Despite a 54% drop in viewing in its third week on Netflix, The Watcher still managed to top Nielsen’s U.S. streaming chart once again for the week of October 24 to 30. The Ryan Murphy-produced thriller collected an additional 1.2B viewing minutes.

Premiering in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, Nikyatu Jusu’s unsettling “Nanny” is a supernatural thriller that weaves together strands of domestic drama and West African folklore.

Director Guillermo del Toro is known for the intense originality of his work, on vivid display in Oscar-winning films from Pan’s Labyrinth to The Shape of Water. For his latest, the Netflix animated film Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, he again set a high bar for himself.

Millions of people across the UK claiming disability benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Social Security Scotland are set for a bumper payment boost next year following the Autumn Statement.

The “Predator” franchise recently got a substantial creative shot in the arm with the Hulu original “Prey.” And surely 20th Century Studios is hoping they can do the same for the “Alien” franchise following the underwhelming response to “Alien: Covenant,” which left the series floating in space.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has shared a new update for people in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) waiting to transfer to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

It’s only been a few short weeks since the release of “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities” on Netflix. However, over that time, the anthology horror series has already earned its fair share of viewers and love from the genre film community.

In the early 2010s, Guillermo del Toro and Universal planned an R-rated adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft‘s “In The Mountains Of Madness.” And it was an ambitious project for del Toro, with a $150 million budget and Industrial Light And Magic on board for VFX.

Some people may be slow to go to cinemas as the pandemic eases, but here in Los Angeles, they’re certainly not sluggish to head to awards season events, and Netflix took over the old Amoeba Records space on Sunset Blvd Monday (aka The Lighthouse Artspace) for their very swanky, in-person concert Playlist event which touted a lineup of platinum composers and music supervisors working on their projects.

How does a filmmaker reinvent stories told time and time again? It’s a challenge Guillermo del Toro undertakes with the legendary character Pinocchio.
