ON THE DARKSIDE

A high-concept action-horror flick that’s been kicking around for a while now has been scooped up by writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh, the guy who made the Punisher seem more interested in falsifying adultery than blowing the shit out of people. Hensleigh is the most recent helmer to take over New Line’s Darksiders, about a group of … Continue reading

And the mobile deceased gnawing on the delicious raw flesh of the living.  And … Continue reading
