While most of the superhero fans are already privy to Marvel and DC movies and TV shows, there is another comic publisher that has tons of great comics that have been adapted into iconic movies and TV shows. If you still don’t know which comic book publisher we are talking about then let us tell you it is the Dark Horse Comics publications which published several comic books on which great movies and TV shows like The Mask and The Umbrella Academy are based. So, we thought of compiling a list of the 10 best movies and TV shows based on the Dark Horse Comics.

Do you want to play a game? That creepy question from the “Saw” franchise helped distinguish the films as one of the most successful — and fun — horror brands in the history of the U.S. box office. America loved the “Saw” flicks, but how did film critics respond? Scroll through our photos above that highlights all of the “Saw” movies ranked worst to best, according to their Metacritic scores. The ninth film, a spin-off titled “Spiral: From the Book of Saw,” was ultimately reviewed rather favorably when it debuted during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Where to watch the “Saw” movies: As of October 2021, the first eight horror flicks are available to stream for free on Peacock. “Spiral” is available to rent on demand.

Lionsgate’s “Spiral” was released in theaters in May 2021, seven months later than originally planned due to the worldwide events.

A month after the release of the trailer for “Spiral: From the Book of Saw,” rapper 21 Savage, who serves as executive producer of the film’s soundtrack, has dropped a music video for the song “Spiral.” (See behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot below.)

The film, which opens in over 2,000 theaters on May 14, stars Chris Rock (who’s also executive producer), Samuel L. Jackson, Max Minghella and Marisol Nichols.

The song “Spiral” was produced by Slaughter Gang’s Kid Hazel and marks 21 Savage’s first new release since “Savage Mode II” with Metro Boomin in Oct. 2020. The soundtrack album, meanwhile, is being released by Slaughter Gang/Epic Records. Composer Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) did the score.

The video for “Spiral” was shot in the Saw escape room in Las Vegas and intercuts footage from the movie. Savage and the music figure prominently in the Lionsgate movie and campaigns to promote its theatrical run.

Lionsgate has released the first full-length trailer for Spiral: From the Book of Saw, the latest film in the Saw franchise, starring Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. Originally scheduled to be released last spring, the horror movie was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and will now be released May 14th, 2021 in theaters.

Spiral follows Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Rock), his police veteran father (Jackson), and Zeke’s rookie partner William Schenk (Max Minghella) as they investigate a series of murders that are eerily reminiscent of the Jigsaw Killer’s grisly crimes.

Lionsgate has released the official trailer for the ninth installment of the “Saw” franchise, “Spiral: From the Book of Saw,” which will release theatrically on May 14.

The film follows an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), his son Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Chris Rock) and Zeke’s rookie partner William Schenk (Max Minghella) investigating a series of grisly murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly trapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game. Marisol Nichols and Zoie Palmer also star in the film.

It has been 13 months since the first look of “Spiral” debuted online. The film was initially set to release in May 2020, but it was bumped an entire year in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. With theaters recently reopening their doors, the film’s release date was moved up a week. Lionsgate Motion...

The “Saw” horror franchise is coming back for a ninth go-round on the big screen with the upcoming “Spiral,” starring Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson. Rock came up with the idea himself for this reimagining, the new trailer for which suggests the “Saw” movies are heading away from their gore-obsessed horror roots and into serial killer territory a la David Fincher’s “Seven.”

Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, and Zoie Palmer co-star in the movie. “Spiral” is directed by franchise veteran Darren Lynn Bousman, who wrote and directed 2005’s “Saw II” and helmed sequels “Saw III” and “Saw IV.” The script was penned by “Jigsaw” writers Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger.

Lionsgate’s official synopsis for “Spiral” reads: “A criminal mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral, the terrifying new chapter from the book of Saw. Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L.

Chris Rock is a household name when it comes to entertainment. He wears many hats as a writer, actor, producer, and stand up comedian. Believe it or not, people have been laughing at Rock’s jokes since the early ’90s. And later this year Chis Rock will enter the horror genre. Rock will star in what is being described as a reimagining of the movie Saw. The movie does not have a set title. And a trailer has yet to be released, but you can bet they will be bloody. The Saw movies have made a lot of money and always delivered on the gore. Rock wrote the story for the film which was adapted to the screen by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger. Darren Lynn Bousman who has three Saw films under his belt will return to the director’s chair for this film. Chis Rock will star alongside Samuel L. Jackson,...

The Pure TV show has taken an interesting journey to Wgn America (Wgna). The first season of the TV series debut on CBC, and later on Canada's Super Channel, before streaming on Hulu in the United States. Initially, it was considered cancelled by those outlets, but then Wgna and Super Channel partnered with CBC and Hulu to produce this second season. Now that Wgna is debuting season two of Pure, how will it perform in the Nielsen ratings? Is there enough story (and ad revenue) to continue beyond this installment? Will Pure be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

A crime drama, Pure stars Ryan Robbins, Alex Paxton-Beesley, Dylan Everett, Victor Gomez, Alyson Hannigan, Christopher Heyerdahl, Zoie Palmer, and Gord Rand. The story centers on Mennonite pastor Noah Funk (Robbins). Noah must find a way to protect his family, remain true...

What's This TV Show About?

A Canadian drama which first ran on CBC in Canada and streamed on Hulu in the Us, Pure stars Ryan Robbins, Alex Paxton-Beesley, Dylan Everett, Victor Gomez, Alyson Hannigan, Christopher Heyerdahl, Zoie Palmer, and Gord Rand.

How pure are Anna and Noah Funk's motives in the second season of the Pure TV show on Wgn America? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Pure is cancelled or renewed for season three. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the Pure season two episodes here.

A Wgn America drama, Pure stars Ryan Robbins, Alex Paxton-Beesley, Dylan Everett, Victor Gomez, Alyson Hannigan, Christopher Heyerdahl, Zoie Palmer, and Gord Rand.

Being a single parent is difficult enough for any woman.

But when Pure Season 2 opens at 10 p.m. Tuesday, May 29, Anna Funk faces her own special challenges.

Throughout Pure Season 1, Anna and her husband, Mennonite Pastor Noah Funk (played by Ryan Robbins), sought to bring down a Mexican drug-smuggling ring which was plaguing their Ontario community by going undercover.

Noah was the heart of that operation, but Anna was the brains.

Things didn't go as planned. Noah's drug-addict brother Abel was shot and left to die in the Mexican desert.

To save his foster son Ezekiel, Noah shot and killed Eli Voss, the cartel boss, on Pure Season 1 Episode 6. Then, feeling that he had violated the church's tenets, he left the community and his family.

Anna was excommunicated by the church. Forced to sell their farm, Anna and her children, Tina and Isaak, move to town and they make a meager living by cleaning houses.

Pure Season 2, debuting May 28 on Wgn America, can best be summed up by The Who lyric "Come meet the new boss same as the old boss."

Pure Season 1, which aired earlier this year, told the gritty tale of Mennonite Pastor Noah Funk, who went undercover with the goal of exposing the Mennonite mob which was running drugs from Mexico to Canada.

Once she found out what her naive husband was attempting, Noah's steely wife Anna also got involved in his well-intentioned effort to bring down mob boss Eli Voss. 

They were aided in the investigation by disgraced local cop Bronco Novak, who dated Anna and picked on Noah while all three attended the local high school. The dynamic among the trio was one of the first-season highlights.

Noah ended up shooting and killing Voss to protect his adopted son Ezekiel. The season ended with him leaving the Mennonite community and...

What happened with Dark Matter? Recently, co-creator Joseph Mallozzi explained why Syfy cancelled the TV show after three seasons.

On Wynonna Earp Season 3 Episode 5, Purgatory is sent into a frenzy by Jolene, breaking friendships and wreaking havoc between the reunited Earps.

It's a messy episode that tries to make up for the confusion in its fun factor, hinging entirely upon the dramatic irony served through Jolene, which none of the characters realize is the demon they are searching for.

The Jolene/Waverly and Jolene/Nicole scenes are particularly harrowing, allowing Dominique Provost-Chalkley, Katherine Barrell, and Zoie Palmer to shine.

Jolene breaking the close bond between Waverly and Nicole is also heartbreaking, but it's made up with a warming WayHaught scene at the end of the episode.

Waverly really is getting the short end of the stick this season, but it allows the show to dive into grittier and realistic territory without hinging upon horror. Rather, the darker aspects come from horrors that are based in reality.

You tell Waverly...

Former How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan is set for a recurring role opposite Ryan Robbins and Alex Paxton-Beesley on the second season of Wgn America’s Mennonite crime drama Pure.

Inspired by true events, the series goes deep inside a closed, secretive subculture through the eyes of Noah Funk (Robbins), a conflicted, good-hearted man trying to protect his family and preserve his faith. Noah is a newly elected Mennonite pastor, who is determined to rid his community of the scourge of drugs and its ties to a trans-border smuggling alliance with ruthless Mexican cocaine cartels. Just when he thinks he’s won, Noah and his wife Anna (Paxton-Beesley) are thrust headlong into a desperate world of violence, greed and betrayal.

Hannigan will play Esther Dunkel, a lapsed Mennonite who is nobody’s fool and has been helping her lawyer-boyfriend funnel a fortune in cartel cash through a local bank.

A Lost Girl alum finds herself on another Syfy series.

Syfy announced that Zoie Palmer will guest-star during Season 3 of Wynonna Earp as Jolene, a fun-loving yet secretive friend. The episode will reunite Palmer with Lost Girl co-ep turned Wynonna Earp showrunner Emily Andras.

In addition to Lost Girl, Palmer’s previous credits include Dark Matter, The Guard and Instant Star.

There are only three more episodes remaining in this season, and the tension definitely started to ramp up even more in Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 10 as a computer virus wreaked havoc on the Raza and her crew.

Zoie Palmer was the true star of this episode, and, boy oh boy, did she get a lot to do.

She played three distinct roles in this episode: The Android, The Android in the dream world, and The Hologram.

I truly enjoyed the initially subtle ways in which The Hologram attempted to undermine both the crew's confidence in The Android and The Android's confidence in herself and the crew.

I am of the opinion that the dream world itself was being manipulated by the Mikkei virus; note how dream-Victor kept trying to distance The Android from her human crew, encouraging her to abandon them and find real-Victor.

Ultimately, of course, The Android rejected...

Syfy has finally found a winning combination for Friday nights.

Today the network announced it will be renewing both Dark Matter and Killjoys for an additional season.

This news come just as the programs are ending the runs of their current seasons.

The Killjoys Season 2 finale will air tomorrow night, and in the words of our reviewer, Hank Otero, "Mind Blown!!!"

It certainly doesn't sound like you're going to want to miss Killjoys Season 2 Episode 10, "How to Kill Friends and Influence People."

Dark Matter will air a double episode on Friday, September 9, and its finale on Friday, September 16.

Dark Matter follows the story of a crew full of amnesiacs who found themselves on a derelict ship in the middle of nowhere.

With no idea how they got there or who they were, they have worked together calling each other numbered names to survive a voyage filled with betrayal and secrets.

There were so many great lines and moments on Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 5, it was hard to get them all down. Plus one case of revenge that was simultaneously satisfying... yet not very satisfying at all.

The cold open with the Android at the bar was really not as shocking or surprising or even all that startling as I think it was meant to be; after all, we left her at the end of the previous episode clutching that upgrade.

In the end, this story turned out to be less about the Android and her upgrade than it did about One, despite One being, well, dead.

Don't get me wrong, seeing the Android take on the entire bar was pretty awesome, but in a crew with nanite-enhanced Two, sword-master Four, and prescient Nyx, I already miss the Android's semi-innocent state.

The heart-to-heart between the Android and the Hologram only reinforced this for me.

If any of you were ever wondering what Two, Three, or Four were like before the amnesia, Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 3 hopefully answered some of your questions.

While the technical reasons that resulted in their reverse-amnesia didn't really make sense to me, I did appreciate this window into their pasts. Plus, it gave Five a real chance to shine.

Curiously, one of the first things that happened after the rather chilling cold open was Three walking in on Two attempting to drown her sorrows over the death of One.

Three: Those nanites of yours, they keep you from gettin' drunk, too?

Two: Yeah, I think they might.

Three: Well, guess there's a downside to everything, right?

Welcome, fans of Dark Matter!

It is my pleasure to serve as reviewer this season; I confess that I only got into this series when I spotted it on Netflix during its hiatus, but it really appealed to the Firefly fan in me. So let's get this show on the road and turn our attention to the season premiere!

Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 1 picked up not too long after the Dark Matter Season 1 finale left off, with Six revealed as an undercover cop for the Galactic Authority and subsequently betraying the crew of the Raza. The hits did not stop there with that revelation, however.

I do want to point out the silliness of the opening with Two, Three, Four, and the others standing in the doorway in their underwear, gazing out into the common area of the prison. Fan service aside, it looked pretty absurd as they all stood there frozen,...

Although many of our favorite shows are about to take a few months off, that doesn’t mean your TV will become obsolete during the summertime. SyFy intends to heat things up with the release of two trailers promoting the sophomore seasons of Dark Matter and Killjoys.

I admit that it’s not often I become addicted to a summer series, but I found myself pleasantly surprised when Dark Matter effectively entralled me with its intrigue, space exploration, and great characters that were just as unaware of who they were as the viewer was. With the team having been betrayed from within during the first season’s finale, I expect the new dynamic added to extend the scope of what’s been established.

In addition to the promo video, which can be viewed at the top, SyFy has released an official synopsis that provides insight into the coming season as...

Dark Matter's first season proves there may be life left in the TV space adventure genre yet. Here's our review of the DVD, out now...

Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Sg-1... there was a time when sci-fi space adventure ruled the genre TV landscape. Fast forward a decade or so and only Doctor Who remains as a true giant of small screen sci-fi. Marvel and DC Comics have rightly enjoyed enormous success with the likes of Daredevil, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow and The Flash - yet seemingly out of nowhere - Canadian channel Space and Us cable stalwart Syfy has breathed new life into a genre many declared over as Star Trek: Enterprise limped out of existence in 2005.

Featuring elements familiar to anyone versed in Star Trek, Firefly, Blake’s 7 or even Guardians Of The Galaxy - Dark Matter smartly mixes the...

TV shows that are based on comic books seem to be all the rage these days but they've found mixed success in the ratings. The Flash and Arrow are hits but Constantine was cancelled. How will the newest one, Dark Matter, perform for Syfy? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.

On Dark Matter, the crew of a derelict spaceship is awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got on board. Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage charged with vengeance, betrayal and hidden secrets. The show's cast includes Marc Bendavid, Melissa O'Neil, Anthony Lemke, Alex Mallari Jr, Jodelle Ferland, Roger Cross, and Zoie Palmer.
