We thought the Insidious franchise was dead. Turns out The Further had other plans. This week on New Movie Monday, we're diving into INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER, the sixth entry in a franchise that has spent years desperately trying to recapture the nightmare fuel of James Wan's original. And somehow... this one almost pulls it off. We're talking grotesque dental horror, nightmare pillow forts, creepy old cultists, some surprisingly effective scares, an absolutely bonkers expansion of The Further's mythology and a third act that threatens to undo almost everything the movie gets right. Is Out of the Further actually the best Insidious sequel? Has this franchise finally found a reason to keep going? And why the FUCK is there so much horrifying dentistry in this movie? FULL SPOILERS AHEAD. Join Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia as they break down Insidious: Out of the Further, pick their Most Messed Up Moments and decide whether we're ready to go back into The Further one more time.

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood we are reviewing SoulM8te. The 2026 science fiction erotic thriller is a spin-off of M3GAN and the third installment in the franchise. Directed and co-written by Kate Dolan, the film stars Lily Sullivan, David Rysdahl and Claudia Doumit, with Jason Blum and James Wan producing under the Blumhouse and Atomic Monster banners. The story follows a grieving man who beta tests an android companion as a way of coping with the death of his wife, only for the experiment in artificial intimacy to become increasingly dangerous. SoulM8te originated from a story by Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Rafael Jordan, with Dolan rewriting Jordan's original screenplay. Filming took place in Dublin from September through November 2024. Originally scheduled for a theatrical release in early 2026, the film was pulled from Universal's calendar before eventually premiering at the Gaze International LGBT Film Festival Dublin on July 31. Universal released it straight-to-digital on August 1, 2026.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Centuries before Hollywood dressed it in a nun's habit, the demon Valak prowled the pages of forbidden grimoires as a winged boy astride a two-headed dragon, commanding legions of serpents to do his bidding.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources):https://weirddarkness.com/valekREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24s8nzb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a centuries-old demon mistaken for a nun, through the Victorian trade in stolen corpses and a force field that appeared inside a 1980 factory, to a San Francisco trunk murder and a Catholic priest who claimed to have built a machine that could film the past.It opens with the demon Valak, who reaches modern audiences through The Nun and The Conjuring 2 as a pale, nun-robed figure but appears in the 17th-century grimoire Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or The Key of Solomon, as the 62nd spirit: a boy with angel's wings riding a two-headed dragon, commanding a legion of serpents and an army of thirty demons while hunting snakes and hidden treasure. The nun costume was the invention of director James Wan, who reshaped a vision the medium Lorraine Warren described to him — a swirling hooded figure carrying female energy — into a holy icon turned against her Catholic faith. Warren and her husband Ed, the demonologists who rose to fame after the 1976 Amityville investigation, reportedly met a spectral hooded figure at the Borley church in southern England, where lore held that a nun had been bricked alive in the convent walls after an affair with a monk. The Key of Solomon, which lists the seventy-two demons King Solomon was said to have vanquished, sat on the Vatican's Index librorum prohibitorum until the Church abandoned that list of prohibited books in 1966, though copies kept turning up in the hands of Catholic priests.From there the episode turns to the Anatomy Act of 1832, the British law that legalized dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouses and hospitals to end the grave-robbing of the resurrectionists, yet instead built an organized corpse trade across Victorian England. The twelfth-century St. Bartholomew's left wicker baskets beneath its King Henry VIII gate for body dealers to fill, while a Liverpool Street express known as the "dead train" carried sealed funeral wagons of stacked corpses toward Cambridge. Deepening the trade, the New Poor Law of 1834 confined the destitute to workhouses whose officials profited from selling the dead, and in 1858 the master of St. Mary Newington workhouse, Alfred Feist, was caught funneling pauper bodies to Guy's Hospital through the undertaker Robert Hogg, who staged fake funerals and collected double payment. Anatomists prized the bodies of fetuses and children, keeping their skulls intact — only one of fifty-four specimens in a Cambridge collection had received a craniotomy — and the public's dread boiled over in Manchester in 1832, when a grandfather opened the coffin of a three-year-old who had died at the Swan Street Cholera Hospital and found a brick where the boy's head should have been.Next comes a stranger kind of dread, set in the summer of 1980 at a 3M plant in South Carolina, where workers slitting twenty-foot-wide polypropylene film at a thousand feet per minute walked into an invisible wall they could not push through. The static-charged field, which one worker measured past the limit of a 200-kilovolt handheld electrometer, pulled people toward it so strongly they had to back away on foot, swallowed a passing fly, and by one account could have held a bird in its grip before vanishing as abruptly as it formed. Managers reproduced the effect the next morning under lower humidity, and the plant production manager reportedly said he didn't know whether to fix it or sell tickets; later accounts claim a researcher who published on the phenomenon was contacted by NASA and federal agencies before the grounding fault was corrected and the field never returned.The episode then moves to a true-crime case in San Francisco, where around midnight on October 20, 1880, George A. Wheeler walked into a police station and confessed to strangling his sister-in-law Della Tillson and packing her body into a trunk in their room at 23 Kearney Street. Wheeler had fathered two children with Della, both of whom died, while her sister — his deaf wife, May — lived across the hall posing as his sister-in-law, and the arrival of the miner George Peckham, who hoped to marry Della and take her to Sacramento, drove Wheeler to kill rather than let the two leave together. He told reporters that Della sat in his lap and asked him to end her life, that she died with her head on his shoulder, and his defense of hereditary insanity failed across two trials, the second forced by a California Supreme Court ruling over improperly admitted testimony from a book on medical jurisprudence. On January 23, 1884, five thousand people gathered outside the jail, entrance tickets sold for ten dollars apiece, and Wheeler — newly drawn toward Catholic conversion under Father Cottle — kissed a crucifix, commended his spirit, and dropped to a broken neck.The episode closes inside the Vatican with Father Pellegrino Ernetti, an Italian priest, exorcist, and musical scholar who claimed in the 1950s to have helped build a device called the Chronovisor that could see and hear the past. Ernetti said a team of twelve anonymous scientists, among them the physicist Enrico Fermi and the rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, tuned the machine to a speech by Mussolini, then Napoleon, a Roman market under Emperor Trajan, a Cicero oration, and a 169 B.C. performance of Quintus Ennius's lost tragedy Thyestes, which he said let him publish its full text. When the magazine La Domenica del Corriere printed a Chronovisor image of Christ's face on the cross on May 2, 1972, it was soon matched to a mirrored photograph of a wood carving by the sculptor Cullot Valera, and Ernetti — who said the machine was too dangerous to exist and had been dismantled and hidden — left behind no device, no named living witnesses, and a 1993 presentation to four cardinals whose contents were never disclosed.

Dos fóruns da internet para as telas de cinema, "Backrooms: Um Não-Lugar" traz o realismo para o fantástico com uso de found footage e cenários surrealistas. Dirigido pelo novato Kane Parsons, mais jovem cineasta contratado pela produtora A24, o filme traz Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Anos de Escravidão", "Coisas Belas e Sujas") no papel de Clark, um arquiteto que passa por uma crise pessoal após o fim do casamento e a frustração com a carreira profissional. Vivendo como vendedor de móveis, ele descobre acidentamente uma passagem para uma dimensão paralela em sua loja e adentra um mundo de imensas salas e corredores labirínticos que guardam perigos imprevisíveis. Intrigada com a história de Clark, a psicológa Mary, vivida por Renate Einsve ("Valor Sentimental", "A Pior Pessoa do Mundo"), tenta ajudá-lo, mas no caminho também se lança ao risco de se perder. Situado nos anos 90, "Backrooms" se apropria de códigos do cinema de horror e estéticas surrealistas, que passam por Lewis Carroll, Escher e David Lynch, para criar uma noção de nostalgia distorcida na qual objetos, lugares e imagens de conforto se convertem em formas ameaçadoras e inóspitas.

The Backrooms, they argue, is about us, stuck in our own feedback loop, drifting through vacant spaces. Online, half the internet thinks Kane Parsons couldn't have directed such a hit so young. Mark Duplass, who was on set the whole time, says they're wrong. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve carry the screen, with James Wan and Osgood Perkins producing.

En compañía de la actriz Norma Ruiz y el director Miguel Ángel Lamata, que presentan La ahorcada, hablamos de la mítica Insidious (2010). En una nueva entrega del programa Par-impar de esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios se sumergen en el análisis de una de las obras más influyentes del cine de terror contemporáneo: Insidious (2010). Para este recorrido por lo sobrenatural, cuentan con la presencia del director Miguel Ángel Lamata y la actriz Norma Ruiz, quienes visitan los estudios de Libertad Digital para presentar su proyecto cinematográfico titulado La ahorcada. El grupo destaca la maestría de James Wan para revolucionar el género con un presupuesto ínfimo de apenas un millón de dólares. Los tertulianos coinciden en que la película no solo fue un éxito de taquilla, recaudando cerca de cien millones, sino que estableció un nuevo estándar para el cine de terror moderno. La clave de este éxito radica en la capacidad de Wan para utilizar elementos cotidianos y convertirlos en fuentes de angustia absoluta, como el uso de la canción Tiptoe Through the Tulips. El audio arranca con una animada charla sobre el proceso de rodaje de La ahorcada, una película que, según explican sus creadores, transita entre el thriller psicológico y el horror más clásico. Lamata relata con detalle la atmósfera inquietante que vivieron durante la grabación en la provincia de Teruel, específicamente en un antiguo orfanato abandonado en la calle Comandante Aguado. Este escenario real, cargado de historia y leyendas locales, proporcionó el entorno perfecto para la película, pero también regaló al equipo experiencias que rozaron lo paranormal. La conversación aborda el concepto central de la trama: la proyección o viaje astral. Explican cómo la película subvierte el tropo de la casa encantada para revelar que no es el lugar el que está maldito, sino el niño. Este giro narrativo convierte al cuerpo del pequeño en un recipiente vacío que los espíritus del más allá anhelan ocupar. Miguel Ángel Lamata reflexiona sobre cómo esta idea de vulnerabilidad durante el sueño es un miedo universal que conecta profundamente con el espectador. Los colaboradores de esRadio analizan también la estética de los fantasmas de Wan. A diferencia de otras producciones donde los espectros son etéreos o digitales, en Insidious las presencias son físicas y casi tangibles, lo que aumenta la sensación de peligro inminente. Destacan especialmente el diseño del demonio de cara roja, conocido entre los fans como el Lipstick-Face Demon, y cómo su aparición mediante un jump scare detrás de Patrick Wilson se ha convertido en una de las imágenes más icónicas del siglo XXI.

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Josh Parham, and Cody Dericks join me to review and discuss "Lee Cronin's The Mummy," starring Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Verónica Falcón, and Natalie Grace. A reimagining of "The Mummy" franchise (Not THAT "Mummy" franchise starring Brendan Fraser), the film is produced by James Wan and Jason Blum and brings a much darker, more sinister edge to the franchise than has ever been seen before. It injects the same style and tone Cronin brought to the "Evil Dead" franchise, producing something gory, shocking, and punishingly brutal for both the characters and the audience. But what did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, the acting, sound work, makeup effects, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

After 20 years of development hell, Metal Gear Solid is finally becoming a movie with Final Destination: Bloodlines directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein attached, and Hideo Kojima doesn't appear to be part of the production. Netflix greenlights Extraction 3 with Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba returning for summer 2026 production in Sydney and Europe, continuing Tyler Rake's story from the Extraction 2 cliffhanger. In a stunning admission, Disney and James Cameron are discussing making future Avatar movies "cheaper and shorter" after Avatar: Fire and Ash earned $1.4 billion with insiders calling the franchise "culturally exhausted" despite the massive box office. Jonathan Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne fell six feet through an unsecured window on the set of his Daily Wire action movie comeback vehicle, with Kilcoyne requiring stitches across both hands; the incident sparked a crew strike after over half the production team walked off citing safety concerns including falling props, black mold, missing oversight, and a special effects supervisor with a prior explosives conviction, while producers responded by saying they "don't negotiate with communists." Amazon MGM Studios officially greenlights RoboCop series reboot for Prime Video under new TV chief Peter Friedlander, with Peter Ocko as showrunner and James Wan executive producing, reviving the franchise after years in development limbo and previous failed attempts at legacy film sequels. Plus: Cameron potentially passing Avatar franchise to younger director or finishing the story as novels, Lipovsky and Stein's hot streak includes Gremlins 3 and animated Venom movie, and the question of whether Avatar 4 and 5 need to happen after $6.7 billion across three films. Every story is either franchise resurrection, franchise exhaustion, or production chaos.The Nerdpocalypse is a weekly podcast covering the latest movie news, TV show news, trailer reactions, and pop culture commentary.

"The ultimate indie film success story! Writer and director Ian Tuason joins Giles Alderson to discuss his massive breakout horror hit, Undertone. Made for just $500,000, Undertone sparked a bidding war at Fantasia Fest, was acquired by A24 in a 7-figure deal, and is now crushing the global box office ($20M and counting). Ian breaks down how he crafted 'the scariest movie you'll ever hear' by making an audio-driven horror film where only one speaking character (Nina Kiri) is ever shown on screen. We dive deep into the emotional reality of indie filmmaking, as Ian reveals what it was like to shoot the film in his childhood home where he previously cared for his terminally ill parents. We also discuss his background in 360-degree VR horror and how this massive indie hit led to him being hired by Jason Blum and James Wan to write and direct Paranormal Activity 8.

Writer-director Lee Cronin joins No Film School to discuss how he approached reimagining The Mummy through the lens of family trauma, mystery, and body horror. In conversation with GG Hawkins, Cronin breaks down the emotional architecture behind effective horror, the challenge of staging fear in broad daylight, and the way Irish storytelling, personal experience, and practical effects continue to shape his work. He also reflects on building a long-term creative partnership, collaborating with horror powerhouses like Jason Blum and James Wan, and the discipline required to keep refining a film all the way through the edit. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Lee Cronin discuss... How Cronin infused The Mummy with mystery, family drama, and horror Why broad daylight can make horror feel even more unsettling The emotional groundwork required to make gore and shock land with audiences How themes from The Hole in the Ground evolved into The Mummy Why character is always the engine of fear in Cronin's films How Cronin thinks about the “contract” he makes with audiences from the earliest story stage The practical and creative lessons he learned from years of making corporate videos and commercials What it was like collaborating with Jack Reynor, Jason Blum, and James Wan How shooting in Ireland and Spain helped shape the scale and texture of the film Advice for emerging filmmakers on collaborators, restraint, and cutting what does not work Memorable Quotes: “Writing is not hard at all.
