Toge Productions’ Whisper Mountain Outbreak is a tense, atmospheric blend of escape-room puzzle solving and survival horror, wrapped in a co-op package that feels like the love child of Resident Evil: Outbreak and Project Zomboid. Released in August 2025, it takes players back to 1998, where an ancient curse has turned Mount Bisik into a fog-choked nightmare filled with whispers, monsters, and a fight for survival. Whether you dive in solo or grab up to three friends, the result is a thrilling, claustrophobic experience that thrives on teamwork and smart play. A Cursed Mountain and a Deadly Fog The game’s…

🎬 The Setup When 17 children from the same classroom all mysteriously vanish one night at the exact same time, the community descends into chaos. Only one student remains behind. Tensions boil, suspicions fly, and the schoolteacher at the center of it all (Julia Garner) faces not only grief-stricken parents, but a mystery no one can explain. Is it trauma? A coordinated kidnapping? Paranormal? Something worse? Weapons asks the audience to play detective alongside its characters as it unspools a multi-perspective, slow-burn horror mystery that’s less about jump scares—and more about dread. 🧩 Structure & Storytelling Without spoiling anything, Weapons…

The 2025 War of the Worlds is a staggering case study in cinematic failure. Not the fun kind of failure — the kind that’s bizarre and watchable — but the corporate, joyless, “how did this get made?” flavor that leaves you with a mild headache and a strong urge to cancel Prime Video. Directed by Rich Lee, a former music video director best known for Eminem collabs and previsualization work on Pirates of the Caribbean, this take on H.G. Wells’ classic novel is a Frankenstein’s monster of bad CGI, awkward product placement, phoned-in performances, and tone-deaf seriousness. This movie isn’t…

It was never going to be great. That was clear from the moment Netflix dropped the trailer with the now-infamous “Maxi Golf” gimmick and a cavalcade of celebrity cameos shoehorned in like a charity telethon gone off the rails. But no one—no one—could have predicted just how joyless, baffling, and brutally unfunny Happy Gilmore 2 would be. And this is coming from fans who actually like Adam Sandler, who grew up quoting the original, and who still laugh when they think about Bob Barker laying the smack down on Happy in the middle of a charity tournament. This sequel, nearly…

When Galactus Arrives on Earth 828, Real Families Fall Apart and Stand Together After decades of false starts and franchise-heavy baggage, Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives as the definitive origin reboot. Directed by Matt Shakman with a staggering $200M+ budget, this 1 hour 55 minute spectacle reintroduces Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben to a modern (but retro‑styled) world—and immediately throws them into a cosmic crisis. Grounded while bold, this could be the fourth try Mar‑Vel has needed. Galactus & Silver Surfer Aren’t Just Cameos—They’re Centerpieces What sets this apart isn’t the spectacle, but how fearlessly it embraces it. Galactus strides across…

Ari Aster Unmasks a Nation in Collapse Coming off the surreal chaos of Beau Is Afraid, writer-director Ari Aster returns with Eddington, a deeply provocative, deliberately uncomfortable satire-thriller set in a fictional New Mexico town during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clocking in at 2 hours and 25 minutes, this slow-burning social pressure cooker finds Aster diving headfirst into the cultural war zone of 2020s America—and dragging the audience down with him. Eddington isn’t horror in the traditional sense, but it is horrifying. Not because of ghosts or slashers, but because of how close it all hits home. It’s the Thanksgiving argument…
