Jake Busey has taken on aliens in the likes of The Predator and Starship Troopers, vampires in From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, and was even a rampaging ghost himself in The Frighteners. With credits like The Reckoning, The Lair, and Duchess, we’ve also seen Charlotte Kirk face off with a variety of threats. But Busey and Kirk are set to take on their biggest challenge yet in the upcoming horror comedy CATnip: feral killer cats.

Coming Soon reports that CATnip is scheduled to begin filming in Los Angeles next month. Written and directed by Nyle Cavazos Garcia, who is also producing the film with Rob Margolies and Keli Price, CATnip is described as “Gremlins for grown-ups.”

Here’s the synopsis: The Betancourt family has just moved from the projects of New York City to an up-and-coming neighborhood in San Pedro, CA, hoping for a fresh start and better life. Immediately, they feel like outcasts and are not welcomed by their eclectic neighbors as they had hoped. A thick, dangerous fog from LA Harbor forces everybody to stay indoors on Christmas Eve, and things go quickly from bad to worse when the apartment building is overtaken by a horde of blood-thirsty, feral killer cats. Now the family and their new neighbors must band together and overcome their differences if they are going to fend off the cats and survive until Christmas morning.

Busey and Kirk are joined in the cast by Geoffrey Arend (500 Days of Summer), Lorelei Linklater (American Trash), Kylee Levien (Roswell Delirium), Lord Kraven (S.W.A.T.), and Christian Calloway (Destroy All Neighbors), plus a pair who have experiencing working on major horror franchises: Brooke Bundy, who played an unhelpful mother in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, and Tiffany Helm, who met a bad end in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.

It’s time to take NBC‘s comedic sitcom St. Denis Medical off life support because the show is getting a Season 2 renewal! Fans of the series created by Superstore and American Auto’s Eric Ledgin and Justin Spitzer have been stuck in the waiting room while hoping for more episodes of the laugh-out-loud comedy, and today, news outlets are ready to give them the good news!

St. Denis Medical takes place in an underfunded, understaffed Pregon hospital for a mockumentary-style sitcom. The show places audiences in the scrubs of determined doctors and nurses who work tirelessly to treat patients while holding tightly to their tolerance and humanity. Anyone who’s ever worked in the medical field or experienced an extended hospital stay knows how stressful a hospital environment can be, and the staff of St. Denis Medical do their best to keep the unpredictable environment safe, light-hearted, and functioning.

Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids, Blended, The Goldbergs), David Alan Grier (In Living Color, Blankman, Tales From the Hood), Allison Tolman (Krampus, The Gift, Why Women Kill), Josh Lawson (Mortal Kombat, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, The Little Death), Kahyun Kim (Cocaine Bear, American Gods, Freaky Friday), Mekki Leeper (Jury Duty, Mag Mell, Fintech), and Kaliko Kauahi (Ghosts, Superstore, American Auto) lead the series, while a rotating cast of patients test their every nerve.

The series airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT following the rebooted Night Court, currently in its third season, and streams the next day on Peacock.

Since the November 12 premiere of St. Denis Medical, the show’s popularity skyrocketed, making it NBC’s best show of the broadcast season in the 18-49 demographic. While the first episode got a quiet launch, positive word of mouth quickly spread, netting the show an 82% increase in viewership with episode 2.

As someone with an extensive medical history, I’m surprised I haven’t heard about St. Denis Medical until now. Hospitals aren’t typically a place I associate with humor. Then again, Scrubs was fun, and I remember how a handful of episodes gave us some of television’s most rewarding and dramatic moments in the early 2000s. Are you looking forward to St. Denis Medical Season 2? Let us know in the comments section below.

Robert De Niro pulls double duty for his latest crime drama in the trailer for The Alto Knights, a new film from director Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Bugsy, Sleepers) focusing on the story of the real-life gangsters Vito Genovese (De Niro) and Frank Costello (De Niro).

Goodfellas screenwriter and Oscar nominee Nicholas Pileggi wrote the script for The Alto Knights, which stars Robert De Niro as Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, two Italian Americans who head two New York-based crime families in the mid-20th century. Reports about their reign show that in 1957, Genovese tried to assassinate Costello, resulting in Costello exiting the mob to recover from his injuries and distance himself from “the life.”

In the Alto Knights trailer, Vito Genovese does not approve of how Frank Costello runs his family. Genovese says Costello is fooling himself if he thinks he can present himself as an upstanding citizen while running a shadowy organization behind closed doors. Costello’s approach to crime is bad for business, and Genovese wants Costello out of the picture. “You can’t have it both ways. You’re either in or you’re out,” Genovese warns Costello in the trailer. After Costello survives the attempted assassination, he vows to bring the mob down, one disloyal gangster at a time.

Debra Messing (Will & Grace, Hollywood Ending), Cosmo Jarvis (Lady Macbeth, Raised by Wolves), and Kathrine Narducci (Euphoria, Godfather of Harlem) co-star in The Alto Knights, with Irwin Winkler producing alongside Barry Levinson, Jason Sosnoff, Charles Winkler, and David Winkler. Mike Drake executive produces.

Are you familiar with the story of Vito Genovese and Frank Costello? What do you think about De Niro playing both gangsters for Levinson’s latest film? The Alto Knights trailer gives Goodfellas vibes, though, after a while, many of these mobster movies start looking the same. Thankfully, The Alto Knights includes a fantastic cast, and the story’s real-life elements make this tale of crime and backstabbing more interesting than most. To think these two gangsters once went to war on the streets of New York is frightening, and I must admit I’m interested to see how it all plays out.

The Alto Knights is coming soon to theaters.

The 1987 horror classic Hellraiser (watch it HERE) is set to return to theatres next month, as Fathom Events will be bringing a newly remastered 4K version of the film to the big screen on February 5th and 6th – and these screenings will also include an archival interview called Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser, where the iconic actor discusses his first appearance as Pinhead. To see if Hellraiser will be showing in your area, head over to the Fathom Events link.

Written and directed by Clive Barker (based on his own novella The Hellbound Heart), Hellraiser has the following synopsis: Sexual deviant Frank inadvertently opens a portal to hell when he tinkers with a box he bought while abroad. The act unleashes gruesome beings called Cenobites, who tear Frank’s body apart. When Frank’s brother and his wife, Julia, move into Frank’s old house, they accidentally bring what is left of Frank back to life. Frank then convinces Julia, his one-time lover, to lure men back to the house so he can use their blood to reconstruct himself. Here’s the Fathom Events description: Go back to where it all started. Stephen King was once famously quoted as saying, “I have seen the future of horror… his name is Clive Barker.” That future was realized in 1987 with the release of Barker’s directorial debut Hellraiser. Based on his own novella The Hellbound Heart, Barker’s Hellraiser sees Larry (Andrew Robinson) and his wife Julia (Clare Higgins) move into their new home, unaware that something evil lurks beneath the floorboards of the dilapidated house – something that wants human blood… Introducing the world to the iconic Pinhead and his sadistic band of Cenobites, Hellraiser became an instant genre classic upon release and remains one of the most frighteningly original visions in horror. This release will feature the newly remastered 4K version of the film, as well as an archival interview Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser where the iconic actor discusses his first appearance as ‘Pinhead.’

The film stars Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Andrew Robinson, Sean Chapman, Robert Hines, Nicholas Vince, Simon Bamford, Grace Kirby, and Oliver Smith, with Doug Bradley as Pinhead.
