A storm is brewing and bodies fall like drops of rain in the new red band trailer for The King’s Man. The film blasts into theaters December 22nd. The NSFW teaser sets the stage in the early 20th century, with Ralph Fiennes’ Orlando Oxford recruiting none other than Rasputin — yes, that Rasputin — to help him gain an audience with the Russian Tsar. “I only make decisions when my stomach is full or my balls are empty,” deadpans Rhys Ifans as the famous Russian mystic, leading the Duke of Oxford to quip, “Well, thank God dinner is being served.” From there, the trailer goes gangbusters, with Fiennes’ character explaining the Kingsman’s formation as “the first independent intelligence agency” as various assassinations, warfront battles, explosions, and a uniquely timed beheading flash across ...

In Candyman, Art, Violence and Real-Life Horrors Coalesce: Review
The Pitch: Set in modern day Chicago, Candyman, the “remake” of the iconic 1992 film of the same name, turns out not to be a remake at all. Directed by Nia DaCosta, it’s more of an addition to the series’ original story (which itself is based on a short story from Clive Barker entitled “The Forbidden”), than it is a retelling of Bernard Rose’s cult classic. 1992’s Candyman is widely regarded as a staple in the horror genre. It’s told from the scope of Helen Lyle, a graduate student who travels to Chicago’s storied Cabrini-Green projects in order to co-write a thesis focusing urban legends and folklore. When she goes further into her research, she eventually learns of the city’s most intriguing urban legend, Candyman. As her obsession with the story increases, it forces Lyle on a path of se...

Billy Milligan’s Other Personality Did It in Trailer for Netflix True Crime Doc Monsters Inside: Watch
Dissociative identity disorder — formerly known as multiple personality disorder — goes on trial in the new trailer for the Netflix true crime documentary Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan.

At least one of those purported alter egos makes an appearance in the new trailer. “It still bugs me when they call me Billy,” a smirking Milligan says. “But I don’t say much. I don’t say anyth...
