What is Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace? I’m glad you asked. Launched in 2004 on the UK’s Channel 4, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace is a hilarious series designed to resemble a cheesy, poorly-made 1980s TV series.

The Quarantine Stream: ‘Ocean Waves’ May Be Studio Ghibli’s Secretly Queer Film By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 30, 2020 8:00 am EST For a long time, Ocean Waves eluded me. I was an avid Ghibli fan and eagerly bought all of the studio’s films on DVD in my childhood, but Ocean Waves was the one gap in my collection.

The Terminator 2 Alternate Ending That Would’ve Killed The Franchise Tri-Star Pictures By Natalia Keogan/Nov. 23, 2021 11:54 am EST There’s no denying that “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” is the best film in the entire franchise. Essentially inverting the character dynamics of the first film while continuing to flesh out details of the impending android apocalypse, “T2” might even hold water as one of the greatest sequels ever made.

‘Don’t Breathe 2’ First Look: The Blind Man Is Back This August By Chris Evangelista/May 4, 2021 11:00 am EST Don’t Breathe was an incredibly well-crafted, well-directed horror-thriller that also made some…uh, let’s say, questionable choices in its third act. Still, the film was a big hit, and there’s been talk of a sequel ever since the original film arrived in 2016. Now, some five years later, that sequel is ready....
