This May, a woman is desperate and injured in the survival thriller Distress Signals, written, directed, and produced by Terence Krey and Christine Nyland. In the film, “When a fall down a steep rock face separates her from her friends, Caroline finds herself stranded. Now, alone and with a dislocated shoulder, she must make her way out of the woods–and contend with how she got there.” In 2020, as the world ground to a halt, we – like everyone else – found ourselves canceling our plans. In our case, that meant shelving the film we’d intended to make that summer, even though we were more restless than ever. Desperate for something to hang on to as the world turned upside down, we briefly considered making a screen movie, but far too much of our lives had already transitioned to zoom, so our conversations turned toward isolation and depression – and the antidotes we craved. We wanted to do something together.

MGM+ and director Jack Riccobono are taking us back to Amityville with the documentary Amytivlle: An Origin Story, which will explore the true story behind the world’s most infamous haunted house tale: the Amityville murders. The project is the first elevated look at every aspect of this wildly layered story about the heinous murder of a family of six that became eclipsed by paranormal controversy. The 1979 blockbuster film, The Amityville Horror, inspired by the book of the same title by Jay Anson, spawned an ever-expanding universe of movies, books, supernatural theories, and horror superfans. But the mass murder behind the hauntings—and its alleged ties to organized crime—left a long trail of questions that have never been fully explored. Rooted in the dark cultural undercurrents of the 1970s, the series features firsthand accounts from witnesses, family members, and former investigators appearing on-camera for the first time. Exclusive archival footage, newly unearthed images, and stunning original photography are woven together into the most

There came a time recently when I began to feel like I’d seen everything, so I broke down and signed up for AppleTV. Another reason is that I really wanted to check out their series “Servant.” The clips we’ve been sharing piqued my interest. But they did not prepare me for what unfolded in front of my eyes, a tension-filled story that builds creepiness and mystery with each episode. It left me hooked, barely able to turn it off. And after I did, it stayed, swimming around in my head for hours. The story follows a husband and wife going through a terrible situation. When wife and mother Dorthy (Lauren Ambrose) hires a mysterious nanny, Leanne (Nell Tiger Free), to care for her and her husband Sean’s (Toby Kebbell) baby, things spiral into chaos. Once Leanne, who is abnormally strange and quiet, arrives, the family tries to go about their daily lives, though a terrible secret hides behind normality. Dorthy’s
