Well, this news is truly horrifying, and not in a fun, chainsaw-slingin’ way. Starz has announced that the April 29 season three finale of Ash vs. Evil Dead will also be the series finale, because the crazy, gory, cult-beloved show will not be returning for a fourth season.
After last week’s “let’s check in where we left off” season premiere, the action explodes forward in episode two, “IFF.” Thanks to a high-speed space chase and the wonders of Martian power armor, The Expanse’s two most prominent Earthers are finally about to come together for the first time, a meeting fans have been…
Usually we title these kinds of guides “everything you need to know about XYZ show.” But HBO’s Westworld isn’t easily summed up or explained. A huge part of its appeal is that it’s so enigmatic, dropping clues and teasing out mysteries as its story builds. To fully appreciate season two, it’d be best to watch season…
Remember when Tippi Hedren made everyone think a flock of birds was the scariest way to meet death from above? Ain’t nothing compared to a menacing posse of killer drones, as seen in the upcoming movie Hover. Duck for cover with the scifi thriller’s poster and the trailer, debuting right here on io9.
Netflix’s reimagining of Lost in Space debuted last week, the latest in a very long line of classic scifi TV shows that have either been rebooted (sometimes more than once) and/or made into feature films. But there are still a few lesser-known properties, untouched since the 1960s and ’70s, floating out there in the…
Since 1980, hockey-masked slasher Jason Voorhees has starred in 12 movies, including the Friday the 13th remake, the one set in space, and that one where he fought Freddy Krueger. Friday the 13th: Part 13 certainly has a catchy ring to it, but the reality is that the proposed sequel has been in struggle mode for…
As season three of The Expanse begins, tensions between Earth and Mars have finally exploded into all-out war—while the Belt lurks in the shadows, plotting its own plan of attack. Meanwhile, aboard the Rocinante, the battles are all deeply personal, and some huge changes are coming.
Up until a few weeks ago, John Krasinski was best-known as that dude who starred on the American version of The Office. That all changed with the success of horror sensation A Quiet Place, which he directed, co-wrote, and also stars in. Now, we know the filmmaker will be moving from horror to scifi for his next…
It’s been a year since The Expanse’s tense season two finale, and we are deliriously excited for the season three premiere tonight on Syfy. You should be, too. The scifi series is strong on every front: a thrilling story equally packed with political intrigue and tons of space action; fascinating and well-written…
The first trailer for The Meg, Jason Statham’s awesomely silly-looking summer action movie about the sudden appearance of a modern-day megalodon, has just arrived—and at long last, it looks like we have a worthy, stupendously toothy successor to 1999's Deep Blue Sea.
When we first heard that Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell)—the crass yet beloved star of Ash vs. Evil Dead and all its preceding films—was going to meet his teenaged daughter in the third season of the Starz show, we were skeptical. We need not have worried; turns out the potentially ruinous twist has fueled the season’s…
The X-Files’ 11th season may very well be the show’s last, which means the frustrating, awful “My Struggle IV” could be its ultimate ending. We wish things had turned out differently for Scully and Mulder, but it wouldn’t be the first time a stellar scifi show ended with a deeply disappointing finale. Here are three…
Hyperlight opens with a disoriented astronaut in crisis mode, trying to reconnect with both her ship and her mission partner—who also happens to be her beloved life partner. Once the pair arrives back onboard, something seems... oddly and dangerously off.
Jurassic Park would not have been the same without Jeff Goldblum’s iconic performance as Dr. Ian Malcolm, chaos theory advocate and black leather enthusiast. But though Malcolm’s a character from the pages of Michael Crichton’s source novel, he almost didn’t make it into the film.
Stanley Kubrick’s influential classic 2001: A Space Odyssey turns 50 this week. One of its most enduring qualities is how open to interpretation it is—over the years, the enigmatic film has inspired some fascinating (and/or delightfully batshit crazy) theories about what it all means. This is exactly what the director…
This month brings a deluge of new books, including the latest from genre titan John Scalzi, as well as tales involving dark magic in post-apocalyptic America, a very high-stakes intergalactic talent competition, and ex-con construction workers trying to avoid getting murdered on Mars. Read on!
Usually, movies and TV shows paint the Devil with rather broad strokes. He might be charming, but make no mistake: He’s invariably there to cause pain, snatch souls, impregnate housewives, challenge violinists and guitarists to musical duels, etc. But every once in awhile... Satan can be a pretty awesome guy.
The third season of Syfy’s horror anthology Channel Zero wrapped up last night, bringing a cathartic end to the wild ride that was Butcher’s Block. The show’s most artistically ambitious season to date was also its most challenging, with surreal elements weaving through its plot and its visuals. It was all very …
Michael Mizrachi’s One Day Love is really more of a music video (the upbeat song is from a children’s music album by Barak Feldman, featuring Daniella Boss), but it’s also a lovely little scifi short about a pint-sized astronaut who dreams of exploring new planets and other strange wonders of outer space.
