The First Trailer Conjured for True Story Based Horror ‘The Caged’ (AKA The Coven)

If you thought the team behind The Caged (also known as The Coven) was resting on its laurels after riding the blood-soaked wave of Terrifier 2 and 3, think again. The genre powerhouse is rolling into the Cannes Market with a dual threat. Not only are they shopping the highly anticipated, internet-meme-inspired thriller Man or Bear,they’ve also quietly locked down the global release of a folk-horror nightmare based on one of the most aggressively haunted houses in British history. The Caged, directed by the award-winning Jeffrey Scott Collins, has already conjured up major territory deals ahead of its market debut, and the real-world history behind it is enough to make any physical media collector lock their doors. The Real-World Cellblock from Hell The film draws its terrifying supernatural folklore directly from a very real, very grim piece of UK real estate. It’s known as “The Cage.” Located in St. Osyth, Essex, the medieval structure served as a notorious 16th-century prison.

Spoiler Free Review: The Furious is THE Absolute Martial Arts Masterpiece of the Summer!

Let’s face it: modern action movies can be a dime a dozen. Too often, we get stuck with the same recycled plots, shaky camerawork, and scripts that rely on explosions to hide terrible acting. But every once in a while, a cinematic lightning bolt strikes. An action thriller arrives that not only delivers a truckload of bone-snapping ass-kicking, but also a story with a massive, beating heart. That is exactly what we are getting with director Kenji Tanigaki’s ultra-violent masterpiece, The Furious, punching its way into theaters on June 12, 2026. Two Broken Men, One Relentless Mission The film follows two desperate men on a collision course with a brutal criminal empire. First, there’s Wang Wei (played by the phenomenal Xie Miao), an ordinary tradesman desperately searching for his young daughter after human traffickers take her.

Heads Will Roll: Sydney Sweeney Starring in Reimagining of ‘Sleepy Hollow’

Washington Irving’s iconic 1819 short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, has been adapted more than once. We’ve seen him as an animated schoolteacher, a pale Johnny Depp in 1999, and a time-traveling Tom Mison on FOX. Now, a new take on the classic tale is headed your way, with a little bit of spice. Lindsey Anderson Beer, who we interviewed about Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, has penned a bold, contemporary take on classic folklore in her upcoming novel Hollow. Hollywood is so obsessed with the manuscript that a major movie adaptation is already sprinting out of the gate. Katrina Van Tassel Gets an Upgrade According to Deadline, Sydney Sweeney (The Housemaid, Anyone But You) has signed on to both produce and star in the film. Sweeney will be slipping into the corsets of Katrina Van Tassel. She’s the heroine portrayed by Christina Ricci in Tim Burton’s 1999 film. However, don’t expect Katrina to sit around looking pretty while Ichabod Crane

Movie Review: Why Damian McCarthy’s ‘Hokum’ is The Perfect Weekend Watch

From the visionary mind behind Caveat and Oddity, writer-director Damian McCarthy has returned with Hokum, an atmospheric Irish folklore nightmare released by Neon. For anyone who loved the terrifying wooden mannequin or the front-desk bell of McCarthy’s previous films, this newest addition to his expanding universe of cursed objects is essential viewing. A Pitch-Black Family Reunion The film stars Adam Scott (Severance) as Ohm Bauman, a reclusive, blockbuster novelist suffering from severe writer’s block and a massive deficit in social skills. Ohm retreats to a remote, extraordinarily dreary Irish inn to lay his late parents’ ashes to rest at the last place they were ever truly happy. Naturally, things go south immediately. Between encounters with dead goats and local eccentrics, Ohm learns that the hotel’s locked honeymoon suite is allegedly haunted by the Cailleach—an ancient witch known for dragging souls down to the underworld. When a friendly bartender named Fiona (Florence Ordesh) mysteriously vanishes after a Halloween party, the film
