Info started streaming in, with Deadline being the first to confirm on Monday, February 6, that Sony agreed to produce a sequel to the 90s slasher horror franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer. Neal H. Moritz will probably be tapped to return as the film's producer, and Leah McKendrick to scribe the screenplay. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who co-wrote Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder alongside Taika Waititi, will direct the sequel.

Major western allies had trouble processing the horrors of World War II. They saw legions of guards feeding the gas chambers while the ashes of human remains fell from chimney stacks like snow. It confused them. How could anyone willingly take part in this madness? What about reason and compassion? Couldn't they understand what they were doing? The reigning sentiment at that time was racist. There must've been something wrong with 'those people.' Forward thinkers realized that the truth was much more complex, and they decided that the public needed to be educated. That's why books like 1984 and Brave New World were published. The authors wanted to prevent the rise of another dictatorship. The Handmaid's Tale was meant to carry on that tradition. Margaret Atwood wanted to reach people, and like her predecessors, she understood that logic wouldn't be enough. When it comes to these matters, people don't think clearly. They feel. That's why fear was such a popular tactic. It's located in the deepest recesses of our psyche--the reptile brain, where hysteria and extremism take root. But Atwood didn't stop with fear. She created a symphony of emotionally driven imagery, designed to pull us into the experience. We didn't read about Offred; we became Offred, and in turn, we became a citizen of a fascist regime. We knew what their lives were like, what they felt, and how they thought. It was an immersive experience. The series saw what she had accomplished, and they built on it. They focused their energy on transporting the audience into June's perspective. We became her. We lived Gilead through her eyes--all of the drama, the pain, and desperation; the result was awe-inspiring. Most fans can point to a specific moment in the series that gave them pause--something so moving we had to take a step back and catch our breath. It's different for everyone, of course. It would be impossible to capture five years of gut-wrenching pathos. But that type of skill still deserves to be celebrated and honored. We should give the show's creators the recognition they deserve. That's what this list is for.

Netflix gets its viewers ready for the new identity of Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg in fresh photographs from the upcoming episodes of the series, awaiting new settings and, possibly new victims, just days before the premiere of the pilot episodes of the fourth season of You.

Imagine achieving your goal after working at it all your life. You have a wonderful family, a lovely home in a peaceful neighborhood, a successful and happy work, and the rest of your life to live. Imagine then that you start to notice individuals watching you one day. They aren't folks you know or have even seen before that particular time. But after that, you constantly run across them–standing, looking, and possibly waiting. It is an utterly unwanted interruption to the surface-level perfection you worked so hard for, which causes the discomfort and paranoia to start to take hold. How would you respond? What would you do?

Manifest season 4, part 1, was ultimately worth the two-year wait. Fans received all they were hoping for in the first episode of the final season of the television show, which was also its first season to be available only on Netflix.

Here is all the information we currently have about the forthcoming Manifest episodes.

Margaret Atwood is a fiction writer, but she's not concerned with fantasies and intricate lies. There's no expectation of a happily ever after in her work, no matter how badly the fans need it. She'll have us trudge through these bleak, horrific circumstances until we're begging for relief--something normal and wholesome, a world where things work out the way they're supposed to. We loved every second of it, but it's still torture. How could we possibly get a glimpse into these worlds and live without a positive resolution? She doesn't care. She's more concerned with realism and plausibility. If she creates a reality that's broken beyond the point of no return, she's not going to put it back together. She's going to show us the hard truth, make sure we understood, and eventually--if it makes sense, she might throw us a bone. Her original novel The Handmaid's Tale was the perfect example of this. We saw all goodness bled from the world, replaced with a dread nation cannibalizing itself to make a profit and maintain control. There was no escape, just pain and paranoia. It was a look into the daily life of a modern slave. Her existence was unbearable, and in many ways--though we relished every single word--the reading experience was just as difficult. We couldn't live without seeing Offred escape. She deserved freedom, justice, and relief, and we felt that succinctly. We also needed to see the fall of Gilead. Things needed to go back to the way they once were. But that's not how the world works. History has taught us that democracy is not the norm. It is rare and short-lived, and it requires constant maintenance to survive. Harsh dictatorships tend to last. So instead of getting the ending we desperately needed, we saw the most likely scenario. Gilead endured, and Offred's fate was left open. We learned that the cassette tapes she used to record the novel's contents were found in the safe house, but after that, things got a little blurry. She might have been raided and dragged back to the Commander's house. She could've been executed, or she may have escaped into Canada or the UK.

It's a wonder that the humanity has survived for so long. Nature is a harsh and unforgiving place, perpetually pulling us closer to death. The only way to live is to fight, keep moving, keep pushing, and always stay prepared. Even then there are surprises--a treasure trove of horrifying curiosities, predators, toxins, and things that go bump in the night. For most of our history, we'd last three, maybe four decades before succumbing to sickness and infection. A simple scratch could cut our lives short. But that was a long time ago, and things have changed quite a bit since then. We have modern infrastructure, water, and electric. Getting water is as simple as turning a knob. There's a vast network of retail stores where we can purchase everything we need. We don't have to work, and we don't have to worry. Everything has been simplified for us. It's hard to imagine going back to a time when we had to struggle just to have enough food to survive. In a sense, the post-apocalyptic genre was built to remind us how vulnerable we are. A tiny shift in the ecosystem, a single bug, or a rise in temperature could send all of that crashing down--and it likely will, because nature hasn't changed. It's just as terrifying as ever, and we've grown dependent on civilization. We don't know how to grow our own food or raise and slaughter animals. Many of us can barely use a stove. If all of those things were taken away from us, we'd die by the millions.We should learn how to take care of ourselves without grocery stores and electricity, and the best way to do that is to get scared. We have to see what can happen when we're all on our own, fighting for the bare necessities. That's why franchises like 'The Last of Us' are so important. They use horror to connect us to our roots. You just need a really good concept, something believable and frightening. Cordyceps was perfect. The fungus is a real-life entity, often used in food, as a medication, or as a health supplement. It implants itself in an insect, takes control of its brain, and eventually grows large enough to pierce through its exoskeleton. It'll lead an ant along like a puppet before bursting out of its head and taking root.

Beth Grant doesn't get enough credit for her work in Hollywood. She's usually on the sidelines, playing a shrewd old woman or a disapproving mother. When she does take center stage, it's only for a moment, long enough for us to laugh at her or hate her. She looks like she'd fit right in at a polygamist compound or a meth house, but she can act. She's capable of great moments of intensity, heartfelt affection, and deep sorrow. She can cry, shriek, beg, and laugh. She has true range.Her role as Carlotta Mayfair may be one of her greatest. Beth gave her all of the necessary elements--cruelty, determination, and independence, as well as a bit of the fanaticism she is so adept at. She could lie with ease, play the part of a sweet old woman, Deirdre's loving caretaker, or the doting sister. Her voice would change. She would get this small look of desperation or frailty, and all of a sudden we'd believe every single word that came out of her mouth--even after seeing the things she had done. It was uncanny.Carlotta was just as extraordinary as Beth--in many ways more so. She was capable and independent. She represented all of the family lore, their secrets, and the strength hidden inside the bloodline. Through her, we saw the mystery that was Mayfair. We glimpsed true strength and true power. Let's give her a moment of recognition and go over some of her many accomplishments.
