Experimental slasher In a Violent Nature, writer/director Chris Nash’s feature debut, sliced up an impressive opening weekend at the box office and received critical acclaim for its unique take on the slasher subgenre. But there’s one standout moment that has horror fans buzzing: a centerpiece kill so unexpected and gnarly that it ensures undead killer Johnny (Ry Barrett) is a slasher villain to remember. In a Violent Nature frames the slasher events from the perspective of Johnny, summoned from the dead when a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs his rotting corpse.

Like any other morning, trans content creator Lana Madison woke up and grabbed her phone. She checked her OnlyFans income, where she ranked in the top 0.06 percent of earners, and then her Instagram direct messages. Since Meta, parent company to Facebook and Instagram, frequently deletes performers’ pages, Lana maintained two accounts where she posted photos of herself dressed in short skirts. A man messaged her main page — it was always a man — saying he could help her get her account back if she lost it. She ignored it. Why was he offering a solution to a problem…

Joko Anwar, a driving force behind Indonesia’s modern film industry, is the creator of Netflix’s new anthology series Nightmares and Daydreams. The Satan’s Slaves filmmaker slips in and out of these seven episodes, with his fingers directly on the pulse of a select few. However, even when not personally directing or writing, Anwar’s unique touch can be felt in every inch of the journey. What initially looks to be a chain of unconnected stories turns out to be an odyssey with a specific and often unsettling destination. Unlike other anthologies, there is no particular character who guides the audience in…

Michael B. Jordan is no stranger to working out, whether it’s for movies roles or just getting back into shape after a hiatus. Regarding the former, from showing his jacked arms for Creed 3 to packing on muscle for his time in Black Panther, the man will do what it takes to be in the right kind of physical condition for the character he’s playing. That’s not to say it’s always enjoyable though, as Jordan opened up about what it’s like to grind it out at the gym even if it’s just for the sake of posing for a movie…

Jon Stewart took the opportunity on Monday’s episode of The Daily Show to lay out “a quick state of play” on the upcoming presidential election in November, while also debunking the GOP narrative of crime in major cities. “I guess the election has basically boiled down to each candidate accusing the other of having soup where there should be brain,” Stewart declared in his opening monologue (back in February, the host roasted both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for their age-related blunders). Stewart rolled a clip of the president during a skydiving demonstration “seemingly staring at what could only…

There were over 2.1 million pay phones in the U.S. at their peak in 1999, but now the technology is mostly relegated to nostalgia. Few wall-mounted pay phones linger in strip malls, and the silver and blue phone booths are mostly gone from the busy streets they once dotted in many parts of the U.S. Pay phones have become so rare that the FCC stopped requiring audits of them in 2018.RELATED: 50 Beloved Retail Chains That No Longer ExistSpokeo used data from the Federal Communications Commission to explore the fall of pay phones across the United States.

Baggett was also behind a scheme that accused public school librarians of engaging in felony behavior. Baggett and Moms for Liberty member Tom Gurski took a copy of Storm and Fury to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, alleging that the librarian was distributing pornography. When asked how they got their hands on the book, it came out that Baggett had one of her students borrow the book. Judd Legum’s reporting at Popular Information offers how dark and manipulative this story was. Now, Baggett has turned her attention to the Escambia County Public Library. Baggett claims several local parents approached…

It took nearly five decades for it to happen, but the tide has turned for Jaws 2. Not everyone has budged on this divisive sequel, but general opinion is certainly kinder, if not more merciful. Excusing a rehashed plot — critic Gene Siskel said the film had “the same story as the original, the same island, the same stupid mayor, the same police chief, the same script…” — Jaws 2 is rather fun when met on its own simple terms. However, less simple is the novelization; the film and its companion read are like oil and water. While both versions…
