We’ve got an exclusive in which the family is attacked by a stranger following a road rage-induced event. In Tailgate (aka Bumperkleef), Hans, his wife, and two young children hit the highway on a trip to visit family.

New Fright Filled Trailer Arrives For Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Demonic’

We’ve got the new fright-filled trailer for Neill Blomkamp‘s highly-anticipated horror film, Demonic, in theaters this August. From the director of District 9, Elysium, and Chappie, comes Demonic, in which “A young woman unleashes terrifying demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed in this horror-thriller.”. Carly Pope (Elysium), Chris William Martin (The Age of Adaline, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, TV’s “The Vampire Diaries”), and Michael Rogers (TV’s “Siren”, “The Blacklist”, “Supernatural”) star in this supernatural horror. Here’s a fun fact: The film uses a patent-pending new method of using volumetric capture (a three-dimensional video technology that turns actors into geometric objects.). The amount of volumetric capture in Demonic is the most ever used in a feature film to date. IFC Midnight will release Demonic in theaters and On Demand and Digital on August 20, 2021.

Amazon Celebrates Success Of ‘The Tomorrow World’ With New Killer Poster

To celebrate the success of The Tomorrow War, Amazon has teamed up with Aldis Hodge’s (Brother of The Tomorrow War star Edwin Hodge and Star of One Night in Miami) artist collective, 9B Collective, to create an out of this world poster (above) featuring the film’s main cast. 9B Collective’s Kevin Tong created the final image saying: “Amazon’s THE TOMORROW WAR is at its core, a story about everyday people from all walks of life coming together to fight against an overwhelming threat. The part in the film that best exemplifies that is the portal because it is both a literal and figurative doorway to salvation and everyone goes through it and emerges at the same time, right into the action. The themes of diversity and using a doorway to drop into danger definitely informed this poster. To heighten that sense of danger and to create a stronger feeling of motion, I chose to make the direction of falling diagonal
