The Walking Dead Season Six Finale: Really Now, Who Died? Let’s Examine

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

The fine people over at The Walking Dead really know how to keep us glued to the AMC phenomena that has taken lovers of the zombie genre for a wild ride over the course of seven years. However, The Walking Dead season six took us on the most nerve-wracking anxiety trip in the history of the series. From start to finish the sixth season, where you can buy here, was an emotional roller-coaster that curved and threw us upside-down when we didn’t expect it all. That season finale though, for die-hard fans it hit every single feel in our bodies that can easily be compared to the five stages of grief.

  • Denial- Nope. They did not just leave me that cliffhanger. Where’s the rest of the show?!
  • Anger- MOTH#$F&^*K^*!!!!!!!!
  • Bargaining- Repeatedly sending tweets to Robert Kirkman offering him my secret gravy recipe for answers or clues. My offer still stands Kirkman.
  • Depression- Realizing that there will be no answers for at least six months
  • Acceptance- Grabs my Walking Dead Compendium and just shuts the hell up for the next few months.

I’ll just have to sit in my Jesus Corner.

While we have to accept the fact these next two months of torture, the nagging question still remains: “Who met their fate with Lucille?” Fans have speculated all the way through from the infamous audio leakage, to mathematical equations counting patterns through Negan’s nightmare nursery rhyme and the circle of death. All for one answer. Well, I sure don’t have a guaranteed conclusion, much like the rest of you. However, after breaking it down with “The Walking Dead Science Formula”, I believe I may have a pretty damn good educated guess. Let’s look at each potential victim one at a time and rank their compatibility with Lucille on a simple scale from 1-5; 1 being lowest and 5 being highest.

Rick

Although some would argue a change in leadership would be a good idea for the group, I just don’t think it’s his time yet. Believing that Rick is bulletproof in the apocalypse is of course just silly. Even with a new-found affair with Michonne, remember- love equals sorrow in this universe, nobody in the group is quite up to the task at this point in the story to take full on charge the way Grimes handles things. It just wouldn’t make for a good story. Shocking? Yes. However unlikely.

Lucille Compatibility- 2

Carl

The Walking Dead has shown us its huge set of balls when it comes to killing children. If Negan were to punish Rick in the worst way, this would be it. Now, I’m going to refer back to Comic Negan for a split second. During those twelve minutes of terrifying monologue from AMC Negan, it was pretty spot on from his comic counterpart; outfit and all. Giving me the impression his character won’t change much for the series unlike what they had done with The Governor. Negan refrains from harming women and children if necessary. With a variety of choices in the circle of death, highly doubt it will be Carl.

Lucille Compatibility- 1

 

Rosita

Could it be Rosita? Well, as stated Negan won’t harm a lady if he can help it, so she has that going for her. There is also a lot more room for development for this character, and although she had a lot more screen time in showing off her strong attributes in season six, taking her away now wouldn’t make much sense.

Lucille Compatibility- 1

This Horror Film Just Derailed a Record Held by ‘Train to Busan’

Published

on

The South Korean supernatural horror film Exhuma is generating buzz. The star-studded movie is setting records, including the derailment of the country’s former top-grosser, Train to Busan.

Movie success in South Korea is measured by “moviegoers” instead of box office returns, and of this writing, it has garnered over 10 million of them which surpasses the 2016 favorite Train to Busan.

India’s current events publication, Outlook reports, “Train to Busan previously held the record with 11,567,816 viewers, but ‘Exhuma’ has now achieved 11,569,310 viewers, marking a significant feat.”

“What’s also interesting to note is that the film achieved the impressive feat of reaching 7 million moviegoers in less than 16 days of its release, surpassing the milestone four days quicker than 12.12: The Day, which held the title of South Korea’s top-grossing box office hit in 2023.”

Exhuma

Exhuma’s plot isn’t exactly original; a curse is unleashed upon the characters, but people seem to love this trope, and dethroning Train to Busan is no small feat so there has to be some merit to the movie. Here’s the logline: “The process of excavating an ominous grave unleashes dreadful consequences buried underneath.”

It also stars some of East Asia’s biggest stars, including Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi, Ma Dong-seok, Kim Su-an, Choi Woo-shik, Ahn So-hee and Kim Eui-sung.

Exhuma

Putting it in Western monetary terms, Exhuma has raked in over $91 million at the worldwide box office since its February 22 release, which is almost as much as Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has earned to date.

Exhuma was released in limited theaters in the United States on March 22. No word yet on when it will make its digital debut.

Watch ‘Immaculate’ At Home Right Now

Published

on

Just when we thought 2024 was going to be a horror movie wasteland, we got a few good ones in succession, Late Night With the Devil and Immaculate. The former will be available on Shudder starting April 19, the latter just had a surprise drop on digital ($19.99) today and will be getting physical on June 11.

The film stars Sydney Sweeney fresh off her success in the rom-com Anyone but You. In Immaculate, she plays a young nun named Cecilia, who travels to Italy to serve in a convent. Once there, she slowly unravels a mystery about the holy place and what role she plays in their methods.

Thanks to word of mouth and some favorable reviews, the movie has earned over $15 million domestically. Sweeney, who also produces, has waited a decade to get the film made. She purchased the rights to the screenplay, reworked it, and made the film we see today.

The movie’s controversial final scene wasn’t in the original screenplay, director Michael Mohan added it later and said, “It is my proudest directorial moment because it is exactly how I pictured it. “

Whether you go out to see it while it’s still in theaters or rent it from the convenience of your couch, let us know what you think of Immaculate and the controversy surrounding it.

Politician Spooked By ‘First Omen’ Promo Mailer Calls Police

Published

on

Incredibly, what some people thought they would get with an Omen prequel turned out to be better than anticipated. Maybe it’s partly due to a good PR campaign. Maybe not. At least it wasn’t for a pro-choice Missouri politician and film blogger Amanda Taylor who received a suspicious mailer from the studio ahead of The First Omen’s theatrical release.

Taylor, a Democrat running for Missouri’s House of Representatives, must be on Disney’s PR list because she received some eerie promo merch from the studio to publicize The First Omen, a direct prequel to the 1975 original. Usually, a good mailer is supposed to pique your interest in a film not send you running to the phone to call the police. 

According to THR, Taylor opened the package and inside were disturbing children’s drawings related to the film that freaked her out. It’s understandable; being a female politician against abortion it’s no telling what kind of threatening hate mail you’re going to get or what might be construed as a threat. 

“I was freaking out. My husband touched it, so I’m screaming at him to wash his hands,” Taylor told THR.

Marshall Weinbaum, who does Disney’s public relations campaigns says he got the idea for the cryptic letters because in the movie, “there are these creepy drawings of little girls with their faces crossed out, so I got this idea to print them out and mail them to the press.”

The studio, maybe realizing the idea wasn’t their best move, sent out a follow-up letter explaining that it was all in good fun to promote The First Omen. “Most people had fun with it,” adds Weinbaum.

While we can understand her initial shock and concern being a politician running on a controversial ticket, we have to wonder as a film enthusiast, why she wouldn’t recognize a crazy PR stunt. 

Perhaps in this day and age, you can’t be too careful.
