Over the course of the seven Harry Potter books and eight films, Harry, Ron, and Hermione face a wide range of monsters, from relatively harmless ones to truly terrifying creatures. The most memorable monsters are often those that are both strangely charming and frightening.

The movie Primate is now the No. 1 film on Paramount+ in the United States, according to FlixPatrol. It’s just behind Top Gun: Maverick and has climbed three spots in the rankings. Primate has been in the U.S. Top 10 for almost 60 days since its release on March 25th. It’s also back in the Top 10 in Canada, currently at No. 4.

Certain things in the Star Wars films have become instantly recognizable, like the opening text crawl with John Williams’ music, a character saying, “I have a bad feeling about this,” the Wilhelm scream sound effect, and Anthony Daniels appearing in a role. However, as the Star Wars story moves beyond the Skywalker family, some of these familiar elements are being left out or changed instead of consistently appearing in new films.

From 2001 to 2014, the action-thriller series 24 was a major force in television. While fans debate the best seasons, many consider season 5 to be a standout. It originally aired in 2006 and featured Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer returning from hiding to investigate the murders of important characters David Palmer and Michelle Dessler. Jack’s colleagues, Tony Almeida and Chloe O’Brian, were also targets of the same killer. Throughout the series, Jack often sacrificed his own well-being to protect others, and season 5 proved especially challenging for him.

Jordan Peele quickly became a leading creative force in horror, starting with his 2017 debut, the critically praised psychological thriller Get Out, which launched the career of Daniel Kaluuya (known for roles in Black Panther, Get Out, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).

Morena Baccarin, known for her roles in Deadpool, Homeland, and Masters of the Universe, stars as Sheriff Mickey Fox in Edgewater, California. Her tough and direct approach to law enforcement makes it hard for Deputy Sheriff Nathan Boone, played by Matt Lauria (known from Kingdom and Fire Country), to get a read on her.

Despite some criticism during its final season, the finale of The Boys delivered a satisfying conclusion. The world of The Boys is growing with spin-offs like the live-action Gen V, the animated The Boys Presents: Diabolical, and upcoming shows Vought Rising and The Boys: Mexico. But if you enjoyed The Boys, there are other excellent, similarly dark and realistic superhero shows worth checking out.

Matt Lauria, known for his roles in Sheriff Country and Fire Country, recently discussed the possibility of a Kingdom reunion. He played Ryan Wheeler in the 2014 series, starring alongside Frank Grillo (Peacemaker, Tulsa King), Kiele Sanchez, Nick Jonas, and Jonathan Tucker.

Released in 1988, Maniac Cop is a classic action-horror film directed by William Lustig. It tells the story of Cordell, a police officer brought back to life after being murdered (played by Robert Z’Dar). He returns as a seemingly unstoppable, supernatural killer seeking revenge on the corrupt politicians who killed him. Starring Bruce Campbell, the film was a hit despite its low budget and led to two sequels. However, after a difficult production of Maniac Cop III in 1992, the series appeared to be finished.
