Review: Confusion and complexity shape third-person game
Video game developer Remedy Entertainment loves a good pastiche.

Neil Marshall’s “Hellboy” (2019) has the aesthetic sensibility of a Hot Topic: It’s cheap, insincere and reminds you of other places you’d rather be and other films you’d rather see.
“Us” is at once familiar and foreign — it’s a traditional slasher turned and twisted into something radical and bizarre.
“Alita: Battle Angel” wears its influences proudly — maybe a little too proudly.
On this week’s Deja View, host Jake Leary sits down with Aidan Lentz to parse out whether “Alita: Battle Angel” is more than robot-rending action.
Every month, a slew of sci-fi thrillers, rom-coms and documentaries dribble out on Netflix — most with little or no fanfare.
Based on the short story “Gräns” by John Ajvide Lindqvist, “Border” has all the unrestrained pretension of Oscar bait: a sluggish pace, an inscrutable fantasy element and a relentless melancholy.
“SEND ME FREE JUUL PODS FOR LIFE, BITCH!!”
“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” follows the same dark path as “Riverdale”: taking classic Archie characters and giving them a grim makeover.
One frightful night was enough; like its ghoulish mascot, the “Halloween” franchise should have been killed long ago.
Insomniac’s version of Spider-Man is not only the best video-game adaptation of the scarlet web-slinger but the best onscreen take on the character.
It’s a film that’s full of wonderful, creepy ideas that are either left half-explored or take ridiculous turns in the third act.
