TV: [Next On] AMC Previews ‘The Walking Dead’ Episode 6
We’re nearly the halfway point of the second season of “The Walking Dead” and I can’t say I’m overly impressed. I know everyone is still excited to finally have a zombie series on mainstream TV (as am I!), but at some point you have to say “why am I so freaking bored?” Between “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad,” you have to wonder why “The Walking Dead” is failing to have the same impact as those soon to be iconic series. Still, I’m sticking with AMC’s live-action adaptation of Kirkman’s awesome comic in hopes that the next arc is as badass as it is in print. There are some really cool characters that should soon come into play and I expect demand better character development (there’s no reason Shane should be the most exciting and charismatic character).
With that said, we’ve got the plot crunch for the sixth episode, along with a few new stills. What do you guys think of season two thus far? Is it living up to the hype for you? Episode 2.06 – “Secrets” (11/20/11 Air Date)
“Secrets are told and secrets are revealed. Hershel refuses to acknowledge the world’s new reality. Andrea comes out of her shell. Everyone is becoming more and more aware that “everything is food for something.”
In this latest season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” TV series, the survivors arrive at Hershel’s Farm, where we meet Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson); his daughter, Maggie (Lauren Cohan); and middle-aged ranch foreman Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince). The new cast members join series regulars Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori Grimes, Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh, Laurie Holden as Andrea, Jeffrey DeMunn as Dale, Steven Yeun as Glenn, and Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
