Davis Oyelowo Discusses His Role in the Moving Thriller, Newborn
In the modern justice system, thousands of inmates spend 23 hours a day locked in a cell, alone, in solitary confinement. And it is well-documented that this level of isolation—sometimes spanning years—causes irreparable damage to the human psyche. Yet, the practice continues. This haunting reality is the heartbeat of the new film Newborn. From One Prison to Another The story follows Chris, a man who takes the fall for his brother’s crime, unaware that it would cost him a decade of his life. After a confrontation with guards, Chris is thrown into solitary confinement, where he remains for seven harrowing years. When he finally steps back into society, Chris discovers that the “real world” is its own brand of psychological cage. As he struggles to rebuild a life with a family that no longer feels familiar, the lines between his living room and his former cell begin to blur. Newborn is an unflinching look at the trauma of being systematically

VFX Master Marc Smith Talks ‘They Will Kill You’ In Our Interview
Let’s be honest, without special effects, movies would suck. That’s why people like Marc Smith of Craft Apes are so important. Recently, Smith served as the VFX Supervisor on the film They Will Kill You, a balls-to-the-wall must-see! I had the pleasure of discussing both his role on set and how some of the amazing scenes were created, giving us a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the action. You may be wondering what They Will Kill You is all about. Let me fill you in: Zazie Beetz stars as a woman desperate enough for work that she answers a cryptic help-wanted ad for a live-in housekeeper. The location? A gorgeous, ultra-exclusive NYC high-rise. The catch? The residents have a nasty habit of disappearing, and the “co-op board” is actually a demonic cult. When the building goes into lockdown, Zazie has to trade her mop for a machete to fight her way through a “death-trap of a lair before she becomes the evening’s

All Aboard the Soul-Train: “Speed Demon” Brings High-Octane Exorcisms to the Tracks
Forget “Snakes on a Plane”—we’re upgrading to “Demons on a Locomotive.” If you thought Amtrak delays were hell, wait until you see what’s waiting in the dining car of Speed Demon, hitting theaters and digital platforms on May 31, 2026. The film stars Katie Cassidy (Arrow) and the legendary William H. Macy in a supernatural thriller that gives “express service” a whole new meaning. Tickets, Please (And a Priest) When Father Novak and Sister Lu board a standard transport from Montreal to NYC, they were probably just hoping for some legroom and a decent snack cart. Instead, they get Asmodeus, a high-ranking demon with a penchant for possession and a total disregard for the conductor’s schedule. As the train transforms into a runaway bullet of pure evil, the duo must battle a carriage full of possessed passengers. But there’s a twist: with Father Novak sidelined, Sister Lu is forced to confront her crumbling faith and attempt the unthinkable—the first-ever exorcism

Don’t Feed the Models: Neon Greenlights AI-Horror “Mora” from VFX Wizard Sam Evenson
In a world where everyone is worried about AI taking their jobs, Neon is more concerned about AI taking your soul. The indie powerhouse behind Longlegs and Parasite has tapped VFX wizard Sam Evenson to turn his viral short film, Mora, into a full-blown feature nightmare. If you’ve spent any time on the dark side of YouTube, you probably know Evenson from his channel Grimoire Horror, where he’s been traumatizing nearly 200,000 subscribers for years. Now, he’s moving from the small screen to the silver screen for his directorial debut. A “Model” Student of Terror The story follows a struggling, displaced artist who makes the classic mistake of mixing creativity with the Dark Web. After using an AI model trained on “corrupted” dark web imagery, the artist begins to be stalked by a mysterious, malevolent woman. It’s a timely reminder: maybe stick to MS Paint if you want to sleep at night. From Arrakis to Indie Horror Evenson isn’t just

The ‘Clayface’ Trailer Introduces a Gruesome New Face to DC Cinematic Universe
Move over, method actors: there’s a new face in town, and it happens to be every face at once. DC Studios just dropped the trailer for “Clayface,” and from the looks of it, this isn’t your average superhero romp. Slated for an Oct. 23 release, director James Watkins is pivoting away from capes and toward pure, unadulterated body horror. A Skincare Routine Gone Wrong The film stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, a struggling actor whose career—and face—get slashed after a brutal knife attack. Desperate to regain his leading-man looks, Hagen undergoes a “highly experimental” medical procedure. Naturally, because this is a comic book movie and not a Pfizer commercial, things go south. Instead of looking like a young Brad Pitt, Hagen’s cellular structure turns into sentient mud. The trailer, which debuted at CinemaCon, leans heavily into the “ick” factor: Body Horror: We see Hagen in a hospital bed, his face a mess of bandages and blood. The Transformation:

Interview: The Mortuary Assistant – Director Jeremiah Kipp
.Jeremiah Kipp, you may know him as the director of films like Slapface, Black Wake, or The Avant-Gardner. He’s also behind the soon-to-be-released adaptation of the game “The Mortuary Assistant.” And take it for me, the buzz is real. I had the pleasure of watching it and talking with the talented director about his highly anticipated film, and I’d like to share that interview with you now. You can find it below. The movie centers on Rebecca Owens, a mortuary science graduate who takes a night job at River Fields Mortuary. What begins as a routine job soon turns sinister as she faces terrifying supernatural forces. After talking with Kipp, I can tell you this: his dedication to capturing the vibes and lore of the hit game is impressive, as is his excitement. And rightfully so. Some scenes made me recoil, which rarely happens (a very good thing). It also left me considering my options for burial. After you watch

Interview Frankie, Maniac Woman: Director Pierre Tsigaridis and Star Dian Silva
When I sat down to watch the new slasher Frankie, Maniac Woman, a few things became immediately clear. First, director Pierre Tsigaridis—the mad scientist behind the nightmare-inducing Traumatika—is officially allergic to making boring movies. Second, I needed to talk to the film’s star, Dina Silva, immediately, because her performance isn’t just a “breakout”—it’s a home invasion. Lucky for me, the stars aligned. I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing this creative power duo (who actually co-wrote the script together) about their brutal, bat-shit crazy contribution to the genre. Revenge is a Dish Best Served… Brutally Set in the neon-soaked, soul-crushing shallow end of the LA music industry, the film introduces us to Frankie Ramirez (Silva). Frankie is an aspiring singer-songwriter who has officially reached her “limit.” After years of being told she doesn’t “fit the image” and fueled by a volatile cocktail of childhood trauma and industry-mandated insecurity, Frankie finally snaps. But she isn’t heading to a recording booth to

Director Robert Hollocks Talks ‘The Observance,’ Cults, and Love for the Genre in Our Interview
Once in a while, I come across an indie film that truly impresses me, and I find myself thinking about it and its story long after the credits roll. The cult horror thriller The Observance did just that. Featuring a fresh story, one I haven’t seen before (Thank God), the film follows Madison (Kate Dailey). After a tragic accident, Madison is left in a coma. When she does come back, years will have passed, and her family will have changed more than she could ever have guessed. During her coma, her husband and daughter have been sucked into a violent cult. But Madison isn’t giving up without a fight. As for the film’s cast, Daily is joined by legend Ted Raimi, Alec James, Anna Borchert, Bronson Taylor, Darby Cappillino, Jonathan E. Simmons, and more. The film’s director and co-writer, Rob Hollocks, takes us on a dark journey. I was so impressed by The Observance that I knew I had to

Beast of War Director Kiah Roache-Turner Talks Sharks, Gore, and More in Our Interview
One movie you should add to your watch list is the horror/thriller Beast of War. It throws us into the chaos of World War II. The film follows a warship carrying Australian soldiers as they train for their mission. But a sudden, brutal attack by Japanese fighter planes leaves the ship sinking and a handful of survivors stranded on a makeshift raft, floating in a sea of steel, fire, and blood. Their battle with the enemy is just beginning, but a far deadlier one is about to start. Drawn by the smell of blood in the water, an enormous great white shark begins to hunt them, turning their desperate attempt at survival into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. I jumped at the chance to talk with Beast of War‘s writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner, the same director behind the movies Sting and Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, which I saw when they were released. Turner’s enthusiasm for the film is
