Black Death trailer debuts

By Ryan Fleming December 21, 2010

Originally released in merry old England back in June, Black Death is set in the year 1348, during the worst days of the Bubonic Plague. Directed by Christopher Smith (Triangle, Severance), the film stars Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings).

In a small medieval English town ravaged by the plague, the black death has left the villagers unscathed. The church sends out a group of warriors led by the knight Ulrich (Bean), to hunt for a suspected necromancer who is said to be able to bring the dead back to life, and has possibly made a deal with the devil. As they approach the village, things get progressively worse, and rumors of sacrifice and a beautiful witch reach the group. Things then go badly for the group. Very, very badly.

The Boogeyman trailer: don’t look under the bed

A girl puts her hand on the ground with a light in front of her face in The Boogeyman.

Don't look under the bed, or the Boogeyman might find you. The first trailer for The Boogeyman, the latest adaption of a story from Stephen King, has been released by 20th Century Studios. The initial footage debuted during the 2023 NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles on January 29.

Teenager Sadie Harper (Yellowjackets's Sophie Thatcher) and her younger sister, Sawyer (Obi-Wan Kenobi's Vivien Lyra Blair), are still struggling to move on from the tragic death of their mother. This leads to an uneasy relationship with their father, Will (The Sinner's Chris Messina), a therapist struggling with his grief. When an unpredictable patient shows up at the Harper residence, he leaves behind an evil supernatural presence that stalks the grieving family and exploits their suffering. As the patient unwaveringly explains to Will, this entity is "the thing that comes for your kids when you're not paying attention."

Namor makes his debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but was he worth the wait?

Tenoch Huerta Mejía holds a spear as Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The highly anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever finally arrived this past weekend, becoming an instant critical and commercial hit right off the bat. Wakanda Forever received positive reviews, with critics praising its emotional impact and significance after Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing. Some criticism was aimed at the story and third act, but even the film's few detractors agree that Wakanda Forever has a shining star in Tenoch Huerta's antagonistic Namor.

Although many mainstream viewers might not be familiar with him, Namor has been around since the Golden Age of Comic Books. We're not talking '60s or even '50s here, but 1939, when Namor the Submariner debuted as one of Timely Comics' -- the predecessor to Marvel Comics -- leading figures alongside Captain America and the original Human Torch. With a rich yet convoluted story throughout decades of semi-continuous history, Namor has been a hero, a villain, and everything in between.
