A lot of dick jokes and gory slasher kills doesn’t mean your movie can’t also ponder existential growing pains.

COME TRUE effectively melds the horror of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET with the sinister bureaucracy of DREAMSCAPE and humbling awe of INCEPTION to create its own unsettling look into the human mind.

The series premiere of Lovecraft Country touched down on HBO two weeks ago. Most notably, it boasts Jordan Peele as an executive producer: patron saint of forcing white people to come to terms with their ingrained racism by “infiltrating” primarily white-led genres of Horror and SciFi. And based on the first episode, the show promises to pack quite the wallop.

As a 10-year-old, ZENON was an easily digestible, hopeful look at what a future world could look like. Grounded with teen familiarities like slang (“zetus lapetus!”), futuristic fashion, and rock star idols (Prota Zoa!), the movie is a cozy wave of future nostalgia.

THE PASTMAN’s core question of what would be considered humane, considered “the right thing to do,” in such a fantastical situation…really grounds it and gives it its emotional power.

AFTERLIFE embraces the mundane and quietly considers the sometimes incredibly difficult choice to carry on for another day, especially in the face of pain and grief. But don’t worry, it’s a comedy.

The movies got it all wrong when it comes to traveling through a wormhole. I wasn’t in an empty space, and there were no crazy lights flashing. No, it was me and a bunch of worms. Who knew?

We get alter-egos, ambitious storylines, and style to boot. I've compiled a grouping of videos that run the gamut from robots to aliens to scientists.

In THE TRIBE, director Roxy Shih explores the "post-apocalyptic wasteland" setting with a new type of hero: the teenage girl.

Revisiting the band M83’s “Hurry Up We’re Dreaming” Trilogy: three music videos over which unfolds a tale of the escape, chase, and subsequent freedom of a group supernaturally gifted children. It is awesome.
