The New York indie scene is about to get a shot in the arm with the upcoming theatrical release of Fantasy Life. After cleaning up on the festival circuit, taking home the Audience Award and a Special Jury Award for Amanda Peet at SXSW, this "smart New York romantic comedy" is finally heading to the big screen. The film kicks off its run in New York City on March 27th, followed by a nationwide expansion on April 3rd. The story follows Sam Stein (played by writer-director Matthew Shear), a down-on-his-luck paralegal who pivots from a mid-career panic attack into an unexpected gig babysitting for his own psychiatrist. The job takes him to Martha’s Vineyard for the summer, where he finds himself living in a crowded, high-energy house with the woman he’s falling for (Amanda Peet), her rock-bassist husband (Alessandro Nivola), and a revolving door of quirky grandparents. It’s a classic setup for a comedy of errors, grounded by what critics are already calling a powerhouse performa...

The box office hit Mercy is officially making the leap from the silver screen to your living room. Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment have announced that the high-stakes sci-fi thriller, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson, will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD starting April 7th. After a dominant theatrical run that saw the film debut at #1 in January, home viewers can finally experience the "intense" and "suspenseful" ride that earned an impressive 82% on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter.

Directed by Errol Sack and penned by Steven Shaffer, the film marks a relentless return to the gritty tradition of cult revenge cinema. Produced under the ES Films banner by Alexia Cirino, Chuck Cirino, Dennis McCarthy, and Steven Shaffer, the story follows a long-haul trucker who miraculously survives a fiery highway catastrophe that claims the lives of his entire family.

Watching Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man felt a little strange at first, mostly because going back into that world after the series ended already carries a lot of weight. The Shelby story has always been tied to the smoke and grit of Birmingham and the trauma left behind by the First World War, and this movie really leans into that feeling again. But instead of trying to top the scale of the later seasons, it feels more reflective. It almost plays like a long look at Tommy Shelby as a person rather than just the legend everyone sees him as. Picking up after the finale, the story doesn’t rush to prove why it needs to exist. It takes its time, and that actually worked for me. The movie steps away from the big political games that dominated the later seasons and focuses much more on Tommy himself. There’s a sense that he’s carrying the full weight of everything that’s happened across the series, and the film lets that sit with you. The title, The Immortal Man, really stuck with me while ...

If you’ve spent any time in the corner of the internet where horror gaming and jump scares collide, you likely already know the name The Mortuary Assistant. The indie hit that turned the clinical, quiet work of embalming into a gauntlet of demonic possession is finally making its jump to the silver screen. Shudder has officially announced that the film adaptation will begin streaming on March 27, 2026, bringing a whole new level of dread to the night shift. The film follows Rebecca Owens, a newly certified mortician played by Willa Holland (Arrow), as she steps into the unsettling halls of River Field Mortuary. What starts as a standard night of solitary embalming quickly spirals into a fight for her soul. Between performing gruesome tasks on the deceased and navigating sinister rituals, Rebecca has to uncover the secrets of her mentor, played by the always-excellent Paul Sparks (Boardwalk Empire), while battling her own past traumas. It’s a claustrophobic, high-stakes premise that has...

In a world where we often feel like just another data point, director Jan Komasa’s latest feature, HEEL, poses a chilling question: is our freedom worth anything if no one is watching? This "twisted thriller" functions as a dark, modern fable, centering on Tommy, a nineteen-year-old delinquent who spends his nights lost in a haze of parties and aggression. His life of chaotic autonomy is violently interrupted when he is kidnapped by a man named Chris and wakes up chained in the basement of a quiet suburban home. But this isn't a standard hostage situation; Tommy has been selected for a forced transformation by Chris and his "near-spectral" wife, Kathryn, who use psychological warfare to "reform" his behavior within their isolated family unit. The project is a unique collision of "Central European sensibility" and "British gothic restraint," filming across both Warsaw and the melancholic, windswept landscapes of Yorkshire. This atmos...

In a thrilling development for genre fans, Academy Award nominee Paul Giamatti is set to lead the upcoming mystery-horror feature Boutique. The project marks a high-profile reunion for Giamatti and writer-director Jim Gavin, the creative force behind the cult-favorite AMC series Lodge 49. Set to begin production in the UK this summer, the film marks Gavin’s feature directorial debut and promises to blend eerie atmosphere with a dark, conspiratorial edge. Giamatti stars as Calvin, an American tourist who travels to a remote English seaside town to walk in the footsteps of his favorite reclusive author. However, his literary pilgrimage takes a nightmarish turn as he uncovers a murderous secret society that has permeated every corner of the coastal community. Giamatti, fresh off his acclaimed, award-winning turn in The Holdovers, expressed immense enthusiasm for the script, describing it as "scary, funny, bizarre, and strangely moving." The production sees Giamatti and Dan Carey...

The history of horror is often told through a masculine lens, focused on the "Masters of Horror" and the slashers that haunt our dreams. But a new documentary directed by Donna Davies is set to shift that perspective, revealing that women haven't just been the victims on screen; they’ve been the architects behind the camera since the dawn of cinema. Timed perfectly for Women’s History Month, this groundbreaking film explores how women pioneers have revolutionized the genre from 1895 to the present day. Based on the extensive research and book by renowned film critic and author Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, the documentary promises a deep dive into the indelible mark women have left on horror's evolution. Rather than viewing women as a recent addition to the genre, the film traces a lineage of creators, directors, and actors who have been pushing boundaries for over a century. The project is helmed by Davies, a Halifax-based filmmaker who has become a definitive voice in ...
