Spoiler-Free Reviews: MARGINALIA and BURNT FLOWERS (GenreBlast 2025) 

MARGINALIA (U.S., 2025) Official synopsis: Summoned to Karnstein Abbey to serve as a mourner at the funeral of their recently deceased abbess, Sister Trista discovers a dark secret involving demons, witchcraft and killer rabbits. But Sister Trista has a secret of her own. Nunsploitation, a Hammer Films’ horror vibe, and the retro charm and surreal qualities of filmmaker Guy Maddin’s work: Writer/director/editor/cinematographer Mark Beal’s beautifully bizarre Marginalia has all this and more. This black-and-white supernatural feature will win cinephiles over with its atmosphere to spare, which includes impressive practical effects work, cool stop-motion creatures, and wonderful medieval set design, costumes, and illustrations. Composer Alexander Hellonious’s evocative score fits the proceedings perfectly. Beal kicks things off right away with one of the most imaginative demises you’re likely to see this year. The cast members do a fine job with their committed performances, led by Jessica Bell as Sister Trista. Beal does assured work at the helm, and as he did with

Don't Trust the Ranger: Psychological Thriller 'Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead' Is Out Now

Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead – Because Trips to the Woods Always Go So Well

If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that celebrating your birthday deep in the wilderness is basically an open invitation to be hunted. Lionsgate’s upcoming psychological thriller, Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead, is here to prove that rule once again when it arrives On Demand and Digital on July 28. Directed by Mike Stahl, the film promises plenty of tension, psychological mind games, and a stark reminder never to trust the local park staff. Surviving the Ultimate Bad Trip The plot follows Amber, whose birthday getaway with friends goes sideways faster than you can say “scenic overlook.” Enter a demented park ranger with a deeply tortured past and a sudden urge to turn their weekend into a masterclass in terror. Fortunately for Amber, she’s not your average running-and-tripping horror protagonist. She’s a stellar athlete and a brilliant social profiler—meaning she’s got the brains to match her cardio. Forced to use every tool in her survival arsenal, Amber must

No Way Out: Netflix’s ‘The Last House’ Trailer Turns into a Sci-Fi Nightmare

No Way Out: Netflix’s ‘The Last House’ Trailer Turns into a Sci-Fi Nightmare

If you thought your pandemic lockdown was rough, Netflix is about to make your worst claustrophobic nightmares look like a luxury spa day. The streaming giant has dropped the first trailer for The Last House, an intense sci-fi thriller that asks a deeply unsettling question: How long could you survive with only the items in your home? The Ultimate Long-Term Lockdown The film follows a normal family that suddenly finds itself locked inside its house with no explanation, no escape routes, and a mysterious, looming threat waiting just outside. The tension kicks off when Jason—played by Oscar nominee Wagner Moura (Narcos)—realizes the doors and windows have completely sealed them in while the rain pours down. And no, they can’t just call a locksmith. Days bleed into weeks, and weeks bleed into literal years. Jason and his wife, Ann (played by Greta Lee in Past Lives), are left with absolutely no answers for their young kids, Ruth and Graham. As the

7 Creepy Sports Movies to Add to Your 2026 Watchlist

7 Creepy Sports Movies to Add to Your 2026 Watchlist

Sports already flirt with horror. Think of a missed penalty, a rookie freezing under stadium lights, or a fighter trying to stand when everyone knows he should sit. The body is on the line, pride is on the line, and the crowd wants more. With CBS News’ interview with Tyriq Withers on the Jordan Peele-produced film Him, bringing football horror back into the conversation, these seven films are worth saving. Black Sunday (1977) This one does not need ghosts. Black Sunday turns the Super Bowl into a nightmare of timing, crowds, and public panic. The blimp is the image people remember, but the fear comes from the scale. Everyone is looking at the game. Almost nobody is looking up. Black Swan (2010) Black Swan makes ballet feel like combat in silk shoes. Natalie Portman plays Nina, a dancer so hungry for perfection that the line between discipline and collapse starts to disappear. The pressure feels recognizable. Coaches demand more, rivals

Legendary Producer Bill Kong Takes Us Inside the Making of ‘The Furious’ in Our Interview

When it comes to martial arts cinema, executive producer Bill Kong is an absolute titan. He’s the legendary mind behind genre-defining masterpieces like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, and House of Flying Daggers. Now, his latest film, The Furious, stormed into theaters this weekend. And it’s already creating a massive wave of buzz world-wide. I’m referring to the balls-to-the-wall crime thriller The Furious, which we confidently crowned “the action film of the summer” in our recent review. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Kong. We had a chat about a spectacular, high-octane feature that came to be, the grueling reality of its production, and what it takes to push modern action cinema to its absolute limit. An Unlikely Duo Directed by the masterful Kenji Tanigaki (interview), The Furious tracks two desperate men on a devastating, violent collision course with a ruthless criminal syndicate. The phenomenal Xie Miao (interview) stars as Wang Wei, an ordinary tradesman whose world
