Whether it be the exceptional remakes Capcom keeps producing, or the continuation of the series with games like Village, it’s clear that there’s no stopping the most popular zombie game series ever. And the recent rumors only add more excitement to the fray.

Not only have leaks of the upcoming installment started spreading, but recently, rumors of a potential remake of Resident Evil 1, yes, the original game, have started surfacing.

Black Friday – Crackle, Redbox (November 1)

A raucous creature feature that captures the horrors of shopping on Black Friday.

Baki Hanma is currently one of Netflix’s fan-favorite series, and its second season part two has recently premiered. Adapted from the manga ‘Baki the Grappler,’ written and illustrated by Keisuke Itagaki, the anime now spans two seasons available on Netflix. The storyline revolves around Baki Hanma as he undergoes rigorous training and tests his fighting skills against various opponents in deadly, no-rules hand-to-hand combat.

“Baki Hanma Season 2 Part 2” featured the highly anticipated fight between Baki and his father, Yujiro Hanma. With the epic conclusion of this intense father-son battle, fans eagerly await the much-anticipated Baki Hanma Season 3, prepared to embark on an adrenaline-rushed adventure with Baki Hanma.

No Official Announcement Yet for Baki Hanma Season 3

As of now, there has been no official announcement for “Baki Hanma Season 3.” Despite the anticipation surrounding the third season since the premiere of the second part of Baki Hanma Season 2, no official...

Unlike their just opened “Haunted Mansion”, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” might ultimately break even. If it does, its performance on PVOD could be make or break.

Of note, suggesting Disney’s much-revised strategy, this release came after nine weekends in theaters (60 days) and ahead of future Disney+ streaming.

With a reported production cost of $250 million and the usual added expense, its ultimate worldwide gross of $600 million, though otherwise impressive, means post-theatrical revenues need to be substantial. Opening #1 on all charts its initial week is a good first step.

What it will need is multiple weeks of strong play beyond a default first week #1. Last week “The Flash” (Warner Bros.), a far smaller performer in theaters, did debut at the top. But this week it’s only #2 on one chart (Vudu), while third and fourth elsewhere. The bounty for PVOD comes from long term, and high end charts (with the...

The latest entry in the animated franchise, Resident Evil: Death Island comes two years after the last entry, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and is set in 2015, just after the events of Resident Evil: Vendetta but before Resident Evil 7. Got that?

Somewhere in San Fransisco Dso Agent Leon S. Kennedy is trying to recover kidnapped scientist Dr. Antonio Taylor (Frank Todaro) when a mysterious woman appears and, after a high-speed chase, causes him to crash. Claire Redfield is also in town, trying to find out what kind of creature can use Orcas as a food source. And whether or not the creature is a bioweapon.

Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers are also looking for answers.

Resident Evil is a video-game franchise with no foreseeable end in sight. And as Capcom’s zombie shooter approaches the big 3-0, it unleashes another entry in the often overlooked animated series of films. Taking place between games 6 and 7, and following 2017’s Vendetta, the story of Resident Evil: Death Island is subject to the same formula as its predecessors. A big threat brews somewhere, and the characters rush in to stop it. However, the new animated film does manage to set itself apart by featuring an all-star cast and complementing the over-the-top action sequences with organic emotional moments.

While the previous animated films — Degeneration, Damnation, and Vendetta — tend to star only a few major characters from the game franchise, Death Island includes four heavy-hitters. Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Claire Redfield are all active during this mission.

It’s the final week of July and two more new horror movies are headed onto the big screen this weekend. They’ll have to compete with the #Barbenheimer phenomenon, but both new horror releases look to bring very different counter programming to the box office. One is the next rated “R” fright fest from A24, while the other is a horror-comedy built for families.

Here’s all the new horror releasing July 25– July 30, 2023!

First up, a tragedy leads two dysfunctional families to intertwine in disturbing ways in Screambox Exclusive Repulse, now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered platform.

The bleak, brutal Czech film harkens back to boundary-pushing horror like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.

In the film, Kateřina and Robert raise their young daughter in a luxurious modern villa, but their family life can hardly be called harmonious.

The Mortal Kombat franchise embraces a retro 1980s vibe with their next animated movie, titled Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match and coming home on October 17, 2023.

Warner Bros. Animation is keeping their series of R-rated animated films based on the Mortal Kombat video game franchise rolling at a steady pace. We got Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge in 2020, Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms in 2021, and Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind in 2022. Later this year, they’ll be releasing Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match – and while the Motion Picture Association has confirmed they’ve given this one an R rating, IGN has learned that Joel McHale – who voices lead character Johnny Cage after also providing the character’s voice in Scorpion’s Revenge and Battle of the Realms – is joined by a voice cast that includes Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey – as herself!

Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match has earned its R rating with “bloody violence and language“.

The film has the following synopsis: Neon lights… Suits with shoulder pads… Jumping from explosions in slow motion…...

A new live-action film based on the Resident Evil video game franchise is in the works (we’ve heard that it’s called Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and based on the game Resident Evil Zero), but while we wait to see how that’s going to turn out, we’re also going to have a new computer animated Resident Evil movie to watch. This one is called Resident Evil: Death Island, and it’s set to receive a Blu-ray, 4K steelbook, DVD, and digital release on July 25th! You can watch the trailer in the embed above.

Itching to see just what the upcoming Resident Evil: Dead Island is all about? Rather than waiting until July (or watching the trailer ad nauseam), Capcom will kick off a serial manga adaptation of Death Island this Friday.

Per the official Biohazard: Death Island Twitter account, the first volume of the manga will arrive on May 19th on Comic Hu. Details are still being kept under wraps at the moment but you can check out some of the awesome art below that’s already been released.

Wondering just where that fanservice shot from Resident Evil: Dead Island from yesterday came from? Animation studio Kadokawa has your answer with the brand-new Resident Evil: Death Island trailer!

The Death Island trailer does the usual trailer things of summarizing the plot, but also gives us more fanservice shots of the team shooting zombies and doing slick acrobatics, Chris Redfield in a Hawaiian shirt (?!), swimming Lickers and more. The trailer itself is in English with Japanese text, so you won’t need to hunt down a translation.

Keep in mind that the trailer only gives the Japanese release date of July 7. It’s still not confirmed what the worldwide release date will be.

And with the latest images, it’s definitely going to be one for the fans.

Noted leaker Dusk Golem once again provided the goods with an image of the new Japanese onesheet, along with a group shot featuring Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Rebecca Chambers making a stand against whatever big baddie they’re facing in the film.
