Watch the Trailer for the First All AI Action Fantasy Film, ‘Hell Grind’

The landscape of filmmaking just got a massive, AI-powered shake-up. Following an exclusive industry preview at Cannes this past Saturday, the trailer for Hell Grind has dropped. But it’s not just an action-fantasy flick; it’s a history-making milestone. Directed by Aitore Zholdaskali and co-written by Cannes veteran Adilkhan Yerzhanov, Hell Grindis is the world’s first AI-native feature film produced entirely on the Higgsfield platform. A Portal to the Underworld The story follows four street-smart thieves—Roco, Lulu, Jax, and Rein—whose latest heist takes a supernatural turn for the worse. When Roco accidentally triggers an ancient artifact, Lulu is sucked into a portal to the underworld. The ensuing globe-spanning odyssey takes our leads from a hidden Tibetan temple to the brutal landscapes of feudal Japan. The film frames itself as “Fantasy as tragedy. Action as grief,” promising that, despite its high-tech production, it packs the same emotional punch as a traditional blockbuster. By the Numbers: Precision Meets Efficiency The production stats for

Slices, Sanity, and Satan: A Sneak Peek at ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’ Episode 3

If you’ve been following AMC’s “Certified Fresh” horror anthology The Terror: Devil in Silver, you already know that New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital isn’t exactly a five-star wellness retreat. Star and executive producer Dan Stevens (Abigail, Downton Abbey) has been put through the wringer as Pepper, a working-class mover wrongfully committed to a literal living hell due to a bad temper and worse luck. Ahead of its premiere this Thursday, May 21, on AMC+ and Shudder, a new sneak peek from the third episode promises that things are about to get significantly weirder—and much more chaotic. Episode 103: “Che Guevara” — The Ultimate Asylum Field Trip Nothing says psychological horror quite like an institutional pizza party. In this Thursday’s all-new episode, the baseline level of dread at New Hyde skyrockets. Here is what’s on the menu: -The Gaslighting Continues: The hospital staff flatly denies that Pepper was attacked. This makes him question his own reality. -The Silver Door: A fellow patient

Cathedral: John Carpenter Returns with A New Soundtrack and Companion Graphic Novel

The Master of Horror is back, and this time, he’s trading the director’s chair for a comic book script and a heavy metal guitar riff. John Carpenter has officially announced Cathedral, a massive multimedia project featuring a brand-new studio album releasing this August on Sacred Bones Records, perfectly paired with his first-ever graphic novel dropping August 4 via Storm King Comics. To kick things off, Carpenter and his longtime musical partners-in-crime have unleashed the project’s roaring first single, “Lord Of The Underground,” available to stream right now alongside a gorgeously grim animated visualizer. A Movie For Your Eyes and Ears If you’ve been dying for a new John Carpenter flick (his last traditional feature film was back in 2010), Cathedral is the closest thing you’re going to get. Inspired by a vivid nightmare Carpenter had in 2024, the album isn’t just a collection of cool synth tracks—it is a literal, track-by-track soundtrack to the graphic novel. Each song corresponds to

Sharkula: The Best Worst Shark Movie You Haven’t Seen

Move over, Jaws: The Revenge. Step aside, Sharknado. There is a new king of cinematic trash, and it is swimming straight out of the bargain bin of 2022. Somehow, a cinematic masterpiece swam under our radar a few years ago, but we are here to correct that grave injustice. Introduce yourself to Sharkula. Yes. Sharkula. The Premise (If You Can Call It That) Written and directed by B-movie legend Mark Polonia, this zero-budget masterpiece answers the age-old question: “What happens when Count Dracula decides to turn a great white shark into a vampire?” The plot—and we use that word incredibly loosely—goes like this: Count Dracula’s curse infects a shark, which then starts terrorizing a local tourist town. But wait, it gets better. There is a whole coven of caped, pale vampires hiding out on the docks, actively helping the shark survive. It’s a deadly trail of CGI carnage, terrible green screens, and rubber fins. The Cast The filmmakers didn’t even

Catch-and-Release Nightmare: Anton Sigurdsson’s ‘Refuge’ Explores the Ultimate Fishing Trip from Hell

If cinema has taught us anything, it’s that a group of friends heading into the woods to “mend their fractured bonds” never ends well. Director Anton Sigurdsson (Full Pockets) is driving that point home with his upcoming thriller, Refuge. Slated for an upcoming digital premiere, the film takes a scenic weekend getaway and aggressively turns it into a high-stakes psychological pressure cooker. Unpacking Heavy Baggage in the Wilderness The film follows four old friends who pack up their tackle boxes and head out to a remote fishing spot. All in the hopes of getting a little fresh air and fixing years of distance. Unfortunately, the tranquility is cut short when one of the men—a desperate, grieving father—drops a devastating bombshell. He doesn’t just think his daughter’s disappearance was a tragedy. He’s convinced one of the men sitting across the campfire is directly responsible. In the middle of nowhere, with no cell service and old secrets bubbling to the surface, a
