There’s nothing substantially new in theaters for Mother’s Day weekend. I can’t tell if that’s a slight or just a way for Hollywood to go spend time with their moms. Maybe you and yours can just stay in and watch
Poker Face
They’ll enjoy highlighting a guest star and exclaiming, ” Isn’t that the green woman from

Clown in a Cornfield

Some years, clowns are
so
out
and at other times, they’re the
hottest thing
in horror
It’s somewhat premature to determine whether this new slasher film from Shudder will be able to capitalize on current trends.
Terrifier

Conan O’Brien Must Go
,,
Conan O’Brien has been enjoying quite a successful run lately; he most notably emceed the Oscars and was honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. As he gears up for yet another season of his hilariously absurd travel series on Max, viewers can look forward to new adventures starting this week. The first episode sends him off to New Zealand, where he will join forces with renowned local director Taika Waititi. Expect plenty of laughs as they explore together.

The Ugly Stepsister
,,
This isn’t quite your typical Disney fairytale. Instead, it draws more inspiration from the Brothers Grimm version of “Cinderella,” where the stepsisters resort to extreme measures, even violence, to win over the prince. In this adaptation, the older stepsister, Elvira (played by Lea Myren), employs disturbing methods to enhance her beauty and steal the attention of the prince (portrayed by Isac Calmroth) from her attractive orphan step-sibling, Agnes (Thea Sofie Loch Næss).

In
the third episode of
Poker Face
’s new season
, there are ample undercover moles, rats, and snakes to be found — referring to spies rather than actual animals. If the plot twists make you think of
The Departed,
