New Series “UFO Witness” Lands This Month On discovery+

For more than 70 years, the U.S. government has been documenting sightings and cases of unidentified flying objects. In cooperation with former Project Blue Book investigator Jennie Zeidman, a former federal agent and paranormal investigator, Ben Hansen reopens case files of some of the most astounding UFO encounters in history, files that have been hidden from the public for decades. In the new series, “UFO Witness.” Zeidman was the last surviving member of the Air Force’s top-secret UFO investigation called Project Blue Book, which looked into sightings from 1952 through 1970. She has broken her silence, speaking publicly for the first time about her decades of research – motivated to share her expertise because she believes we’ve been visited by UFOs before – and fears Earth is under extraterrestrial surveillance. Sadly, Zeidman passed away in April 2020, but she has given discovery+ exclusive access to the files from the chief scientific consultant of Project Blue Book, Dr. Allen J. Hynek,

‘Morbius’ Hit With Another Major Delay

A Killer Hides Amongst A Group Of Explorers In ‘Red Woods’

Head into the wilderness this February for Red Woods and watch as things go very wrong for a group of explorers. A group of urban explorers “gathers in Pennsylvania’s Redstone County Forest aiming to capture footage of abandoned houses and tell their stories. But these “house chasers” get more than they bargained for when, after a series of grisly discoveries, they become the subjects of a different kind of story… one in which they are the ones being chased. Trapped in a swathe of woods so remote there’s only one way in or out, they quickly discover that there is evil in their midst. One among them has devised an insidious plot to construct a tale of terror using his victims’ own footage. With cameras rolling, they must navigate a killer’s “playground” of destruction, because their escape is not part of his script.” Red Woods, written and directed by Nicholas Danko, stars Michael Barnett, Jacquelynn Ware, Brian E. Stead, Jennifer

Sylvester Stallone Gets Protective In New Image From ‘Samaritan’

If I have said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, 2018’s Overlord was freaking fantastic, so needless to say I have high expectations for director Julius Avery‘s new dark superhero movie Samaritan starring action hero and general badass Sylversten Stallone (Rocky, Rambo). In the movie, based on an original idea, a young boy learns that a superhero who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago may in fact still be around. Today we’ve got a new image (via Total Films) of Stallone’s title character protecting Javon Walton’s character while in a traffic tunnel. Pilou Asbæk, Martin Starr, Moises Aries, and Dascha Polanco co-star. This is a big event movie – we see our heroes kicking ass,” Avery recently told Total Film. “We’re going to see Sly do things he hasn’t done in a long time, and in a really inventive way. He’s 73 years old! I’m amazed by how much he actually
