Home Invasion Meets Body Horror: Lionsgate Unveils First Trailer for ‘Turning Point’

Home Invasion Meets Body Horror: Lionsgate Unveils First Trailer for ‘Turning Point’

Home invasion movies usually follow a pretty standard script: bad guys break in, innocent family fights back, chaos ensues. But Lionsgate’s upcoming horror-thriller Turning Point is ready to completely flip the genre on its head by asking a much worse question: What if the house you just broke into belongs to a flesh-eating monster? Written and directed by Joshua Wagner (Mimesis), the film has earned an R rating for “violent content, gore, language, and some drug use.” A Home Invasion Gone Very Wrong The nightmare centers on Margot and her partner in crime, a duo of thieves looking for a quick, easy score. Unfortunately for them, they are entirely oblivious to the baseline rules of horror cinema. The two break into a seemingly normal residence. However, they quickly realize they are trapped inside a zombie’s home mid-transition. With the exits blocked and their mutating host rapidly losing his humanity, the criminals become the prey. Their only prayer for survival relies

Star Cameron Bell Talks 'Pinocchio: Unstrung' in Our Interview

Star Cameron Bell Talks ‘Pinocchio: Unstrung’ in Our Interview

Fresh off its screening at Raindance Film Festival—where it casually bagged four major nominations—the latest nightmare from the Twisted Childhood Universe is gearing up to splinter its way into your local cinema. Pinocchio: Unstrung takes the classic fairy tale, douses it in gasoline, and sparks a deliciously dark fire. The story sees Geppetto, played by the legendary Richard Brake (interview), as he gives his grandson, James, a handcrafted wooden doll. Naturally, the kid possesses absolutely zero horror-movie survival instincts and immediately introduces his new wooden bestie to the real world. This innocent show-and-tell triggers a catastrophic domino effect. Pinocchio has a violent moral code. The absolute best way to be a “good boy” is to brutally eliminate anyone he deems “bad”. A Dream Team of Horror Royalty However, to ensure you never sleep soundly again, the filmmakers pulled off a stroke of twisted casting genius by recruiting horror royalty Robert Englund to voice a demonic, insectoid conscience—yes, a nightmare-fueled Jiminy

Black Madala Unveils the Trailer for the Folk Horror 'The Shug'

Black Madala Unveils the Trailer for the Folk Horror ‘The Shug’

Get ready for some deep-rooted, atmospheric dread, because the British countryside is about to get a whole lot meaner. Genre powerhouse Black Mandala has officially unveiled The Shug, an award-winning, haunting new folk-horror film from director Martin J. Pickering (The Only One). Blending supernatural terror with grounded emotional realism, the movie plunges viewers into a chilling modern mythos set against the fractured, bleak landscape of post-Brexit Britain. The most unsettling part? It’s not entirely fiction. The project draws its inspiration from alleged real-life sightings and a recorded interview with a woman who claims to have encountered the legendary “Shug Monkey”—a bizarre cryptid fixture of English folklore. Cryptids, Coors, and Deeply Buried Trauma The Shug delivers on the monster front. However, it uses its creature feature elements to dig into heavy thematic territory, exploring alcoholism, generational trauma, and family breakdown. The film stars Nicholas Clarke, Alice Henley, Mae Sutton, and Dean Kilby. Jack Armstrong, Jason Hall, and Funso Foluso-Henry round out

Texas-Sized Terror and Lovable Losers: ‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Drops This August

Let’s face it: being a werewolf sucks. For reporter Larry Chaney, the plan was simple: solve some mysteries, be a hero, and maybe get a decent headline. Instead, he got bitten.
