The soulless, insipid ‘Kraven The Hunter’ wastes a decent Aaron Taylor-Johnson performance in another pointless, poorly made villain origin story.

A massive cloud of radioactive fallout is headed toward Melbourne, Australia, all but ensuring the last known survivors of the human race are doomed. Set in the aftermath of a nuclear conflict that’s wiped out the rest of the planet, and based on the 1957 novel by British author Nevil Shute, On the Beach sees Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Anthony Perkins, and Fred Astaire simply try to go about their everyday lives for as long as they can.

While Pamela Anderson gives a raw, poignant performance that’s likely the best of her career, ‘The Last Showgirl’ treads well-worn narrative ground.

Director Leigh Whannell creates genuine terror and suspense in ‘Wolf Man’ – until the monster shows up and the thin story follows a predictable path.

Everyone knows 'The Twilight Zone' changed genre television forever, but a strange, short-lived competitor also left an indelible mark on sci-fi and horror.
