Engineer John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) and expert hunter...

One of Stephen King's most iconic novels was the source for this popular horror film.

King Kong is the prototypical man vs. beast film, debuting in 1933, being remade in 1976 and 2005 and helping to inspire Legendary's current MonsterVerse franchise. It isn't exactly the most plausible of the films in this genre, pitting an intrepid band of explorers against hordes of dinosaurs and one extremely oversized ape. Much of the film takes...
Given the massive popularity of Jaws, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood began churning out various rehashes and spinoffs. Piranha was among the first on the scene.

In Anaconda, a group of National Geographic photojournalists find themselves unwillingly swept up in a quest to hunt down an anaconda of record-breaking size. Naturally, that leads to several people being suffocated to death and eaten. Though ...
Like snakes, spiders are creatures that really manage to make some people's flesh crawl. Arachnophobia played on that fear. Playing out like a slightly more humorous version of The Birds, Arachnophobia sees a rare and extremely deadly type of spider make its way from the jungles of Venezuela to small-town America. Once the spider begins breeding, i...
Anyone with the slightest interest in prehistoric zoology knows that the planet used to be populated by much larger sharks and crocodiles than the ones swimming around these days.
