Flying Lotus Unleashes Track “Mudhole” From ‘The Furious’

If you had “the return of a fictional, anonymous, cult-classic rap alter ego” on your 2026 bingo card, congratulations. Captain Murphy—the dark, pitch-shifted pseudonym of electronic polymath Flying Lotus (Steven Ellison)—has officially crept back out of the internet shadows. His mission? To drop “Mudhole,” an original, skull-rattling track for Lionsgate’s upcoming martial arts thriller, The Furious, hitting theaters on June 12. Produced alongside Brainfeeder labelmate Little Snake, the track is a textbook definition of a menacing rage record. Built on a cold flow and an absolute bulldozer of a beat, “Mudhole” weaponizes ordinary sounds. That includes a car unlocking or a cartoonish wind whoosh—and strips them of any warmth. To complete the nostalgic trip back to the project’s 2012 roots, the track features visuals by longtime Adult Swim animator Adam Fuchs (aka Lilfuchs). This creative mind helped forge the Captain’s original, occult-tinged iconography. A Sonic Onslaught for a Perfect 100% Masterpiece “Mudhole” is the ultimate sonic companion for The Furious.

'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' Is Getting a Rotoscoped New Film

MoviesNews

Curry Barker Promises a “Deeply Uncomfortable” and Very Different ‘Texas Chainsaw’ Reboot

Just when you thought the horror genre had officially run out of gas for its power tools, rising director Curry Barker is stepping up to the chopping block. The filmmaker is teasing a fresh, character-driven vision for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise that promises to be grounded, brutal, and—most importantly—deeply uncomfortable. In other words, he wants to make Chainsaw feel like a genuine nightmare again, rather than just another obligatory IP cash-grab. Making Audiences Care Before the Carnage Speaking with Variety, Barker revealed that his primary mission is to make viewers actually give a damn about the fresh meat before the buzz starts. Instead of serving up the standard roster of unlikable horror tropes destined for the meat hook, Barker wants audiences genuinely invested in the characters trapped alongside Leatherface and the Sawyer clan. The logic? “If they do die brutally,” Barker noted, “we’ll actually be sad that they died.” Imagine that: emotional stakes in a slasher movie. Barker is
