The religious themes and imagery of Ridley Scott’s sort-of-prequel to Alien begin in the opening scene, with an alien Engineer sacrificing himself to seed Earth with life – an idea seen in Greek, Roman and cheap steam keys|https://gamedealhq.com/ Aztec religions. But it’s not the most obvious message. When the cast of Prometheus uncovers an ancient map to a distant moon, LV-223, the film’s Christian heroine sees it as an invitation to meet her creator in person. But instead of answers, the crew finds violent creatures and an Engineer determined to destroy all human life on Ea
William Friedkin's tale of demonic possession is widely recognized as one of the most terrifying horror movies ever made, and its use of subliminal imagery only makes The Exorcist more unsettling. The demon Pazuzu - nicknamed 'Captain Howdy' by Regan - can be seen in a few frames scattered throughout the movie, but its appearances go by so fast that some audience members may never even be aware that they saw them. For those who did manage to spot the pale-faced Pazuzu, the fact that the demon's horrifying face is only visible for a fraction of a second is far more frightening than a drawn-out close
Before the scientists of Jurassic Park had learned the dangers of growing dinosaurs firsthand, they developed a unique method to control breeding - grow only female dinosaurs. Ian Malcolm warned that the solution wouldn't work forever, but Alan Grant had already proven the theory earlier in the film. During the group’s bumpy arrival on the island, Alan struggles with his helicopter seatbelt. Why? He’s trying to connect two female ends. Rather than swapping buckles or giving up, he fashions his own solution, just as mother nature would later in the movie. Grant, like Life "found a w
Now that production has gotten underway on the second installment of FX's creepy anthology, American Horror Story , co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy has revealed the first of what will likely be many set photos and announced the series' subti

While the main villain of The Avengers was Loki and the main threat was an alien army called the Chitauri , the threat behind those threats was a cosmic force of evil known as Thanos (or, conversely, The Mad Titan). Of course, you would only know that if you stuck around for the mid-credits sequence and had a firm grasp of the Marvel comic book unive
Jeff Bridges got the chance to show a darker side when cast as the villain of Iron Man , but the visual effects team made it clear which of the actor’s roles was their favorite. When Pepper Potts is secretly looking for evidence on his computer, the documents show weapons shipped on a vessel named "Lebowski" - a nod to Bridges’ role in The Big Lebowski released a decade earlier. His character’s name is also contained in a barcode for all to see, and exact quotes from the movie are easy to read in the fine print. Pepper and the viewers had just a fraction of a second to read all of the hidden messages, since she’s interrupted by none other than The Dude hims
"Kirby had done 'The New Gods,' which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said : 'Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good on
The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again - including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates' mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins' face. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another - leaving them to wonder if they'd ever really seen it at al
Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves' found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d
