Sydney Sweeney is on an absolute tear right now—fresh off her performance in The Housemaid (now available on Starz and Prime Video), the star is locking down her next major genre project. A Trip to Sleepy Hollow Sony Pictures has won a competitive bidding war for Hollow, a high-concept feature film adaptation of the upcoming gothic novel by Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines). Sweeney is officially attached to produce and star in the film, while Beer will write the screenplay and direct. If you think you know The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, think again. This isn’t your middle-school English class’s Headless Horseman story. Told from the perspective of Katrina Van Tassel (the role famously played by Christina Ricci in Tim Burton’s 1999 classic), Hollow reframes the iconic heroine. Rather than serving as a passive romantic trophy for Ichabod Crane, Katrina is thrust into the center of a dangerous mystery and a seductive, supernatural love triangle. The project is being

What’s worse than an awkward weekend intervention? An intervention crashed by an ancient, blood-sucking Irish vampire. That is the delightfully chaotic premise facing the characters of Feed, a brutal new horror thriller from Saban Films. You can peek through your fingers at the official, blood-soaked trailer below. Grief, Guts, and a Soul-Crushing Choice The story follows Orla, whose well-meaning friends stage a weekend getaway to help her process her overwhelming grief. Unfortunately, things take a catastrophic turn when Orla’s blood accidentally awakens the Dearg-Due, a legendary, ancient vampire pulled straight out of Irish folklore. As the creature systematically infects her inner circle and shatters their minds, it presents Orla with a truly horrific ultimatum: become the vampire’s next host to be supernaturally reunited with her deceased family, or slay the monster and lose them forever. Talk about a toxic ultimatum. Cast and Crew Behind the camera, Marco Van Belle pulls double duty, having written and directed the film, with Jacqueline

If you spent the late 2000s screaming into a headset in a Rust lobby, your cinematic moment has arrived. Paramount Pictures’ upcoming Call of Duty film has officially chosen its theater of war. It’s heading straight for the franchise’s most beloved timeline. During a “Call of Duty in Culture” panel at NYC’s Fanatics Fest—originally meant to hype the upcoming October launch of Modern Warfare 4—director and co-writer Peter Berg (Lone Survivor) dropped a massive flashbang on the audience. He confirmed that the highly anticipated movie will be set entirely within the Modern Warfare universe. The Sheridan & Berg Loadout Plot details have been locked in a classified vault since the film was first announced in September 2025. What we do know is that the script is being penned by Taylor Sheridan, behind “Yellowstone” and “Sicario.” Pair Sheridan’s gritty realism with Peter Berg’s explosive directorial style, and the film is practically guaranteed to be 120 minutes of tactical reloads and jaw-clenching

If you think fleeing a violent ex is hard enough, try doing it while the entire continent of Australia is literally on fire around you. Award-winning director Al Kalyk is making his feature debut with Cruel Hands.

It gives us a taste of the smoke-filled nightmare to come. A Double Dose of Terror Set during Australia’s catastrophic 2019 “Black Summer” bushfires, the story follows Maria (Mavournee Hazel) and her 12-year-old son Dai (Diesel La Torraca). They are fighting to escape her abusive husband, Jason (Josh McConville). Naturally, things get worse. Unstoppable wildfires rage across the region, making emergency services completely useless.

The Potter family; Harry (Larry Cohen regular Michael Moriarty, The Stuff) and Anne (former Charlie’s Angel Shelley Hack) along with their children Harry Jr. (Noah Hathaway, Battlestar Galactica, The Neverending Story) and Wendy Anne (Jenny Beck, the ‘80s V franchise) move into their new abode; an apartment building in San Francisco (though this was filmed in Italy… though we do get a fun matte painting of the Golden Gate bridge). As most apartment buildings in films are, this domicile is filled with crazy characters (besides Moriarty) such as Eunice St. Clair… a feisty elderly witch (the original Lost in Space’s June Lockhart… played in younger form by her daughter Anne… who was also in Battlestar Galactica) and her pet mushroom creature, a yuppie couple (real-life married duo Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live’s Brad Hall), a swinger (Sonny Bono of all people), a military/big game obsessed health nut (WKRP in Cincinnati’s Gary Sandy)… and an evil Troll named Torok

You hate your job and just want to quit without consequences? That’s pretty much what The Green Light is all about. Touted as a psychological horror, you take on the role of Fred, a man who wants to be an artist but is stuck working a dead-end office job. The green light of a lighthouse calls to him to just walk away from his job and answer its call, along with the voice of a mysterious man on a radio. I should say right off the bat, The Green Light is a short game, less than half an hour long depending on how you play. It’s impressive that it was all done by one dev, waleedzo, but I feel that Take It! Studio let him down with the port to console. Right away, there are issues with the game’s volume; it’s way too damn loud! The only option to adjust the volume is the Master Volume, which makes Fred’s dialogue
