When Halle Berry took on the role of Catwoman in 2004, it seemed that the combination of Oscar-winning actress and fan-favorite DC villain was destined to bring in bucket-loads of cash for Warner Bros. However, when the critics got their claws out and box office numbers made a purr rather than a roar, the movie headed straight for the litter tray. Catwoman would become best known for being one of those rare superhero outings that lost money, bringing in just $82 million against the $100 million budget, and of course being the winner of four Golden Raspberry awards including one for Halle Berry herself who famously turned up to accept the dubious honor in person with her Oscar in tow....

Halloween Kills director David Gordon Green has described the upcoming finale, Halloween Ends, as “a much more intimate movie,” that will differ greatly from the previous two installments.

Continuing, David Gordon Green also likens Halloween Ends to one of John Carpenter’s other horror flicks, Christine, which follows the lives of Arnie Cunningham and the people around him after Arnie buys a classic red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, a car which seemingly has a mind of its own....

While the format war is finally over, it seems that high-definition media still has a long way to go.

There were 16.3 million standard DVD’s sold in the first two years (1997-1998) and there have been only 8....

Almost as a rite of passage for any up-and-coming actor, the horror genre doesn’t discriminate. It welcomes everyone, young and old, black and white, with open claws.

But for every Jaws, there is a Jaws: Revenge....
