Visions, Vices, and Voices: David Howard Thornton Speaks in Michael Pickle's The Dead Place'

Visions, Vices, and Voices: David Howard Thornton Speaks in Michael Pickle’s The Dead Place’

High school is usually a nightmare of social hierarchy and exams, but for Isaac, the horror is a lot more literal. Writer/director Michael Pickle makes his feature debut with The Dead Place, an indie supernatural thriller that aims to prove some ghosts are harder to shake than a bad reputation. The film makes its digital debut on the BloodStreamTV streaming service on June 1, 2026, followed by a wide TVOD release on August 5. A Very Crowded Headspace Isaac (Idris Veliu) is a high school senior with a serious boundary issue: he can’t stop seeing dead people. Naturally, this makes him the campus outcast and creates a “fun” level of friction at the dinner table. His only ally is Katharine (Lexi Graves), a paranormal enthusiast who is determined to help him navigate his spectral sightings. However, things take a sharp turn into the demonic when the “New Kid” arrives. This mysterious stranger isn’t just looking for the cafeteria—he’s pushing Isaac

The 'Nesting' Trailer Turns Motherhood into a Psychological Nightmare

The ‘Nesting’ Trailer Turns Motherhood into a Psychological Nightmare

If you thought the scariest thing about a newborn was the 3:00 AM diaper changes, think again. Breaking Glass Pictures has announced the North American release of Nesting, a haunting psychological thriller from director Chloé Cinq-Mars that gives “sleep training” a terrifying new meaning. Home (Un)Sweet Home Nesting (French with English subtitles) follows Pénélope (Rose-Marie Perreault), a new mother who is dealing with the standard “bundle of joy” package: postpartum depression, crushing sleep deprivation, and the lingering trauma of her sister’s death. As the boundary between dreams and reality begins to dissolve—as it tends to do when you haven’t slept since the mid-2020s—Pénélope falls into a paranoid spiral. It’s an intimate, suffocating look at identity and mental health that suggests the most dangerous thing in the house isn’t the unanchored bookshelf, but the fragility of the human mind. Award-Winning Pedigree This isn’t just another jump-scare flick; it’s a critically acclaimed slow-burn. After making its World Premiere at the Fantasia Film

Dinner is Served: The Asylum Unleashes The 'Shark Thrash' Trailer

Dinner is Served: The Asylum Unleashes The ‘Shark Thrash’ Trailer

If you thought the worst thing about a flash flood was the property damage, The Asylum is here to remind you that it could always be worse. Much worse. The kings of the “mockbuster” have officially released the trailer for Shark Thrash. It’s their new survival thriller that proves the only thing more dangerous than a natural disaster is a beast with teeth. High Tide, Low Survival Rate The premise is classic Asylum gold: a sleepy, touristy beach town gets hit by a storm so massive it makes a hurricane look like a light drizzle. As the waters rise, a vacationing family finds itself trapped. But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just a plumbing issue. The floodwaters have brought a “shiver” of sharks directly onto the town’s streets. It’s a “surf and turf” situation where you are the turf, and the sharks are very, very, very, very hungry. The trailer brings a treasure trove of toothy goodness. Watch as the

First Look: “Twisted Metal’s” Anthony Mackie is Back Behind the Wheel for ‘Barracuda’

Highland Film Group has officially shifted into high gear, locking down a massive haul of international distribution deals for the high-octane action thriller Barracuda. With a cast that could successfully defend the multiverse and a director who knows his way around a visual trip, the film is currently burning rubber through production in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The Drivers and the Mechanics Leading the charge is Anthony Mackie (Captain America himself), joined by Dafne Keen Fernández (reunited with her fellow Marvel alum after a summer spent making Deadpool & Wolverine look easy). Rounding out the ensemble are Steven Bauer (Breaking Bad), Anthony Del Negro, and Don Worley. Behind the lens, Neil Burger (Limitless, The Illusionist) is directing a script by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes. If Burger’s previous work is any indication, expect this chase to look as sleek as the vintage car it’s named after.

Three Generations of Scream Queens Team Up for 'Last Chance Motel'

Three Generations of Scream Queens Team Up for ‘Last Chance Motel’

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when the most famous “Final Girls” in cinema history stop running and start directing? The Horror Collective has the answer. The distributor has officially nabbed the worldwide rights to Last Chance Motel, a high-concept slasher that is less of a movie and more of a “Horror Avengers” assembly. Parent company Studio Dome is currently introducing the film to international buyers at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it’s screening as part of the prestigious Fantastic Galas. The Ultimate Final Girl Crossover This isn’t just another desert slasher; it’s a multi-generational summit of horror icons. Directed, written by, and starring Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, 5, and the Rob Zombie entries) and Scout Taylor-Compton (Laurie Strode in Zombie’s Halloween), the film unites three eras of survival: Heather Langenkamp, the original Nancy Thompson who survived Freddy Krueger, joins the fray. Monica Keena (Freddy vs. Jason), Shane West (Salem), and Sierra McCormick (The Vast of Night) also star.

The Ultimate Debate Hits the Big Screen: Lauren LaVera to Star in 'Man or Bear'

The Ultimate Debate Hits the Big Screen: Lauren LaVera to Star in ‘Man or Bear’

It was the social media hypothetical that launched a million think-pieces and an endless cycle of discourse: If you were alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a man or a bear? That viral question has now been transformed into a survival thriller titled, fittingly enough, Man or Bear. And it is heading to Cannes this week to launch sales. The “Final Girl” vs. The Great Outdoors Leading the film is Lauren LaVera, who has rapidly become a genre icon as Sienna Shaw in the Terrifier franchise. Swapping Art the Clown’s supernatural sadism for a more grounded (but equally terrifying) wilderness nightmare, LaVera stars as Alex. Alex meets a male hiker conspicuously missing gear (a red flag). He insists on tagging along; however, his behavior shifts from “awkward” to “erratic.” Alex is forced to choose between her social conditioning and her survival instincts. All while a literal apex predator looms in the shadows. A Pedigree of Pure Horror The

Two New Clips from 'Is God Is' Released to Celebrate Mother's Day

Two New Clips from ‘Is God Is’ Released to Celebrate Mother’s Day

Forget the brunch reservations and the last-minute bouquets. This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating a different kind of maternal bond—the kind that involves a dying wish, a gallon of gasoline, and a very specific request for homicide. We’re talking about Is God Is. To mark the holiday, two new clips for Is God Is have officially dropped, proving that while “Mother knows best,” she also knows how to hold a grudge. A Family Reunion Written in Blood If you were looking for a heartwarming tale about healing old wounds over potato salad, keep walking. Is God Is isn’t interested in your feelings; it’s interested in your femoral artery. This blood-spattered, genre-bending odyssey proves that vengeance is a dish best served with Southern Gothic grit and a side of pitch-black comedy so dark you’ll need a flashlight to find the exit. Based on Aleshea Harris’ award-winning play, the film marks her directorial debut—and she isn’t exactly “easing” into the director’s chair. She’s

Movie Review:  Exorcismo: Defying A Dictator & Raising Hell In Post-Franco Spain Boxset - Severin

Movie Review: Exorcismo: Defying A Dictator & Raising Hell In Post-Franco Spain Boxset – Severin

After the Franco dictatorship ended ‘round about the mid ‘70s, Spanish cinema found themselves with a new freedom, through which filmmakers could now express themselves via tales of sin n’ Satan (and death… lots of it) all over that silver screen! Recently, Severin boxed up a selection of those fearless flicks (and a doc to bring us all up to speed on the genre)… so why not dip our terror toes into Exorcismo: Defying A Dictator & Raising Hell In Post-Franco Spain! Things kick off with that aforementioned documentary, Exorcismo: The Transgressive Legacy of Clasificada ‘S’ from Director Alberto Sedano. Exorcismo takes the viewer on a journey through just what we can expect from the features contained in this box-set (bet you couldn’t have guessed that one), and gives us both a historical understanding of the heavily censoring of filmmakers work under the regime of Francisco Franco, as well as the unbridled freedom they received after Franco’s death in 1975,

The Trailer for the Dark Comedy ‘Over Your Dead Body’ Sees A Marriage Put to the Test

Marriage counseling usually involves a therapist and a couch. However, for Dan and Lisa, it involves a secluded cabin and a fight to the death. Over Your Dead Body, the latest dark comedy thriller from IFC, puts a lethal spin on “working through things.” This R-rated bloodbath just dropped its first red-band trailer, promising a riotous mix of marital spite and high-stakes survival. A Romantic Retreat (with Shotguns) Jason Segel (Shrinking) and Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) star as a miserable couple attempting a “romantic reset” at a remote cabin. The honeymoon phase is long dead; now, they want each other to follow suit. Dan’s plan involves a speedboat and a watery grave, while Lisa prefers a more direct, shotgun-heavy approach. Their mutual murder plots are rudely interrupted when a crew of actual criminals crashes the weekend. Suddenly, the toxic duo must decide whether to save their marriage or just their own skins. The trailer showcases the duo practicing “concerned
