Unlike the folktales of yore, The Lunar Chronicles feature a cast of strong female protagonists who can hold their own, even when there’s no prince to be found. Oftentimes, princesses are trapped in towers, waiting to be rescued by princes. In the original Grimm’s storybook, the wicked queen asks for Snow White’s lungs and liver in a box, and Rapunzel’s prince’s eyes are gouged out. Fairy-tales have never been for the faint of heart. ![]()

![]() ![]() Despite our young age, a friend of mine and I ended up persuading his mother to rent the film and let us watch it, to which she agreed, only if she was to watch it with us. I tried to imagine what the scenario must have been like in order to pack so many horror scenes that had seemingly very little in common. Back then, the screenshots on the back of these VHS cases would spark my imagination, and when I grabbed Lord of Illusions', there was plenty of horror scenes for me to imagine: you could see a man lying down with multiple swords through his body a screaming man wearing a strange metal mask that looked like a bear trap a hairy, shirtless Scott Bakula holding a revolver and what appeared to be a zombie, holding a screaming woman. To be perfectly honest, I would often rent films based on age rating alone, expecting that it would be concomitant with the level of gore (I was fascinated with practical gore effects, at the time). This means a lot where I'm from, as only very few films obtain that rating. Right next to the Hellraiser films, which all had the highest age restriction rating (18+), there was this new release, which also was rated 18+. My fascination for Lord of Illusions dates back from the video store days, where I would wander around in the horror section of the video store, and would contemplate all these VHS boxes with horror imagery and titles in all sorts of funky, bloodied up fonts. ![]() ![]() So, the company would try to release the series as soon as possible, so fans should expect Harry Potter to be released early in 2025. ![]() The newly combined Max launches on May 23, and while it’ll have plenty of content to retain old viewers and rope in fresh eyes, Harry Potter would be the primary catalyst behind the platform’s success.
