields and makes his way into town. If Sawtooth Jack survives and reaches the church before the bell tolls midnight, then the town will be destroyed. If he’s slaughtered – and the candy and treats stuffed inside him...

We’re just two days away from the release of David Slade’s Dark Harvest, an adaptation of Norman Partridge’s Halloween novel.

Sawtooth Jack rises on October 13, and the film will be available on Digital outlets at home. It’s also coming to theaters for one night only at Alamo Drafthouse Theaters October 11.

While you wait, check out the full image gallery below for a sneak peek.

In the film…

“In a cursed town, the annual harvest becomes a brutal battle for survival. On Halloween 1963, Sawtooth Jack, a terrifying legend, rises from the cornfields, threatening the town’s children. Groups of boys unite to defeat the murderous scarecrow before midnight. Richie, a rebellious outcast, joins the run, motivated by his brother’s previous victory. As the hunt progresses, Richie makes a shocking discovery and faces a pivotal choice to break the relentless cycle.”

Norman Partridge’s 2006 Bram Stoker Award-winning novel Dark Harvest introduced a grim Halloween hunt set in a scenic 1963 hamlet. Like a campfire tale, the brisk novel embraced Halloween iconography and small-town rot, told with an almost poetic prose and simplicity befitting of a Twilight Zone episode. Director David Slade (30 Days of Night) and screenwriter Michael Gilio (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) adhere to the novel’s essence, unleashing Halloween carnage that upstages the barebones story.

Dark Harvest reveals the ominous origins of its title straightaway with an introduction to the annual Halloween hunt that takes place in a picturesque but cursed rural town. Every Halloween, the legendary Sawtooth Jack rises from the cornfields, where he must fight through a gauntlet of murderous teen boys, all eager to snuff him out lest he make his way to the town’s church by midnight. It’s kill or be killed,...

Directed by David Slade, the long awaited Dark Harvest, an adaptation of Norman Partridge’s novel, is finally releasing this week.

Sawtooth Jack rises on October 13, and the film will be available on Digital outlets at home. It’s also coming to theaters for one night only at Alamo Drafthouse Theaters October 11.

How much gore can you expect? Dark Harvest has been rated “R” for…

“Strong horror violence and gore, language throughout and brief drug use.”

A new urban legend comes to life in the new trailer for Dark Harvest. The trailer starts with the ominous, almost Grimm fairy tale-esque narration that says, “It’s Halloween. You know what that means. Old Sawtooth Jack is gonna rise from the cornfields. It’s gotta be stopped. Kill or be killed.” David Slade returns to a grittier tone after the Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night director took on one of the chapters in the Twilight franchise, helming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The director also returns to features after Slade tried his hand at television with Breaking Bad and Black Mirror. He also once set to make a series, Red Bird Lane, with Crispin Glover and Susan Sarandon until Max (HBO Max at the time) opted not to continue with it.

"If you're born in this town, you're cursed." MGM has unveiled an official trailer for a horror movie called Dark Harvest, the latest film project from horror filmmaker David Slade. This was originally set to open in 2022, but was delayed and now the studio is dumping it direct-to-vod to watch at home starting in October during Halloween season. I guess they didn't think a theatrical release is worth it? Adapted from the book of the same name, it's set in a small town where the young men must confront a creature each year in the hopes that they will win a chance to leave. A legendary monster called October Boy terrorizes residents in a small Midwestern town when he rises from the cornfields every Halloween with his butcher knife and makes his way toward those brave enough to confront him. Every year the local boys get ready for the "Run...

Synopsis: As the new Japanese Heisei era began in 1989, Muranishi (Takayuki Yamada) stood at the summit of the adult video world, putting out a large number of videos in his themed series. However, none of them reached the legendary status of “I Like It S&m Style,” the masterpiece he produced with Kuroki (Misato Morita). Kuroki yearns to produce another work with Muranishi, but this desire is left unfulfilled as a gap slowly forms between them. During this time, Muranishi is urged to expand into satellite broadcasting.

Members of the Screen Actors and Writers Guilds picketed outside of Netflix in Los Angeles on Tuesday in the hopes of sending an important message to the streaming giant: They think Netflix has the opportunity to lead other streaming services and studios toward reaching a deal with the writers (WGA) and actors guilds (SAG-AFTRA) since they’re also responsible for creating the current status quo.

Picketing members told Rolling Stone that over the years, while streaming services have tried to figure out the best business models on both the front and back ends,...

The Ouija: Origin of Evil episode of The Black Sheep was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Brandon Nally, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

The Ouija board, and that’s weejee board not weeja board with all due respect to Joe Bob Briggs, has been a constant source of fascination since it’s inception in 1890. Ghostly movements and other supernatural appearances went back further than that and there were crude inceptions before 1890 but that’s when the board as we know it came about. It was commercialized sometime later and of course; it’s showed up as a device in horror movies ever since. The Witchboard series that started in 1986 is probably the most popular series that features the spirit communicator but another, more straightforward series called Ouija is also out there. While the first one that came out in...

Mike Flanagan is one of the most exciting names in horror right now, but his journey to getting there was a bit stop-and-go. He got his first taste of box office success with 2013's "Oculus," the filmmaker's well-received adaptation of his own short movie, "Oculus: Chapter 3 – The Man with the Plan." After that, Flanagan helmed three horror movies in rapid succession. Of the trio, one of them went directly to Netflix (the underrated home invasion thriller "Hush"), while another one of them spent several years floundering in limbo after its U.S. distributor, Relativity Media, declared bankruptcy ("Before I Wake").

The last of these three movies was 2016's "Ouija: Origin of Evil." For those who haven't seen it, "Origin of Evil" is a much better film than its risible subtitle would suggest. It's also vastly superior to 2014's "Ouija," a flash-in-the-pan Universal/Blumhouse hit that grossed more than 20 times its...

"The Haunting of Hill House" is one of the best horror shows ever made, and one of the best TV shows of the past decade, regardless of genre. Mike Flanagan's first TV series is more than an adaptation — it is an homage and a love letter to Shirley Jackson's novel that it is loosely based on. It follows the Crain siblings across two timelines: how they as kids survived living in a haunted house of horrors, and how they as adults reckon with past traumas and tragic deaths.

The show is a beautiful exploration of grief, a ghost story that is both a tear-jerker but also very spooky. Flanagan weaves together emotions like he's a tailor, with a deeply unsettling sense of horror that is not about jump scares or intense gore. Instead, it's more of a slow meditation on grief covered in layers upon layers of dread and uneasiness.

Set on Halloween 1963, Norman Partridge’s novel Dark Harvest is headed to the screen, with David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night, “Hannibal”) directing a feature film that was at one point in time scheduled for release on September 9, 2022. That’s likely no longer the case, however, as we’re now less than a month from that day with no marketing in sight.

But we expect the marketing campaign for Dark Harvest will begin soon, as the MPA has just officially handed the upcoming feature film adaptation an “R” rating this week for…

Exclusive: Kevin Iannucci (The Best Of Enemies) and Bethany Brown (Charmed) are set as series regulars opposite Ben Rappaport and Alexandra Chando in NBC’s untitled drama pilot based on the award-winning Dutch series Adam & Eva. The pilot is written by The Village creator Mike Daniels and will be directed by Stephanie Laing.

The project, described as a funny and heartfelt drama, chronicles the epic love and lives of two complete strangers, Adam (Rappaport) and Eva (Chando), whose multiple run-ins begin to defy coincidence, leading both to believe in fate. The show breaks the mold by pairing a serialized, stand-up-and-cheer romantic comedy with the wildly diverse and often unexpected human stories of anyone who finds themselves six degrees from Adam and Eva.

Iannucci will play Derek, Adam’s new co-worker, a damn-the-torpedoes truth-teller on a quest to find love.

Brown will portray Neela, Eva’s former art school buddy, current roommate and ride-or-die best friend.

Surprisingly insightful film explores relationship between martial arts champion and his two sons, one of whom has a genetic disorder

Part classic montage-showdown sports movie, part southern gothic Oedipal family drama, this decidedly peculiar but oddly compelling film is the proverbial curate’s egg. The plot revolves around the fraught relationship between a mixed martial arts cage fighting champion named Cash Boykins and his semi-estranged 18-year-old son Jett. In possession of a much finer soul than his old man, high-school senior Jett lives in a modest suburban house with his waitress mother Susan (Elizabeth Reaser) who divorced Cash a while back, and younger brother Quinn, a sweet, cheeky kid who happens to have Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects physical and mental development.

You’re either a sucker for films like director Nick Sarkisov and screenwriter David McKenna’s Embattled or you’re not. I’m the former—a fact that’s proven especially true when the filmmakers are willing to use the fighting drama genre as a means to provide something more than just an adversarial winner-takes-all approach. So I was hooked pretty much from the first scene as Cash Boykin (Stephen Dorff) runs his mouth on the way to the Octagon, pumping himself up with the crowd as his son Jett (Darren Mann) gives a few verbal jabs to keep him loose and also stoke the killer edge that’s vaulted him to two championship belts in Mma. It wasn’t that camaraderie, but what came next that earned my investment.

Namely, it was the look in Jett’s eyes as the elation and pride conjured by his father’s objective...

“Over the top” is a relative concept in the bludgeoning, unabashedly theatrical sport of mixed martial arts, which makes cartoon hero-villains of stars like Conor McGregor, even as their fighting gets grimily down-and-dirty. So it perhaps goes against the spirit of things to describe “Embattled,” a sports drama animated by a clear McGregor proxy, as a bit overblown. Yet at several points in Georgian director Nick Sarkisov’s roaring, blood-and-guts film, it’s hard not to wish it would take things down a notch: A hokey, old-fashioned father-son meller clothed in a younger man’s bling-encrusted robes, it increasingly sacrifices emotional credibility for the violent, amped-up bravado of Mma itself. By the time it pivots into outright revenge fantasy territory, the script’s earlier attempts at intimate character work are largely undone, though committed performances by Stephen Dorff and Darren Mann remain.

“Embattled” is primarily fashioned as a showcase for Dorff,...

"You've been offered another fight?" "Unfortunately... it's against me." IFC Films has unveiled the official trailer for an indie Mma drama titled Embattled, from director Nick Sarkisov (Krasny) and screenwriter David McKenna. A high school judo prodigy steps into the Mma cage to face the ultimate rival in a battle for recognition and retribution – his father. A son aspires to follow in his famous Mma father's footsteps, but along his challenging journey must figure out how to break the abusive cycle, if possible, that his father has continued. Stephen Dorff stars as the father, and Darren Mann as the son, with a cast including Elizabeth Reaser, Donald Faison, Saïd Taghmaoui, Karrueche Tran, and Colin McKenna. This looks brutal in a seriously impressive way, a cinematic story about abusive fathers and stopping abusiveness by literally fighting your father. Intense. Fire it up below. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Nick Sarkisov's Embattled,...

Executive produced by Sam Raimi (who also directed "The Golden Arm" episode), the horror anthology series 50 States of Fright originally premiered on Quibi back in April, and now new episodes have been added to the mobile streaming service, introducing viewers to urban legends from Iowa, Washington, Colorado, and Missouri.

After winning the Best Drama Guest Actor Emmy for three orphaned Season 2 episodes last year, Bradley Whitford made the switch to the supporting category for the third installment of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” with fruitful results. The actor bagged his first three career nominations in this very category for “The West Wing” (2001-03) – triumphing on his first try – which he succeeded with a pair of Best Comedy Guest Actor bids for “Transparent” (2015-16), again winning on the first bid. On his seventh citation, the three-time champ seeks to be blessed with his fourth victory by virtue of his work in his episode submission “Sacrifice,” the season’s 12th and penultimate outing.

Whitford plays Commander Joseph Lawrence, the indisputably powerful, intimidating founder of the Colonies and architect of Gilead’s economy. He’s a morally-conflicted man, who is irreverent to the state’s religious customs and unfamiliar with some of...

There’s no rest for the wicked, and that includes those fans of “The Haunting of Hill House” who are scouring the internet for all the details they can find about Season 2 of the Netflix horror series, this time titled “The Haunting of Bly Manor.”

Created by Mike Flanagan, the show’s 10-episode first season launched in October 2018 and centered around the Crain family: father Hugh, mother Olivia (Carla Gugino), and their children, Steve (Michiel Huisman), Shirley (Elizabeth Reaser), Theo (Kate Siegel), Luke (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and Nellie (Victoria Pedretti).

The story follows the events that transpired during the one summer the Crains lived in the titular haunted home, and their lives decades after leaving Hill House due to a tragic incident.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” went to Washington, D.C. for its third season, revealing the capital of the fictional Gilead, which looks very, very different from our nation’s seat of government in present day.

That massive on-screen transformation is thanks to the hard work of the costume, VFX, production, casting, makeup and hair departments, who came together during the 2019 government shutdown to build up a dystopian version of America’s capital that might be the most terrifying setting the Elisabeth Moss-led Hulu drama has shown us so far. And they had just three weeks to plan for it all and one day to shoot it.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” team broke down the on-location episode during a “Crafts Masterclass” conversation with TheWrap, which included costume designer Natalie Bronfman, production designer Elisabeth Williams, head makeup artist Burton LeBlanc, head hairstylist Paul Elliot, VFX producer Stephen Lebed and casting director Sharon Bialy,...

In quintessential Logan Roy fashion, the HBO series “Succession” absolutely dominated Emmy nominations in terms of acting recognition. After an across-the-board snub by the acting branch last year, the Roy family came roaring back with an impressive nine acting bids, over-performing our own high expectations. In addition to the blindside of Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) sneaking into the competitive Supporting Actor category, “Succession” also picked up an unexpected nomination for Harriet Walter, who only 222 of our users correctly predicted––this author included.

Though Walter’s nomination indicates just how much the acting branch loved and paid close attention to the second season of the series, her surprise appearance in the category could potentially stymie a “Succession” victory in the Guest Actress category, where two-time Emmy-winner Cherry Jones also competes for her “Succession” turn as media mogul Nan Pierce. Might the surprise, second nomination in this category actually cost “Succession” some Emmy gold?...
