Alexandra Daddario has been a part of the film industry for many years now. While many have heard of her after she starred in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, she has been in several notable works since then.

Recently, Daddario spoke about this and addressed the rumors about her being untalented, calling them outrageous and bringing up her Emmy nomination.

On this note, here are three of her films that she should not have starred in and three that help showcase her talent.

At a Taylor Swift concert, her brother saw a fan in need of help and came to the rescue.

The Eras Tour continues to be a roaring success, attracting even the families of Taylor Swift’s haters to attend.

One fan’s nod to Taylor’s romance with Travis Kelce drew the ire of security.

It was Taylor’s brother, Austin Swift, who rode to the rescue of the fan. And yes, there’s video.

According to a video on TikTok, a diehard Taylor Swift fan was hoping to draw Travis Kelce’s eye in the VIP area. Travis had made a “surprise” appearance (if they can be considered that at this point) at Taylor’s show.

Taylor Swift might have started off as a country singer way back in 2005, but today the singer has garnered such an influence and fan following that many believe she even has the power to affect the US Presidential elections to some degree. While that might have quite worked out, there is no denying that the singer is one of the biggest names of her time.

Stars: Nikko Austen Smith, Manny Liotta, George Baron, Olivia Scott Welch, Ray Wise, Danielle Bisutti, Evee Bui, Glume Harlow, Jordyn Denning, Logan Miller | Written and Directed by George Baron

Writer/director/star George Baron was sixteen when he started filming The Blue Rose, two years later he had a finished feature film playing on the festival circuit and getting picked up for release. And not just any film, but, as you might guess from the title, a tribute to David Lynch that’s as bizarre as any of his own films.

It opens with a woman on stage planting a seed and watering it with what appears to be blood. A blue rose sprouts. Cut to three blue roses growing in a window box of a 1950s suburban home. Inside, Sophie dances around her immaculate kitchen making pies. The dance becomes a deadly one when her husband Harold enraged about something unknown punches her,...

We know that Marvel has recently acquired the rights to the X-Men, which means that the characters from Fox’s popular franchise are coming to the MCU sooner rather than later. And while the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine is going to serve as a light introduction of the Mutants into the MCU, we’re still waiting for an official introduction that will completely integrate the X-Men into the MCU. Marvel certainly has a tough job ahead of them. The X-Men has a long and quite successful cinematic history, as the fans are used to a certain standard, which is often different from what we usually see in the MCU.

And while the MCU is still keeping quiet about the future of the Mutants, fans are active online and are making or proposing fan castings of certain characters. Based on some recent fan art that has appeared on Instagram, the fans...

Exclusive: Paramount’s genre division Paramount Players has tapped Night Teeth and I See You filmmaker Adam Randall to direct the horror pic Curfew.

The former Blood List entry follows a rebellious teenage girl who is sent to stay with her grandmother in a sleepy town whose quirky traditions include a curfew banning anyone from going out at night. When the girl ventures out after dark she discovers the murky truth behind the town’s mysterious history.

Randall told us: “This is a fun monster movie that harks back to Amblin movies of yore. There is an intriguing conflict between the teenage girl and the older generations but it also has the thrills and action of a monster movie. It’s a great script.”

Script comes from Isa Mazzei (Cam). Jaki Bradley and Kevin Armento did previous revisions. Dick Grunert wrote the original spec that made it onto the 2017 Blood List.

With “Malignant,” James Wan reminds us that no matter how many billion-dollar mainstream movies he directs (two and counting), he’s still a super kooky horror auteur whose biggest influences are Ozploitation, Italian supernatural thrillers and good old-fashioned scuzz cinema.

Hot off the superhero blockbuster “Aquaman,” it seems as though Wan is eager to let off some steam. “Malignant” boasts exciting visual effects, but it’s a small-scale shocker seeking only an audience of envelope-pushing scary movie buffs. That gives the filmmaker the freedom to make the sort of ultraviolent thriller Lucio Fulci and Frank Henenlotter might have co-directed in the early 1980s if they had carte blanche and a blank check.

“Malignant” stars Annabelle Wallis (“Annabelle”) as Madison, a woman with visions of a bizarre serial killer named Gabriel with a penchant for slaughtering retired doctors. Madison wasn’t in a good place to begin with, having recently endured...

If you ever wondered what would happen if Walt Disney was also the Jigsaw Killer, then a) you are a very interesting person, and b) these “Escape Room” movies were made for you.

“Escape Room: Tournament of Champions,” the second film in Adam Robitel’s PG-13 horror franchise, solidifies the series’ mission statement to show off a deadly and insidiously complicated amusement park, where the theming is heavy-handed and all the attractions will kill you if you don’t interact with them exactly the way the designers intended.

These aren’t movies about protagonists undergoing a meaningful transformation. They are extended YouTube walkthroughs of the coolest places you’d never, ever want to go.

The original “Escape Room” saw a group of people drawn into a game constructed by the Minos Corporation. Each room they encountered had a different visual theme, and only by solving tricky clues could the heroes escape with their lives.

The trailer to the upcoming modern day adaptation and updated version of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Die in a Gunfight, is finally out and rocking on YouTube. The romantic crime movie which was acquired for distribution by LionsGate is Collin Schiffli's third film. It is a complete turn-around from his usual style and previous works that include the award winning directorial debut Animals, which won the director a special grand jury award at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival and was awarded best feature, best director, and best actor at The Midwest Independent Film Festival's BMAs in Chicago.

Die in a Gunfight has been through almost seven years of developmental journey after the script had been drafted and listed on the Black List 2010 edition as one of the most loved script yet to be produced. It was later revealed that Zac Efron, through his production company Ninjas Run-in' Wild,...

It’s a common misconception that women are only in horror films to scream. Not so – the genre has put women front and centre for decades, showing men a trick or two about conquering evil. In the terrifying new online seance chiller Host, a group of female friends are left to deal with a malevolent spirit, while the sole male cast member runs shrieking into the night. Here’s a collection of some of the best fright flicks featuring fantastic female ensemble casts. Ladies, your time is now!

We Summon The Darkness (2019)

Alexandra Daddario stars in this rollicking Satanic panic horror thriller, about a trio of female heavy metal fans who, during an after party in a secluded mansion, dabble in deviltry and literally raise Hell. At one point Daddario says to a man telling her to be careful, “You don’t think we can fend for ourselves?” You go girl!

The 2020 BloodList is here, and this year, it focuses on its Fresh Blood, which showcases unrepresented and undiscovered writers.

The projects, the topics ranging from zombie horror to hitchhiking to bio-tech, were chosen out of 457 submissions that were received via the BloodList’s free submission system. It even includes a script about that is inspired by the real-life unsolved mystery of Bella in the Wych Elm in the U.K.

The BloodList is an annual list of the best unproduced screenplays and pilots of the year. It was created in 2009 by Kailey Marsh, who is a manager and producer at Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Some of the most popular produced scripts that have appeared on the annual BloodList over the years include “Arrival,” “Birdbox,” “The Shallows,” The Autopsy of Jane Doe,” “Warm Bodies,” “We Summon the Darkness” and the upcoming “Wally’s Wonderland” starring Nicolas Cage. Last year, Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” topped the list.

Saban Films has revealed a new trailer for Mortal. This is the latest from filmmaker Andre Ovredal, who is coming fresh off of last year's hit adaptation of Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. With a cast led by Nat Wolff, it focuses on a young man who discovers he has God-like powers and is based on ancient Norwegian mythology. As we can see from the trailer, It looks to be a dark take on the whole superhuman origin tale.

The trailer opens with Nat Wolff recounting an altercation he had recently, which came with grave consequences. We then come to find that he has fiery powers that are equal parts dangerous and mysterious. Naturally, this leads to issues as government agencies want to get him under control before more damage can be done. There are some Chronicle vibes, only without the found footage angle, while also sort of...

Defining a successful movie release has been a fraught task lately due to the coronavirus pandemic, as premium theatrical films shift to digital debuts and massive blockbusters get kicked down the calendar.

Thanks to a few transparent scoreboards like the iTunes store, however, the industry can see plainly when a hit is a hit. Last weekend, the Saban Films release “The Silencing” made a lot of noise as the top rental in the country, at the attractive price point of $6.99. The film has amassed roughly $5 million in PVOD sales, insiders familiar with the tally told Variety.

The Nikolaj Coster-Waldau thriller also opened on 79 screens, taking in $53,205 according to box office data, making it the top grossing new film release with the highest per-screen average in the U.S. The modestly-budgeted action film follows a string of other Cinderella stories surrounding low-cost genre fare with popcorn appeal and a bold name...

A movie constantly finding itself among the Top 10 most-watched titles on Netflix is by no means an indicator of quality, with the list of features that have proved hugely popular with subscribers over the last few months running the entire spectrum from critically acclaimed favorites to arguably the worst of the year.

Extraction, Da 5 Bloods, The Old Guard and most recently, Project Power all found big success after becoming available on Netflix, and they fully deserved their spots after proving to be gripping and massively entertaining entries in their respective genres. However, The Last Days of American Crime and steamy Polish thriller 365 Dni also found themselves among the most popular movies that Netflix had to offer, and yet both of them hold the rare and unwanted distinction of a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Then there was Animal Crackers coming out of nowhere after spending years on the shelf,...

Netflix provides an opportunity for many overlooked films to get a new lease on life, from comedies to action movies. The latest picture to get the Netflix bump is We Summon the Darkness, which since being added to the platform a few days ago is already number 6 on the Top 10 most-watched films list. Why, then, is this title doing so well with subscribers?

Marc Meyers is behind the camera on We Summon the Darkness and his film is set at the tail-end of the 1980s heavy metal craze, focusing on Alexis, Beverley and Val, who meet up with some guys on the way to a concert. Shortly after, the female trio invite them back to a remote country house where things rapidly get out of control.

The cast includes the likes of Alexandra Daddario and Johnny Knoxville and the movie takes on the Satanic Panic of the era in ways...

With theaters still mostly closed due to Covid-19 and normal business not likely to resume anytime soon, Netflix‘s position within the movie industry has become much more important. This marks a big shift, as multiplex chains make top-down decisions on what films to screen, whereas Netflix can put almost anything up and watch how their audience responds to it. This has helped some smaller titles gain way more attention than they ordinarily would, with an excellent example being tense indie horror What Keeps You Alive.

The Canadian movie premiered at SXSW in March 2018 and was released on VOD the following August. We named it as one of the best horror pics of 2018, but it was quickly lost in a deluge of other content and was largely forgotten. Now, however, it’s zipping up the charts on Netflix, making its way onto the Top 10 most-watched films list, where the unknowable...

For the first time in a while, Netflix is adding no new titles today, so let’s instead take the opportunity to recap what’s gone up on the streaming site over the past week, from Saturday, August 1st to Saturday, August 8th. As that encompasses the first day of the month, there was a huge amount of fresh content added to Netflix’s library over this period. To be exact, there were 49 movies and 24 TV shows.

On the film side of things, this haul includes many an acclaimed or cult favorite flick from across the decades in all kinds of genres. The highlight is probably the entire Jurassic Park trilogy, which has proved popular with Netflix users as the first two entries have been hanging around the top 10 most-watched movies list almost ever since arriving. 80s classic fantasy flick The NeverEnding Story and its sequel were added on the 1st as well,...

Netflix added two new films today. The first is a Christian Bale-starring period piece set in the Ottoman Empire titled The Promise, the other an Alexandra Daddario-led horror movie called We Summon the Darkness. And here’s what you need to know in case you want to check either one, or even both of them out at some point this weekend.

The Promise first released in 2016. It’s directed by Terry George and based on a script he wrote alongside Robin Swicord. Aside from Bale, who plays a supporting character, the film also stars Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, Daniel Giménez Cacho, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Marwan Kenzari.

As mentioned, the movie is set during the final days of the Ottoman Empire. Location aside, it’s centered on a love triangle between a talented medical student, a famous American journalist and a young and beautiful woman. Where fans of...

The Netflix conveyer belt of content seems inexhaustible and keeping up with everything new on just this one streaming network is practically impossible. However, there’s a new movie being added today that’s certainly worth your time. I’m talking We Summon the Darkness, a seriously cool recent horror film that may well have passed you by.

Directed by My Friend Dahmer‘s Marc Meyers, We Summon the Darkness plunges deep into the world of late 1980s heavy metal. We follow Alexis, Val and Beverley, three young women on their way to a metal festival. Things take an ominous turn, however, when they encounter three guys and invite them back to their secluded country home for fun sexy times. From there? Well, I don’t want to spoil it, but it might not take the path you assume it will.

It sounds kinda trashy, but Meyers’ direction elevates it...
