Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
There’s something simultaneously exciting and horrifying about discovering the worst entry of the Amityville “franchise” more than 35 films in. And yet, Amityville Hex truly is *that* bad.
The first of writer /director Tony Newton’s two entries, 2021’s Amityville Hex is a disaster in nearly every way. From amateur acting to a repetitive script to an egregiously long (and unearned) runtime, the film embodies all of the negative qualities that have earned “Amityville” films derision and mockery.
Modeled on the screenlife model popularized by Host and, to a lesser extent Unfriended and Searching, Newton’s film focuses on vloggers who participate in “the Amityville Hex”, which involves reading a chant on camera, then documenting the aftermath.
It’s a fairly simple premise,...

Set in the very near future where scientists have discovered a method of matching people with their perfect romantic fit using DNA, eight-part Netflix Original The One is technically a sci-fi drama. Really though, it’s a crime thriller revolving around the murky circumstances in which the cash cow company behind the matching service was created. Written by Misfits and Crazyhead creator Howard Overman, The One is based on the 2017 novel of the same name by John Marrs. It’s a cat-and-mouse game between wealthy, driven CEO Rebecca (Hannah Ware) and police detective Kate (Zoë Tapper).
While you’re solving the show’s mysteries, we’ve taken the liberty of solving that nagging background question of where you might have seen its cast on screen before…

[This story contains spoilers through episode eight of Disney+’s WandaVision.]
When there’s no more room in Westview, the dead shall walk the Earth. Ok, so while WandaVision isn’t going into full George A. Romero territory, the penultimate episode did raise Vision (Paul Bettany) from dead, in more ways than one, and raised a number of questions about what will happen when Wanda’s (Elizabeth Olsen) “Hex” reality inevitably collapses.
In “Previously On…” Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) takes Wanda on a trip down memory lane, under the pretense of her past being the key to her future. Viewers also got a glimpse into ...

This article contains WandaVision spoilers
After seven painfully short episodes of Marvel’s WandaVision, we’re still none the wiser about how exactly the Westview anomaly was created, and how Vision was brought back to life.
We’ve just been introduced to one potential villain in the form of nosy neighbor Agnes – unveiled as powerful Marvel Comics witch Agatha Harkness – and we’ve seen that Wanda is still far from a malevolent force. She has threatened people who’ve encroached on The Hex, but she hasn’t killed any of them, and we don’t know how aware she is about the true ramifications of her control over the town’s residents.
Meanwhile, we have some lingering Westview mysteries to uncover, and the true identity of “Pietro Maximoff” to contend with.
Here are some of the biggest theories swirling around what the final two episodes of WandaVision might reveal….
The 10th Episode

(Warning: Spoilers for “WandaVision” Episodes 6 and 7 ahead)
“WandaVision” is officially entering the 2000s. More specifically, 2009, if the latest clip from the series is any indication.
Marvel released the sneak peek at Episode 7 on Thursday, showing Wanda talking directly to camera about how she’s handling the fallout of unexpectedly widening the Hex in last week’s episode. The 1:22 clip seems to follow through on a tease Kevin Feige gave back in November, telling Empire that the show will “go up to the ‘Modern Family’ and ‘The Office’ style,” with characters speaking directly to camera.
“WandaVision” briefly employed the same tactic in Episode 6, with Wanda’s son Billy breaking the fourth wall to explain how his mother and father had been “not fighting, but different” since “Pietro” came to town.
Now, it seems Wanda will be working through her magic hangover in a similar way, giving off some definite Claire Dunphy vibes.

WandaVision's fifth episode packed a powerful punch, and not just because it featured a huge surprise cameo. Episode four ended with Monica Rambeau telling her fellow S.W.O.R.D. agents that, "It's all Wanda," and in the following installment, she reiterates that she believes Wanda created the bubble around Westview to live out her life with her family. As Jimmy, Monica, and Darcy attempt to piece together all the information they've collected, they surmise that the "Hex," as Darcy Lewis happily dubs it, actively alters reality, which explains why Monica's era-appropriate outfit is made of 87 percent kevlar - it's actually the bullet proof vest she went into the Hex wearing.
Jimmy poses the question of how Wanda was able to revive Vision and now control everything within the Hex, which takes much more power than she's ever displayed before. Although Monica points out that Wanda has always had enormous power,...

During the late 60s and early 70s, a series of Italian-made genre films focusing on extravagant, deeply intertwined murder mysteries, known as Giallo, became a hugely popular and profitable export from the country. Director Kuei Chih-hung, fresh off his first of several black magic gross-outs, was apparently so impressed with the genre he transported the style to Hong Kong, added grime and some chop-socky kung-fu to make this bizarre, enjoyable effort for the Shaw Brothers studio.
After a body’s discovered in an apartment, Police Inspector Zhang looks over the report and notes the similarities in the case to a similar report in a neighboring village. Arriving in Foshan, he comes across Madam Lan the owner of a local whorehouse who is having to force Yan-erh to deal with the more troublesome girls in her employ. After a series of gruesome murders are committed around the grounds of the brothel,...

HBO is known for its big-budget shows, of which Game of Thrones is, of course, the gold standard. But the premium cable channel also branches out from time to time with smaller productions that hearken back to its earlier, more art-house days. The upcoming series Euphoria, starring Zendaya and produced by Drake, is one of those. Adapted from an Israeli teen drama, it's an edgy, close-up look at the lives of a handful of teenagers. Following the original teaser, the first full trailer has been released, and along with a thoughtful voiceover narrative, it's soundtracked by music that seems to perfectly capture the clip's mood.
The song in the trailer is "Hex," a 2016 track by Ark Patrol. It's the title track from the Hex Ep album, with quirky beats and a memorable sound. In short, it's the perfect kind of music to soundtrack a show about the ups and downs of being a modern teenager.

Get ready to feel the “Euphoria.” Drake and Future the Prince’s upcoming teen drama starring singer and actress Zendaya (lately of “The Oa” and “The Greatest Showman”) will be coming to HBO later this year. If a teaser the network released on Thursday is any indication, it’s going to be quite a trippy ride.
Set to the song “Hex” by Ark Patrol, the teaser gives a hint of some of the fun — and trouble — a group of high school students will have as they live in a world far removed from any John Hughes movie. Sam Levinson, who wrote and directed the bleak and violent “Assassination Nation,” will bring his sinister style to “Euphoria” as writer and executive producer on the project. Although it’s unclear how closely HBO’s series will hew to the Israeli show it’s based on, the original had plenty of sex, drugs,...
