M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Trap’ Heading to Theaters Early

Good news for fans of M. Night Shyamalan! His latest thriller, Trap, is hitting theaters a week earlier than expected. Initially slated for August 9th, the film starring Josh Hartnett will now premiere on August 2nd nationwide. Trap follows a father and daughter attending a pop concert headlined by Lady Raven (Ishana Shyamalan). What starts as a seemingly ordinary night out quickly spirals into a nightmare. Hints from the trailer suggest a hidden darkness surrounding Hartnett’s character, keeping audiences guessing his true motives. Written and directed by Shyamalan, Trap boasts a cast that includes Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, and familiar faces like Hayley Mills and Allison Pill. Josh Hartnett made a name for himself in the horror genre with his role in The Faculty in 1998. He was amazing in 30 Days of Night, but the “Penny Dreadful” series is unforgettable. His latest project was a role in the award-winning film Oppenheimer, released earlier this year to critical acclaim. Ishana

From the Director of Silent Night Comes ‘Werewolves’ Starring Frank Grillo

Earlier this year, we reported that action star Frank Grillo, star of The Purge franchise, would appear in the upcoming werewolf movie Werewolves. Today, we have an update on the film from Silent Night director Steven C. Miller; the release date has just been announced. The film’s premise is simple yet terrifying: a supermoon activates a latent werewolf gene. For one night, it transforms anyone exposed to its light into a ravenous beast. With millions dead and another supermoon imminent, the race is on for survival. Grillo takes center stage as a hardened character determined to protect his loved ones amidst the chaos. Dr. Amy Chen, played by Katrina Law (“NCIS”), joins him, forming a formidable duo against the werewolf onslaught.

Spoiler-Free Reviews: “The Devil’s Bath” and “Hunters on a White Field” (Tribeca)

The Devil’s Bath (Des Teufels Bad; Austria/Germany, 2024) Cowriters/codirectors Veronica Franz and Severin Fiala are well known for crafting two of the grimmest horror features of the past 10 years, Goodnight Mommy (Ich seh, Ich seh, 2014) and The Lodge (2019). With their new outing The Devil’s Bath, they show within the first few minutes that they don’t plan on softening up their approach, as viewers witness an event from which many fear-fare filmmakers might shy away. In a dread-filled portrayal of mental illness in a small, rural religious community in 18th century Austria, the duo blends folk horror, religious horror, and psychological horror elements. Agnes (Anja Plaschg) and Wolf (David Scheid) have a festive wedding day, but Wolf has no interest in consummating their marriage, while Agnes seems quite interested in having a baby. Wolf’s mother Gänglin (Maria Hofstätter) doesn’t make life easier on Agnes, either. Depression sets in with Agnes, sending her on a journey toward the unthinkable.
