News

By Jaden Thompson According To The Daily) After more than two years — and a wildly suspenseful Season 1 cliffhanger — “Severance” is finally back. Apple TV+ released a teaser for Season 2 of the workplace thriller, which will debut on the streamer on Friday, Jan. 17. The 10-episode season will drop weekly episodes on Fridays after that. Adam Scott stars as Mark Scout, who works a desk job at a mysterious biotech company known as Lumon.

Patricia Arquette stars as the manager of the severed employees, as well as Mark’s next-door neighbor...

News

By Alison Herman According To The Daily) SPOILER ALERT: This story contains plot details for HBO’s “A Dance of Dragons,” Season 2, Episode 4 of “House of the Dragon,” now streaming on Max. The war had already started in earnest, but with Sunday’s episode of “House of the Dragon,” the Dance of the Dragons has officially begun. “The Red Dragon and the Gold” culminates with the battle for Rook’s Rest, a small and unremarkable castle on the rocky coast of Westeros. But while the prize may be minor, the combatants are certainly not. Rook’s Rest is the conflict’s first skirmish to pit dragon against dragon — not the impulsive, accidental meeting that took the life of Prince Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) in the Season 1 finale, but a planned face-off with deadly results. ...

Longlegs’ Review: Nicolas Cage Worms His Way Into Your Nightmares With Dread-Filled Serial Killer Thriller

News

By Peter Debruge According To The Daily) Now here’s a first: Apart from the pale-faced freak show of the film’s title, the experience of watching “Longlegs” didn’t strike me as all that frightening. At first. In the moment, it’s considerably less scary than the ecstatic early buzz — ginned up by Neon via whisper campaigns and strategic advance screenings — would have you believe. Less than 12 hours after seeing it, however, the demented Nicolas Cage character resurfaced in my nightmares, popping up out of nowhere to screech, “Hail Satan!” in that unnerving, high-pitched voice of his. How many horror movies can claim to hijack your subconscious? With “Longlegs,” writer-director Osgood Perkins (“The Blackcoat’s Daughter”) delivers the kind of payoff we sought ...
