UPGRADE [Film Review]: Automated Vengeance.

Upgrade has been a must-see ever since it debuted at the 2018 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival and won the Midnighters Audience Award earlier this year. Written and directed by Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious: The Last Key), Upgrade takes place in a near future where society has become high-tech and completely dependable on artificial intelligence; …

Prometheus was and still is a bit of a trainwreck, but it is worth defending if it’s ever labeled as the bastard child of the Alien franchise. Alien is classic sci-fi horror, Aliens is the perfect sci-fi action sequel that everyone wanted, Alien 3 is the polarizing threequel that most seem to love to hate, …
