The folks at The Asylum are the masters of the mockbuster – those being lower budget movies that are made and released around the same time as bigger budget studio movies with similar titles and concepts. Some of their previous films include Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, Almighty Thor, Battle Star Wars, Top Gunner, Jurassic Domination, and The Little Mermaid. It’s pretty easy to figure out what each one of those was trying to cash in on. Now, with a new Exorcist sequel (The Exorcist: Believer) set to reach theatres on October 6th, The Asylum has announced that they will be releasing a movie called The Exorcists on September 29th – and a trailer for the film can be seen in the embed above!

David Fincher's 1995 serial killer tragedy "Seven" is one of the more bleak and nihilistic films to emerge from the post-"The Silence of the Lambs" crime boom.

It must be tough buying for us nerds, we can be a fussy bunch. I fortunately do not have any other nerds to buy for, I don’t envy the task at all. Does the comic book fan in your life read trade paperbacks, hardcovers or only omnibuses? I wouldn’t even being to contemplate getting into back issues unless I was well tuned in to a certain individuals wants and needs. Also what I wanted to do with this list was look at some alternatives to the usual books that are getting shouted out. There are debates all the time from comic book commentators saying the success of the movies is bringing more people to comics. I remain unconvinced by the the evidence...

Gigi Prtizker’s Madison Wells banner has a new look, intended to reflect the company’s commitment to “spotlighting stories for, by and about badass women, as well as people who love pushing boundaries.”

When we last saw Shazam’s arch-nemesis Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong) during a mid-credits sequence at the end of 2019’s Shazam!, the mad scientist and Seven Deadly Sins host had been defeated by the title hero and was firmly ensconced at Rock Falls Penitentiary.
It was in his cell that he was approached by the super-intelligent alien centipede — and fellow Shazam super-villain — Mister Mind, who offered to form an alliance with Sivana and promised that the Seven Realms would be theirs for the taking.
While the sequel, now titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods, has been steadily ramping up since late last year as production began to resume post-pandemic, Strong has not been mentioned among the various returning and new cast members suiting up for the film. Today he makes it official when asked by Den of Geek: Sivana is sitting the sequel out.

Director Jared Cohn has been carving something of a name for himself in the direct to DVD market for a good few years now, usually delivering fun low-budget genre films that at least have one great idea on which to hang the film. And Devil’s Revenge is no different.
The hook here? The absolutely Amazing creature designs by Vincent J. Guastini which, along with the brilliant flashbacks to a grim and grisly past, keep you watching way past the over indulgent, overwrought, dialogue-heavy first half. The brief glimpses of something greater giving the audience hope that the rest of the film will – eventually – follow suit. It doesn’t but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to enjoy about this Indiana Jones-esque horror tale.
