I likeVin Diesel’s Riddick, but I’ll even admit that the last movie in the series,Riddick, left a sour taste in my mouth after the character’s testosterone-fueled exploits were deemed so awe-inspiring that he could somehow turn a gay woman straight. While the film was a blip at the box office, Diesel still gets a lot of leeway as long as he remains the face of the lucrativeFast & Furiousfranchise, and it looks like a fourthRiddickfilm is a serious possibility....

The Devil Isn’t the Scariest Part of ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ — This Is

The 1968 psychological horror filmRosemary’s Babyis a masterwork ofslow-burn horror, seamlessly infusing terror with social commentary that, over 50 years later, has inspired a number of contemporary filmmakers fromJordan PeeletoAri Aster.
