In “Avatar: The Way of Water,” Jack Champion stands out as Spider — and not simply because he’s frequently the only human in scenes with the computer-generated, nine-foot-tall Na’vi. Spider is a remnant of the Sky People left behind on Pandora after the events of the original film. Raised by Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and, rather reluctantly, his wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) alongside their own children, Spider eventually faces a test of loyalty — side with his family or his species — a difficult decision that Champion skillfully depicts. It’s his biggest role to date in an acting career that began eight years ago, when he was a pre-teen, with a small part in “American Genius.” Next up, he’ll appear in horror sequel “Scream 6,” and with Pedro Pascal in “Freaky Tales,” from “Captain Marvel” directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

The horror comics renaissance of recent times seemingly continues with the arrival of Anno Dracula by Kim Newman. Kim Newman should need no introduction to horror fans, being a critically acclaimed writer and critic, and the fact he is not just licensing but also writing his ‘baby’ obviously bodes very well indeed. This new series, together with some new Anno Dracula novels out this year too, will expand his fictional universe nicely.
Anno Dracula began life as an early 1990′s novel, with Kim Newman doing the Alan Moore-esque thing of intertwining a fictional narrative with real historical personalities, creating a different yet familiar alternate timeline. This is a world split, between humans who have chosen to ‘turn’, and those who have chosen not to. The initial book saw Jack the Ripper killing prostitutes, as per our real world history,...

A werewolf interrupts dinner for an eclectic cast of characters at a Montana diner in J. Spencer’s new short film, End of the Road. Featuring a massive lycanthrope that goes for the jugular, End of the Road is an unsettling take on the full moon transformation, and we have it for Daily Dead readers to enjoy.
“This character-focused flick—a project born from grassroots effort and an intense love of the genre—follows a small-town waitress (Tatum Langton of Grey’s Anatomy and others) whose kindness toward a mysterious drifter (American Genius and Revelation Trail‘s Daniel Van Thomas) unleashes a vicious and calculative werewolf upon the colorful population of a backwoods diner.”
