I'm excited to share the trailer for Untitled Home Invasion Romance, a darkly comedic thriller headlined by Jason Biggs, Meaghan Rath, Anna Konkle, Justin H. Min, and Arturo Castro. The film will be available on digital platforms beginning January 27, 2026. Best known for his on-screen comedy work, Jason Biggs steps behind the camera for his feature directorial debut, while also starring in the film’s lead role. Untitled Home Invasion Romance blends elements of comedy, thriller, action, and crime into an 85-minute, R-rated ride that twists romantic desperation into something far more dangerous. A Romance Gone Very Wrong The film centers on Kevin (Biggs), a man whose marriage is quietly unraveling. In a last-ditch effort to reignite the spark, he plans what he believes is a foolproof romantic gesture: a weekend getaway capped off by a staged home invasion that will allow him to swoop in as the hero for his wife, Suzie (Meaghan Rath). Unsurprisingly, the plan goes off the rails. When...

What if the greatest question in human history was suddenly answered—and the answer belonged to everyone? This summer, audiences around the world will confront that possibility in Disclosure Day, a new original event film from Universal Pictures, created and directed by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Framed as a high-stakes thriller, the film explores the emotional, political, and existential shockwaves that follow proof that humanity is not alone in the universe. Set against the backdrop of a global reckoning, Disclosure Day asks a chillingly simple question: If someone showed you undeniable proof that we weren’t alone, would that truth comfort you—or terrify you? The film positions that revelation not as a distant science-fiction concept, but as an immediate and deeply human crisis, shared by all seven billion people on Earth. Spielberg has assembled a formidable ensemble to bring this story to life. The film stars SAG Award winner and Oscar nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A...

Premiering in theaters on December 12th, 2025, Patrick Creadon’s latest documentary turns its lens toward a figure whose influence is woven into the fabric of nearly every modern creative industry—yet whose name remains surprisingly under-recognized. The King of Color chronicles the extraordinary life and legacy of Lawrence Herbert, the inventor of the Pantone Matching System and the man responsible for bringing order to the chaotic world of color reproduction. Now 96 years old, Herbert reflects on a lifetime of innovation in a rare, intimate interview featured throughout the film. Growing up in Depression-era Brooklyn, Herbert entered the print and manufacturing trade at a time when color selection was inconsistent and subjective—an industry-wide problem with costly consequences. His solution was nothing short of revolutionary: a comprehensive, standardized system that could translate color into a universally understood language. The result was the Pantone Matching System (PMS), a too...

The New Yorker has added Extremist, the award-winning short film from writer–director Alexander Molochnikov, to its curated slate of prestige releases. The film is now streaming both on the magazine’s website and on its YouTube channel, accompanied by a newly published interview with Molochnikov. Inspired by the real case of Sasha Skochilenko—a St. Petersburg artist imprisoned for seven years after swapping four grocery-store price tags with anti-war messages—Extremist approaches her story from a more internal, imaginative angle. Instead of recreating events literally, Molochnikov explores the emotional and psychological weight of a seemingly tiny act of dissent at a time when public expression can trigger severe state retaliation. The film uses this small gesture as an entry point into broader questions about conscience, repression, and the cost of refusing to stay silent. Since premiering at the 2025 Telluride Film Festival, Extremist has quickly become a standout on the festival cir...

The first time anyone in Binger County heard the phrase “tourism initiative,” they assumed it meant another mural, maybe a sunflower festival, or, at most, a modest water tower repaint. No one expected the Lamp. It appeared first as a rumor: a whisper drifting down the aisles of Ozzie’s Hardware, caught between the feed sacks and the impulse-buy screwdrivers. Did you hear? Chickasha’s going to build a giant leg lamp. Like the one from the movie. But bigger. Way bigger. By the time the city council agenda went public, the Lamp had grown in the telling, from fifteen feet to thirty, then forty, before settling at an improbable, structurally questionable fifty. A fiberglass monument to kitsch. A glowing testament to the town’s new, maybe misguided ambition. The night of the vote, the council chambers filled with the kind of crowd usually reserved for bond issues or controversial playground shade structures. Retirees clutched printouts from the internet; teenagers filmed on their phones; th...

Altitude is set to bring one of next year’s most talked-about horror films straight into living rooms, with SHELBY OAKS arriving on DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital on 15 December. The film, already building a devoted following long before its wide release, marks the feature debut of filmmaker and longtime genre commentator Chris Stuckmann, whose transition from critic to creator has been watched with intense curiosity by horror fans. At the centre of the story is a woman tortured by the disappearance of her sister—an absence that has shaped her life and, increasingly, her sanity. As she digs deeper into old memories and abandoned leads, she becomes convinced that the malevolent figure they once blamed for childhood nightmares might not have been imaginary at all. What begins as a search for answers spirals into a feverish fixation, blurring the line between trauma and the supernatural. Led by performances from Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, and Michael Beach, the film has already draw...

From Director Johnny Ma and EP Pablo Larraín comes THE MOTHER AND THE BEAR, a tender, off-beat dramedy about a mother, a daughter, and the chaotic, sometimes absurd ways we try to protect the people we love. The film, which premiered in the Centrepiece section of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, arrives with the support of multi–Oscar nominee Pablo Larraín, whose taste for emotionally sharp, character-driven stories is an ideal match for Johnny Ma’s sensibility. The film centers on Sara, played by acclaimed Korean actress Kim Ho-jung, who rushes from Seoul to icy Winnipeg after her 26-year-old daughter Sumi is left comatose following an accident. Faced with the terrifying possibility of an uncertain recovery, Sara channels her fear into a misguided mission: finding her daughter a future husband—preferably Korean—before she wakes up. Her tool of choice is a dating app, where she catfishes on Sumi’s behalf, stumbling into awkward, funny, and unexpectedly moving encounters. A...

Eugene Jarecki’s The Six Billion Dollar Man arrives at a moment when journalism and institutional power feel more volatile than ever. Premiering as a Special Screening at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the documentary turns its focus toward Julian Assange, spotlighting his release in 2024 and revisiting a story the world has debated for more than a decade. Rather than treating Assange as a historical figure, the film places him firmly in the present, arguing that the stakes surrounding his case are not resolved but escalating.  Jarecki’s approach is expansive and global. The documentary was filmed across multiple regions, tracing the arc of WikiLeaks from its early revelations to the years that followed—years marked by court battles, diplomatic standoffs, constant surveillance, and attempts by various governments to control the narrative. The film incorporates firsthand accounts from journalists, attorneys, public officials, activists, and individuals who interacted with Assange di...

New Line Cinema is once again stepping into the arena, and this time, the stakes for Earthrealm have never been higher. Mortal Kombat II , the follow-up to Simon McQuoid’s 2021 reboot, arrives in theaters and IMAX® in May 2026, promising an even bolder, bloodier, and more lore-rich entry in the long-running video game adaptation saga. McQuoid returns to the director’s chair with a renewed confidence and a stacked creative team, adapting a screenplay by Jeremy Slater ( Moon Knight ) based on Ed Boon and John Tobias’s legendary fighting game series. Where the first film teased a tournament that never came, this sequel dives headfirst into the chaos, and the cast list alone hints at how massive this confrontation will be. Johnny Cage Enters the Fight The loudest cheer from fans may be for the arrival of Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban. Known for his intensity in The Boys and Dredd , Urban brings his signature grit (and surprising comedic chops) to the brash Hollywood martial artist....

Photo credit EPiC- Elvis Presley in Concert Following a rousing world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert has found its global distributors. NEON has acquired U.S. rights to the film, while Universal Pictures Content Group will handle international distribution, with a worldwide theatrical rollout planned for 2026. Described as a “one-of-a-kind cinematic experience,” EPiC brings Elvis Presley back to the stage in a way audiences have never seen before. The film combines newly unearthed archival materials—including unseen footage from Presley’s legendary Las Vegas performances in the 1970s, 16mm reels from Elvis on Tour, and intimate 8mm film from the Graceland archives—with rare audio of Elvis reflecting on his own life and legacy. Produced by Sony Music Vision, Bazmark, and Authentic Studios, EPiC transforms decades-old footage into what Luhrmann calls an “electrifying cinematic odyssey.” The result, critics at TIFF noted,...

Some films wear their influences on their sleeve, while others stitch them into something entirely new. MAR.IA, the latest genre entry from VOID SIGNAL, falls squarely in the latter camp. Equal parts cyberpunk nightmare and revenge horror, the film is finally making its way to U.S. audiences on October 14th, courtesy of Alliance Home Entertainment. It will be available on Digital, DVD, and Blu-ray. At its core, MAR.IA is a story about transformation. Maria Black, a celebrated adult film star, vanishes under mysterious circumstances only to reemerge as something far more dangerous: a cybernetic force of vengeance. What follows is a collision of sci-fi futurism and grindhouse ferocity, culminating in a finale soaked in blood and rage. The film has already carved out a reputation on the festival circuit, playing to packed genre crowds across the globe. Over the course of twelve international festival selections, MAR.IA pulled in a handful of top prizes, including Best Director at Cinefant...

Some heroes wear capes. Others wear spandex. But only one drags around a mop and a whole lot of toxic waste. Cineverse has officially announced that The Toxic Avenger will be sliming his way into homes this fall, and if you’ve been waiting to add this glorious oddball to your collection, the time has finally come. The film, which landed with an unexpected splat of critical acclaim earlier this year, will arrive on digital September 30, 2025, before oozing onto physical media October 28, just in time for Halloween marathons. Director Macon Blair—who has already proven he can blend dark humor with a little pathos in I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore—takes the mop-wielding monster hero and gives him a fresh radioactive glow-up. This version stars Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze, a down-on-his-luck janitor who gets doused in something far worse than bleach and comes out the other side as Tromaville’s most reluctant savior. He’s joined by an all-star lineup including Kevin Bacon (c...

In 1993, Freaked hit theaters with all the subtlety of a neon sledgehammer—and then promptly disappeared. The bizarre, anarchic comedy from directors Alex Winter and Tom Stern barely saw the light of day upon release, only managing a handful of screenings before vanishing from the mainstream. Yet in the decades since, the film has developed a rabid cult following, fueled by late-night cable airings, VHS rentals, and word-of-mouth recommendations from those who discovered its one-of-a-kind blend of chaotic energy, surreal humor, and dazzlingly grotesque practical effects. Now, after years of obscurity, Freaked is getting the restoration and digital release fans have been begging for. For the first time, audiences will be able to experience the film in a pristine presentation that showcases not only its outrageous gags but also the eye-popping production design from a then-up-and-coming Catherine Hardwicke, who would later go on to direct Thirteen and Twilight . Part gross-out comed...

Vertical has set a chilling date for audiences: Dead of Winter will arrive exclusively in theaters on September 26, 2025. Directed by Brian Kirk (21 Bridges, Game of Thrones), the film promises a tense blend of survival horror and psychological drama, built on a story co-written by Nicholas Jacobson-Larson and Dalton Leeb. The film boasts an impressive cast led by Emma Thompson, who also serves as an executive producer. Joining her are Judy Greer, Marc Menchaca, Gaia Wise, Cuan Hosty-Blaney, Dalton Leeb, Paul Hamilton, Lloyd Hutchinson, and Brian F. O’Byrne. Laurel Marsden plays a pivotal role as the kidnapped young woman at the center of the story.  At its core, Dead of Winter is a survival tale wrapped in a snowbound thriller. Thompson plays a grief-stricken loner who loses her way during a blizzard in the Minnesota wilderness. Her search for shelter leads her to a secluded cabin, where she discovers a terrifying scenario: a young woman being held hostage by a desperate couple (G...

Half a century after Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre carved its way into horror history, filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe returns with Chain Reactions, a documentary examining the seismic cultural impact of the 1974 classic. Winner of the 2024 Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema, Chain Reactions blends never-before-seen outtakes with fresh perspectives from five artists whose lives and careers were shaped by Hooper’s film: Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama. Through vivid memories, sensory impressions, and reflections on trauma, Philippe constructs a layered portrait of how a scrappy, low-budget horror film became a global touchstone. The documentary also pays tribute to the shifting ways audiences have experienced Texas Chain Saw—from grainy 16mm prints to battered VHS tapes to the sharpness of digital restoration—each format carrying its own haunting resonance. Critics have called the film “an exploration...

Alongside its unsettling imagery and dark humor, the movie features a supporting turn from Damon Herriman. Behind the camera, Shanks directs from his own screenplay, with production backed by Mike Cowap, Andrew Mittman, Erik Feig, Julia Hammer, Tim Hea...

  In the upcoming horror-thriller GOOD BOY, director Ben Leonberg takes audiences on a chilling ride through the eyes of an unlikely hero—a dog named Indy. Leaving the city behind, Indy and his owner, Todd, move into a long-abandoned country home that harbors more than just memories. As eerie visions and invisible forces begin to take hold, it's clear that something sinister lurks within the walls.

Award-winning filmmaker Connie Field’s latest documentary, Democracy Noir, is making waves on the international film circuit, earning top honors and resonating deeply with audiences concerned about the global erosion of democratic institutions. The film has already won Best Documentary at the Sebastopol Film Festival, Best Human Rights Film at the Chicago International Women's Film Festival, and both Best Documentary and the Impact Award at the Boston Film Festival. It also received the Jury Award at the One World Festival in Prague, and was nominated for the Fact Award at CPH:DOX and the Tim Hetherington Award at Sheffield. At the heart of Democracy Noir is a sobering and incisive look at Hungary under the leadership of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose government has become a global case study in 21st-century authoritarianism. Orbán, praised by many on the far right in Europe and the U.S., including former President Donald Trump and segments of the Republican Party, has spent ov...
