Hollywood executives change their minds faster than a demon possesses a vulnerable soul, and DC Studios just experienced a seismic leadership shakeup. Just last week, while the body-horror thriller Clayface landed in multiplexes nationwide, studio insiders revealed that Evil Dead Wrath filmmaker Francis Galluppi had started developing a brand-new Constantine movie. However, one turbulent week later, James Gunn and Peter Safran have officially exited their executive posts atop DC Studios following Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Director Francis Lawrence, who famously guided Keanu Reeves through the rain-slicked underworld of the 2005 cult classic, now expresses renewed hope for Constantine 2. Lawrence Celebrates a New Era at DC Studios Speaking candidly with Collider while promoting The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Lawrence explained how this sudden executive regime change revitalized his two-decade passion project.

Maika Monroe joining the cast of Victorian Psycho instantly sold me on the project. After her phenomenal work in Longlegs, I tracked every update as the November 13 release date approached. The trailers hinted at total madness, but the actual movie blew right past my expectations. Virginia Feito adapted the script directly from her acclaimed novel. Monroe plays Winifred, an eccentric governess taking a job at a remote gothic estate. The family quickly notices that something feels off about her. Beneath her polite exterior lies a dark secret. Winifred is actually a ruthless, cold-blooded 19th-century serial killer. A Powerhouse Horror Ensemble Director Zachary Wigon (Sanctuary) and Longlegs producer Dan Kagan assembled a killer supporting cast. Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho), Jason Isaacs, and Evie Templeton (Wednesday) star alongside Monroe. Additionally, Ruth Wilson (His Dark Materials), Amy De Bhrún (Vikings), and Jacobi Jupe (Hamnet) round out the ensemble. All did well with their portrayals. But Monroe was brilliant. Maika Monroe

Filmmaker Robert Eggers is officially bringing his trademark dread to the holiday season with his medieval creature feature Werwulf. The highly anticipated Focus Features production hits theaters nationwide on Christmas Day. However, when the theater empties, the film’s story will live on as a new fragrance from Heretic Parfum. Primal Horror in 13th-Century England Shedding decades of slick, modern cinematic tropes, Eggers reconstructs the legendary beast from its darkest, most primal folk-horror roots. Set against the bleak, unforgiving landscape of 13th-century England, the narrative follows an ancient apex predator terrorizing the countryside. Consequently, medieval superstition and isolated paranoia quickly spiral into a living, blood-soaked nightmare for the local villagers. Rather than relying on rapid jump scares, the film builds a suffocating, atmospheric dread that immerses audiences directly into the Dark Ages. Powerhouse Ensemble Cast True to his signature style, Eggers assembled an elite ensemble featuring frequent collaborators and acclaimed genre heavyweights. Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads the cast alongside Lily-Rose Depp, reteaming
