Face Off journeys into the Future for an epic battle: Demolition Man vs. Minority Report!
We’ve seen many different and iconic visions of futuristic societies in film, from the distinctive fire-belching skyline and perpetual rain of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner to the towering chaos of New York in The Fifth Element. There’s the grimy concrete of Dredd’s overcrowded Mega City One, the utopian domes of Logan’s Run, the vibrant cyberpunk metropolis of Akira’s Neo Tokyo, and who could forget the hoverboards and holograms of Back to the Future Part 2’s more pleasant Hill Valley circa 2015. Huh, it’s weird to think that all Back to the Future movies take place in the past now.
But for this episode, we’re going to visit the worlds of two other well-known sci-fi/action movies that, perhaps surprisingly, share a few similarities: Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report starring Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell,...

Before 2012, you’d be forgiven if you didn’t think it was possible for filmmaker Scott Derrickson to become a master of the horror genre. He’d had three directorial credits to his name up until that point: the forgettable Hellraiser sequel, Inferno, the mediocre horror-courtroom drama The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and the unfortunate The Day the Earth Stood Still remake. While surely a competent director, it’s safe to say no one was necessarily clamoring for the next Scott Derrickson feature. That all changed in October of 2012 with the release of Sinister, a genuinely disturbing low-budget horror effort that remains one of the creepiest movies within the genre over the last ten years.
After directing Deliver Us From Evil, and a little Marvel movie called Doctor Strange, Derrickson returned to the shadows with The Black Phone, based on a short story by Joe Hill and starring newcomer Mason Thames.
