Get ready to sink your teeth into one of the best horror films of last year on streaming.(I’m sorry. I’m legally required to include at least one bad pun in every blog post I write.)Robert Eggers’ remake of the classic silent horror film Nosferatu became one of the surprise hits of 2024, grossing over $175 million worldwide. Now, after just under two months in theaters, it’s set to debut on streaming later in February.Eggers’ version of F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu — which was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula — stars Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, a vampire who sets his sights on a…

Bianca Rafaella’s paintings dance and flicker. Recognizable forms such as flowers move into focus amid a sea of pale, ephemeral-seeming marks. These large canvases communicate the British artist’s unique way of seeing: She is partially sighted and experiences nystagmus in her left eye, which creates involuntary movement. “My work shows how someone with very little distance vision can interact with paint through a completely tactile process,” Rafaella said in an interview ahead of “Faint Memories,” her first major solo show, on view through March 15th at Flowers Gallery in London. “My paintings show flowers, but they’re coming out of nowhere,”…
There are those special first movies from untested directors that showcase the breadth of their talent, that let the audience know immediately that this is a filmmaker whose work we ought to pay attention to — your Citizen Kanes, your Night of the Living Deads, your Saws, your Hereditarys. These movies are remarkable not just because they’re so good, but because it’s genuinely pretty hard to come out of the gate swinging like that. Most directors, even our most beloved ones, cut their teeth on franchise films or lesser ideas before launching their passion projects.It can be jarring to look…
It’s hard to classify which genre director Scott Derrickson’s “The Gorge” neatly slots into, given that it seamlessly switches between romance, action, horror, and political thriller with harmonious purpose. It follows Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Levi (Miles Teller), elite snipers tasked with standing guard at opposites over a gorge that contains unknown horrors. The two are strictly forbidden from interacting with each other, with the overseer of operations of the gorge, Bartholomew (Sigourney Weaver), commanding Levi to stay focused on the task at hand. The film takes its time to reveal exactly what lies beneath, focusing instead on how Drasa…
After nearly two years, Showtime’s hit series “Yellowjackets” is finally back for its third season. Though Season 1 was critically acclaimed, the second suffered from an unraveling narrative that oftentimes felt too chaotic for the grounded show this once was. (A classic example of a bloated sophomore season that didn’t understand that the languid pace and unanswered questions in its first were what made it so successful.) However, with Season 3, the show has allowed these questions to take hold again, slowing the series down and morphing it back into the show that captured viewers’ attention in 2021. Since escaping…
ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive Young Werther poster, which was designed by director José Lourenço and artist Simon Wilkinson. Following its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, the latest romantic comedy movie is now available to rent or own on digital platforms starting today. The Young Werther poster mimics a love note that one would carry folded in one’s pocket. Another incredible detail is that the text of the book the film is based on — The Sorrows of Young Wether — was turned into the poster’s textured background. It celebrates the romance film’s Valentine’s Day release…

Today’s Jewelry Collection Story comes from Cathy of @rosydelights – whose collection has enchanted me for so long! When I brought back this series, Cathy was the first on my list to ask, and I’m so thankful she wanted to share. Her jewelry collection is not only beautiful but it is RARE! These cherub pieces are so hard to come by and she has so many in incredible condition. She also styles her pieces really well when putting together necklace stacks, there’s more photos like this on her Instagram page. Let’s get into her feature: “I love that antique jewelry…
Every party should have Warhol films projected. That’s my conclusion after revisiting some of them for hours at the tiny but warm New York Museum of Sex show “Looking at Andy Looking.” Everyone should fall asleep to Sleep (1964). Every film frame can, if hung over a bed, lull you. The filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami once said that he preferred movies that make you sleep—that are “kind enough to allow you a nice nap”—especially against those loud, violence-stuffed movies that take you “hostage.” Well, Warhol’s films are just as kind. In response to the endless, frightening sixties business of assassination, imperial…
