A few words about H G Lewis, ‘the godfather of gore’, who died yesterday… Horror especially at its extreme end has always been an outsiders genre, offputting and disturbing to wider crowds. A cult favorite for those in the know. While I lovedThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it wasBlood Feastthat I kept going back to. I wanted to show it to all my friends. We watched it over and over until I could quote all the (brilliant) dialogue....

Yet, feels like the criteria for this genre is progressively evolving. Harlan considers himself a cowboy trapped in the soulless, arid modernity of San Fernando Valley. Daniel BarbersThe Keeping Room(2015) centers on three southern women in the aftermath of the Civil War. When Louise suffers a wound, Augusta rides to the neighbor only to discover shes drunk poison. Theyre utterly self sufficient, whether or not they embrace that autonomy. Theres a cunningness to these feminine protagonists, as well as an acute internal strength....

Marvel isn’t afraid to introduce new characters and new parameters on their Luke Cage Netflix series. Den of Geekattended roundtable interviews with the cast and creative talent behind MarvelsLuke Cageat the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. Jeph Loeb certainly expected this question, and its not something that phases him. And now, Iron Man is the most popular character in the world. That was the ad campaign. And now were all sitting around talking aboutJessica Joneslike, Oh yeah you know about Jessica Jones?...

Moonlight is a drama thats as frustrating as it is innovative in its storytelling decisions. Moonlightopens October 21, following it playing the Toronto International Film Festival and 54th New York Film Festival. Rating: 3 out of 5

Warning: contains spoilers forThe Walking Deadseason 6. Ad content continues below WIN! Lots of Walking Dead prizes here! Yeah isnt it funny… it sometimes feels like its just happened. and I thought Maggie shouts peoples names a lot in this show! [laughs] And preferably from a good vantage point, she does like a good vantage point! Im gonna call her Vantage Point Maggie I think Maggie Vantage actually that sounds like a superhero name!...

ThisFear the Walking Deadreview contains spoilers. Would we retain our morality, or brush it aside in the name of survival? These questions are the engines that drive grim post-apocalyptic stories, andFTWDis no exception. What side of the old laws would we suddenly find ourselves, if faced with life-and-death decisions? Characters like Travis cling tenaciously to their principles even at the risk of appearing weak. Like Nick, Chris is adapting to a harsh reality in which the dead walk among the living....

The last time I saw Will Forte, he had half of his head and beard shaved. We later learned that it was for a joke on his Fox comedyThe Last Man on Earth. This summer, Forte looked more like his usual self gearing up for season three of the post-apocalypse comedy. I spoke with Forte at the Fox party for the Television Critics Association. Were the rights to Falling Slowly easy to get through Fox since Searchlight released the movieOnce?...

ThisOnce Upon a Timereview contains spoilers. The flashback of their first dance made me cringe. is right, they will. Ad content continues below Good Regina is really regretting her stint as the Evil Queen. Like she should be. At least the good witch seems to be staying for good. Then there are the people in the woods. Where did they come from? Why are they holding flaming torches? Should Snow White have shot her arrows at them while she still could?...

Until then, heres where we left off, and what we can expect from MTVs small-screen adaptation. Kieran had me fooled, completely. Well, sort of. Brandon James is Still Alive! The note Maggie left for him was found stabbed to a tree trunk. So, if Brandon James is still alive, who will his targets be? Was he responsible for any of the kills this season, or was that all Kieran? There is no doubt that Brandon James will be leaving the Duvall family anytime soon....

There isnt a trans moment, she said. There were zero, and now there are ten to fifteen. Thats not a moment. Transparentexcels in its sharp characterisation and dialogue that skilfully mixes humor and pathos. Season three feels as if Soloway is addressing that misconception head-on. Its apparent that in its third seasonTransparenthas become much broader. Without masterful performances to do the writing justice,Transparentsimply wouldnt work. Yet again, it delivers quality acting in spades....

Lord Arcanon and The Boys take center stage on the latest Power Rangers Dino Super Charge. ThisPower Rangers Dino Super Chargereview contains spoilers. Oh sure, we got little pieces here and there but by and large it was mostly filler city. Some of the episodes were good, but I was waiting for these plots to finally start paying off. We just have to get through the making of a pavlova to do it....

Den of Geek: You got the hair back Will! Kristen, I have this weird feeling that you draw all the artwork in the show. Kristen Schaal:Well actually, in season one I drew the wedding picture. And I drew the one of Melissa coming out of the limo. The season finale was heartbreaking. Is it possible were going to see Jason come back? Will Forte:It is, never say never on anything....

Wondering how all the DC universe TV spin-offs, crossovers and webseries fit together? We have the answer… The series proved quite the hit for The CW, and a second season renewal inevitably followed. And with it the question: how does it all fit together? OnlyThe Flashhad a clear connection withArrow. As well as being anArrowspin-off, the two shows shared first one, then several crossover episodes. So, how best to watch these shows?...
