Praise the Lord and Pass the Bug Spray: The Prehistoric Spider Movie ‘Don’t Move’ Unleashes Its Trailer

If you thought a youth pastor with an acoustic guitar was the scariest thing that could happen on a church retreat, think again. Don’t Move, the upcoming creature feature, pits a pious wilderness trip against an oversized, ancient arachnid, promising a high-octane, web-slinging slaughterhouse. Adapted from the 2020 bestselling novel by James “Murr” Murray (yes, the guy from Impractical Jokers) and Darren Wearmouth, the film turns a routine Ozark outing into a terrifying game of Red Light, Green Light—with massive, fanged consequences. Silent, Sightless, and Starving When a church group’s annual retreat strays off the beaten path in the Ozark woods, members start vanishing. Naturally, the pious finger-pointing begins immediately, with the group placing the blame on Ricky, the local bad-boy troublemaker. The reality, however, is far more hideous. Deep in the thicket lies a labyrinth of thick webs guarded by a prehistoric, vibration-sensitive giant spider. The creature can’t see its prey; however, it feels every single heartbeat, footstep, and

Movie Review: The Shark Thriller ‘Chum’ is Best Left Stranded at Sea

The year 2026 has been flooded with shark cinema. However, the vast majority of these aquatic thrillers are dead in the water long before the end credits roll. Leading the school as arguably the absolute worst entry of the year is Chum, a movie so aggressively tedious that it makes sitting through a bad wedding feel like a luxury getaway. Warning: Spoilers ahead The Plot The nightmare begins with a picture-perfect destination wedding on the sun-drenched coast of Malta. The champagne flows, vows are exchanged, and the newlyweds attempt to put on a brave face for their guests. The festivities take a quick dive into absurdity. An oversized killer shark crashes the party, stranding the group at sea. When open-water survival against an apex predator seems like the main threat, enter Roy (Jim Klock). Roy is a local fisherman. The Captain is unhinged in every sense of the word. Roy isn’t there to rescue anyone. Driven mad by grief, he
