New 'Last Look' Trailer Teases a Found Footage Nightmare and a Deadly Game

New ‘Last Look’ Trailer Teases a Found Footage Nightmare and a Deadly Game

If you think losing a game of Uno destroys friendships, wait until you see what happens when the deck plays back. Floating Rock Productions has officially unleashed the final trailer for its highly anticipated indie horror-thriller, Last Look. Pitching itself as a wicked, claustrophobic hybrid of “Jumanji meets Paranormal Activity,” the found-footage film drags the cozy, aesthetic world of cafe culture straight into a reality-bending tabletop nightmare. The Lore: A Livestream from Hell The movie centers on Jason (known to his digital followers as “Java”), a popular social media influencer and coffee shop owner who makes the ultimate mistake for online validation. Looking to spice up a livestream, Jason unboxes a mysterious, vintage tabletop card game. What starts as innocent unboxing content quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival. Trapped inside his own shuttered cafe, Jason realizes that the game’s five sinister cards impose cursed, literal “gifts” on the player. Every single card drawn summons terrifying, hyper-realistic creatures directly

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

The Housemaid’s Director, Paul Feig, signs on to Direct the Horror Movie ‘Detention’

It looks like director Paul Feig is trading in his signature sharp suits and maids for a one-way ticket to the dark side. Hot on the heels of directing the global smash-hit thriller The Housemaid last Christmas—and with its highly anticipated sequel, The Housemaid’s Secret, already on his plate—Feig is diving headfirst into pure terror. Deadline reports that he has officially signed on to direct Detention, a brand-new horror-thriller from genre titans Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Platinum Dunes. Daniel Gold penned the spec screenplay, and while the exact plot details are currently locked away in a high-security locker, insiders say the project is exactly the kind of sinister material Feig was hunting for. After dipping his toes into the thriller pool with The Housemaid, the director reportedly wanted to try his hand at something significantly darker. A Heavyweight Horror Coalition While the movie doesn’t have an official studio home just yet, industry insiders note that Universal Pictures will almost certainly

Keanu Reeves Teases Upcoming Sci-fi Shark Movie

Keanu Reeves Teases Upcoming Sci-fi Shark Movie

While director Tim Miller (Deadpool) is currently keeping the official title of his next sci-fi thriller quiet, John Wick star Keanu Reeves just gave the ultimate elevator pitch. When Collider caught up with the internet’s favorite action icon to ask what exactly lured him into Miller’s mysterious new sandbox, Reeves didn’t mince words. His glorious five-word breakdown? “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.” Honestly, Keanu, you had us at sharks. The Loop: A Caribbean Bloodbath Reeves’ delightfully blunt synopsis lines up perfectly with the chaotic plot details that surfaced earlier this year. The untitled Warner Bros. project centers on a smuggler. He finds himself completely marooned in the middle of a deadly double-cross while pulling a job in the Caribbean Sea. If a botched heist wasn’t stressful enough, the poor guy wakes up surrounded by a floating graveyard of bodies. And heavily armed hostile mercenaries, and a swarm of ravenous, bloodthirsty sharks. The ultimate kicker? He’s trapped in a relentless time
