Halfway through the 2020s, the verdict is still out about whether or not this has been a good decade for movies. Every one of the past five years, beginning with the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, has been marked with concerning debates about the state of Hollywood, the viability of continued large-scale filmmaking and the entertainment industry’s future. That said, there is one silver lining that cinephiles can find from the past five years of movies: the slasher genre is back.

The 2020s has turned out to be a surprisingly great decade for the horror subgenre. Here are the five best slasher films that it has given us so far.

“Freaky” (Universal Pictures) “Freaky” (2020)

It may have been rolled out in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, but “Freaky” still ranks as one of the first great slasher movies released in a decade that has turned out to be a strong period for the genre.

All of the Main 8 ghosts have now had their powers revealed in Ghosts season 4. Pete has ranked them all, but he’s off when it comes to how great some powers are.

Pete had decided that there are different tiers of powers based on how effective and important they are. He uses the way they can connect to the world of the living, and the way he can get off the property. However, he’s overlooking a few great elements of a couple of powers, and Pete’s ability to roam isn’t all that great when you consider other aspects of the spirits’ abilities.

I have my ranking of how great the abilities are. Do you agree with mine? These are in order from best to worst.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Ghosts Season 4, Episode 19 “Pinkus Returns.”] Ghosts delivered another big Season 4 twist with the arrival of pantless ghost Trevor’s (Asher Grodman) daughter, Abby, in the episode “Pinkus Returns.” As viewers will recall, Pinkus (Richie Keen) is the colleague from Trevor’s past whom he gave his pants away to the fateful night he died, and in remembrance of Trevor’s good deed, Pinkus visited Woodstone with his daughter Abby. While Pinkus recounted the pants tale to living proprietors Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), he revealed Trevor’s pants had a phone number in the pocket.

Florence Pugh makes a jaw-dropping runway appearance, opening

Harris Reed’s Fall/Winter 2025 show at London Fashion Week held at Tate Britain on Thursday (February 20).

The 29-year-old actress kicked off the show with a theatrical monologue about embracing one’s true self, setting the stage for Harris’s latest avant-garde collection.

“Clothing has transformative power, Florence performed, “Whether for an actor or simply a performer on the stage of life, the art of dressing up allows us to express who we truly are, creating a safe space to inhabit in a sometimes judgmental world.”

Florence embodied a mystical, folklore-inspired figure, complementing Harris’s signature dramatic aesthetic. The also show featured live cellists performing a haunting Metallica rendition.

2024 is over, and we have seen some brilliant and not-so-brilliant TV shows on streaming services and cable networks. However, the sci-fi fantasy genre TV shows are proving to be the biggest ones this year with the release of shows like Fallout and 3 Body Problem. The sci-fi fans are having a great year, and if TV shows weren’t enough, we also got Dune: Part Two this year, which was the most successful sci-fi fantasy film in 2024. So, let’s check out the best new and returning sci-fi fantasy shows that came out last year.

Netflix’s Terminator Zero anime is arguably the best Terminator project since the James Cameron movies, and there are plenty of things Terminator 7 can learn from it. While James Cameron has confirmed that he is working on a secret Terminator project, the status of Terminator 7 is unclear. However, assuming that a new Terminator film does happen eventually, it will have big shoes to fill after how well-received Terminator Zero was. With an 86% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, Terminator Zero is the franchise’s highest-rated movie or show since Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Terminator Zero takes place mostly two years after the events of Terminator 2, although it also includes scenes set in the near future. The anime series can be considered one of the many Terminator timelines and is not too worried about how it intersects with the movies. Instead, Terminator Zero tells a somewhat self-contained story that perfectly fits into that world.

Since 2020, Netflix's drama series Outer Banks has captivated audiences with its beautiful beachy setting and strange mysteries, but those seeking a strong follow-up should look no further, as the following ten shows are the best alternatives. For four seasons now, Outer Banks has centered on the socially divided teenagers of Outer Banks, North Carolina, and in particular, John B., who is searching for his missing father. Thus far, the series has garnered fairly positive reviews, with audiences quickly becoming invested in the show's mystery and melodrama. Yet, once Outer Banks ends, viewers may not know what to watch next.

Outer Banks is a somewhat unique show. Though it definitely can be labeled as a teen drama, the show is not completely defined by its interpersonal problems. At the heart of Outer Banks is a mystery which pushes the plot forward and keeps audiences invested. On top of that, Outer Banks...

To celebrate its release, we’re giving one lucky winner a copy of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three on Love Horror!

Based on DC’s iconic comic book limited series ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, join DC Super Heroes from across the multiverse in the action-packed conclusion of the three-part DC animated film Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three. The eagerly awaited film brings to a close the thrilling trilogy that marks the end to the Tomorrowverse story arc.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three features returning popular voice cast members: Jensen Ackles as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Emmy winner Darren Criss as Superman & Earth-2 Superman, Aldis Hodge as Green Lantern/John Stewart,...

Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths – Part Three, picks up from the closing moments of Part Two with a distraught Supergirl killing The Monitor, an act that somehow sends everyone into The Bleed, “an unstable dimension that exists outside The Multiverse, truly neither here nor there.”

That means it’s hidden from the Anti-Monitor, and it’s also extremely unstable. How unstable you ask? Ten minutes into the film and what’s left of Earth – 1’s downtown Metropolis is being overrun with dinosaurs. It seems the various Earth’s pasts, presents and futures are in a constant state of collision. Nazis, armed with weapons confiscated from supervillains including Scarecrow’s fear toxin,...

The best Pacific Rim sequel, Pacific Rim: The Black, is a character-driven anime-inspired series set in a post-apocalyptic Australia. Based on context clues, the show takes place after Pacific Rim: Uprising and expands the franchise's lore with new characters and a fresh setting. Although there has been talk of expanding the Pacific Rim cinematic universe, Pacific Rim 3 is not currently in development.

Although it didn't get the attention it deserved, the best Pacific Rim sequel came out in 2021 and it's much better than Pacific Rim: Uprising, the 2018 sequel to Guillermo del Toro's hit Kaiju-monster film. Penned by del Toro and Travis Beacham, the original Pacific Rim movie, which hit theaters in 2013, garnered a whopping $411 million at the global box office and received solid reviews from critics and audiences alike, despite its style-over-substance approach. In Pacific Rim, humans are at war with Kaiju enormous monsters that have crawled out of an inter-dimensional portal.

The controversial movie Miller's Girl made it to the Netflix Top 10 despite a 29% Rotten Tomatoes rating. The movie bombed at the box office, but surged in popularity on Netflix. Ortega's bold career choices, like in Miller's Girl, may secure a strong legacy, despite its poor performance.

Jenna Ortega's controversial erotic thriller Miller's Girl has hit the US Netflix Top 10 charts despite its poor 29% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Ortega has risen to prominence in the last few years, with guest roles in TV shows like You, before achieving global stardom for her leading roles in the movies Scream & Scream 6, and the supernatural black-comedy Wednesday, which has been renewed for season 2 by Netflix. Starring Ortega and Emmy-winning actor Martin Freeman, Miller's Girl focuses on the complicated and inappropriate relationship between a teacher and student, following a creative writing assignment.

The movie has been mired in controversy and bombed at the box office,...

When critics label a movie "controversial," audiences need to ask themselves if that was the director's intended purpose of the film or if the people who actually watched the story unfold felt uncomfortable and decided to label it as such. With Miller's Girl, there is absolutely no debate; it is meant to make you cringe. Miller's Girl was initially released in theaters in January 2024, but that was short-lived as no one cared to see an erotic thriller about a student-teacher affair, even if Jenna Ortega and Mark Freeman's characters were getting hot and heavy on camera. Now, with the movie moving over to Netflix, people are clicking on it and finding the plot quite repulsive.

The first full-length trailer for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three has just hit (via Toonado.com), and it teases what looks to be a high-stakes finale to this animated trilogy (and the Tomorrowverse as we know it).

With the Anti-Monitor on the loose, a whole host of heroes assemble to save the Multiverse, but it looks like that will be easier said than done when they also have Lex Luthor to contend with. Several other villains are also spotted, including The Joker, Scarecrow, and Two-Face.

In terms of cameos, the trailer ends with another Batman: The Animated Series tease. Batman Beyond also appears, but perhaps the biggest surprise comes when we return to the world of the Super Friends!

Help arrives in the form of heroes from our Earth, though he’s anything but grateful for it.

Martin Freeman defends controversial film scenes, believing critics are missing the point of the nuanced tale. The intimacy coordinator ensured comfort during racy scenes between Freeman and Jenna Ortega on the set of Miller's Girl. Despite mixed reviews, Miller's Girl finds new life on the Netflix chart.

Martin Freeman has addressed online unease over his intimate scenes with Jenna Ortega in the erotic thriller Millers Girl, as the movie leaps up the Netflix chart. The film caused a lot of noise when it was released in theaters in January, mainly over the storys focus on the relationship between Freemans teacher and his much younger student. Now the film is finding a second wind on Netflix, the grumbles have started again, but Freeman believes those complaining are not getting the point.

In real-life, Freeman is over three decades older than 21-year-old Wednesday star Ortega. This has been enough to cause a...

Jenna Ortega stars in the thrilling movie Miller's Girl, which showcases her rising stardom in Hollywood. Miller's Girl released in theaters on January 26, 2024, giving audiences the opportunity to watch the film on the big screen. The streaming release of Miller's Girl is confirmed following its theatrical debut.

Jenna Ortega stars in a new thriller, and there are different options for where to watch Miller's Girl. Ortega has become one of Hollywood's biggest rising stars in recent years thanks to her continued presence in successful projects on the big and small screen. The Scream and Wednesday star has appeared in various smaller releases during the same stretch, and 2024 is poised to be another big year for her. Before appearing in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Jenna Ortega is front and center in Lionsgate's controversial movie Miller's Girl.

The 2024 thriller comes from writer/director Jade Halley Bartlett, who is making her directorial and writing debut with Miller's Girl.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two has limited character development, which impacts the emotional investment. Low stakes and lack of urgency make the film's plot feel tedious. Lack of focus and interconnection between characters weakens the overall story.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two begins directly after Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One, an unexpectedly moving entry, ends, continuing the story of the Monitor (Jonathan Adams) and the multiverse of superheroes who are doing everything in their power to stop the destruction of their earths. The film is two of three that will close out the DC Universe Animated Movies’ Tomorrowverse, but while Part One had plenty of action and a lot of heart, Part Two falters and loses steam. The stakes aren’t as high and the characters are more scattered without focus.

Jenna Ortega & Martin Freeman’s intimate scene in Miller’s Girl

A video is breaking the internet where Jenna Ortega, as Cairo Sweet, is dressed in a hot satin dress. She ditches the cigarette in her hand before Jonathan Miller (Martin Freeman) brings her erotic writings to life.

Plot: A creative writing assignment yields complex results between a teacher and his talented student.

Review: I wasn’t sure what to make of Miller’s Girl when I first heard of it. The idea of a teacher falling for a student isn’t exactly new, but there was a mystery present that I appreciated. And it’s honestly, given that subject matter, a very tough film to talk about. The topic is taboo and won’t be for everyone, and the filmmakers really take advantage of that uncomfortably. On a technical side, the film is gorgeously shot and takes advantage of its beautiful sets. Plus, I have a soft spot for erotic thrillers. But this one has very few teeth and is as obvious as they come.

There’s clearly something not quite right about Jenna Ortega‘s Cairo right from the start. She exhibits an intellectual way of dissecting...

Jenna Ortega's new movie Miller's Girl is projected to make only $321,000 during its opening weekend The movie earned Ortega's lowest-ever domestic opening weekend and her second-lowest opening per-screen average. Despite this lull, Jenna Ortega's future box office prospects seem strong.

Miller's Girl has turned out a dismal box office low for star Jenna Ortega. The new movie stars Ortega as Cairo Sweet, a student who strikes up a complicated relationship with her writing teacher Jonathan Miller (Martin Freeman). Earlier in the week, the movie debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 33% aggregated from 39 different reviews, earning Ortega the second-lowest critic score of her movie career so far, just ahead of 2022's Finestkind, which has a 28% score.

Per Deadline, the Miller's Girl release, which is taking place in 350 domestic theaters, is projected to make a 3-day opening weekend total of $321,000. This is the lowest opening weekend for any...

Miller's Girl is a thriller film about a teacher and his talented student who become entangled in a complex relationship after a writing assignment. The film explores themes of self-discovery and preservation as dark truths about the characters are revealed and their sense of self begins to slip away. Writer and director Jade Halley Bartlett describes the movie as a "horror romance" or "Southern Gothic" that delves into morally and ethically gray characters, challenging traditional notions of villains and victims.

Miller's Girl follows Cairo Sweet, a talented young writer who is given an assignment by her teacher, Jonathan Miller. As she dives deeper into her creative journey, she and Jonathan are pulled into a complicated web of entanglement. As lines blur, teacher and student will be forced to confront dark truths about themselves as they seek to preserve their sense of self and purpose while what they hold dear begins to slip away.

What if you combined movies like Fair Play, Gone Girl, Fatal Attraction, A Teacher, May December and even Fifty Shades of Grey? An artificial intelligence output involving these films might be a sort of erotic thriller about an inappropriate teacher-student rapport on the outskirts of civilization, something like Miller's Girl. It's a sexually charged story that weaves in juicy side plots dealing with the struggles of a writer and maintaining a day job amid tricky circumstances.

It helps that the red-hot Jenna Ortega and seasoned veteran Martin Freeman are around to inject some life in an otherwise underwhelming film. Writer-director Jade Halley Bartlett has an impressive grasp on the technical aspect of her craft, and promises good things for her future. But even the committed turns from Ortega and Freeman can't save Miller's Girl from ultimately flopping due to emotional flatness and a weak ending.

“I’m 18 and highly unremarkable.”

So starts “Miller’s Girl,” a drama-slash-psychological thriller that serves more so as an indictment of modern multilayered sexual politics than an (as marketed) after school special. As our lead character Cairo Sweet (Jenna Ortega) says, “longing” to experience something is the most dangerous force there is, and for Cairo, that longing culminates in a misguided crush and a politicized heartbreak with a professor (Martin Freeman).

High school student Cairo enrolls in a creative writing class taught by frustrated novelist Jonathan Miller (Freeman), who immediately takes a liking to her after spotting that she has a copies of both his debut novel and Henry Miller’s salacious works. Written and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, “Miller’s Girl” plays on the titular Mr. Miller and the real-life author Miller himself, with Cairo’s compulsion to impress and find solace in her teacher further radicalized by taking on...

“Miller’s Girl,” about a relationship that develops between a wise-beyond-her-years teenager and her intellectually undernourished teacher, feels like catnip for the circular discourse of Film Twitter, but it’s hard to tell where a study of post-#MeToo power dynamics will land with moviegoers in the real world.

Written, produced and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, the film is both impressively erudite and unrelentingly self-aware, a combination it bravely attempts but doesn’t quite fully balance. But Jenna Ortega’s movie-star confidence in the title role more than eclipses Martin Freeman’s shoe-leather character acting, a perhaps inevitable outcome given the age and gender politics exercised in its story — but not necessarily one that gets at something truly interesting.

Ortega (“Wednesday”) plays Cairo Sweet, a high school student living in a small Tennessee town while her absent lawyer parents travel the globe on unnamed business. Summed up with cheeky precision...

The fact that Jenna Ortega won’t be in Scream 7 was a shocking announcement last month (apparently her absence from the sequel is due to a pay dispute), but there are still going to be plenty of chances to see her on our screens regularly. She’s set to start filming Wednesday season 2 in a few months, she’s in the crime thriller Finestkind (which just started streaming on Paramount+ last Friday), and on January 26th she’ll be back on the big screen when Lionsgate gives the psychological thriller Miller’s Girl a theatrical release. With that release date just one month away, a trailer for Miller’s Girl has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
