A Family Finds Themselves Trapped And Terrified In ‘The Night’ Trailer

From director and co-writer, Kourosh Ahari comes the psychological thriller The Night, from the executive producer of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Ahead of its January release, we’ve got the new trailer that teases a dark, unnerving movie. The psychological thriller follows an Iranian couple, Babak and Neda, and their one-year-old daughter, Shabnam. Returning home from a friend’s gathering, Babak drives drunkenly, too stubborn to let Neda drive with a suspended license. When Babak’s driving threatens the safety of the family, Neda insists they stay the night at a hotel. Once they check-in, Babak and Neda find themselves imprisoned, forced to face the secrets they’ve kept from each other. And though the clock moves forward, “the night” never ends. The film features a diverse cast and crew made up of predominantly Iranian immigrants or US-born Iranian-Americans, including Shahab Hosseini, Niousha Jafarian, Leah Oganyan, and George Maguire. Shot on location in the US, The Night recently received a license for theatrical release

Today, we’ve got your first look at Hell Wanted from director Braxton Fannin, a supernatural tale about a man paying for the sins of his youth.

Showrunner Won’t Let Threats Stop “The Boys” Or Its Spin-Off

Amazon’s series “The Boys,” shines a light on the dark side of superheroes. It has scored a solid fan base, but not everyone is happy about the action-packed horror-tinged show. Showrunner Eric Kripke has shared that he’s actually receiving threats now. Kripke recently told Consequence of Sound: “[Regarding the threats], it’s only human nature to have to react to anger or hate directed right at you. I’m not gonna lie and say, ‘No, I think it’s funny.’ It affects me. It troubles me and everything. But I think it’s part of my job to not let it affect the work. And not let it force me to second guess myself and what I’m doing here. So, no, I take a moment, feel appropriately horrified, and then process my way past it. And get back to the work of writing.” He went on to say, “And we have a very specific rule that we try to follow, which is, it was
