"Star Trek" and "scary" aren't words that are often associated with each other. After all, it's a sci-fi franchise that's more about philosophy than action. "Trek" focuses on optimism and exploration, in a world where humanity has finally put internecine conflicts aside because we realized we are only one speck of a larger universe.
On the edge of the final frontier, though, all types of stories are possible. "Star Trek: The Original Series" began with "The Man Trap," essentially a monster B-movie in space about a salt-vampire with the mouth of a lamprey. In season 2, the series concocted a whole Halloween special with "Catspaw," about two psychic aliens who have constructed a Gothic castle as a trap for the Enterprise crew.
In the 60-ish years "Star Trek" has existed, it has returned to horror regularly enough to call this a trend. As the omnipotent trickster Q (John de Lancie) warned...

Since Steven Spielberg unleashed the iconic thriller Jaws in 1975, the world of shark-themed cinema has evolved, but rarely matched its visceral impact. The French have now stepped up to give us Under Paris, directed by Xavier Gens, famed for his contributions to series like Gangs of London and Lupin. This film, streaming on Netflix, introduces us to a scenario as outlandish as it is intriguing—a giant mako shark terrorizing the Seine River. A Troubling Threat to Parisian Waters Under Paris (or Sous la Seine) centers around Sophia, played by Bérénice Bejo, known for her stellar performance in The Artist.

By 1984, films like “Jaws” (1975), “Star Wars” (1977) “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981) and “E.T.” (1982) had firmly established the summer blockbuster craze, with Steven Spielberg productions leading the way. On June 8, 1984, two films were released simultaneously that continued the summer blockbuster trend, while also establishing new trends with their combination of horror/comedy and fresh marketing and merchandising strategies. Unsurprisingly, one film was produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, and his “Gremlins” battled for the number one box office spot with familiar faces from “Saturday Night Live” who were now “Ghostbusters.” Their quotable scripts and at-the-time unique blend of humor and gore have had long-lasting effects on the film industry and on pop culture that continue to resonate four decades later. Read on for more about the 40-year anniversary of both “Gremlins” and “Ghostbusters.”

Steven Spielberg has made some of the best films that have been celebrated by many critics and filmmakers. The director is one of the rare filmmakers who has successfully managed to deliver in every genre with great conviction. Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial are some of his best works.

A new month is here, which gives us an excuse to showcase a whole new set of streaming horror movies. This month, we're looking at creature features! Monsters, insects, animas run amok — they're all here, ready to make mincemeat of unsuspecting humans who dare cross their paths. The creatures here come in all shapes and sizes, from normal-sized (killer) dogs to mutant sharks to city-leveling behemoths. They're mean, they're scary, they're not to be trifled with. Many of these beasts spring forth from nature, as if nature itself is fighting back against us puny, worthless human beings. Who will survive and what will be left of them? Let's find out.

Despite a copious amount of violence, multiple deaths, and slimy, goopy scenes wherein little monsters get blended, torched, melted, and otherwise horribly mutilated, Joe Dante's Frank Capra spoof "Gremlins" was released on June 8, 1984, with a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. Producer Steven Spielberg recognized that "Gremlins," in being so tonally whimsical, wasn't quite raw enough to warrant an R-rating, yet also realized that it might be a little too terrifying for the kids who were allowed to see PG-rated movies. Spielberg suggested to the MPAA that it introduce a PG-13 rating to cover films like "Gremlins." It should also be noted that, in 1984, a PG rating was similarly given to Spielberg's violent adventure film "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," so it was high time a stop-gap be included.
The PG-13 rating was introduced on July 1, less than a month after "Gremlins" opened. Weirdly,...

Joe Dante's "Gremlins" is a one-of-a-kind blockbuster from an era when studios hadn't quite yet developed the formula for producing hit movies. In the early 1980s, executives under pressure to find projects capable of breaking the coveted $100 million domestic mark relied heavily on movie stars or bestselling books, but to strike gold you needed vision. That meant finding a visionary.
There were two 30-something film brats who fit this profile during that period: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. And since Lucas was, at the moment, a two-franchise man with "Star Wars" and the just-taking-off Indiana Jones series, Spielberg, who'd just set up his production company Amblin Entertainment at Universal Pictures, was the closest thing to a Walt Disney alive and unfrozen in Hollywood.

Here are 6 worth-watching shark flicks that are available on Netflix.
1. Jaws (1975)
First comes the best and the most notorious shark film ever made. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it follows a police chief, a biologist and a shark hunter in their attempt to beat a large shark attacking beachgoers at a resort. If you still haven’t seen it, why not?
2. The Shallows (2016)
Blake Lively’s survival horror centers on a medical student stranded on an isolated rock, where she is threatened to be eaten by a great white shark. The actress’ stellar performance added by the growing suspense makes a must-watch of it.

Steven Spielberg has delivered some impeccable Hollywood projects that continue to serve as a great inspiration for filmmakers. However, many often forget that the director himself was a newbie once upon a time, just like any other in the industry. Despite facing challenges, he created a masterpiece like Jaws (his second feature film), which was a complete nightmare to shoot.

Jan de Bont's "Twister" might be regarded nowadays as one of the most thrilling blockbusters of the 1990s, but when it hit theaters on May 10, 1996, the first, heavily-hyped summer tentpole out of the gate that year, it felt like a bit of a miss. Responses varied, mostly because you really needed to see the film on a massive screen in a theater outfitted with top-grade sound –- this way, the visual/aural sensation concocted by de Bont and the best of the best at Ilm and Skywalker Sound could blow you up, up and out of the cineplex, thus distracting you from the bland characters and preposterously thin plot. (Helen Hunt's character needs to face and survive an F5 tornado to exorcize her childhood demons.)

The critically acclaimed 2006 film is based on the true story of an unhoused San Francisco-based single father who rises up in the ranks of a tech company, beginning with door-to-door sales. Smith recently said during an episode of First We Feast’s “Hot Ones” series that “The Pursuit of Happyness” is the “best movie” of his career.
“I think the individual best movie, all around, that I’ve ever made is ‘The Pursuit of Happyness,'” Smith said. “Right behind that is the first ‘Men In Black.’ The direction, cinematography, and music…”

Back in 2018, Jason Statham’s sci-fi action has rekindled people’s interest in shark movies, as The Meg became hugely successful and grossed over $530 million against a budget of $130 million. The action-packed story of a group of scientists who confront a giant megalodon shark in the Pacific Ocean was extremely spectacular, yet horrifying.
Today, Netflix presents its own take on shark flicks, as another movie of this kind has just premiered on the platform. However, now it has no deal with both Statham and America, as here we have quite an usual setting and a more sophisticated premise.
The thriller starts by showing Paris’ government, who are preparing to host the World Triathlon Championships (talk about timing!). Everything goes according to their plan, however, they are completely unaware of the fact there is an enormous shark swimming deep in the Seine.

Under Paris is essentially a remake of Jaws. Everything from its premise to the characteristics of its protagonists and antagonists is quite similar to those of the Jaws universe. But the subtle differences in the outcomes of some of the plot points and the nature of the action sequences make Under Paris less of a remake of Jaws and more of a spiritual legacy sequel to the Steven Spielberg blockbuster. Regardless of their similarities and differences, I do think that Under Paris is the best shark film since Jaws. So, let’s talk about them.

The opening acts of Under Paris and Jaws are quite different. The Netflix film establishes the threatening nature of Lilith and the connection between her and Sophia.

Under Paris was building up to a battle between Sophia and Lilith in the Seine. Since the film was essentially a remake of Jaws, I thought that Xavier Gens and his writers would script a brutal confrontation between the two of them and then call it a day. But, even if I were given at least 100 guesses to predict the final moments of the film, I probably wouldn’t have said that the movie was going to end with a mutant shark whizzing through the Seine while being shot at by the police and triggering a series of explosions that caused Paris to get completely flooded. Sure, if I’d paid attention to the fact that the opening moments of the film hinted at the seemingly dormant explosives lying at the bottom of the river, I would’ve expected that outcome. Still, I would’ve been surprised. That said, does...

Steven Spielberg has been one of the most prolific filmmakers in Hollywood since the 70s. The director has tackled every genre and has shown that he can confidently execute them with conviction. It’s hard to believe that such diverse films like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Color Purple Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, and Minority Report came from one filmmaker.

Director Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" is a stone-cold masterpiece -- a fantastic adaptation (even if it is vastly different from the book), a stunning achievement in filmmaking, and a revolutionary moment in the history of special effects. Less praised but still fantastic is Spielberg's "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (which some consider to be the best movie in the franchise). This movie adds to the lore of the series by introducing Isla Sorna and other islands we hear about but never see in the Muertes Archipelago.
Speaking with CinemaBlend, writer David Koepp explained how, during a scene where Jeff Goldblum and the rest of the cast approaches Isla Sorna, their boat stops short of shore. In the final movie, the captain says they don't want to approach the island for rumors of missing boats and dead crewmen. In reality, that was a hard pivot needed when the boat...

Could it be? Are the "Shark Horror" gods smiling upon us from Atlantis? Xavier Gens' Under Paris blends the bureaucratic foolhardiness of Jaws with Deep Blue Sea’s tempo. While science-based ecological themes get murky, the film shines at its most chaotic. A rogue female mako swimming France' Seine River brings shades of Dick Maas' Amsterdamned or Uncaged, varying takes on horrific (and preposterous) scenarios in major metropolitan areas. Don't look to Under Paris for grounded realism or bulletproof storytelling, but compared to the recent deluge of utterly impotent fin flicks over the last few years? Gens' aquatic thriller on Netflix is like stumbling upon the Holy Grail of Shark Horror.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) stars as oceanic wildlife researcher Sophia. Tragedy strikes when a tagged mako named Lilith turns on Sophia's diving team, including her husband, leaving Sophia with permanent pressure damage and her scuba squad deceased.

Could you imagine that Jaws, the iconic thriller helmed by Steven Spielberg, topped $100 million in theater rentals before grossing over $400 million at the box office? Not just that, the 1975 flick clinched three Academy Awards, setting a precedent for the summer releases we eagerly anticipate each year.
But it was a mess, too. Behind this monumental masterpiece was a young Spielberg, steering the project, which starred Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss. There is no doubt that Spielberg’s steadfast vision made the movie possible—one that still thrills audiences to this day.

The familiar touchstones of summer shark horror are there in spades in French filmmaker Xavier Gens’ (Frontier(s), Cold Skin) Netflix feature Under Paris. Jaws and eco-horror collide as a Mako shark goes rogue right at the peak of summer’s busy season. As its title suggests, the novelty here comes in the form of its setting: the Seine River and Paris’ labyrinthine underground system. The unique location and stunning underwater photography go far in Gens’ latest, but not far enough: an overreliance on a familiar story and clashing tones work against the summer shark carnage.
An intense opening introduces scientist Sophia (Bérénice Béjo) as she and her team, including her lover, investigate a trash island out at sea. They find the carcass of a baby sperm whale trapped and starved by the debris, which then attracts sharks. That includes Lilith, a tagged female Mako that Sophia’s team has been tracking.

Steven Spielberg is one of the most celebrated filmmakers in Hollywood. He is the man behind iconic films such as Jurassic Park, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and more. He won two Oscars for Best Director for helming the holocaust film Schindler’s List and the World War II drama Saving Private Ryan.
Spielberg had his breakthrough with the survival horror film Jaws. The film became the highest-grossing movie of all time in 1975 and was the first Summer blockbuster. Spielberg became one of the most sought-after filmmakers after the success of the film. However, he was almost fired from the project due to many issues and was saved by a guardian angel.

When we first reconnect with Frasier Crane in the “Frasier” revival, the character is thriving. Since his departure from Seattle at the end of the original “Frasier” series in 2004, he has become a household name, having hosted a popular TV talk show for years in Chicago. And although he remains unlucky in love, Frasier exudes more confidence than ever before when we see him in the Boston-set update.
“He’s certainly refined and more comfortable in his own skin,” Grammer says of his on-screen alter ego, first seen on “Cheers” in 1984. “He’s a fuller man than he used to be. He knows more. He’s wiser.”
The same might be said for Grammer. Of course, he isn’t really Frasier, but having played the character for four decades, their paths are inextricably linked. Ask Grammer about how he personally has evolved over that same time frame, and it’s...

Given how trailers and even teasers give away most of the film’s plot, I tend to just watch 10–20 seconds of it and make up my mind. Under Paris had me hooked based on its premise that there’s a shark in the Seine. As a fan of shark films, I didn’t need to know much more before diving into it. Now, seemingly unrelated to that, I was watching a video by Patrick Willems about what’s going to be the next big thing in the world of entertainment after superhero movies. While on the topic of legacy sequels, Willems mentioned Steven Spielberg. That got me thinking: while Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park got the legacy sequel treatment twice, why hasn’t anybody done a legacy sequel for Jaws? Sure, the sequels were bad, but they were profitable. It’s considered the foundation stone for shark films as well...

The '90s were a great time to be a young horror-loving kid. There were several gateway horror shows and movies that made genre fans out of an entire generation, preparing kids for the horrors of the real world within the safe confines of a television set. It was a time of "Goosebumps" and of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," a time of "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" and "Tales from the Cryptkeeper." Then there was "Courage the Cowardly Dog."
Though "Real Monsters" featured, well, monsters, it was still definitely a comedic show. "Courage the Cowardly Dog," though, even when it wasn't technically scary, it was always eerie and disturbing. The cartoon follows the eponymous dog Courage, who lives with an elderly couple in a farm in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas. They are constantly thrown into weird, often spooky situations. The series started with a pilot short titled "The Chicken from Outer Space,...

When it comes to diversity in filmmaking, Steven Spielberg tops the list. Over many decades of being one of Hollywood’s greatest directors, Spielberg has shown that he can never be boxed into one specific genre by becoming the master in everything. From action thrillers to intense dramas to historical biopics, he has proved that nothing is beyond his reach.

One of the Jaws director’s shining moments came in Lincoln starring Daniel Day-Lewis whose towering performance as the 16th President of the USA won him a well-deserved Oscar. While Spielberg considered Lewis to be the main force behind the film’s success, he also confessed that he was proved very wrong about how the film would be perceived at the box office.

However, every person has humble beginnings and the phrase rings true for Spielberg as well. While directing his 1975 film Jaws, Spielberg recalled that the making of the film was a “living nightmare” and not because he didn’t know what to do but because he didn’t know ‘how’ to do it!

Steven Spielberg is one of the most prolific directors working today in Hollywood. The two-time Oscar winner is known for making some of the most influential films of the generation such as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Jaws, and the Indiana Jones films. He also crafted acclaimed dramas such as Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan.
Spielberg’s Jaws was the first summer blockbuster and was the highest-grossing film of all time until Star Wars. Despite the success, Spielberg reportedly had one regret with the film. The iconic picture of the filmmaker sitting atop the mechanical shark was reportedly staged by the set photographer which led to him vowing to never do one thing on set.

Following the success of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 cinematic masterpiece Jaws, which captivated audiences with its tense and frightening portrayal of a great white shark terrorizing a beach town, the movie became an inspiration for upcoming thrillers. But there was one film in particular that shockingly used Jaws as a humorous dig.

Well, in 1978, after Universal Studios released the sequel to Jaws, director Joe Dante came up with Piranha, which was a playful parody version of Steven Spielberg’s suspenseful thriller. Taking a humorous approach, exaggerating the dangers of a school of deadly piranhas, the movie deliberately departed from Jaws’ serious and suspenseful tone.
However, Joe Dante’s campy spoof movie seemingly annoyed Universal Studios, which almost led to a lawsuit, until Steven Spielberg intervened to save the day.

Being recognized as the most commercially successful director of all time, Steven Spielberg has prominently inscribed his name in history. However, few people know that long before starting such iconic franchises, as Jaws, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, the pioneer of the modern blockbuster had a very strong start as a full-length director.
Indeed, back in 1971, when Spielberg was only 25, he made a TV movie that holds up today. More than that, it can even be dubbed the most inventive film ever made by the accomplished filmmaker.
The movie’s seemingly straight-forward plot revolves around a salesman on his way to meet a client. He is driving his car through rural California, but his calm trip is about to be disturbed by a tanker truck driver, who starts chasing him down a highway.

Netflix’s Seine-set shark thriller Under Paris could be taken off the platform within days of its release on June 5 due to legal proceedings brought by a writer-director who claims it was developed without his knowledge from an original idea he registered with France’s rights management body Sacd in 2011.
An initial hearing on June 14 will pass judgement on a legal request by the complainant’s lawyer for the film’s release to be suspended while a second lawsuit around accusations of parasitism makes its way through the courts.
Taking its cue from article 1240 of France’s Civil Code, parasitism is defined as one party following in the footsteps of another party’s efforts and know-how to benefit from their enterprise without seeking permission or making payment.

Here There Be Monsters | Pirates 5 director’s sci-fi film inspired by The Thing and Jaws (exclusive)
Director Joachim Rønning talks exclusively to us about his original sci-fi project, Here There Be Monsters, which will be a nautical take on Jaws and The Thing.
First announced in 2018, Here There Be Monsters was billed as an original sci-fi project co-written by Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales co-director Joachim Rønning. At the time, little was revealed about its plot beyond it being a genre film set at sea.
Speaking to Film Stories ahead of the release of his latest movie, the period biopic Young Woman And The Sea, however, Rønning has revealed a telling new detail about Here There Be Monsters. Confirming that it’ll be set at sea – something of a signature location for the Norwegian filmmaker – Rønning added that it’s inspired by a couple of monster movies you might have heard of.

“I’m terrified of spiders” isn’t exactly what you expect to hear from the mouth of a director who has just done a horror film about a giant spider.
Yet, that’s exactly what Kiah Roache-Turner has done with Sting. We catch up with Roache-Turner as he’s filming his next film, The Beast Of War, which sees him swap giant spiders for giant sharks. “I just spent a day dealing with giant sharks.

In 2007, a shy three years removed from 2004’s Alien vs. Predator, the two titans returned to pick up where they left off with Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. That so happened to be Gunnison, Colorado, where the destruction of a power plant means it’s nigh impossible to see anything going on. That’s not good for anyone — especially audiences.

Most of them probably expected the moderator to lead Dreyfuss on an overview of his amazing career, allowing him to discuss not only Jaws (and set the record straight about whether or not he was a jerk on set) but also films like American Graffiti, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Stand by Me, Stakeout, What About Bob?, or the two that earned him recognition from the Academy: Mr. Holland’s Opus (he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance in the film) and The Goodbye Girl (he won the Best Actor Oscar for that one). Instead, Dreyfuss used the event as an opportunity to go on...

In a time when any comment can be taken as being offensive, every public figure has to be careful. Whether you agree with that or not, the situation is like that, and one has to be careful what comes out of their mouth. In light of that, there is a profound confusion when public figures come out and openly do something stupid. And we’re not referring to situations that can be misinterpreted, that can go either way, but about situations when a public figure openly says stupid things and offensive things. How can this happen? Having an opinion is one thing, but being blatantly offensive towards others and slandering them based on their race, gender, religion… why? How?

Richard Dreyfus Sexist Rant Sparks Apology ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia )
Oscar winner Richard Dreyfus is under fire again over a sexist and homophobic rant that reportedly prompted a Massachusetts theater to issue an apology over the offensive remarks.
It all began when the Cabot hosted the 76-year-old “Jaws” star for “An Evening With Richard Dreyfuss” on Saturday, May 25, before the film’s Massachusetts Theatre screening.
However, things supposedly went off the rails as soon as Richard Dreyfus walked to the stage wearing a dress over his clothes. In a YouTube video taken by an audience member, the actor was seen on stage wearing a floral print dress, shaking his hips to Love Story by Taylor Swift in the background.

Noted American actor Richard Dreyfuss has been on the receiving end of stark criticism after his appearance at a special screening event of Jaws at The Cabot theater in Beverly, Massachusetts. The 76-year-old was the special guest at an “An Evening With Richard Dreyfuss + Jaws Screening” which was held over Memorial Day.
However, hundreds of attendees allegedly walked out of the Q&a session following multiple homophobic, transphobic, and racist comments allegedly made at the event by Dreyfuss. According to social media responses, Dreyfuss allegedly spoke offensively about Barbara Streisand, and criticized the Academy’s rules on inclusivity, before going on a rant against transphobic people ‘affirming their gender.’

In recent years, “Jaws” star Richard Dreyfuss has come under fire for speaking out on subjects such as Oscar diversity requirements and the use of Blackface.
At a “Jaws” retrospective screening in Beverly, Mass. on Saturday evening, he appeared to take his inflammatory remarks even further as he ranted about subjects reported to include trans people, Barbra Streisand, the MeToo movement and women in general. As attendee Diane Wolfe described it to the Boston Globe, “[Dreyfuss] said that the parents of trans youth, allowing them to transition, was bad parenting and that someday those kids might change their minds.”
In a statement, Cabot executive director J. Casey Soward apologized for not anticipating that Dreyfuss might say provocative things on stage.

8. Jigsaw’s Bone-Chilling Question in Saw (2004)
Jigsaw himself is the most terrifying aspect of his titular movie, so no wonder many people still remember his iconic question, “Do you want to play a game?” Except that Jigsaw never inquired about his victims’ desires: he didn’t feel the need to.
