The First Season The first season presented a horrific (and familiar) family scenario: a new demonic possession grips the Rance Family and threatens to tear them apart. The horrific events pushed them all to their limits while giving substantial screen-time to showcase the talents of Geena Davis, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey and Alan Ruck. And then it turned out that the series was neither a reboot or remake of the original 1973 film....

Kate Winslet Says ‘Steve Jobs’ Is Really “About All Of Us”; See A New Poster By Angie Han/Aug. 28, 2015 7:00 am EST Just because Steve Jobs is called Steve Jobs, doesn’t mean it’s just about Steve Jobs. In fact, star Kate Winslet says, it’s “almost not about Steve Jobs at all.” Because really, “The film is about all of us.” She’s speaking symbolically, of course, but it does sound like the film has much more on its mind than just the man in the title....
