While most horror lovers have watched quite a lot of American movies and relatively new horror movies, rich in high-quality special effects, many haven’t found the chance to venture in less well-known films of earlier periods. Therefore, this list is aimed at horror lovers who want to expand their viewing experience to some older and perhaps more primitive, but nonetheless just as fascinating, horror movies from European countries. Demons from Soviet Russia, rats from Croatia, and early horror attempts from most well-known European film industries are guaranteed to give you brand new experiences to satisfy your appetite for horror movies....

When it comes to The Incredible Hulk, most people are familiar with his main base of powers. As The Hulk, he has superhuman strength and nothing really hurts him – from bullets to tank shells to a bomb. He can also jump a really long distance and has the brain size of a walnut. From the original ’70s TV series with Lou Ferrigno to the movies with Eric Bana, Ed Norton, and finally Mark Ruffalo, there have been plenty of chances to see The Hulk grow and develop as a hero on both the big and small screen....

Margot Robbie is an Australian actress that has been a powerful force on the big screen since 2013. With two upcoming movies, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (starring beside Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio) and Birds of Prey (a Harley Quinn spin-off), this list is throwing it back to her 10 best roles. Margot Robbie is a Hollywood chameleon, and she definitely isn’t afraid of costuming up with big gowns or a full face of makeup....

Switched At Birth had one of the most interesting premises out of many of the shows aired by ABC at the time. At least when it comes to real life scenarios! The entire series surrounded the lives of two teenage girls, Bay and Daphne, who find out that they were, well, switched at birth. For six years, we got to follow the lives of these two families, lives that were unexpectedly turned upside-down....

X-Men: Apocalypse is only coming out in theaters this week, but people are already getting excited for the sequel! Now that the best-known roster of mutants has made their way onto the big screen, comic book fans are hoping that the franchise can start to leave behind the world-building and backstory, and start to explore some of the storylines that we know and love. Bryan Singer, who directed X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Days of Future Past (as well as several films from the franchise before the soft reboot), is also looking forward to the Apocalypse sequel....

From handguns to lasers the size of a city, cinema has seen it’s fair share of destructive instruments. Today we’ll be counting down the most devastating weapons that movies have to offer; the more destructive the better. These are the firearms, lasers, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and everything in between that have stuck in audience’s heads thanks to their originality, innovation, and sheer power. Before we pull the trigger we should lay out some ground rules for this list....

Since they were officially introduced during season 2, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been dealing with Inhumans and how their presence on Earth affects the human population that the organization is meant to protect. Though the Inhumans were largely kept hidden from the public, that all changed at the end of season 2 when Terrigen crystals were distributed throughout the world in the form of fish oil pills. Season 3 of Agents of S....

Agents of SHIELD will end after season 7, and here are the characters who need to return in the final episodes. The first Marvel and ABC series to come during the MCU boom is currently airing its sixth season, but fans already have known the story would continue for at least one more season. It was recently revealed that Agents of SHIELD season 7 would be its last, marking an end to the longest-running Marvel series....

Apple on Wednesday introduced the second generation of its high-end AirPods Pro wireless earbuds, and they come with multiple enhancements. At the same time, the company also made some changes to the entire lineup of AirPods. Read on as we detail what’s new for the AirPods lineup. AirPods Pro 2 First and most obviously, there are AirPods Pro 2. The new generation comes with the same design as the previous version, but this time with hardware improvements....

As a society, we’re fascinated with crimes. The news cycle thrives on crimes that feature bizarre perspectives and circumstances. Better than simple new stories are documentaries looking into crimes like these, talking with those involved in the crimes and the court cases that follow to shed more light and understanding on events that fascinate society. For those looking to dig into more documentaries true crimes and criminals, Netflix is the place to be....

The demonic doll Annabelle returns to cinemas in Annabelle Comes Home, the third movie centered on the titular doll and the latest entry into the growing Conjuring Universe. After Daniela (Katie Sarife) accidentally unleashes all of the spirits locked away in the Warrens’ basement, she and Mary (Madison Iseman) and Judy Warren (Mckenna Grace) have to work together to survive the night. As simple as this premise is, there are some connections to the previous movies and real-life facts in relation to the Warrens (and their long history in the occult) that flew under the radar....

When someone mentions ’90s sitcoms, you automatically think of Seinfeld and Friends. Both shows garnered an impressive following during their years on air, while syndication ensured they remained in the public consciousness. It is easy to compare the success of these New York City-based shows, but Friends was more all-encompassing. Not only did Friends muster up the comedic factor that Seinfeld did, but it also included emotional plot lines, more relatable scenarios, and many other things that Seinfeld never touched on....

Graphic novels were often seen as the highbrow cousin of comic books. As a format, it allows for a concentrated look at societal issues, often times via the skewered manipulation of associated archetypes — particularly superheroes. Here, having powers doesn’t cast one as a villain or a hero, but a complex human being caught in between. The same goes for the everyman, a character that seems to run exclusively within the world of graphic novels; allowing a relatability that isn’t often provided by the writers of Marvel or DC....

Years of kid’s shows and Disney classics have made us assimilate villainy with ugliness. With their pointed horns, razor sharp fangs and slimy tentacles, there was no mistaking characters like Maleficent, Scar, and Ursula for anything but the story’s big bad. It makes sense that these “bad guys” are made to be so easily recognizable to younger audiences, but that isn’t always the case. Just like in real life, sometimes TV and movie villains appear average in every way possible....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is building to a climax this April, as every movie that has come out thus far has been leading towards The Avengers: Infinity War. While the hype for that film is at absurdly high levels thanks to several recent beloved MCU films (Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and more), it’s not like the MCU has never made any missteps. Some film scenes are just so odd that they take you out of the movie entirely....

The CW’s Flash has been a success for the most part. With the series running for a number of seasons, over the years the showrunners have managed to introduce various characters to the small screen, sometimes for the very first time! Like anything, it’s sometimes difficult to directly adapt a character from the page to the screen. Of course, the scarlet speedster has an incredible rogue’s gallery, and it would be difficult to include every single villain he’s ever faced....

A simple technology that enables 911 livestreaming is proving invaluable in letting emergency services see for themselves the nature of an emergency when someone calls them … When you use your smartphone to make an emergency call, operators can text you a link. When you tap on that, you will grant access to your phone’s cameras, so that they can see the emergency situation for themselves. This allows emergency services to instantly assess everything from the size of a fire to the severity of a car crash....
