Remember when opening a pack of trading cards was the highlight of your week? Last Look is here to ensure you never look at a booster pack the same way again. Producers Eric Martinez and Curt Fulster have just dealt the first hand of their upcoming found-footage nightmare, and let’s say these aren’t exactly holographic Charizards. Unboxing Your Own Demise The film follows a high-profile influencer who stumbles upon a mysterious deck of battle-style collectible cards. But instead of gaining” attack points,” he gains a one-way ticket to a living hell. As he broadcasts his “unboxing” to the world, he discovers that each of the five distinct cards in the deck has a nasty habit of summoning a grotesque, supernatural entity into his very real, very trapped sanctuary. It’s a high-stakes game where the final draw—the titular” Last Look”—promises exactly what it says on the tin. “Jumanji” for the Twitch Generation Directed by A.J. Bennett, the film aims to weaponize

Forget everything you know about the somber, gray world of 17th-century Puritanism. The film Cavendish is set to prove that the witch hunts of 1645 weren’t just about paranoia. They were also the perfect backdrop for an “irreverent and original” action-thriller. Billed as a visceral blend of high-stakes violence and sharp, biting humor, the film aims to subvert the “powerless victim” trope by giving its leading ladies a lot more than just a broomstick to fight back with. The Hunt is On The story kicks off on what should have been a lovely wedding day for a privileged young bride, played by “Yellowjackets” star Sophie Thatcher. Instead of a “happily ever after,” she finds herself slapped with a witchcraft accusation. She is pursued by a relentless witch hunter, portrayed by Joe Alwyn. To survive the ordeal, she’s forced into a begrudging alliance with a sharp-witted poacher, played by Erin Kellyman. Together, this unlikely duo decides that instead of running, they’ll

We are officially thirty days out from the moment the multiverse gets a lot more cynical. To celebrate the one-month countdown, Prime Video has unleashed not one, but two official trailers for the highly anticipated “Spider-Noir”. In a move that honors the 1930s aesthetic, fans can choose to watch the new footage in vibrant, modern color or the “authentic” black-and-white version. This isn’t just a marketing gimmick for the trailer, either. When the show drops, you’ll have the option to stream the entire series in either format to suit your mood for monochromatic misery. The Case of the Web-Slinging P.I. Set against the backdrop of a gritty, Depression-era New York, the series stars Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider) in his first leading television role. He plays Ben Reilly, a weathered and down-on-his-luck private investigator who is struggling to keep his head above water. Haunted by a deeply personal tragedy and forced to grapple with a past he’d rather forget, Reilly finds

If you’re looking for a peaceful family reunion, you’ve come to the wrong movie. Is God Is is a blood-soaked, genre-defying odyssey that proves vengeance is a dish best served with a side of Southern Gothic grit and a dash of pitch-black comedy. Based on Aleshea Harris’ own award-winning play, the film marks her directorial debut—and she isn’t exactly easing into things. She’s coming out swinging with a cinematic cocktail that’s equal parts Spaghetti Western and Greek Tragedy. Hell Hath No Fury The plot follows two sisters, Anaia and Racine, who receive a letter from their long-lost mother. She’s got a horrific backstory and one simple, terrifying request: kill their father. What follows is an epic quest for revenge that moves from the deep South to the California desert. It’s a charged exploration of family trauma where the stakes aren’t just life and death—they’re biblical. An Absolute Powerhouse of a Cast You know a script is good when the call

Move over, Jaws. Step aside, Shazza. There’s a new apex predator in town, and it has a much higher BMI and a significantly worse attitude. The first trailer and poster for Hungry have officially surfaced, reminding you that the “Big Easy” is about to get a lot harder. A “Not-So-Board” Game Despite the title, this is definitely not a live-action adaptation of that Hasbro game we all played as kids (you know the one). Instead, we follow a group of thrill-seeking tourists on a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which is movie-speak for “certain death”—the group ends up off the map and on the menu. They soon find themselves being hunted by a creature that Hollywood has criminally overlooked: the Hippo. The Cast & Creative Muscle Director James Nunn (One Shot trilogy) is at the helm, and he’s brought along some serious talent to get chewed on. The cast fighting to survive

If you walked into Night Patrol (now out on Shudder) expecting a standard creature feature, you likely walked out feeling like you’d been through a sociopolitical meat grinder. While the film sells itself on a “cops vs. vampires” hook, the real horror isn’t the fangs—it’s the relentless, ugly reality of systemic racism that makes “enjoyment” a very complicated word to use here. Predatory Policing Literalized Directed by Ryan Prows (Lowlife), the story follows Xavier (Jermaine Fowler), a Black LAPD officer who left his gang past behind to patrol his old neighborhood. His world fractures when his brother Wazi (RJ Cyler) witnesses a clandestine unit—the titular Night Patrol—murdering a civilian. The “twist” is that this task force isn’t just corrupt; they are vampires. But they aren’t the sexy, gothic kind. These are “vampire-colonizers” (referred to as the Obayifo in West African mysticism) who specifically target Black and impoverished residents, treating the housing projects like a private pantry. The “Racism” Problem The

The fuse is lit when Tim suddenly trades the “World’s Greatest Dad” mug for a kitchen knife, stabbing his wife and stepson and kicking off a gruesome spree.

If you thought your teenage dating life was a horror show, Leviticus is here to make your awkward prom photos look like a walk in the park. After causing a massive stir at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival—and walking away with a prestigious distribution deal from NEON—this queer supernatural thriller is officially set to set theaters ablaze this summer. Forget the slow-burn dread of the Arctic; this is a visceral, “mercilessly upsetting” descent into religious fanaticism in backcountry Australia. Double the Trouble Set in an isolated Australian town where the local pastime seems to be “repressive religious zealotry,” the film follows two star-crossed teens, Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen). When their budding romance is discovered, a botched attempt at conversion therapy (masquerading as a ritual) accidentally unleashes a demonic entity. The twist? This isn’t your average jump-scare monster. The entity takes the form of the person you desire most. Ryan’s chilling warning to Naim—“If you see anything that
