If you think your average Monday is rough, try waking up with total amnesia, a fresh corpse in your bathtub, and half the city’s underworld battering down your door. The new teaser has just dropped for Bad Day at the Office. The turbo-charged action-thriller Bad Day at the Office offers genre fans a front-row seat to pure, unadulterated cinematic chaos.

A Stacked Cast in the Line of Fire Director Chee Keong Cheung has assembled an impressive ensemble cast

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

Get ready to dust off your flannel and crank the cassette player. The Horror Collective and BloodStream are teaming up to bring Douglas Forrester’s acclaimed supernatural thriller Carry the Darkness straight to genre fans this summer. High-School Outsiders vs. Heavy-Metal Hysteria Transporting audiences back to the height of 1993, Carry the Darkness centers on Travis Baldwin, a misunderstood teenage metalhead trapped in the stifling chokehold of the Satanic Panic. When a malevolent, unseen entity begins tearing through his quiet community, local paranoia takes hold. And Travis quickly becomes Public Enemy number one. Hunted by a pitchfork-wielding town while the true predator roams free, Travis must band together with his inner circle to survive the escalating madness before the town’s collective hysteria swallows them whole. Fusing supernatural dread, coming-of-age angst, and small-town conspiracy, Carry the Darkness serves as an atmospheric, nostalgia-soaked love letter to an era defined by The X-Files, Twin Peaks, and midnight heavy metal records.

Along with a batch of five terrifying new demon character posters, the last trailer for Insidious: Out of the Further has officially dropped. And it confirms that the sixth installment leaves the Lambert family’s multi-decade trauma in the rear-view mirror. They are introducing a protagonist with a uniquely dangerous ability. Following 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door, this next chapter shifts focus to Gemma. She’s a single mother played by Amelia Eve (The Haunting of Bly Manor). Gemma and her young daughter (Island Austin) are trying to build a quiet life in Gemma’s childhood home. However, a disturbing encounter reveals a dark gift: Gemma can naturally astrally project into the franchise’s iconic, spirit-filled purgatory. The real threat, however, lies in her unprecedented connection to the entity-ridden realm. Unlike Elise Rainier or the Lamberts, who fought tooth and nail to keep the threshold sealed, Gemma can permanently pull ghastly entities out of the Further and anchor them directly into the physical world.
