When you think of Charles Dickens‘ classic tale, A Christmas Carol, warm cheer and redemption usually come to mind. But leave it to modern horror maestro Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) to remind us that at its core, A Christmas Carol is—and always has been—a chilling Victorian ghost story. Johnny Depp (Cry Baby, Pirates of the Caribbean) takes on the titular miser as Ebenezer Scrooge. However, he’s bringing a dark edge to the centuries-old story. The film’s ominously simple tagline promises: “The name you know. The story you don’t.” The first trailer and images debuted at San Diego Comic Con, giving us a taste of what’s to come. An All-Star Ensemble Cast West isn’t tackling Dickens’ London alone. The director has assembled an absolute powerhouse lineup of genre stalwarts and screen legends. That includes Andrea Riseborough (Possessor) and Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings). They are joined by Tramell Tillman (Severance), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise, Servant), Daisy Ridley

Lock up your livestock and hide your bounties: the award-winning cult-favorite animated short Space Goblins is officially back—and it’s leveling up into a full-length, blood-soaked feature film. Brought to you by MegaCity Media, this bigger, badder, and infinitely messier cinematic reimagining expands the chaotic universe of Gib and Gob, taking independent sci-fi animation into delightfully unhinged, uncharted territory. And get this: it’s directed by Amer Shihab, the same director behind the short film. The Story: Dumb Luck Meets Galactic Chaos At the heart of the madness are Gib and Gob—two alien bounty-hunter brothers emerging from a decade-long hideout. The bad news? The galaxy didn’t get any smarter while they were gone. In fact, it’s devolved into absolute lawlessness. To survive, the duo must face off against monstrous syndicate lords, impossible odds, and their own complete lack of impulse control. Think RoboCop and Total Recall satire smashed into the bleak, gritty future-noir of Dredd (2012)—all dumped into a post-apocalyptic blender of

Meet BUDDY. He’s an aggressively orange, painfully cheerful unicorn. He hijacks your TV screen, weaponizes catchy synth-pop, and forces your kids into state-mandated optimism. Behind the candy-coated facade of the hit kids’ show “It’s Buddy!”, however, there is a zero-tolerance policy for insubordination.
