Back in Black review: Christopher Walken is hilarious as a quirky undertaker

Image
Though many have tried, no one delivers a line like Christopher Walken. In Back in Black, Walken's distinctive diction turns "Shut up" into a moving "I love you." And that's just a taste of what makes this off-kilter comedy such a treat. SEE ALSO: TIFF 2026 preview: 18 films (and shows) you'll want to see (and how) Written by Ron Murphy and Nick Torokvei, and helmed by the former, Back in Black stars Walken as Clyde Mortimer, an undertaker in a long line of undertakers. He runs Mortimer's Family Funeral Home with his chipper wife Autumn (a pleasant Jane Curtin), and their orphaned granddaughter Sam (Ella Ballentine of 2016's Anne of Green Gables and The Vampire Lestat ).

It's also a meaningful shift in what Apple wants the iPhone to be. Case in point, the event kicks off with different cinematic scenes shot on the iPhone 18 Pro. Between the adjustable aperture, manual shutter speed, manual focus, and a live histogram, the iPhone 18 Pro is basically an entry-level DSLR that can call and text your friends. That said, it's worth watching how long Apple sticks with the hardware. Variable aperture isn't new to smartphones bro...
