If your weekend plans don’t currently involve a healthy dose of ritualistic murder, road-trip vengeance, and Malcolm McDowell, 20th Century Studios and New Regency are here to fix that.

Spoiler-Free Review: The Devil You Become

Synopsis Amidst a super virus that ravages most of the world’s population, a tenacious microbiology student (Brian K. Millard) leads a small team through a rogue planned exposure. But the human trials end tragically, taking his friends’ lives one by one and leaving potential treatments untested. As he becomes more and more isolated, the line between what’s real and what’s not begins to blur. Review I’m a hard sell on genre films inspired by — and often made during — COVID-19 lockdown, mainly because of burnout on the subgenre at this point, so when a new film about a deadly virus comes along that offers something exciting and unusual with original ideas, it gets my attention. The most recent feature film to do so is director Anthony Bushman’s Psychopomp (U.S., 2024), a horror-adjacent science fiction thriller made by Bushman and his cowriter and costar Brian K. Millard during the lockdown. Millard delivers an absolutely riveting lead performance as Theo, who

Dying to Be Thin: Natalie Erika James Targets Toxic Beauty Culture in ‘Saccharine’ – In Theaters Now

Society’s obsession with weight and appearance has always been a bit parasitic. But director Natalie Erika James (Relic) is taking that metaphor to a terrifying, literal extreme. Independent Film Company (IFC) has just released Sacchrine in theaters, a supernatural body-horror film that turns diet culture into a haunting manifestation of grief and dysmorphia. The Pitch: The Ultimate Ghost Diet The narrative follows Hana (Grey’s Anatomy star Midori Francis). She is a lovelorn medical student drowning under the weight of cultural expectations and personal shame. Desperate to alter her appearance, she falls down an underground rabbit hole and participates in an obscure, deeply disturbing weight-loss craze: processing human ashes into diet pills. Naturally, the calorie deficit comes with a massive supernatural catch. As Hana’s unhealthy compulsion takes over, she finds herself terrorized by the vengeful ghost of the exact person she’s been consuming. The trailer hints at a claustrophobic, stomach-churning descent. Watch as Hana slowly loses control of her body to

Eat the Rich (Literally): Netflix Offers a First Look at Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Evans in ‘Sacrifice’

If you’ve ever sat through a Hollywood awards show and thought, “Someone should really storm the stage with a crossbow,” director Romain Gavras (Athena) is about to fulfill your highly specific wish. Netflix has released a first-look image for Sacrifice, a genre-bending ride that pits an existential Chris Evans against a cult-leading Anya Taylor-Joy. While the streaming giant is keeping the official premiere date locked in a vault, the teaser imagery confirms that production is well underway. And looks like it’s going to be the most chaotic charity event of the year. Hostage Takeovers and Hollywood Egos The official logline sets up a pitch-black satirical thriller.

Neon, Noise, and Police Brutality: Nicolas Winding Refn Reimagining ‘Maniac Cop’

After spending years trapped in development hell—mutating from a feature film concept into a canceled HBO series and back again—Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon, Her Private Hell) has officially cracked the case. The auteur has announced that his long-gestating Maniac Cop Reimagining is finally heading to production, with arthouse titan MUBI fully bankrolling the chaos. The Dossier: A Radical Resurrection For the uninitiated, William Lustig’s original 1988 cult classic followed a towering, seemingly undead officer (the legendary Robert Z’Dar) brutally murdering innocent civilians on the streets of New York. The original film famously starred B-movie royalty Bruce Campbell as a framed young cop and Tom Atkins as the cynical detective uncovering a massive blue wall of silence. Refn isn’t looking to give the property a standard Hollywood coat of paint. He’s aiming for something much more volatile. “In today’s political and social climate, the iconography of Maniac Cop alone provokes an immediate, uneasy reaction,” Refn stated. “I’ve been
