Dig this sinister synopsis my cats n’ creeps: Wes (Drew Marvick, Pool Party Massacre ), an amateur monster huntin’ type, actually goes against the grain and helps a group of comely vampire vixens to create a website where their prey becomes their pay… but their fang bangin’ ways can only go on static-free for so long… Now as you may guess, my arcane ass was all in for that… until I saw this fright flick runs nearly two hours… Well, Directors Angelica De Alba and Paul Ragsdale (whom also wrote the picture)… who brought us 2023’s Murdercise (which shares many cast members with this film)… proved my clock-based attention deficit fears were unfounded! Over those 2 hours we get blood, boobs, and a definitely fucked-up sequence or two as you’d expect… but there’s also plenty of wit, heart, and pointed satire at today’s trendy influencer-driven money-making opportunities… all of which moves at a brisk pace and ensures that Only f angs never over-stays it’s wicked welcome! Add in an extremely game and personable cast, and some top-shelf cinematography courtesy of Dan Zampa (also of the aforementioned Murdercise ), and you have a horror comedy that’s hard to resist! Fang-filled, freaky

The EU sent Meta a formal antitrust warning, giving the company a chance to respond and defend itself AFP February 09, 2026 2 min read This illustration photograph taken on December 1, 2025, shows the logo of US instant messaging software WhatsApp displayed on a smartphone's screen, in Frankfurt am Main, western Germany. The European Commission told Meta on February 9, 2026 to give rival chatbots access to its WhatsApp messaging service after an antitrust probe found the US giant to be in breach of the bloc's competition rules.PHOTO FILE: AFP The EU executive told Meta on Monday that it must let rival AI chatbots use its WhatsApp platform, after an antitrust probe found the US giant to be in breach of the bloc's competition rules. The European Commission said a change in Meta's terms had "effectively" barred third-party artificial intelligence assistants from connecting to customers via the messaging platform since January. Competition chief Teresa Ribera said the EU was "considering" interim measures to "avoid Meta's new policy irreparably harming competition in Europe". The EU executive sent Meta a warning known as a "statement of objections", a formal step in antitrust probes, and the US giant now has a chance

On the biggest streaming night of the year, the night Canadians obsessively pass around 'working links' like contraband, Subway Canada decided to hijack the behaviour entirely with an idea centred around a simple play on words, 'Soup or Bowl'. As Canadians circulated authentic looking links across group chats, Subway introduced its own—intentionally crafted to mirror real gameday streams through identical naming conventions, platform cues, and frictionless access.   Instead of leading to the game, the link redirected audiences to Twitch, where they encountered “Soup or Bowl” a deliberately understated livestream featuring a Subway soup and bowl positioned in frame with no commentary or embellishment. The minimalism of the stream reinforced the misdirect while remaining native to the Twitch environment. Upon arrival, viewers were presented with a compelling value offer: 60% off a soup or bowl with the purchase of a footlong and were encouraged to stick around for secret code drops to unlock Subway gift cards—turning a moment of redirection into a timely value exchange.  The activation was seeded across Subway Canada’s social channels and supported by key cultural publishers, enabling the link to spread organically through the same digital pathways Canadians use on game day. It reflects the brand’s broader strategy to prioritise culturally timed, earned first initiatives that respond directly to real consumer behaviours rather than competing within high spend, high clutter advertising windows.  ​Denny Downie, head of marketing, Subway Canada said

☀️ Good morning from The Legal File! Here is the rundown of today's top legal news: 📝 Trump administration appeals ruling on releasing New York City tunnel funds REUTERS/Kylie Cooper U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on February 8 appealed against a decision requiring the Transportation Department to unfreeze federal funding for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project in New York, according to a court filing. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas on February 6 issued a preliminary injunction that requires the federal government to release funds for a project to overhaul critical rail infrastructure in New York and New Jersey. The Trump administration filed a notice of appeal on February 8. The Transportation Department said in September that it froze the funding pending a review of the project's compliance with new federal prohibitions against race- and sex-based considerations in contracting decisions. Trump offered last month to unfreeze the funds, a source said, in return for support from Democrats to rename Washington Dulles Airport and New York's Penn Station after him. Democrats strongly criticized the offer. The Gateway Project is intended to build a new commuter rail tunnel between Manhattan and New Jersey and repair a century-old tunnel used by more than
