POV Action-Thriller ‘Bad Day at the Office’ Drops Two Explosive New Clips

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. Action Xtreme has unleashed two brand-new clips from its upcoming, turbo-charged action-thriller Bad Day at the Office, offering genre fans a front-row seat to pure, unadulterated cinematic chaos.

Ancestry Test Reveals a Filmmaker’s Grandfather Was Charles Manson: Watch the Documentary Now

When 26-year-old actress and filmmaker Sophia Maddox got her routine ancestry test results back, she wasn’t greeted by distant European royalty or a lost cousin in Cleveland.

Dive into Terror: ‘The Devil’s Mouth’ Drops New Clips Ahead of This Week’s Prime Video Premiere

Just when you thought summer movies had exhausted every possible way to make you terrified of open water, The Devil’s Mouth is here to prove that staying inside a dark, flooding cave isn’t much safer. Ahead of its streaming debut this Wednesday, July 29, Prime Video has dropped new clips. The fresh footage teases a pitch-black, suffocating fight for survival where oxygen is low, and the local marine life has zero hospitality. A Cave Dive from Hell The survival thriller follows five young friends setting off on one last sun-drenched adventure along Thailand’s coast. Their grand finale? A guided swim through a sprawling, labyrinthine cave system known ominously as The Devil’s Mouth. Unsurprisingly, the excursion goes south fast. A freak storm from the previous week completely flooded the underground waterways with seawater. Most of the displaced sea life didn’t survive the sudden environment swap. However, one massive, hyper-aggressive predator adapted just fine. Trapped in pitch-black, narrow, submerged tunnels with a
