One of the most unique franchises to emerge in the last fifteen years, V/H/S feels like an indefinite horror franchise. After enough of the filmmakers broke through in the mainstream, other emerging voices have been eager to add their names to the franchise. Like Punk Goes Pop or And1 Mixtape for horror, the series has become a scouting ground for the next great horror filmmakers. With the arrival of V/H/S/Beyond, we’re ranking the films of the franchise. Within each, we also do a mini-ranking of the shorts, so keep an eye out for your favorite shorts.

7. V/H/S: Viral (2014)

While there are moments of Viral that stand out to this day, the overall style and stories rarely live up to the premise. Outside of this franchise, some segments would feel like a great little horror entry, but when the footage does not make sense as something that might come from a VHS,...

Renowned showrunner Shane Byrne and Emmy-winning producer Jamie D’Alton, two of Ireland’s leading TV execs, have teamed up to launch Diffusion Media, a new production company aimed at attracting international unscripted productions to Ireland and taking advantage of mooted Irish tax incentives for the unscripted sector.

D’Alton, who played a pivotal role in developing projects including Netflix doc feature “The Deepest Breath” and “Conor McGregor: Notorious” the highest-grossing Irish documentary of all time, sets up Diffusion after nearly 20 years as co-owner and joint managing director of Motive Television. D’Alton has executive produced and directed some of Ireland’s highest rated TV shows, including “DIY Sos: The Big Build Ireland” and “Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week,” as well as IFTA-winning films “I Am Immigrant” and “Man on a Mission.”

Meanwhile Byrne, who comes with a wealth of industry experience in the U.S., the U.K. and Ireland...

Kim Zolciak-Biermann plans a return to reality TV with a new show, but it’s not necessarily going to involve Bravo for the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum. She’s hinted at more reality TV in the past. Don’t Be Tardy ran for eight seasons, and a new show might be just what she needs as she struggles financially. It’s not likely that her few Rhoa cameos helped much with money.

Rhoa Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann In A New Show?

A hint about a return to reality TV arrived in August last year. However, as the Rhoa alum and Kroy Biermann split, will they both be on a TV show? Both of them struggle for money, and that might be enough for viewers to see them together. The question might arise whether Bravo fans would be interested in watching what might become toxic.

Kim Zolciak, Brielle Biermann – Instagram...

Kim Zolciak’s exile from reality TV is coming to an end.

Page Six reports that The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has a new unscripted series in the works.

The outlet stresses that the project is still in the early stages of development, but the popular TV personality is speaking “with several networks and streamers.”

There’s no telling where the project might land, but Zolciak has had much success on Bravo, the home of Rhoa.

She and her family headlined Don’t Be Tardy for eight seasons until its cancellation in 2020.

Since then, she’s had some cameos on Rhoa but isn’t expected to return for the revamped Season 16.

Kim Zolciak has experienced big changes in her personal life

Her planned return to the small screen comes amid some big changes in her personal, including her ongoing divorce from Kroy Biermann and financial woes.

While you wait for V/H/S/85 later this year, V/H/S/99 has hit Blu-ray and DVD. Among the extras for the fifth installment in the found footage horror franchise is an audio commentary moderated by Bloody Disgusting’s own The Boo Crew Podcast hosts Trevor Shand and Leone D’Antonio.

All six filmmakers participate for their respective segments: Maggie Levin for “Shredding,” Johannes Roberts for “Suicide Bid,” Flying Lotus for “Ozzy’s Dungeon,” Tyler MacIntyre for “The Gawkers,” and Vanessa & Joseph Winter for “To Hell and Back.”

Here are seven things I learned from the V/H/S/99 commentary…

1. The film almost didn’t have a wraparound story.

Wraparound segments are traditionally used to make an anthology feel of one piece rather than a random collection of shorts, but the producers originally intended to forgo the framing device on V/H/S/99.

It was later decided to use the increasingly ambitious stop-motion...

Released through the Shudder streaming service last October, the horror anthology film V/H/S/99 quickly became the most-watched film in the history of Shudder. It’s a good thing they already greenlit another sequel – V/H/S/85 – for this year. But while we wait to see how V/H/S/85 is going to turn out, Rlje Films has given V/H/S/99 a Blu-ray, DVD, and steelbook release – and copies can be purchased at This Link.

The story segments that make up V/H/S/99 were directed by Maggie Levin (Into The Dark: My Valentine), Johannes Roberts (Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City), Flying Lotus (Kuso), Tyler MacIntyre (Tragedy Girls), and Joseph & Vanessa Winter (Deadstream). Here’s the synopsis: V/H/S/99 harkens back to the final punk rock analog days of VHS, while taking one giant leap forward into the hellish new millennium. In V/H/S/99, a thirsty teenager’s home video leads to a series of horrifying revelations.

Josh Goldbloom produced V/H/S/99 for Cinepocalypse.

Seminal horror franchise V/H/S returns for its fifth wicked instalment V/H/S/99 – which will have you taped to the screen. The latest incarnation brings a brand-new host of hellish found footage fear fillers – five unique tales of mayhem and terror – all linked by the year 1999. This Shudder Original proved its horror chops, showing it’s still as popular as ever when it quickly became the streamer’s most-watched film – ever. Now, this terrifyingly thrilling feature is set to arrive on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on 27 March 2023, courtesy of Acorn Media International.

Witness a hellish vision of 1999 as social isolation, analogue technology, and disturbing home videos fuse into a nightmare of found footage savagery that explores the dark side of 1990s nostalgia. With roots in Rock n’ Roll, Maggie Levin’s ‘Shredding’ tells the story of a dare that turns deadly… meanwhile ‘Suicide Bid’ from Johannes Roberts, explores the concept of college...

To mark the release of V/H/S/99 on 27th March, we’ve been given a Blu-ray copy to give away to 1 winner.

Witness a hellish vision of 1999 as social isolation, analogue technology, and disturbing home videos fuse into a nightmare of found footage savagery that explores the dark side of 1990s nostalgia. With roots in Rock n’ Roll, Maggie Levin‘s ‘Shredding‘ tells the story of a dare that turns deadly… meanwhile ‘Suicide Bid‘ from Johannes Roberts (Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, 47 Metres Down), explores the concept of college hazing through a claustrophobic horror tale that’s sure to terrify viewers.

Renowned record producer, DJ, filmmaker and rapper Flying Lotus (Kuso) collaborates with Zoe Cooper, who takes the idea of a low-budget game show that humiliates its contestants with the promise of a reward that’s impossible to win… and in ‘The Gawkers’ – directed and penned by Tragedy Girls...

Dieth, the new death metal band featuring ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, have announced their debut album, To Hell and Back. The title track is available now ahead of the June 2nd release date.

Ellefson formed Dieth with ex-Entombed A.D. guitarist/vocalist Guilherme Miranda and drummer Michał Łysejko (ex-Decapitated) last year, and the unit’s death/thrash pedigree shines through on “To Hell and Back.” Miranda and Łysejko bring the extreme tendencies of their former bands — over-the-top guttaral vocals and technical rhythms, respectively — while Ellefson anchors the low-end as he so often did in Megadeth.

“‘To Hell and Back’ is the song that best describes our individual and collective journeys as professional musicians,” commented Miranda in a press statement. “For an album to connect with the listener, it has to have deep meaning, and this wraps up this whole moment for us. We’ve been to Hell — and we’re Back!

The odds are not good for “V/H/S” — which is to say it’s the even-numbered entries in this horror omnibus franchise that have been by far the best to date. As No. 5, “V/H/S/99” unfortunately maintains that pattern, providing an uninspired extension of the series that had rebounded after a seven-year lull with last fall’s “V/H/S/94.”

That installment was typically uneven, but the better segments were terrific. Here, nothing stands out: The best episodes are merely good enough, and the worst just tiresome. Nonetheless, this brand has proven viewer appeal for genre streaming platform Shudder, where it should do well when launched in various territories on Oct. 20. Set in 1999 — the tail of the titular format’s commercial reign, since DVDs were introduced two years prior — the film is unlikely to be the series’ last.

If this “V/H/S” has any binding theme, it would appear to be bullying. All...

Get ready to celebrate the New Millennium with some horrifying new found footage!! Our friends at Bloody-Disgusting have launched the first teaser trailer for V/H/S/99, the latest horror anthology offering from this exceptional series. The original V/H/S debuted in 2012, with the first sequel V/H/S/2 out right after in 2013, then V/H/S/94 in 2021. This latest one is premiering at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival in Midnight Madness, then following up with a premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX. Witness a hellish vision of 1999, as social isolation, analog technology and disturbing home videos fuse into a nightmare of found footage savagery. "Before selfies, before cell phones," there were monsters and spiders and murderers and creepy cults and more crazy shit. This looks insane!! I always appreciate how much they try to outdo themselves every time with each new V/H/S anthology. This one has five new segments to enjoy: "Ozzy's Dungeon" (it must involve Ozzy Osbourne?...

Criminal Minds never shied away from some really disturbing cases.

While the show's entirety is considerably dark, some of their unsubs bring the disturbing factor up to a 10 (and more).

With news that Criminal Minds plans on making a return on Paramount+, we decided to gather some of the most disturbing episodes we could think of!

Of course, a lot of this list is objective, and we can't make a list that's forever long (because we could definitely fill a very long list with disturbing cases).

Check out our list below (in no particular order), and pop down to the comments to add your most disturbing episode!

Starting with a bang, Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 8 dealt with a little bit of cannibalism. The unsub abducts women, but before he kills them, he forces them to eat fingers! The worst part of the episode came from...

The CMT Music Awards were presented on Wednesday night, June 9, during a two-and-a-half hour ceremony that aired across cable networks including CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount, and TV Land. It was hosted by Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown and featured a slew of performances and collaborations, but who were the big winners? Scroll down for the complete list in all categories.

SEEOlivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ is now a likely Grammy nominee for Album of the Year, according to our odds

Unlike the Academy of Country Music Awards or the Country Music Association Awards, which are decided by peers in the music industry, the CMT Awards are decided solely by fans voting for their favorites online in categories honoring their favorite music videos of the year.

The top category, Video of the Year, started with 14 nominees. Then an initial round of voting winnowed that list down to six on June 1. And...

The 2021 CMT Music Awards will be presented tonight, June 9, during a ceremony hosted by nominees Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown and airing live across Viacom networks including CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount, and TV Land. But who will win? Scroll down for our official racetrack odds in six categories, which are based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users. Our projected winners are highlighted in gold.

The CMT Awards differ from other country music events in that they’re decided strictly by fans voting online, unlike the CMA and ACM Awards, which are handed out by industry peers. And we’re betting that fans will be kinder to Carrie Underwood than those other awards often are. She rarely wins Entertainer of the Year at those events (and often isn’t even nominated), but she has won the top prize here more than anyone else, claiming Video of the Year eight times.

The 2021 CMT Music Awards nominations were announced on May 13 with the winners to be presented on Wednesday, June 9, during a ceremony hosted by Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown that will air across CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount Network, and TV Land. So who are the top contenders at this fan-voted event? Scroll down for the complete list.

Miranda Lambert and Maren Morris are the top nominees with four apiece. Lambert has two bids for Video of the Year, plus Collaborative Video for “Drunk” and Female Video for “Settling.” Morris is nominated in the same categories: Video of the Year for both “Chasing After You” with Ryan Hurd and “Better Than We Found It,” Collaborative Video for “Better,” and Female Video for “To Hell and Back.”

Ballerini, Brown, Little Big Town, and Mickey Guyton are next in line with three nominations apiece. However, most of those top artists may end up...

Carrie Underwood was the top honoree at Wednesday night’s fan-voted CMT Music Awards, winning the climactic video of the year honor as well as female video of the year for “Drinking Alone.”

Gabby Barrett, whose crossover hit “I Hope” went No. 1 at country earlier this year and just topped the Hot AC chart this week, won breakthrough video of the year. Accepting from home like most of the honorees, she mimed “holding my fake trophy” and noted that “this is my first time receiving a television award.” Barrett’s award was presented, remotely, by Taylor Swift, who’d picked up the same trophy 13 years earlier.

Accepting for collaborative video of the year for “Nobody But You,” Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani toasted one another and looked the model of domestic fireside tranquility. “I love you so much,” said Shelton. “I love you so much,” responded Stefani, who admitted that...

Exclusive: Arthur E. Friedman and Steven Jay Rubin are developing a limited series that will explore the life of actor, Congressional Medal of Honor winner and World War II hero Audie Murphy.

Friedman and Rubin have acquired rights to the 1959 Murphy biography No Name on the Bullet, written by Don Graham. The producers have teamed with Graham’s widow Betsy Berry for the project, and the search is now on for a writer to adapt.

The series will tell the unfiltered story of Murphy’s life, from his time in the Army fighting in WWII to his ascent as a Hollywood leading man in the 1940s and ’50s.

The producers say the TV series will add more depth to 1955’s To Hell and Back, in which Murphy starred in his own in the adaptation of his autobiography. It is set...

It's a big night for mama! During Wednesday evening's 2020 Acm Awards, new mom Maren Morris took to the stage in one of her first performances since welcoming her first child with husband Ryan Hurd.

"She is wearing one of my favorite looks from the runway, as once she put it on, she knew this was it!" Maren's stylist Dani Michelle told E! News. "For her performance, we wanted to play off the warm lights and this long-sleeve silhouette really let her be able to focus on the performance while still feeling...

The 55th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards will be presented on Wednesday, September 16, during a ceremony on CBS hosted by reigning Entertainer of the Year champ Keith Urban. These awards have been up in the air for a while now; originally planned for April 5 in Las Vegas, the telecast had to be delayed due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. But the show must go on, even if a few months later than usual. So which singers are performing at the long-awaited event? Click above to see the complete list of artists, which we’ll be updating as they’re announced.

The awards will no longer be doled out in Vegas. Instead, the show will broadcast from three venues in Nashville, Tennessee: the Grand Ole Opry House, Ryman Auditorium, and the Bluebird Cafe. Among this year’s top nominees are Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion and Maren Morris with five bids apiece.

The initial lineup of performers for the 55th annual Academy of Country Music Awards has been announced and includes Maren Morris, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert. The rescheduled event, delayed from its usual April date due to the coronavirus, is now set to take place September 16th in Nashville for the first time in show history.

“My temper was explosive… perhaps I was trying to level with my fists what I assumed fate had put above me.” – To Hell and Back, Audie Murphy, 1949

A remarkably self-aware assessment for such an angry young man. To hear him tell it, Audie Murphy came out of the cradle itching for a fight—when Pearl Harbor was attacked, he got one. He was only 16 at the time so he marched down to the recruiting center and lied about his age. In 1945 Murphy left the Army as the most-decorated soldier of World War II. In 1971 his twin-engine plane crashed into a mountainside in Virginia’s Roanoke County killing everyone on board. In the 26 years between the end of the war...

“I don’t think I know these songs that well, and I wrote them!” said Maren Morris, complementing the audience early in her sold-out performance at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday night.

She wasn’t exaggerating by much — the singer-songwriter’s new album Girl came out Friday, March 8th, and the Ryman show was only the second stop of her headlining 2019 Girl: The World Tour. Even so, Morris pulled out all the stops, blending pop-star swagger with the intimacy of a scaled-down songwriter’s night and even calling up guests Brandi Carlile,...

In the annals of cinema, there are just certain names that we’ve found synonymous with the horror genre such as Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price. But as time went on and the idea of sequels and franchises became the norm, one could say that the characters themselves outgrew any one performer, with the likes of Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers being some of the most notable examples.

Still, it’s the ones that have done the dance more than once that are most favored by fans. In the case of the aforementioned Jason Voorhees, many gravitate toward Kane Hodder as he’s played the character in four films, those being the seventh through tenth entries in the Friday the 13th franchise. Most fortunate for him, he’s also found a new home in recent years in the form of the Hatchet series, playing the grotesque Victor Crowley.

MaryAnn’s quick take… A rom-com for people who hate rom-coms. A painfully funny movie, full of enrapturing emotion that captures the glorious contradictions of all kinds of love. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing

How many ways can a movie be spoiled by its own mere existence so that it’s ruined before you even see it? We now know that it’s more than the many ways in which The Big Sick spoils itself, because its multiply-foregone conclusion does not hinder its amusements, lessen its drama, or take away from its big, big, all-enrapturing emotion. It’s kind of amazing.

At the peak of his ‘80s excess, Italian sleaze maestro Bruno Mattei – using the alias ‘Stefan Oblowsky’ – stunned audiences with The Other Hell, a raging Nunsploitation shocker about a series of brutal murders in a depraved convent. And while his cinematic legacy may remain controversial, Mattei here delivers a surprisingly stylized yet undeniably blasphemous orgy of stabbings, stigmata, Satanism, sexual violence and graphic savagery that ranks among his very best.

I don't know if you've had a chance to watch the first episode of Constantine or not, but it was really freakin' good! I loved what I saw in the first episode, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. A new featurette has been released called "To Hell and Back: Non Est Asylum," and it takes us behind the scenes with the cast and creators of the supernatural series. Matt Ryan, David Goyer, Geoff Johns, and Daniel Cerone talk about adapting the DC Comic, the Constantine character, and more. I also included a promo trailer for the second episode of the season, called "The Darkness Beneath."

Based on the wildly popular comic book series "Hellblazer" from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine specializes in giving hell... hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit,...

Animated Sequel to Todd & The Book of Pure Evil: “Having created two amazingly fun, critically-acclaimed, award-winning seasons of the television series “Todd & The Book of Pure Evil”, producers Aircraft Pictures, Corvid Pictures and Frantic Films have announced a feature length animated sequel.

“Our fans rallied and we raised partial funding through an insanely successful Indiegogo campaign,” stated director Craig David Wallace “giving our fans the ending they deserve – a full-length animated feature (with all new metal musical numbers) – that answers the age-old question “Gee,...

Back when the first "Sin City" was released in 2005, the idea of doing a 1:1 translation of a graphic novel for the big screen was so outside the box that it bordered on lunacy. But that's just what Robert Rodriguez, the filmmaker behind "Desperado" and "Spy Kids," did when adapting Frank Miller's hard-boiled graphic novel "Sin City."

Instead of appropriating the look and feel of the comic book, he just Xeroxed it. It was still black-and-white, with flashes of color, and the actors he chose (among them, Mickey Rourke as the mountainous bad-ass Marv, and Jessica Alba as damsel-in-distress Nancy) were so uncannily close to their comic book equivalents that they might as well have been inked and painted.

Rodriguez also made the generous decision to bring Miller on board as a screenwriter and co-director (something that the DGA frowned upon, leading to Rodriguez losing out on a number of high-profile studio gigs). Together,...

If you don't have plans for Memorial Day weekend, it will be a great time to tune in to Reelz. The weekend will feature not only a Bomb Girls marathon and the premiere of the Reelz original movie Bomb Girls: Facing the Enemy, we'll also be airing the National Memorial Day Parade on Monday at 2p Et/ 11a Pt. Of course if you need even more ways to commemorate the sacrifices of our nation’s veterans, it's a great weekend to watch some movies about real-life war heroes. Throw some popcorn in the microwave, turn on the A/C and check out our list of movies about real heroes making real sacrifices in defense of our nation’s freedom.

The VicMu Girls Are Coming Back

Sergeant York (1941)

Alvin York (Gary Cooper) was a simple man from Tennessee who hoped to avoid action in World War I because of his religious beliefs.

The work of H.P. Lovecraft has inspired not only legions of fans throughout the years but an entire sub-genre of horror. Highlighted by frail, false realities masking a horrific and unfathomable truth… and of course, tentacles, fans embrace Lovecraftian horror films like the squishy appendages they feature.

And with the release of Dead Shadows, we remember our Top 11 Lovecraftian Horror Films.

This list contains not just movies inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, although some of them are certainly here; it also has movies that fall into the Lovecraftian-inspired category. Cosmic horror of the unknown and unknowable that could fracture sanity hovering over reality. Cthulhu. And, of course, those tentacles we mentioned earlier.

As for honorable mentions, how about the wildly popular hit HBO show "True Detective" for starters? There are certainly some Lovecraftian influences there, including Rust Cohle's ideas on fate and religion and the cult of Hastur operating in Louisiana.

For Hollywood filmmakers everywhere, there’s arguably no production day more satisfying than the one where they get to create a fake movie-within-a-movie. Because it’s like starting a brand new project – one with less pressure and an unashamed sense of fun surrounding it. You also know that your audience are probably going to love it, ’cause everybody loves a movie-within-a-movie, don’t they?

And in some cases, as with Robert Rodriguez’s Machete, movies-within-movies eventually wind up getting made as fully-fledged flicks – thus is the power of a great fake trailer. Almost always hilarious, self-aware, clever (and sometimes even better than the movies that they appear in), here are 10 more of our favourite fake movies-within-movies that we’d definitely venture out to the theatre to see…

10. Nation’s Pride (Inglourious Basterds)

Directed by his buddy Eli Roth, Nation’s Pride (Stolz der Nation) acts as kind of centre piece to Tarantino’s WWII epic,...
