In 2018, four of Hollywood’s best gals made a lighthearted film about old friends that stayed connected through a book club with a splash of their own shenanigans. Several years on, Universal Pictures has brought them back to see what the next chapter can bring for the long-standing friends. As
Horror films were never quite the same after “The Evil Dead” first hit cinemas back in 1981. Whether intended or not, the blend of horror and uneasy humour started a movement that has spanned three films, a tv series, and a stand-alone reboot in 2013. The latter was driven by
Everyone’s favourite plumber is jumping out of the pipes and onto the big screen.
