Screen Rant Review: Cabin in the Woods
Despite releasing over a decade ago, the depth of The Cabin in the Woods’ horror satire and ending is still drawing discussion.

L’OFFICEL: How ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer Defined the Teen Vampire Romance Genre
This month Buffy the Vampire Slayer celebrates its 25th anniversary. Throughout its run from 1997 to 2003, the series saw incredible critical acclaim, with multiple accolades. Sarah Michelle Gellar, who plays vampire slayer Buffy Summers, is credited with changing the way female protagonists were viewed on television and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work on the show.
