Cobweb,” a wholly original story written by Chris Thomas Devlin (who wrote the 2022 reboot of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”) that appears to draw heavy inspiration from short-form horror content like “Tales From the Crypt” and features like “The People Under the Stairs.” And if you enjoy those inspirations, “Cobweb” sets itself up to be a success, especially with its leads being Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr, two performers who know how to creep people out. The setup is fascinating almost immediately. Young Peter (Woody Norman) lives in an old house with his parents, Carol and Mark (Caplan and Starr, respectively).
But when Peter hears strange tapping behind his bedroom wall at night, he can’t convince his parents to take it seriously. As things come to a head, and Peter starts to get in trouble at school, the boy begins to worry that his parents might be hiding a dark secret. Director Samuel Bodin and screenwriter Devlin certainly craft an intriguing tale, aided by whimsical, Tim Burton-esque production design courtesy of Alan Gilmore.
It’s as if the audience is plopped right into a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers, introducing Peter as a lonely little boy who lives in a house that’s seen better days and has a pumpkin patch for no discernible reason in the backyard. His parents are clearly off-kilter, with Caplan’s Carol always plastering a wide grin on her face while Starr’s Mark tries to make jokes that just don’t hit. There’s something just a wee bit off with everything, and that’s to the movie’s benefit.
That and the fact that, clocking at barely 90-minutes it can’t afford to waste any time. The problem becomes where to go with all that built-up foreboding. Peter is clearly scared of something and the movie is ambiguous

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Ben Kingsley, who likes to go to extremes, has played his share of frowningly overcivilized repressed geeks and also his share of seething walking-id maniacs. But for all of Kingsley’s dexterous light-and-dark range, it’s still rare to see him take on a character as painfully mild as Milton, the small-town codger he plays in “Jules.” Milton, who is 78, lives by himself in a handsome dark-shingled house in Boonton, Penn.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director It’s been several months since “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” flopped at the box office, and star Zachary Levi is still somewhat perplexed by the comic book sequel’s reception. Levi appeared on a new episode of “The FilmUp Podcast” (via IGN) and lamented over people being so “insanely unkind” to his second “Shazam” movie. Critics dismissed the movie (it holds a 49% on Rotten Tomatoes) and it only grossed $57 million at the domestic box office.

In the vast realm of horror films, Cobweb emerges as a new addition inviting audiences into a world where appearances deceive and secrets hide beneath the surface. Directed by Samuel Bodin and written by Chris Thomas Devlin, and starring Lizzy Caplan, Woody Norman, Antony Starr, and Cleopatra Coleman, the movie’s strengths lie in the established atmosphere of intrigue and suspense. However, it can’t sustain that as it grapples with some missed opportunities and a lackluster conclusion that fails to bring closure to its narrative.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer SAG-AFTRA and the major studios remain at odds on a dizzying array of issues, as film and TV actors hit the picket lines Friday for the first time since 1980. According to sources on both sides, the biggest sticking point is the union’s demand for 2% of the revenue generated by streaming shows. The two sides also remain far apart on basic increases in minimum rates, with the studios offering 5%, 4% and 3.5% across the three years of the contract, while the union is demanding 11%, 4% and 4%. But that only scratches the surface. The parties are at odds on dozens of issues, only a handful of which have been publicly reported.
