Nazis mess with the wrong man in the action-thriller SISU, which we called “F*cking Fantastic” in our review, and it is out now in theaters! Set in 1944, “during the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu,” this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-person death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.” Written and directed by Jalmari Helander and produced by Petri Jokiranta, SISU stars Jorma Tommila, Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, Onmi Tommila, and Mimosa

Focus Entertainment has just released a new trailer for their upcoming game, Aliens: Dark Decent. The trailer not only teases the game’s plot but also gives us a look at a new breed of Xenomorphs. In Aliens: Dark Descent, “the horrors and wonders of an authentic Alien narrative unfold through a cinematic campaign full of sinister secrets, iconic Xenomorphs, and brand-new threats.

Today, we have a new exclusive clip from the upcoming horror-mystery-thriller from Terror Films and director Julio Maria Martino. Country of Hotels tells the stories of the desperate souls who pass through the doors of 508, a room on the fifth floor of an anonymous, decaying hotel. “We are taken on a surreal and blackly comic journey down its lonely corridors and behind its outdated furnishings and stained surfaces. The story plunges us into the ever-turning carousel of haunted lives who check in and out of this sinister establishment.” Director Julio Maria Martino had this to say about the film: “When we were making Country of Hotels, we worked hard to create an environment which was relentlessly oppressive and claustrophobic, occasionally punctuated by moments of dark humor. An enclosed world in which an unseen, unnamed and mutable threat lurked behind hotel room doors and down long lonely corridors. A threat which might manifest itself suddenly and at any moment. In

Let’s be honest. At some point, every woman becomes aware of her “clock,” the one that ticks away, reminding us that our fertility is almost done and the time to have kids is almost up. Today, Hulu unleashed the psychological horror-thriller Clock from writer-director Alexis Jacknow (AHS), which delves into just that.
