The new trailer for Shark Bait (aka Jetski) proves it’s not safe to go in the water. Altitude Films has taken to social media to share the trailer for the new survival-thriller film directed by James Nunn (Tower Terror). “The film follows a group of spring-breakers enjoying a weekend in Mexico. After a big night of partying on the beach until dawn, the friends steal a couple of jetskis and take them out to sea, but end up in a horrific head-on collision. After one of the jetskis sinks, the group finds itself stranded two miles from land on one remaining, broken-down jetski and struggling with a badly injured friend. With no clear way home and predators circling in the choppy waters below, the true horror begins.” Holly Earl, Jack Trueman, Malachi Pullar-Latchman, Catherine Amy Hannay, and Thomas Michael Flynn star in the action-packed movie produced by Andrew Prendergast and Chris Reed. 👀They're gonna need a bigger Jet Ski!🦈 Check

You Won’t Be Alone, starring Noomi Repace (Lamb, Prometheus), which is equally stunning as it is unnerving, is out now in theaters. The folk horror film is “Set in an isolated mountain village in 19th century Macedonia, the film follows a young girl who is kidnapped and then transformed into a witch by an ancient spirit. Curious about life as a human, the young witch accidentally kills a peasant in the nearby village and then takes her victim’s shape to live life in her skin. Her curiosity ignited, she continues to wield this horrific power to understand what it means to be human.” Australian-Macedonian writer-director Goran Stolevski makes his feature debut with You Won’t Be Alone that’s already being hailed a “masterpiece” by critics. It also stars Alice Englert, Anamaria Marinca, Cotta, Félix Maritaud, and Sara Klimoska. Get your tickets now for You Won’t Be Alone, from Focus Features.

Two Roman soldiers saunter up and proceed to take the biggest of info dumps all-over the place… thus are we introduced to the atrocities Emperor Gaius “Caligula” Caesar has been committing since taking control, and thus begins 1981’s Caligulasploitation fracas, Caligula and Messalina. Following that we get things started in the tackiest way possible as Caligula has consensual sex with his sister, before we segue into a softcore orgy… but bear with me, things are about to go off the rails in a fantastic way… See, Caligula and Messalina is directed by none other than Bruno Mattei (Rats: Night of Terror, and Shocking Dark, to name but a few… ), and one thing ol’ Bruno digs is stock footage (I’m looking at you Hell of the Living Dead) and he uses it here to spectacularly ridiculous effect with large patches of this film being culled from 1961’s The Colossus of Rhodes, and to say it was integrated seamlessly would be

One of this writer’s favorite series happens to be Paramount+’s supernatural horror show “Evil.” I’m happy to report that it has just scored its season three premiere date and a new teaser trailer. Starring Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi, “Evil“ is “a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions, and hauntings. Their job is to assess if there is a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.” Season two of “Evil” ended with a cliffhanger on the day that David was ordained as a man of the cloth. That same day Kristen came to him begging for him to hear her confession, revealing the secret she had been hiding, that she’d killed serial murderer Orson LeRoux, and

Obsession drives the new psychological thriller If I Can’t Have You, from directors Matt Santia and Peter Poulos. In the film, a psychologist discovers that obsession comes in many forms.

Starring Tennille Taraszkiewicz, Todd Calvin De Pew, Matt Santia, Brian Boynton, Mandy Logsdon, and Harley Wallen is now available from Midnight Releasing.

South African offering Wesens (2020) is one of the more thoughtful found footage features in recent memory, focusing on the single-day investigation by four intelligence agents of a mysterious, unidentified object that fell from the sky onto remote farmland. Morné Visser plays the businesslike, skeptical head of the foursome; Pietie Beyers portrays a more open-minded character who becomes mesmerized by the dark, egg-shaped object; and Conradie van Heerden and Randy Januarie round out the group as assistants. As the men record their findings on what seems to be Super 8mm and 16mm film, the object begins to have weird, and possibly dangerous effects, on them. Wesens is wonderfully shot by cinematographer Tom Purcell, who thankfully avoids much of the shaky-cam trappings of the found-footage subgenre. Writer/director Derick Muller invests his science fiction film with elements of folk horror and psychological horror, and with the aid of his crackerjack cast members, serves up a thought-provoking film that addresses historical and political

Along for the ride to that great dust-ball are Leto’s son Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother, the Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), the Duke’s concubine and a Bene Gesserit witch who’s sisterhood possess vast

From Buffalo 8 comes director Gabriel Theis‘ indie film The Curse of Professor Zardonicus, part mystery, part horror. In the film, “When college student, Greg, is searching for a thesis topic he finds an interesting story on Facebook, another student, Darren, explains to Greg that he has been assaulted on campus and wishes to tell his story through a documentary. Darren recruits Greg to help him prove the existence of an urban legend, Professor Zardonicus. Greg agrees as he needs to complete his thesis project. As the two go on their journey, it is revealed that Darren’s story is wildly imaginative and Greg fails to believe him. In the end, we see that Darren lied about his story for attention. However, when Darren and Greg are out getting the last of their footage, they are attacked and Darren mysteriously disappears. Is Professor Zardonicus real after all?” Starring Alec White (Out of Nowhere), Gabriel Theis (Nitelife), and Cat Thomas (“7 Seeds),
