Get ready for the feature directorial debut of Eli Roth, Cabin Fever, to get a brand-new 4K UHD SteelBook! The film heads to 4K UHD for the first time on January 13th, 2026 from Lionsgate Limited. You can pre-order the snazzy new SteelBook right now. Here’s a synopsis of the film for those that need one. For five friends barreling down a mountain road toward a remote cabin, college is over, adulthood looms, and one last summer of decadence awaits. But when a stranger stricken with a flesh-eating virus shows up at their door, the infection spreads, terror erupts, and friend is pitted against friend in a paranoid nightmare of contagion and survival. Eli Roth’s directorial debut — presented for the first time in blood-spattered 4K — is a landmark shocker with a wicked strain of humor ...

Dear Doctors: I know therapists use music to get through to people with Alzheimer’s disease who don’t really connect with anything else anymore. I just saw on the news that music might also help protect your cognition. I’m curious about both of those things and want to hear more about them.Dear Reader: You are asking about a healing practice that, while making headlines today, dates back centuries. We're tempted to cite the use of music in psychiatric hospitals in the early 1800s as one of the earliest formal uses of it to improve mental and emotional health. However, when you consider the role of music in our own daily lives, this approach reaches back to the dawn of humanity. We sing babies to sleep with lullabies and hum to ourselves when we’re content. We chant or sing in groups to sha...

Courtesy of MGM Teen horror means a lot of things. To the acclaimed, late critic Roger Ebert, teen horror was often used as a pejorative for low-budget slashers, otherwise known as “dead teenager flicks.” For others, teen horror is a gateway into horror for younger audiences—everyone has to start somewhere, and Tarot is a better start than, say, Martyrs. Some exceed all expectations, however, and Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All is one of the best teen horror movies of all time. You’re in luck if you missed it back in 2022—Bones and All was recently added to Netflix. Bones and All, adapted from Camille DeAngelis’ novel of the same name, follows Maren Yearly (Taylor Russell), a teenage girl with an insatiable thirst for flesh. After a startling incident, she’s abandoned by he...

Sunset Park’s waterfront is getting a serious volume boost. The team behind Public Records, the reliably packed Gowanus hotspot beloved for its meticulous sound, has been tapped to build a brand-new 1,000-person performance space at MADE Bush Terminal, the city-owned industrial campus being turned into a creative district. The venue doesn’t have a name yet, but it’s already one of the most intriguing projects on the horizon. Public Records’ founders Shane Davis and Francis Harris, operating through their creative studio Public Service, are partnering with the NYC Economic Development Corporation to reimagine a 10,000-square-foot ground-floor warehouse in Building A. It’s slated to open in late 2026—plenty of time to dream about hearing a German electronic set or a 30-person gamelan ensembl...

If you grew up screaming at a tube TV because you died on the last boss and had to start over from level one, this is for you. Millennial childhood meant cartridges, memory cards, and the very real possibility of losing all your progress because your cousin tripped over the console cable. Now we joke that our generation has “resilience” and a tiny bit of masochism. But new research suggests those ’90s and early 2000s video games did something very real to our brains. And the way Gen Z and Gen Alpha game today might be wiring theirs in a totally different way. So yes, the Rainbow Road trauma might live in your nervous system for a reason. Did 90s video games secretly train Millennial brains for resilience? In a recent Newsweek piece, family and parenting reporter Daniella Gr...

A still from Wicked: For Good. Photo courtesy of Universal Studios. by MIKE ORLOCKThe last time we saw Elphaba and Galinda (AKA Glinda) in the climactic scenes of Wicked (part one), they were cornered in the tower of the Wizard’s palace, pursued by flying monkeys and Winkie guards because they knew the truth about the “Wonderful One” – that he was nothing more than a carny huckster and fraud. Madame Morrible had turned on them, too; she was their estimable professor at Shiz, the university in the land of Oz where they’d enrolled as rivals but became friends as roommates. Apparently, she had a vested interest in keeping the Wizard in charge of things, even though he didn’t have a magical bone in his body. Cut to the present, which is, of course, the newly released Wicked: For Good (PG...
