Back To Black: Jordan Peele Reveals Much Darker Ending For 'Get Out'
With Universal's Get Out currently tearing up review sites and the box office as one of the best horror films ever, it is certainly a thriller that gets under your skin and stays there. Cleverly balancing humor, horror, and the dark issue of racism, Get Out is almost too clever for its own good. The film is held up by its truly bizarre final act, but with a great pay-off that will have you thinking about #GetOut for a long time to come.

I Bet You 'Saw' That One Coming: Tobin Bell Is Officially Back For 'Saw: Legacy'
I hope you've cleaned the bathroom, because it looks like the Saw films are getting ready to lock us back in there for another round with Billy the puppet. Michael and Peter Spierig are taking the final out of The Final Chapter, as the hotly anticipated #SawLegacy aims to carve a new piece of the puzzle, seemingly ditching the seventh film's ambiguous ending and starting afresh.

There's No Place Like Home: 10 Films Like 'Get Out' To Watch Next
Horror fans rejoice, because the trend of gritty slashers and thinking-man's thrillers is continuing well into 2017. #JordanPeele's radical racial redefinition is inviting audiences into cinemas instead of telling them to "GET OUT."

Scream Teens: Ranking The Best Characters From Wes Craven's Scream Franchise
On December 20, 1996, Wes Craven's slasher reinvention Scream opened to mixed success. 20 years later, the original has gone on to be a cult favorite, while the three sequel films spanned the next 15 years as we kept coming back for more of the gore -- but the story doesn't end there. MTV then picked up its own TV series of the idea in 2015, which continues with a third season in 2017. That is two decades of body counts and filleted actors to wade through!
