The Descent 2

Dead Or Alive, All The Ladies Are Back In Descent 2

Neil Marshall's Descent 2 promises screen time for his original cast of adventurous women — even though most of them are dead. Empire Magazine reports that all of the original's spelunking women will return, in flashbacks or other scenes. And there's a new, spoiler-filled synopsis of Marshall's scary cave-exploring sequel — which will make almost no sense to anyone who saw the original. More »

Gorgeous City Of Ember Pics, Plus An Awesomely Ugly Tekken Photo

This morning, we're celebrating the return of our previously dead mascot, The Spoiler — a superhero whose only superpower is spoiling other people's plots. She revealed her true identity in yesterday's Robin #174, and we won't give it away here. But yay. To celebrate, we're posting another batch of spoilers from Ron Moore's new virtual-reality-addicted astronauts program Virtuality — including the pilot's big twist ending. Plus there are new photos from City Of Ember and the new Tekken movie. Also, minor spoilers for Get Smart and X-Files 2. And a few tidbits about Doctor Who and Stargate Atlantis, plus some Heroes rumors. We'll keep spreading spoilers in The Spoiler's glorious name. More »

Doomsday: Total Nonsense -- But Awesome!

There are Serbian dog-food commercials that would have made more sense to me than Doomsday, the quarantined-country-reverts-to-barbarism epic that opens today. It starts out as an engaging action-horror blend with a nice touch of future dystopia (and huge servings of gore), and then slowly unravels until the ending is basically pure Dada. We just saw it. Click through for the whole brain-shredding carnage [spoilers ahead]. More »

Nobody Can Foresee Doomsday We may have absolute certainty, in every fibre of our souls, that Friday's Mad-Max-in-quarantined-Scotland movie Doomsday is an instant classic in the making. Sadly, Rogue Pictures, which is releasing the film, doesn't seem to agree with us. We just got final confirmation that Doomsday will not be screened for critics. We'll see it, and review it, as soon as we can on Friday.

Doomsday's Neil Marshall Explains Apocalypses Without Monsters

The Descent was one of our favorite horror movies of recent years, so we were automatically excited about director Neil Marshall's new movie, Doomsday. And that was before we found out Doomsday was going to be Mad to the Max. In Doomsday, the government walls off Scotland to contain a deadly plague... only to send a team into the shattered country 30 years later. We talked to Marshall about strong women, genre confusion, and why Doomsday has no monsters. More »

Exploding Mohawks Are Back, Baby!

Motorcycles and trucks will be spinning and bursting into flames in the dark quarantined-nation epic Doomsday, which opens in 10 days, according to this new TV spot. And a guy from the Society for Creative Anachronism will sword-fight with a riot grrl. Not only that, but a man with a blond mohawk will show you whether he has any armpit hair while shouting about the end of the world. If all that doesn't scream "instant cult classic," I don't know what does. Click through for two more clips. More »

Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands

First director Neil Marshall had to go around telling everybody Doomsday isn't a zombie movie, and now after you watch this new clip, he'll have to explain it's not a swords-and-barbarians flick either. But judging from a slew of newly released stills from the quarantined-country movie, Doomsday doesn't have any problem mashing up tons of genres. The movie looks like a dollop of Mad Max stirred in with a dash of medical thriller. Click through for a gallery and synopsis. More »

Land Of The Lost Was Cooler Than Lost

J.J. Abrams' Lost returns to television tonight, and you'll finally be able to find out what happens when those crazy Losties leave the island. But we're more interested in another (albeit smaller) group of castaways who were busy trying to get out of their own personal hell over 30 years ago. No, we're not talking about Gilligan and company. We mean Marshall, Will, and Holly. They were just a family on a routine expedition, who met the greatest earthquake ever known. It struck their tiny raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below, to the Land of the Lost. Find out more than you wanted to know about this terrific Sid and Marty Krofft show inside, including its connections with Lost, Doctor Who, and Star Trek. More »

Chilean Zombies Stalk Death Squad Survivor

A young girl gets caught in the middle of a post-apocalyptic war in Descendants, a new movie from Chile. The only people who survive the military death squads are the ones infected with a weird disease that leaves sores all over their bodies. Descendants, also known as Solos, is sort of a zombie movie but it looks way more like a post-apocalyptic survival film. Click through for a gallery of stills, and info about another future dystopia movie that's fighting off the zombie label. More »
