Katz (The Haunting of Bly Manor) comes the gripping new horror movie Azrael, featuring an all-star cast that includes Ready or Not’s Samara Weaving and Natathan Stweart-Jarrett (Candyman 2021).

Azreal is a dark tale of survival and sacrifice in a world where no one speaks. A mysterious, devout community lives in the forest, but there is a price for their existence. A woman, Azrael (Samara Weaving), is set to be an unwilling sacrifice to appease an ancient evil that resides deep within the wilderness. But she won’t give up without a fight. The film sees Weaving unite with writer Simon Barrett (The Guest, You’re Next). Dan Kagan (California King), Dave Caplan (Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), and Simon Barrett are producers.

Movie Review: Longlegs Casts an Unsettling Shadow on the Genre

Movie Review: Longlegs Casts an Unsettling Shadow on the Genre

One of the year’s biggest movies, writer-director Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs, starring Nicolas Cage, is now on VOD. Here’s your warning: There are some spoilers ahead in this review of Longlegs. The movie centers on Harker (Maika Monroe). She’s a gifted rookie FBI agent pursuing an investigation into a series of terrifying murders where whole families are wiped out. As she delves more deeply, the case takes a shocking turn. A horrifying truth is revealed that connects Harker to the killer in a way she never could have predicted. Maika’s Harker is a strange character; she’s reserved and slightly off. She seems out of place wherever she is. And it is, on some level, a bit psychic. Speaking of characters, Nicolas Cage has had some odd roles, but nothing like in this film. He’s very unsettling but, unfortunately, not quite scary as the villain in the movie. The pacing is pretty slow. Don’t jump into the movie expecting a ton of
