Dogs Reign (France, 2026) Official synopsis Léa, a young deaf woman, is approached by Raph and Julien, two insistent men whose ‘friendly’ invitation feels slightly off — yet she accepts it. As the night unfolds, their intentions grow increasingly unclear, and the tension rises. Review Axel Zeltser won Dark Nights Film Fest’s Best Short Film Director Award for Dogs Reign, and for good reason. The short uses horror to shine a light on predatory behavior. Léa (Chiara Corbetta) is approached by two young men (Julien Crampon and Julien Le Lons) with bad behavior on their minds. She takes them up on their offer and invites them to her home. Giving away anything further would be a disservice to future viewers, but suffice it to say that Zeltser, who also wrote the screenplay, has plenty of shocking surprises in store. Corbetta gives an excellent lead performance and Crampon and Le Lons add solid support. The pacing is perfect and the payoff

Dead Media With Dead Media, writer/director Joseph Scrimshaw crafts both a love letter to and a cautionary fable about nostalgia, outdated media, and video store-era fright fare. Maggie (Sammi-Jack Martincak) and her stuck in the past, nineties-obsessed Uncle Heppy (Sam Landman) talk Maggie’s friends Daniel (Antonio Teodoro) and Brenda (Jessica Fenton) into watching a DVD copy of a 1999 horror movie reputed to be cursed if viewers find the correct Easter egg on the DVD. Guess which foursome does just that? Each door in Maggie’s house now becomes a time portal to the sound stage where the film was shot, and the creatures from the film manifest into reality. Dead Media obviously has a big heart behind it and it has good technical aspects, fine performances, and cool monster makeup, but it can feel a bit corny at times. It fared well as a potential film festival crowd pleaser, though, and should also find a good run with its current

The Exit State Official synopsis Set in a United States spiraling toward authoritarian collapse, The Exit State follows a group of Americans fleeing south toward Mexico. Taking refuge in what they believe is a safe house in neutral territory, they soon learn the shelter is anything but safe, and that escape will come at a terrifying cost. Review With The Exit State, director Gabriela Ledesma serves up a fear-fare feature that combines horror and political thriller elements. The film has its share of surprise reveals, which I won’t discuss here. Suffice it to say that Ledesma, working from a screenplay that she cowrote with stars Josh George and Callie Schuttera, does a keen job of ramping up the suspense and delivering the unexpected while getting the film’s political message across. Claire (Schuttera) and Vince (George) are a brother and sister who provide a safe house for American refugees fleeing the state of martial law in the U.S. as they attempt
