In 2023, directors Danny and Michael Phillipou conjured up one of the year's best horror films with their debut Talk to Me. Now, they're back to terrify us all over again with their second film, Bring Her Back.

SEE ALSO: Summer Movie Preview: What's coming to theaters and streaming?

Bring Her Back stars Sally Hawkins as Laura, a new foster mom to siblings Andy (Billy Barratt) and Piper (Sora Wong). The pair hope to find stability and a happy home with Laura, but instead, they find something more sinister.

As the trailer above reveals, Laura lost her young daughter Cathy (Mischa Heywood). Still reeling from grief, she claims that she never truly found a way to cope with Cathy being gone. Instead, she watches home videos of Cathy and seems to believe that there's a way to "bring her back."

What exactly that process is remains to be seen, but we're guessing it has something to do with Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips), another orphan under Laura's care. The trailer shows him convulsing, bloody, on the ground, with some unknown force crawling under his skin. Whatever's happening to him and Laura, it's bad news.

While the trailer of Bring Her Back cooks up scares galore, it also highlights the role grief will play in the film, similarly to Mia's (Sophie Wilde) attempts to reconnect with her mother in Talk to Me. Expect to be frightened, yes, but likely devastated as well.

Bring Her Back hits theaters May 30.

If you want a tablet that simply serves as a tablet, you don't need to spend a fortune. The reliable and capable Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ checks all the boxes a low-cost tablet should — and it's on sale for just under $200.

As of May 15, you can grab the Galaxy Tab A9+ with 128GB of storage and WiFi connectivity for $199.99 instead of $269.99. That's a savings of 26% and just $20 shy of its best price on record.

While it's not as fancy as the Galaxy S9 lineup, the A9+ can still handle your everyday tasks proficiently. The A9+ is the latest model in the A series, which is essentially a budget-friendly version of Samsung's flagship S series. It features an 11-inch display with slim bezels to make for an immersive viewing experience, plus an ultrathin build overall (just 6.9mm thick) ensuring seamless portability. The A9+ also packs quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, expandable storage up to 1TB, and OK battery life (it's fine, but nothing to write home about).

Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) dubbed it the "best low-cost Android tablet you can buy" last year. They even gave it the coveted Editors' Choice award for affordable Android tablets. It's not perfect or crazy powerful, but it handles everyday tasks — like streaming TV, answering emails, browsing the web, or even running moderately intensive games — like a dream. The subpar battery life can certainly be overlooked for less than $200.

You can even use them all while they're charging. And to help you make sure you know when the charger itself needs to be plugged in, there's an LED display to show you where it stands.

Sydney Sweeney and Halsey jump into the Western genre in the upcoming film Americana.

Written and directed by Tony Tost, currently crushing it as the showrunner for Poker Face Season 2, the film had its premiere at 2023's SXSW Festival before being acquired by Lionsgate in 2024.

SEE ALSO: Summer Movie Preview: What's coming to theaters and streaming?

Americana transports viewers to a small South Dakota town, where the lives of several disparate characters clash when a highly valuable Lakota Ghost Shirt winds up on the black market.

The film boasts an impressive cast, including Sydney Sweeney as Penny Jo, a waitress and aspiring singer. She teams up with restaurant customer Lefty Ledbetter (Paul Walter Hauser) to steal the shirt and sell it, hoping the funds will be enough to jumpstart a glamorous career.

But other town citizens are on the hunt for the artifact as well. Mandy Starr (Halsey) wants to use the shirt as a means to escape from her abusive boyfriend Dillon (Eric Dane), while antiquities dealer Roy Lee Dean (Simon Rex) wants the shirt for himself. Meanwhile, Native Americans Ghost Eye (Zahn McClarnon) and Hank Spears (Derek Hinkey) just want to reclaim the stolen artifact. Also in the mix is Mandy's strange son Calvin (Gavin Maddox Bergman), who believes he's the reincarnation of Sitting Bull.

Watch all these characters collide in the trailer above — sometimes literally, like when Halsey brains Dane with a hammer.

Americana hits theaters Aug. 22.

HBO's decision to change the name of its streamer from HBO Max to Max, and then back to Max again two years later, has been an almost comically ridiculous journey — but at least the company's got a sense of humour about it.

After HBO parent company Warner Bros. Discovery announced the name change on Wednesday, the social media manager running the official @StreamOnMax account proceeded to have a lot of fun with the old new name.

Here are just some of the ways HBO Max has been roasting itself online:

It's time to give that social media manager a well deserved raise, HBO.

Picture this: it’s a busy Tuesday and you’re running into town to run errands on your lunch break. You’re balancing about six items in your arms and already having a stressful day when you’re approached by a man-child with his phone in your face and a tiny microphone in his hand. That’s when he asks you, “What’s your body count?”

He awaits your answer impatiently and you’re confused, frustrated, and not sure why the question is so important. Yet there’s still an immense pressure to answer it. 

This situation, as much as it sounds like a nightmare, is a reality. In fact, it’s a TikTok trend that's amassed an eye-watering 917 million views and counting. Whether it’s viral street interviews, skits, or podcast debates, judging women based on their body counts, or how many people they've had sex with, is algorithmic gold dust for content creators. 

For something so personal, so irrelevant to anyone else’s life, it’s staggering how much weight society still gives to this arbitrary number. And it's not just about curiosity. This number has somehow become a measure of a person’s worth, particularly for women. And they’re being shamed for views and exploited for the revenue that comes with them.

SEE ALSO: How the internet became a breeding ground for slutshaming

So, why does body count matter so much? Why are we still having these conversations in 2025? And more importantly, why does it always seem to matter more for women than it does for men?

The sexual double standard of body counts

When was the last time a man’s sexual history was used to discredit his character, imply he was ‘used up’, or suggest he was unworthy of love?

Body count judgement is nothing more than good old-fashioned slutshaming, the belittling of women and marginalised genders that keeps purity culture in check. Gigi Engle, clinical sexologist, sex educator, and author of All the F*cking Mistakes: A Guide to Sex, Love, and Life explains that purity culture derives from Christianity and was a movement, gaining mainstream recognition in the 1990s, to emphasise the importance of abstaining from sex before marriage in order to please God. However, purity culture has leaked out of religion and the 1990s and permeated every crevice of modern culture.

“One of purity culture’s biggest myths is the idea that every time a woman has sex, she attaches herself to that person and a part of her has been damaged or taken away." - Gigi Engle, sexologist

Engle tells Mashable that purity culture is built on misinformation about female sexuality, rarely demonising men for the same acts, and is passed off as fact. “One of purity culture’s biggest myths is the idea that every time a woman has sex, she attaches herself to that person and a part of her has been damaged or taken away,” she explains. This belief is rooted in Christian purity culture, dating back to medieval times, and is often referred to as ‘soul ties’, a method of shaming women into keeping their body count low.

Engle adds that soul ties were designed to make women feel guilty for having more than one sexual partner. “Purity culture scares us into believing we’ll lose any chance of finding a partner by sleeping around.” 

The real-world effects of body count discourse

It should go without saying, but none of these puritanical ideas are true. Studies consistently show that a person’s sexual history has no bearing on their ability to maintain a healthy, fulfilling relationship. That being said, marriages can be impacted by partners’ amount of previous partners because of cultural issues, including the false narrative that a person’s worth can be determined by how many people they’ve slept with. Ironically, and sadly, the only danger having a high body count poses on being a good partner is being so judged by your partner that it affects the whole relationship. 

Even though we know these ideas aren’t true, the myth of purity has bled into mainstream dating culture, even for those who don’t believe in religion. It manifests in the anxiety many people feel about body count discussions. At the time of writing, TikTok videos under the ‘soul ties’ hashtag have been viewed over 437 million times, many of them spreading misinformation about what happens to our bodies and psyches after sex.

This pressure to conform to outdated sexual expectations has very real consequences. Even in modern dating culture, the expectation that women should suppress their sexuality remains deeply ingrained. Research shows that a significant amount of people openly admit they find a woman less attractive if she has had multiple sexual partners. And that’s just the ones willing to say it out loud.

SEE ALSO: The best dating apps and sites in May 2025

According to a sexual secrets survey of 1,500 British people by sex toy shop Lovehoney, 22 percent of people have lied to a partner about how many people they’ve had sex with. A third of Brits admit to keeping sexual secrets out of fear of judgement, and 30 percent say they’ve kept their number a secret out of embarrassment. 

Even on Pure, a dating app that actively promotes sex positivity, body counts are still a point of tension. In a survey of 3,000 people, just 16 percent of women said they feel comfortable openly sharing past sexual experiences with a date, and 17 percent of men stated they find it unattractive when women have had many sexual partners or kinky experiences.

So, it’s no wonder women feel compelled to downplay their history. The silver lining: for everyone who finds it a turn-off, there are thankfully 83 percent who aren’t put off by certain body counts or wild stories.

Still, this leaves women feeling disillusioned with dating, afraid to disclose their true sexual history in case of judgement or personal attack, and ultimately leads to shame they don’t deserve to carry. 

Slutshaming and sex work stigma

Nowhere is body count judgement and slutshaming more evident than in the way sex workers are treated online. It’s hard to scroll through TikTok for long without seeing a sex worker being interrogated by podcasters who seem less interested in genuine discussion and more intent on condemnation.

Take Rebecca Goodwin, an OnlyFans performer who made headlines after walking out of a podcast recording earlier this year. She later revealed she had been repeatedly berated about her career, with the hosts attempting to frame her work as morally bankrupt. Despite asking for the episode to be scrapped, clips of her trying to defend her choices flooded Instagram and TikTok, spliced with disapproving commentary. Similarly, musician Kate Nash — who joined OnlyFans to fund her next tour — was forced to justify her decision in national news segments.

This trend of scrutinising and shaming sex workers spills over into body count discourse, where women who have multiple partners are treated as if they are somehow tainted. Society continues to associate female sexual freedom with degradation, while simultaneously holding men to a completely different standard.

The backlash against sex workers is particularly apparent in the recent moral panic surrounding porn performers Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue. Phillips set out to sleep with 100 people in a day, while Blue attempted 1,000, reigniting a debate about ‘body counts’ that quickly spiralled into outright misogyny. While some critics voiced concern over the ethics of such stunts, much of the outrage stemmed from the sheer audacity of women publicly embracing their sexuality. The reaction split into two camps: one expressing concern over the men involved and another fixating on the idea that women having too much sex is inherently wrong.

This kind of reaction, unfortunately, isn’t surprising. Slutshaming is often about power and control, according to Erica Smith, founder of the Purity Culture Dropout Program, which helps people unlearn internalised shame. She tells Mashable, “Often a person will slutshame someone because they think that person needs to be put in their place.” 

The deep-rooted stigma surrounding sex work has long been used to punish women for any sexual behaviour that isn’t seen as perfectly pure. If a woman’s number is ‘too high’, she is treated as though she has crossed some invisible threshold into territory reserved for sex workers, who are already relentlessly judged and vilified.

Of course, the idea that women's value disintegrates with each person they sleep with completely disregards consent, sexual agency, and the fact that women don’t exist purely to be chosen by men. What’s even more insidious is how this rhetoric is framed as ‘helpful advice’ rather than what it actually is: old-fashioned misogyny, dressed up in modern aesthetics. 

Slutshaming is also about deflection. “They may not be happy with their own sex lives, and it’s hard for them to see someone enjoying themselves freely,” Smith says. Instead of embracing sex positivity, some people choose to dismiss, belittle, and even actively suppress it.

At the heart of the body count debate is a fundamental misunderstanding of human sexuality. The idea that a single number can define someone’s character, their capacity for love, or their ability to commit is not just ridiculous; it’s dangerous.

Sexuality isn’t a fixed formula. Some people have had many partners, others have had very few, and neither experience is inherently better or worse. Studies consistently show that a person’s sexual history has no bearing on their ability to maintain a healthy, fulfilling relationship. So instead of 'what's your body count', the real question should be: why are we still measuring a person’s worth this way?

YouTube will now show ads at the "peak" moment of videos, in a move right out of cliffhanger TV territory.

Announced Wednesday during the company's Upfront presentation, Peak Points is a new feature that uses Google's Gemini AI to identify "the most meaningful, or 'peak,' moments" to drop ads into YouTube videos.

SEE ALSO: YouTube is testing AI Overviews in search results

The idea behind the feature is YouTube connecting brands with the spot in videos "where audiences are the most engaged" and in doing so, allow creators to make more money from ads. These will likely be the most emotional, dramatic, and interesting parts of videos, identified by Gemini by crunching user viewing data. Hilariously, YouTube's blog post uses the example of a marriage proposal video, highlighting a "targeted moment" right before a suggested ad window. Can't wait for an ad right after that teary "yes."

It's not a surprising move, by any means, considering YouTube's dominance in the streaming market and its reliance on advertising as company and creator revenue. The platform has consistently bested industry leaders like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ as the top-watched streaming service on TVs globally. YouTube also takes the crown for livestreaming, with YouTube Live dominating competitors TikTok and Twitch.

And where there's audience, there's marketing.

Apple is building most of its devices in China. The company has been doing so for decades due to cheaper labor costs, supply chain infrastructure, and manufacturing expertise that's unmatched in any other country in the world. When the Trump administration recently imposed massive tariffs on China, Apple's reaction was to shift some of the production to India — a process that was already underway when the tariffs happened.

But Donald Trump is having none of that. Speaking to the media on Thursday, the U.S. president expressed his dissatisfaction with Apple's decision to move iPhone production to India.

"I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday. I said to him, 'You're my friend, I've treated you very good. You’re coming here with $500 billion, but now I hear you’re building all over India. I don’t want you building in India,'" Trump said.

SEE ALSO: Apple might increase iPhone prices this fall

Read it in Trump's voice for added effect: "I said to Tim, I said, 'Tim look, we've treated you really good, we put up with all the plants that you built in China for years, now you got build us. We’re not interested in you building in India, India can take care of themselves (...) we want you to build here,'" Trump said.

With an offer like that, how can Cook refuse? Well, he'll probably have to, given that it's impractical, extremely expensive, and currently near-impossible to build the iPhone in the U.S. at the volumes that Apple requires.

Trump did say that Apple will be upping its production in the U.S., but offered no details.

Apple has previously said it would invest $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, which includes a new factory in Houston, Texas, where it will manufacture servers.

RJK Jr. has made headlines for many gross and disturbing things, so the U.S. health secretary's recent decision to take his grandkids swimming in a sewage-infested creek didn't come as a major shock to The Daily Show.

"At this point it's like RFK Jr. is going out of his way to be gross," says host Jordan Klepper in the clip above. "Does he just go on Google Maps and search 'Disgusting things near me'?"

RFK Jr. posted the pictures himself on X, describing a Mother's Day hike that included a swim in Rock Creek — a place where swimming and wading are not allowed due to high bacteria levels, per the National Park Service website.

"These pictures are so wild, the fact that he went swimming in jeans is the most normal part of this story," says Klepper.

The battery life is solid, too. According to Apple, all AirTags are designed to have a one-year battery life if used regularly. They use a standard CR2032 coin cell battery, which is user-replaceable. When the battery is running low, you’ll receive a notification on your iPhone, giving you plenty of time to replace it. So with this four-back bundle, you'll always have active tracking.
