This post contains spoilers for "The Last of Us" episode 8, "When We Are in Need."
I can only assume that when Craig Mazin sat down to write the penultimate episode of "The Last Of Us" season 1, his primary goal was to traumatize the audience. If so, then that mission was 100% accomplished. "When We Are in Need" adapts the most harrowing portion of the Naughty Dog game, bringing us face to face with Public Enemy #1, David (Scott Shepherd), a literal cannibal who takes an unsettling interest in Ellie (Bella Ramsey). But before he crosses paths with the main duo, traumatizes Ellie beyond belief, and earns my undying hatred, David reads some bible verses!
Keeping up its habit of making clever changes to deepen the story and flesh out its peripheral characters, "The Last Of Us" offers a glimpse into David's role as the leader of the Silver Lake community — a large...

Adjusting to a new life in suburban Aspen Ridge, a recently divorced mother receives mysterious letters instructing her and her teenage children to slaughter the people pictured in their correspondence before they can kill them. Paranoia and chaos ensues as the family attempts to rationally deal with an irrational situation. Making matters worse, the local law enforcement, already ineffective and patronizing, are unresponsive to calls for police aid after they are quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of community participants in the murderous mayhem.
I’m not going to lie, it’s obvious that Red Letter Day takes its influence from the Purge franchise And the current political climate not only in the Us but across the globe. To say otherwise is just folly… Though the idea of...

"What brings you to Mongolia?" Vertical Entertainment has debuted a new trailer for an indie adventure comedy titled Burn Your Maps, from writer/director Jordan Roberts. This first premiered at film festivals back in late 2016, and has taken three years to finally get an actual Us release. No idea why, but this trailer might give you a hint that it's just not all that.

So they travel to Mongolia and things get even crazier, of course. Jacob Tremblay stars with Vera Farmiga, and a cast including Virginia Madsen, Marton Csokas, Jason Scott Lee, Suraj Sharma, Arielle Rombough, Ramon Rodriguez, and Glynis Davies. This looks cute but also awkward and just strange, not...
