Thanks to streaming rights and online availability, preserving media has become increasingly hard, yet it’s still doable. Back in the day, we depended exclusively on a show doing well for it to be preserved. Now, many of these shows are lost media, particularly if you don’t live in their originating countries.

We’ve also included a few entries that, while you can watch them today, their topics are in conflict with modern sensibilities. Their depictions of race, identity and the like make us wish that, although available, they did become lost media.

“I see you in there.” 

“Claire, I’m not in my room.” 

Another addition to Netflix’s venture into gaming, Unhinged takes on the survival horror genre as a dark and stormy night takes on more than just power outages and shadows. Players must survive against a maniacal killer hell-bent on making you his victim. Created by Netflix’s Night School Studios, the creators of Oxenfree, gamers use their cellphones as both a controller and an in-game lifeline to navigate and escape from the masked killer in this home-invasion nightmare.

Unhinged follows Ava (Zoë Kravitz) as a storm ravages her apartment building, and she agrees to meet her best friend Claire (Sadie Sink) in the lobby to find a hotel to bunker down against the storm, as their power has gone out. Ava, while on the phone with Claire, is quickly notified by her that it looked like someone was in her bedroom window — Ava dismisses this claim, already being creeped out by the stormy darkness, only to discover how right Claire is when a mysterious man quickly appears behind her with a weapon. 

Ava must escape through her bathroom window to get out of her apartment. Next, the trailer shows flashes of Ava crawling through vents, walking into a room with computer monitors showing a live feed from security cameras of the building, and a confrontation between Ava and the killer. Ava must rely on Claire and the building superintendent, Ben (Troy Baker), to navigate the danger and get to the apartment lobby safely. 

While the story itself isn’t a new trope in the horror industry, the immersive aspect of the game makes it 10 times more interesting. After selecting Unhinged, players will scan a QR code that connects their smartphone as a controller to the game. Ava’s hand movements in the game sync with the controller, allowing players to guide her flashlight in the game. 

Players’ phones also act as an audio immersion device outside their TV speakers. When Ava’s phone rings in the game, so does the player’s phone. The phone will also vibrate and play audio that coincides with Ava’s phone in the game. The game will also feature a Story Mode and a Standard Mode. 

Story Mode is for those who want to play a strictly narrative-driven experience. There is no timer, preventing players from dying, and allowing them to experience the full expanse of the story. It removes the many high-stakes tensions of in-game death, but it gives players the time to enjoy a good horror mystery. 

On the flip side, success in Standard Mode depends on how hard players train their gamer reflexes. In high-stakes moments, players will be presented with a rapidly shrinking timer bar that forces players to scan the room for an interactive object, leading to a quite unfortunate death if the object is not found when time runs out. Fortunately, there are checkpoints, so players don’t have to start from the beginning. 

Due to its unique platforming, the game itself has a much shorter runtime than traditional horror-mystery games. With a runtime of 30-60 minutes, it’s the same length as a standard episode of a TV show, which game developers told Page Six was the point. They further explained that the low runtime makes it approachable for inexperienced gamers. 

With a small, yet star-studded cast, Unhinged looks like an interesting and quick playthrough for all horror lovers — PC gaming experts or passive mobile game players alike. 

Unhinged will be available to play starting June 30 on Netflix.

Some of the most unforgettable moments in movie history were never written into the script. Despite all the planning, rehearsals, and precision that filmmaking demands, there are times when an actor’s instinct in the moment creates something far more powerful than what was originally on the page. A line, a gesture, or a reaction can completely reshape a scene and sometimes even become the defining moment of an entire film. These improvised choices often feel more natural because they come from pure spontaneity. Here are fifteen iconic movie moments that happened because someone trusted the moment and went off script.

Supergirl star Milly Alcock has not been one to shy away from embracing a queer interpretation of the upcoming film’s eponymous Kryptonian. Alcock recently said the character would “swing both ways” at a fan event ahead of Supergirl’s release, and before that she said Supergirl “doesn’t live in the binary” of typical gender expectations.  Supergirl […]

When watching a movie, the genre helps us get ready for what’s about to come. We don’t expect deep plots from comedies, nor do we think we’ll laugh our way through a drama. Yet genre is a fluid thing, and movies mix and blend them in ways that turn certain endings into unexpected surprises.

Those surprises aren’t always nice or uplifting, rather something that you’d expect to see in a horror movie. Bleak outcomes, lack of survivors and other gruesome fates are the hallmarks of these tales, and here are the most unexpected ones we’ve seen so far.

With a small, yet star-studded cast, Unhinged looks like an interesting and quick playthrough for all horror lovers — PC gaming experts or passive mobile game players alike. 

Unhinged will be available to play starting June 30 on Netflix.

Since her debut in 1959’s Action Comics #252, Supergirl has been reinvented time and again. Originally a teen girl riff on Superboy, Supergirl has been everything from a modern woman making her way through 1970s Chicago to a shapeshifting blob of goo to a scantily-clad minion of Darkseid. Even outside of comics, we’ve seen varying […]

Another addition to Netflix’s venture into gaming, Unhinged takes on the survival horror genre as a dark and stormy night takes on more than just power outages and shadows. Players must survive against a maniacal killer hell-bent on making you his victim. Created by Netflix’s Night School Studios, the creators of Oxenfree, gamers use their cellphones as both a controller and an in-game lifeline to navigate and escape from the masked killer in this home-invasion nightmare.

Unhinged follows Ava (Zoë Kravitz) as a storm ravages her apartment building, and she agrees to meet her best friend Claire (Sadie Sink) in the lobby to find a hotel to bunker down against the storm, as their power has gone out. Ava, while on the phone with Claire, is quickly notified by her that it looked like someone was in her bedroom window — Ava dismisses this claim, already being creeped out by the stormy darkness, only to discover how right Claire is when a mysterious man quickly appears behind her with a weapon. 

Ava must escape through her bathroom window to get out of her apartment. Next, the trailer shows flashes of Ava crawling through vents, walking into a room with computer monitors showing a live feed from security cameras of the building, and a confrontation between Ava and the killer. Ava must rely on Claire and the building superintendent, Ben (Troy Baker), to navigate the danger and get to the apartment lobby safely. 

While the story itself isn’t a new trope in the horror industry, the immersive aspect of the game makes it 10 times more interesting. After selecting Unhinged, players will scan a QR code that connects their smartphone as a controller to the game. Ava’s hand movements in the game sync with the controller, allowing players to guide her flashlight in the game. 

Players’ phones also act as an audio immersion device outside their TV speakers. When Ava’s phone rings in the game, so does the player’s phone. The phone will also vibrate and play audio that coincides with Ava’s phone in the game. The game will also feature a Story Mode and a Standard Mode. 

Story Mode is for those who want to play a strictly narrative-driven experience. There is no timer, preventing players from dying, and allowing them to experience the full expanse of the story. It removes the many high-stakes tensions of in-game death, but it gives players the time to enjoy a good horror mystery. 

On the flip side, success in Standard Mode depends on how hard players train their gamer reflexes. In high-stakes moments, players will be presented with a rapidly shrinking timer bar that forces players to scan the room for an interactive object, leading to a quite unfortunate death if the object is not found when time runs out. Fortunately, there are checkpoints, so players don’t have to start from the beginning. 

Due to its unique platforming, the game itself has a much shorter runtime than traditional horror-mystery games. With a runtime of 30-60 minutes, it’s the same length as a standard episode of a TV show, which game developers told Page Six was the point. They further explained that the low runtime makes it approachable for inexperienced gamers.
