So much better than we expected! Natalie Grace in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026) ★★★★ The first half of 2026 certainly made a statement in the horror genre. Reverberations will be felt across Hollywood as studios reassess what constitutes a blockbuster. The recent critical success of Sinners, Weapons, and The Substance appears to be bearing fruit. The results may have led to a diverse slate of offerings for 2026, and it is reflected in the wide array of horror offerings so far this year. If variety is your preference, then you have been in luck, so far. The unimaginable financial and critical success of Obsession and Backrooms, particularly given their low cost, have re-written the horror producer’s playbook, and will have a lasting impact for years to come. The Scariest Things evaluated what we’ve seen so far, and have come back with a report card of our favorites. The Mid Major – Large Indie Productions: It will be interesting to do an autopsy of 2026’s horror fare when we do our year end assessment. This year’s crop has been notably light on mid-major productions so far. The roaring successes we’ve seen thus far have been from the deep indie filmmakers. Backrooms, Undertone, Hokum, and Obsession. All original titles, and produced for less than $5 million. These are not the type of films you would typically predict would be box office hits. But, they outperformed any reasonable expectation, particularly startling for Backrooms and Obsession, which will have cinema economists trying to figure out the alchemy. The Major Studios: There were only a few major studio franchise sequels this year. All of them capable, but none of them superseding their source material. Scream 7 did very well at the box office, but it failed to make a big impression. Evil Dead Burn was a very violent, very intense outing that didn’t connect in the way its predecessors have. Scary Movie also did well on its $30 million budget, earning $210 million, its long layoff didn’t hurt its popularity, despite the derivative humor. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was a hit with critics (including our own Liz Williams) but it’s turn from zombies may have hurt it in the box office, as it probably will not make its budget back. The notable big comeback was Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which gives horror fans hope that Universal has gotten their monsterverse back on track, and remembered how to deliver a vicious movie with a good story. The Festival Circuit: Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get out to as many film festivals this year as we would have liked, but we still managed to review a lot of great small indie horror films. Our traditional rotation of SXSW, Overlook, Portland Horror, and Popcorn Frights all provided very interesting films from emerging filmmakers. Even the bigger festival this year were heavy on small indie productions, and there were a lot of good offerings. We didn’t discuss all of them in our Podcast, but you can review a lot of the movies we saw with links on the images below. There is an emerging trend of release schedules for many of the best independent horror films, relative to the festival circuit. Open at SXSW (Or sometimes Sundance), get some buzz, go to Overlook to validate the buzz, and then release in the early summer. It can be a big momentum builder. Last year it was The Ugly Stepsister (Oscar Nom), and Good Boy that were the big beneficiaries of that combination. This year it was Obsession, Hokum, and Leviticus. Sometimes Panic Fest will factor into the equation, depending on when runs relative to Overlook. Popcorn Frights still brought a massive catalogue for viewing, but this year was more reliant on reperatory films. Some of my favorite films this year were horror adjacent, and all of their streaming content was small indie productions. Our favorite local festival, The Portland Horror Film Festival had an unusually large amount of feature films, and the best part was that almost all of the directors participated in the festival. We were fortunate to get interviews with all of them. Check out our Podcasts for the interviews. It was a diverse group of films, and not a dud among them. What is Still Coming in 2026? Probably the most intriguing film still due out is a new take on Resident Evil by Zach Cregger, the director of Barbarian and Weapons. This is a major tonal shift for Sony. No more Mia Jovovic or Paul W.S. Anderson. Video game translations are usually dubious, and the franchise squandered its potential. It became more superhero and less horror. However, Sony is gambling that with the right creator, it might revitalize the legacy, and Cregger may inject real scares into this franchise for the first time since the original. We shall see. The trailer looks great. Other Mommy, which arrives on October 9, has some incredibly disturbing visuals. Jessica Chastain stars, and Rob Savage (Host) directs. This uncanny-valley movie came late to my radar and is intriguing. Later this August, the Insidious franchise is issuing Insidious: Out of the Further. Lin Shaye returns, Leigh Whannell writes this, and it has a banger trailer. This franchise has maintained some of the scariest PG-13 fare, but the sequels have been a gradual decline in quality. We’ll see how this goes. Beware Boiúna might give us the Anaconda movie we wish we got earlier this year, and wipe the slate clean from the Jack Black/Paul Rudd disappointment. It’s R-rated, and features reliable scream queen Jessica Rothe, along with Logan Marshall-Green and Kiana Madeira in the Amazon. The trailer impressed me with the snake’s monstrousness. Another fascinating man-vs-nature survival tale is Whalefall, a terrifying concept in which a scuba diver is in jeopardy of being consumed by a sperm whale if the giant squid the whale has snagged doesn’t kill him first. Clayface will attempt to bridge the superhero and horror genres, which is no easy feat. Will it have enough horror for horror fans, and will it have enough fealty to the Batman universe to appeal to the comic book fans? Mike Flanagan wrote it, and it promises real R-rated body horror, so it could be very interesting. Lastly, Robert Eggers’ period piece Werwulf is getting the full Eggers treatment, in monochrome and as moody as you could possibly want. Hopefully it will get the stink of the Wolf Man out of our popcorn. Just give me a great transformation scene, please. Keep an eye out for It Ends, a festival darling from 2025 which is finally getting a limited release this year. It is a brilliant, if melancholy purgatory metaphor. If you enjoyed Backrooms, you should check this film out if you are lucky enough to have it showing in a theater near you. Of course, some smaller films will come out of the shadows and inevitably make our end-of-the-top-10 lists, but this is what we know so far.

Neste episódio do podcast De Volta Para o Sofá, nós rebobinamos a fita até o ano de 1995 para revisitarmos "Mortal Kombat", primeira adaptação para o cinema do popular jogo de luta. O filme tem direção de Paul W.S. Anderson (que mais tarde também levaria "Resident Evil" para a telona) e no elenco principal estão Robin Shou (Liu Kang), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang-Tsung), Christopher Lambert (Rayden), Bridgette Wilson (Sonya Blade), Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage) e Talisa Soto (Kitana). Prepare o seu Fatality e aperte o play para revisitar "Mortal Kombat" com a gente! Venha descobrir se o filme ainda é tão marcante quanto na época em que o vimos pela primeira vez. Confira abaixo a minutagem dos quadros do podcast: 00:00:00 - Introdução 00:01:23 - Memória Afetiva: quando vimos o filme pela primeira vez e como foi revê-lo agora? 00:22:02 - Almanaque: uma coleção de informações, reflexões e curiosidades 00:44:12 - Deu Tilt: aspectos que ficaram datados ou cenas que não funcionam mais 01:03:53 - Momento Supra Sumo: nossas cenas favoritas 01:14:59 - Por Onde Anda: saiba o que o elenco principal está fazendo hoje em dia 01:38:17 - Música de Encerramento - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema Em "Mortal Kombat", três relutantes lutadores -- Liu Kang, Sonya Blade e Johnny Cage -- são enviados para uma ilha remota onde enfrentarão adversários perigosos em um torneio no qual o destino da Terra está em jogo. Com a ajuda do poderoso Lord Rayden, eles terão que passar por combates mortais até chegarem ao confronto final contra o temido feiticeiro Shang-Tsung. Lançado quando os jogos de "Mortal Kombat" já eram uma febre mundial, o filme fez sucesso de bilheteria, mas foi alvo de críticas por retirar quase que integralmente a violência extrema e o sangue que fizeram a fama do game e o tornaram o principal concorrente de "Street Fighter" nos fliperamas. O longa teve uma continuação, "Mortal Kombat - A Aniquilação" (1997), e mais tarde a franquia ganhou séries de TV e um reboot no cinema, em 2021. No podcast, nós relembramos quando assistimos a "Mortal Kombat" pela primeira vez e você conhece diversas curiosidades sobre a produção. O programa traz ainda o quadro "Deu Tilt", no qual nós listamos aspectos ou cenas que não funcionaram na revisão do filme, e o "Momento Supra Sumo", quando nós elegemos nossas cenas favoritas. Você também fica sabendo por onde andam os principais integrantes do elenco. O De Volta Para o Sofá é produzido e apresentado por Renato Silveira e Kel Gomes, editores do cinematório.

After years in development hell, a live-action adaptation of the blockbuster survival horror video game Resident Evil finally hit screens in 2002. As opposed to just retelling a story fans were already familiar with, this was intended to be a prequel featuring a new set of characters and references to the series deeper lore.  That's... sort of what this is. Not really. And as a result, the film's financial success was offset by a backlash from gamers who didn't appreciate the bait and switch. Or a Resident Evil that was light on gore and heavy on post-Matrix style action.  But now that we're on the eve of Zach Cregger's reboot, we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at where it all began for RE on the big screen. Topics include: earlier incarnations that were more reflective of the first game, George A. Romero's involvement with the project (and unceremonious departure), why Paul W.S. Anderson was exactly the right guy for the approach the producers favored, how many similarities this shares with his eventual Alien Vs. Predator film, the make-up and effects, whether or not the lack of gore is the real issue here, thoughts on the sequels, hopes for the reboot, and much more!

This week, we review Mortal Kombat (1995), Paul W.S. Anderson's action-packed martial arts fantasy based on the iconic Midway video game franchise. Robin Shou, Linden Ashby, and Bridgette Wilson star as Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade — three warriors chosen to fight in an ancient interdimensional tournament to save Earth from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung, played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. With Christopher Lambert presiding over the chaos as the thunder god Raiden, and Outworld already sitting on nine wins out of ten, the stakes couldn't be higher. This film raises intriguing questions about what it truly means to fight for humanity — and whether a dodgy CGI lizard man is really the best line of defence.Is Mortal Kombat a finishing move or a finishing disaster?

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de “Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas” Cine, Televisión, Música y videojuegos para escuchar.  Hoy nos ponemos los protectores, nos ajustamos las vendas y nos preparamos para “un poco de la vieja ultraviolencia” cinematográfica.Hoy regresamos a la arena. Vamos a hablar de “Mortal Kombat 2”, la esperadísima continuación de aquella cinta de 2021 que nos dejó con ganas de más sangre y, sobre todo, de un torneo real. Ha sido un camino largo. La película llega finalmente este 2026 tras un retraso que nos tuvo en ascuas, provocado principalmente por las huelgas de actores y guionistas que paralizaron Hollywood, sumado a una postproducción masiva que buscaba pulir esos efectos visuales que esta franquicia exige. Pero, ¿de qué va esta secuela? Sin caer en spoilers, la historia retoma justo donde la dejamos: las fuerzas de la Tierra deben buscar a nuevos campeones para enfrentar la invasión definitiva de Shao Kahn. Ya no es solo un preludio; ahora el destino de los reinos está en juego.Hablando de personajes, tenemos que mencionar al elefante (o más bien al actor de Hollywood) en la habitación: Karl Urban como Johnny Cage. Su llegada es un soplo de aire fresco y un bálsamo necesario tras la fría recepción de Cole Young en la primera parte, ese personaje inventado que no terminó de cuajar. Urban aporta ese carisma cínico y ególatra que Cage necesita. Ahora, es imposible hablar de esto sin sumergirnos en el legado titánico del videojuego. Mortal Kombat no solo fue un juego; fue un cambio de paradigma cultural en 1992. Fue el título que obligó a la industria a crear el sistema de clasificación por edades (ESRB) porque los padres no sabían qué hacer con esos ninjas que se arrancaban la columna vertebral en gloriosa baja resolución. Desde aquel primer gabinete de arcade hasta el realismo fotográfico de Mortal Kombat 1 (2023), la franquicia ha construido una mitología que rivaliza con cualquier épica de fantasía oscura, con dioses caídos, reinos paralelos y una tragedia familiar que atraviesa siglos.Y claro, ese éxito tenía que saltar al cine.En los 90, tuvimos la versión de 1995 de Paul W.S. Anderson, que a pesar de las limitaciones técnicas de la época, capturó una atmósfera mística y aventurera que muchos todavía guardan en un altar. Luego vino Mortal Kombat: Aniquilación en el ‘97, una cinta que, personalmente prefiero no recordar. Pero eso sí, esa primera película del ‘95 forma parte de nuestra nostalgia y es la razón por la que hoy, en 2026, seguimos emocionándonos cuando vemos a Scorpion en pantalla grande.Pero antes de entrar en faena, una aclaración necesaria sobre la escala de evaluación. En Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas somos sofisticados, pero no ingenuos. Si digo que esta película es, por ejemplo, un 8 o un 9, no la estoy comparando con La Lista de Schindler o el Michael de Fuqua. Las películas se evalúan en su propia liga. Estamos ante un cine de género, visceral y específico para un público que busca espectáculo y fidelidad al juego. No es Casablanca, es Mortal Kombat, y se juzga por cuánta adrenalina te inyecta en las venas.Cinéfilos Hierberos, prepárense. Vamos a analizar a profundidad Mortal Kombat 2.O, Como diría Scorpion: ¡GET OVER HERE!Comenzamos…Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten!#MortalKombat⁠ ⁠#Scorpion⁠ ⁠#JhonnyCage⁠ ⁠#Cine

Simon McQuoid Mortal Kombat (2021) was an unexpected hit and good time.  The fans wanted a few things changed but It's safe to say it was far and above what was expected after the 1997 disaster.   Mortal Kombat II gave fans more of what they wanted but at the sacrifice of the little story that made the 2021 film so unexpectedly great.  MKII has more Kano, some excellent Johnny Cage, and more fights between destined characters (and a few deaths!).

This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey revisit one of the most iconic video game adaptations of the 1990s, Mortal Kombat (1995).
