‘Verity’ Review: Showalter’s Film Adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Work Misses the Point

The one good thing about Michael Showalter’s Verity is that it has more verve than previous adaptations of Colleen Hoover’s work. It’s not very good, but at least Showalter has fun with compositions that recall the oeuvres of Brian De Palma and Paul Verhoeven. Plenty of split-diopters and superimpositions create a quasi-campy quality as cinematographer Jim Frohna captures Lowen Ashleigh’s (Dakota

‘Vaewolf’ Game Review (Early Access): A Wild Premise Done Well

The concept of Vaewolf sounds ridiculous at first. A young elf survives the massacre of his people, becomes infected by a werewolf curse, is rescued by a vampire, and ultimately turns into a creature capable of switching between all three forms.

‘Digger’ Review: A Gigantic Swing and a Miss

Digger is the most interesting film to release in 2026. Not because of its quality, but because, with all its marketing, posters, and Tom Cruise hype, when I sat down to watch the film, I soon realized I knew absolutely nothing about it. Outside an AMC Dolby theater, a few of us mused about what the film might be. Austin Powers

‘Silent Hill: Townfall’ Game Review: An Atmospheric Evolution from the Original

In the Silent Hill series, the name of the town was never the most important part of the games. What really mattered was the feelings those games brought out in the players: uncertainty, guilt, fear, disturbing symbolism, and the sensation that something bad will happen. Silent Hill: Townfall takes that idea further than most recent games, moving the series to the
