Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a Mexican slasher film from 1989 titled Hell's Trap. At first glance it might look like yet another in a long line of foreign ripoff films, but I think it's far better than what you might expect!

Today on the 5: Meta has apparently decided not to pursue a high end mixed reality headset that was meant to compete with the Apple Vision Pro. The most likely reasons for that move make me wonder whether they were ever going to build it in the first place.

Today on the 5: Graphic design company  Canva recently announced a fairly large price hike for many of their users that is being justified by the "value of our expanded product experience". This has understandably upset a lot of users and led to debate about what the true reason for the increase might be.

Today on rhe 5: If you have even a mild interest in video games, you've likelty seen at least a few news items over the failure of the recently released hero shooter Concord.

Today on the 5: After 4 (and a bit) seasons of absolutely incredible television, Evil has ended. My wifer and I watched the final episode earlier thios week, so I figured I'd reviewe what was a bit of a truncated finish to the show. 

Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched a shot on video horror film from the '90s titled Vile 21. While I doubt it would convert anyone into a SOV fan all by itself, it's definitely one of the better example of the genre.
