But no Cinderella story has been told quite like Emilie Blichfeldt’s Norwegian horror film, The Ugly Stepsister (2025). The Ugly Stepsister […]
It is hard to have lived your life without seeing a piece of media that has, in some way, been adapted or inspired by a Jane Austen novel. Without Austen’s revolutionary influence, coming-of-age films like Frances Ha (2012), introspective narratives like Perfect Days (2023), and timeless classics like The Sound of Music (1965) would simply […]

It proved that if done right, video games can be an apt format to adapt to film and television after decades of failed attempts with countless properties. Not only was The Last of Us done right, but it became a prestige destination television […]
