The Brazilian horror Lacuna possesses a new trailer ahead of its release sometime later this year. While it looks great, the trailer is tame compared to the film and does not show that the movie is a real gorefest. Filmed in just two weeks during the pandemic, the film, directed by Rodrigo Lages, centers on a mother-daughter relationship. Sofia’s (Loren Comparato) life is shattered after her mother, Helena (Kika Kalache), has a severe car accident. When her mother returns home, Sofia discovers that her mother is no longer herself and has been possessed by a sinister entity. When doctors can not help, Sofia is forced to seek answers beyond science. Laila Zaid, Guilherme Prates, Priscila Maria, and Charles Fricks co-star in the film that features English subtitles. We will let you know when a release date is announced. TheMovieAgency.com is currently seeking distribution. In the meantime, check out the trailer for Lacuna.

Gerard Johnstone’s latest film, M3GAN, has already made a name for itself with horror fans. After hearing all the buzz, I had to see it for myself. In the movie, which has earned itself the title of “Certified Fresh,” “Gemma, a brilliant roboticist at a toy company, uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a kid’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype — a decision that has unimaginable consequences.” Of course, it doesn’t take long in the movie for M3GAN to begin killing, but let’s be honest; we all saw that coming. In all honesty, while the film is very entertaining, sadly, it is also very predictable. Young actress Violet McGraw performs far beyond her years. She is an excellent combination with Get Out actress Allison Williams, who plays a robotics genius Gemma who completely lacks the motherly

The collaboration with Craig Mazin, our incredible cast and crew, and HBO exceeded my already high expectations,” co-showrunner Neil Druckmann said in a statement. “Now we have the absolute pleasure of being able to do it again with season two! On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog and PlayStation, thank you!” “I’m so grateful to Neil Druckmann and HBO for our

A throwback to the early days of the found footage genre, The Outwaters will open in select theaters this February from Cinedigm and Screambox. “Memory cards unearthed in a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert tell the story of four travelers who vanished during a sun-drenched camping trip. One night, everything changes when the foursome is sent on a mind-bending voyage of unrelenting terror into a world of darkness that no human was ever meant to see.” The trailer teases a visceral film, which began with an award-winning festival run — where it was hailed as one of the year’s scariest movies. Writer-director Robbie Banfitch takes viewers on a descent into madness. “It’s been a longtime dream to make a scary movie,” says Banfitch. “I’m grateful that people will have a chance to watch The Outwaters on the silver screen because we need that.
