The latest leaked image of Bella Ramsey as Ellie in HBO’s The Last of Us gave fans a glimpse of what they can expect in Season 2. Apparently, the tattoo on her arm did not seem to impress the viewers because it looked far too different from that of the video game.

Canada, the home of winter, looks to have no shortage of snowy inns set against fairytale-like landscapes with piles and piles of the white, fluffy stuff.

That’s because Hallmark, long a major producer of Christmas TV movies, shoots a lot of holiday flicks in Canada, even if the plotlines are set south of the border. So do a lot of other U.S. producers for whom British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario offer real snow, iconic mountains and other varied wintry locations to keep American producers in furry parkas coming north with their cameras and Hollywood stars.

In fact, there’s more to budget-friendly production tricks than fake snow on these TV movie shoots, as humble Canada stands in small-town America strung with colorful lights. Shooting north of the border allows producers to tap generous tax breaks and currency savings, seasoned local actors and crews and ample studios and costume...

IMDb search results and the monolithic “critical consensus” can tell you what supposedly should come to mind when any given actor comes up in conversation. But every cinephile knows that for whatever reason performers become permanently linked to specific roles in our minds.

For single mom, Maggie O’Donnell (Ashley Williams), Christmas has always been a family occasion but this year, with her daughter Ellen away with her father for the holidays, Maggie’s facing her first Christmas alone.

Hulu has finally confirmed that Lifetime drama “UnReal” is moving to the streaming service for its fourth season. And here’s a twist: It’s debuting on Hulu today. And here’s another twist: This is, indeed, the series’ final season.

It’s a surprise move befitting “Everlasting,” the dating competition show-within-a-show that is the centerpiece of “UnReal.” Word of a deal between Hulu and series producer A+E Studios first leaked in May, but was never formally announced until today’s final reveal.

As part of the deal, “UnReal” will now be branded as a Hulu Original Series. Hulu already carries the off-net runs of the first three seasons of “UnReal,” which means the entire library — including all eight episodes of Season 4 — will be available on the service as of today.

“‘UnReal’ has captivated audiences on Hulu since season one, so when this opportunity came to us, we knew we couldn’t miss out,...

The fourth and final season of Lifetime’s UnReal is now available for streaming in its entirety on Hulu. As part of a new deal between Hulu and A+E Studios, the final installment joins the first three seasons of the Peabody Award-winning drama series from Sarah Gertrude Shapiro and Marti Noxon. Deadline reported in May that Lifetime had sold the fourth season to Hulu for a first run. Hulu had previously acquired the exclusive Svod rights to the show in 2016.

Season 4 follows Rachel (Shiri Appleby) and Quinn (Constance Zimmer) as they return to the set of Everlasting for an “All-Stars” themed season, which features former contestants and a new format. Co-creator Shapiro and showrunner Stacy Rukeyser both return for Season 4. New cast members include François Arnaud, Natalie Hall, Meagan Holder and Alejandro Muñoz. Zimmer returns as director for one episode, and Appleby directs two episodes, including the series finale.

“UnReal” fans got a special treat on Monday when Hulu made the entire fourth and final season of the former Lifetime drama available to stream with no warning.

As TheWrap previously reported, Hulu made a deal with “UnReal” producers A+E Studios to be the new home for the show’s fourth outing, which has now officially been confirmed as the show’s last.

Season 4 follows Rachel (Shiri Appleby) and Quinn (Constance Zimmer) as they return to the set of the dating show-within-a-show “Everlasting” for an “All Stars” themed season. With former contestants, and a new format, it is poised to be even more dramatic than ever.

Beginning today, July 16, Hulu is streaming the final eight episodes of UnREAL, which has been quietly cancelled after four seasons.

As previously rumored, Season 4 has moved to Hulu as part of a new deal struck between the streaming service and A+E Studios. There is no word yet if the episodes will eventually air on Lifetime.

The truncated swan song finds Rachel and Quinn returning to the set of Everlasting for an “All Stars”-themed season. New cast members include François Arnaud (Midnight, Texas), Natalie Hall (True Blood), Meagan Holder (Pitch) and newcomer Alejandro Muñoz.

Hollywood keeps trying to make dark fairy tales happen (Red Riding Hood/Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters), but after The Curse Of Sleeping Beauty, it might be time to give up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sucker for innocence lost. Who doesn’t love a good Christmas horror movie that transforms joy into fear? Granted, this adaptation of Sleeping Beauty is based on “Little Brier-Rose” by the Brothers Grimm, so deviousness is expected – but not to the degree Pearry Teo delivers. Disney’s whimsy long fades once Teo exposes the true horrors of a long-slumbering girl, yet this genre attempt struggles to find sinister definition, and might be droll enough to lull even the titular Beauty back to sleep.

Classic fairy tales often have dark themes that seem perfect for a horror movie adaptation. But for some reason they often miss the mark. When I first saw some of the images for The Curse of Sleeping Beauty I assumed that it was going to be a film that targets teenage girls as it’s main audience. Well it’s not that, but it is kind of a mess.

Directed by Perry Reginald Teo, The Curse of Sleeping Beauty follows Thomas Kaiser (Ethan Peck), a secluded artist who is haunted by the recurring dream of a sleeping woman. He learns that he has inherited a mansion, Kaiser Gardens, from his distant uncle. Thomas leaves the city after reading an unusually foreboding letter from his deceased uncle telling him that Kaiser Gardens has been in the family for centuries and that their bloodline serves as the protectors of the property.

If there’s one director whose films I will watch without hesitation or question, it’s Pearry Teo. In fact his filmic career is actually one that is key to mine. His second film, the 2009 fear flick Necromentia (which I still think out-Hellraiser’d Hellraiser itself), was one of the first films I ever reviewed professionally; and I’ve reviewed each and every one of his films since. Why? Because of the impact his twisted vision in Necromentia had on me and because no matter the story, no matter the budget, Teo always finds something interesting, admittedly often dark, to do with the subject matter.

The Curse of Sleeping Beauty is part horror, part dark fantasy, part supernatural love story, and part haunted house movie. A film that tries to fit so much into a brisk eighty-nine minutes could easily wind up being a mess, but Sleeping Beauty combines its various genres and subgenres into something that feels like a coherent whole. The Curse of Sleeping Beauty might not fit comfortably into any one genre, but I say if a film works, it works, and The Curse of Sleeping beauty works.

Hey there, creeps! I’ve been following the history of the new flick The Curse Of Sleeping Beauty from fright maestro Pearry Teo (Strange Blood) for quite some time now, so when I caught wind the flick was set to be released, I had to check it out post-haste… and I did! So here’s my review, followed by a recent jaw sesh I had with ol’ P.T. himself!

A few details have emerged for director Pearry Teo's (Necromentia) The Curse of Sleeping Beauty. This title was picked up by XLRator Media for a theatrical release, which takes place in mid-May.

From the official synopsis, Thomas (Ethan Peck) inherits an ancestral home. He has also inherited an ancient curse, which is sourced back to the crusades.

I was already pretty excited at the prospects for Pearry Teo's new movie - the image gallery for The Curse of Sleeping Beauty is nothing short of spectacular – and now that I've seen the trailer, I really can't wait.

A modern take on the classic story of sleeping beauty, Teo's version brings the classic tale into the present and throws in some macabre horror to spice things up.

The movie introduces Thomas, a young man who inherits a mansion from an uncle only to discover that the ancestral home and his entire family is plagued by a curse dating back to the Crusades.
