Dive Into the Trailer for the Practical FX Shark Movie ‘The Bay’

When it comes to the summer months, two things are absolute, undeniable certainties: Georgia is hot enough to melt asphalt, and Hollywood is going to dump a truckload of shark movies onto our screens. Joining the highly competitive 2026 aquatic thriller lineup, which includes Deep Water and Chum, is The Bay from Brainstorm Media. Practical Effects and Terrible Vacation Decisions The movie stars Francesca Eastwood (M.F.A., Clawfoot), but the real headline here for horror purists is behind the gills. Rather than relying entirely on dodgy, weightless CGI, The Bay will feature a fully functional animatronic shark. It was built by the practical-effects wizards at Bischoff’s. What you will be seeing is a combo of the animatronic and real beasts. Written and directed by Phil Volken, the plot keeps things lean, mean, and claustrophobic. When a tourist boat tragically sinks inside an actual, designated shark sanctuary, two best friends are forced into a brutal fight for survival as they try to

Lily James Set to Lead Horror Movie ‘Seasons’ Based on Viral Reddit Story

The internet’s favorite campfire circle has struck again. Director Drew Hancock—who is already generating buzz with his thriller Companion—is officially stepping behind the camera. This time it’s for the new horror film titled Seasons for Amazon MGM Studios. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hancock’s script is adapted from a viral short story by Matt and Harrison Query. It first terrified Reddit users. If that premise sounds vaguely familiar to the internet community, that’s because the project was originally announced under the much more literal, real-estate-heavy title, My Wife and I Bought a Ranch. HOA Fees Are the Least of Their Problems For those who haven’t scrolled through the original thread, the official synopsis for Seasons promises a deeply disturbing tale. The film follows a husband and wife who buy their absolute dream ranch. However, they quickly discover that the picturesque land is crawling with ancient spirits. As it turns out, surviving the mortgage means submitting to increasingly disturbing supernatural rituals

Frank Grillo and Tyrese Gibson Battle Corporate Nanobots in ‘Kill Code’

The new cyberpunk thriller Kill Code is heading your way. In a grim future, the human body is treated like cheap hardware, controlled by the rich and powerful. Fortunately, some people still prefer their free will. Set in a rainy, neon-drenched dystopian America ravaged by a Second Civil War, crime has become a deadly pandemic. Enter Alpire Industries CEO and scientist Eion Prescott (Harvey Keitel), who claims to have the ultimate cure. His solution is the ONYX Program, an aggressively dystopian initiative where AI-powered watches are strapped to known criminals. Instead of tracking steps, these watches inject criminals with nanobots carrying a deadly computer virus: the titular kill code. The virus forces these tech-jacked criminals to battle each other to the death, with the bruised survivors supposedly earning redemption and their lives back. Of course, the corporation won’t be satisfied until they’ve eliminated human free will. The only thing standing in their way is a cyber-enhanced Alpire operative, played by

A Tradition Takes a Dangerous Turn This July in ‘New Year’s Absolution’

Scatena & Rosner Films has announced the North American release of director Nick Leisure’s chilling new holiday horror thriller, New Year’s Absolution, arriving July 14 on VOD and Digital.

Standard stuff, right? Except this year, someone slips a dark, handwritten curveball into the mix: “Kill Someone.” When the prompt falls into the hands of Jacob, a chronically stressed police officer, he naturally skips “party game paranoia” and goes straight to “this is an active threat on my life.” What follows
