Amazon MGM Studios and Working Title Films have announced that the upcoming family comedy-mystery, The Sheep Detectives, is set to arrive in theaters on May 8, 2026. Based on the novel Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann, the film follows George (Hugh Jackman), a shepherd who spends his evenings reading detective stories to his flock under the impression that they cannot understand a word. However, when a mysterious incident disrupts the peace on the farm, the sheep reveal they have been paying close attention. Forced into action, the flock begins to investigate human suspects and follow clues, proving themselves to be a surprisingly brilliant group of crime-solvers. The production features a high-profile creative team, including director Kyle Balda and screenwriter Craig Mazin. Behind the scenes, the project is produced by Lindsay Doran, Tim Bevan, and Eric Fellner, with executive producers including Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The ensemble cast is equally impressive, featuring a ma...

  Johannes Roberts, the director who famously turned the ocean into a claustrophobic death trap in 47 Meters Down, is trading shark-infested waters for a sun-drenched Hawaiian villa in his latest horror-thriller, Primate. Scheduled for release on Blu-ray and DVD on April 21st, the film follows Lucy (Johnny Sequoyah) as her tropical homecoming turns into a desperate struggle for survival. What begins as a relaxing reunion with friends quickly spirals into "terrifying chaos" when the family’s exceptionally intelligent chimpanzee, Ben, enters a savage, rabid frenzy. With her father away and the group trapped in their remote island estate, the once-trusted pet becomes a lethal predator, transforming a luxury paradise into a bloody prison. The home media release, distributed by Paramount Pictures, offers an extensive look behind the curtain of this "cinematic nightmare." Fans can dive into a full-length commentary track featuring Roberts and producer Walter Hamada, or ex...

After nearly a decade of supernatural mysteries, Demogorgons, and Eighties nostalgia, the definitive physical collection of Hawkins’ history is finally coming home. Arrow Films, in partnership with Netflix, has officially announced that Stranger Things: The Complete Series will be released on Blu-ray and stunning 4K UHD this summer. Fans can return to the Upside Down when the full box set launches on July 27 in the UK and July 28 in the US and Canada. Pre-orders are live now for what is being described as the ultimate tribute to the cultural phenomenon. For the first time in the show's history, every single chapter, from the 2016 disappearance of Will Byers to the record-breaking 2025 series finale, will be housed in a single collection. “We always dreamed that Stranger Things could be owned in its entirety,” creators Matt and Ross Duffer said in a joint statement. “Not just as a collector’s set, but as a way to preserve the show for decades to come.” The release follows a historic...

The 1994 cult classic The Stöned Age is joining the Vestron Video Collector’s Series as entry #38. Lionsgate Limited is releasing the Blu-ray debut on April 20th, the perfect date to celebrate a movie that may not have invented but certainly embraces the "one wild night" stoner comedy vibe. I first saw The Stöned Age back in high school, not long after discovering Dazed and Confused. At the time, I will be honest, I dismissed it. I wrote it off as another movie trying to capture the same 70's nostalgia vibe, cruising around, chasing girls, and killing time with friends. But over the years, I'd revisit it from time to time, and each time it hit a little differently. What I'd originally written off as just another copycat actually turned out to have its own thing going on. It is rougher around the edges, a little louder, and full of a particular kind of Southern California troublemaking. Eventually, it clicked for me that the film was not trying to be Dazed and Conf...

Getty Images for Free Press Look, no matter where you fall politically... left, right, or somewhere in between, there’s one principle that should matter to everyone: a free society depends on a press that isn’t beholden to the people in power. The job of journalists is to question authority and hold leaders accountable, not echo whatever those leaders want the public to hear. That’s why the protests organized by Free Press during the Academy Awards have caught people’s attention. This weekend, a mobile billboard circling the Dolby Theatre is taking a jab at a proposed $110 billion merger involving Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery. The protest is designed to be silly, sure, but the underlying concern is serious: critics worry that a deal this big could reshape the media landscape in ways that make the press less independent, not more. At the center of the controversy is David Ellison and the broader consolidation effort around Warner Bros. Discovery. If everything comes toget...

Lionsgate has released a skin-crawling new clip titled “I Hate Rats” from the upcoming horror film DO NOT ENTER, which is set to deliver a high-stakes, claustrophobic nightmare when it hits theaters, digital, and on-demand platforms on March 20, 2026. Based on the acclaimed book Creepers by David Morrell and directed by Marc Klasfeld, the film follows a group of thrill-seeking urban explorers known as the "Creepers" as they attempt to livestream from New Jersey’s abandoned Paragon Hotel. The newly released scene showcases the intense physical and psychological toll on the lead characters, including Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, Francesca Reale, Shane Paul McGhie, and Laurence O’Fuarain, as they navigate a narrow, rusted drainage tunnel only to be swarmed by a massive flood of rats. This frantic scramble for safety highlights the film's R-rating for bloody violence and language, as the characters struggle to shield themselves from the deluge of vermin before a weary charac...

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. The film follows Detective Chris Raven, played by Pratt, who finds himself in a digital nightmare when he is accused of murdering his wife. In a cruel twist of irony, he must stand trial before an advanced A.I. Judge, a system he once championed—portrayed by Ferguson. Raven is given a mere 90 minutes to argue for his life and convince the machine of his innocence. Directed by visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov, known for his work on Wanted an...

Breaking Glass Pictures is revving up for a high-octane season with the upcoming release of Trucker, an explosive action-horror thriller set to debut across major VOD platforms on March 10, 2026. 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. After being nursed back to health by a mysterious benefactor, the grieving father transforms his trauma into a brutal, white-knuckle campaign of vigilante justice against the reckless teens responsible for the crash. The film boasts a seasoned ensemble cast featuring Katherine Gibson (Devil’s Game) and industry veteran Jim Palmer, known for his work in iconic franchises such as Terminator 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy. Round...

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 ...

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).

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...
