The horror genre (and Frightfest) always tends to produce the odd, truly weird movie, and Don’t Let The Cat Out falls nicely into that category. What seems like an easy $500 for house-sitting in a nice neighbourhood soon becomes something much more difficult when he discovers a note on the fridge.

The note details a list of things to do and not to do involving the cat of the house. The list is a little bit strange; he sees no cat,...

“The Bard,” Kevin Willmott’s upcoming drama about enslaved man and celebrated poet George Moses Horton, has rounded out its cast.

The film — first announced by Variety earlier this month and currently shooting in North Carolina — stars David Gyasi (“The Diplomat”) in the title role. Joining Gyasi in the feature are Julia Schlaepfer (“1923”), Michael McElhatton (“Game of Thrones”) and David Straithairn (“Nomadland”), plus Joseph Lee Anderson (“Young Rock”), Jay R Ferguson (“Mad Men”), Adina Porter (“True Blood”) and Dylan Arnold (“After”).

“The Bard” — being directed by Wilmott (an Oscar winner for co-writing “BlackKklansman” with Spike Lee) — will tell the true story of Horton, the first Black poet to be published in America while enslaved, a feat punishable by death. Horton (Gyasi) wrote love poems and anti-slavery protests, and was assisted by the white wife (Schlaepfer) of a Unc Chapel Hill professor, who eventually became an anti-abolitionist. Willmott is working from...

Exclusive: Synkronized has acquired worldwide distribution rights from Iuvit Media Sales to suspense drama The Estate, starring acting legend Vanessa Redgrave and husband Franco Nero (Django).

Directed and written by Carlo Nero (The Fever), the film charts the story of the Wellsleys, an aristocratic family confronting harsh contemporary realities. In the film, the family is desperate to save their ancestral property due to insurmountable debts. As they struggle to find a solution, a series of disturbing events occur, forcing the Wellsleys to confront deep injustices they and other landowners, past and present, have wrought.

“The audience loves a good whodunnit. Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero have an amazing chemistry,” stated Alex Cohen, CEO of Synkronized.

“The Estate is more than just a drama about a family of English aristocrats trying to save their home. It goes further by confronting the deeply rooted socio-economic injustices our whole world faces – and it...

David Gyasi, best known for playing the suave and well-tailored U.K. foreign secretary Austin Dennison in Netflix’s political thriller series “The Diplomat,” has landed his first lead film role.

The British actor has joined “The Bard,” telling the true story of George Moses Horton, the first Black poet to be published in America while enslaved, a feat punishable by death. Horton — to be played by Gyasi — wrote love poems and anti-slavery protests, and was assisted by the white wife of a Unc Chapel Hill professor, who eventually became an anti-abolitionist.

“The Bard” is being directed by Kevin Willmott, who won the Oscar for co-writing “BlackKklansman” with frequent collaborator Spike Lee and wrote and directed “The 24th.” The filmmaker is working from a script he wrote alongside E. Paul Edwards.

Horton’s path from enslaved man to celebrated poet is a “unique and powerful story, which sheds new light...

Exclusive: What happens when a group of game rangers create their own raunchy pasttime? That’s what director Brett Michael Innes sets out to reveal in Showmax comedy Khaki Fever.

Here, we’ve got the trailer for the South African feature, in which a group of game ranger staff set up a challenge to see who can hook up with the most tourists during a season while avoiding their conservative lodge manager, who makes it clear anyone fraternizing with guests will be fired. The winner is named King of Khaki and takes the losers’ tips.

Innes is the director, with Loki Rothman (Koek) composing the score and creating an original theme song titled ‘Khaki Fever’. Innes wrote the script alongside husband Nick Ahlers and the married couple also produced the film for Nostalgia Productions along with Paulo Areal. Christa Schamberger led on casting. It was shot in both English and Afrikaans.

Wishing you could own a piece of Hawkins, Indiana before Stranger Things comes to an end later this year? Here’s your shot.

In celebration of the upcoming fifth and final season of the global hit series, Caitlin Clark and the rest of the WNBA’s Indiana Fever are embracing the Upside Down with a re-issue of their immensely popular Stranger Things-themed jersey from 2021.

The limited-edition jersey, which is on sale now, reimagines the Fever’s classic look with a dark, retro twist. Inspired by the beloved series from Matt and Ross Duffer, the jersey features eerie red and black hues, vintage Stranger Things font, Demogorgon claw accents, and “011” on the waistband — referencing the series’ beloved character Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown).

“This jersey represents the fierce spirit of our team and the fearless energy of Stranger Things — two forces that never back down,” Indiana Fever’s chief operating officer...

When Eli Roth decided to create his own production company, The Horror Section, he didn’t have the work of other filmmakers on his mind. But, all of that would change when X trilogy director, Ti West, reached out to ask him if he had seen Joe Begos’ latest project, Jimmy and Stiggs. What happened next fully shifted Roth’s perspective on just how much he could showcase with The Horror Section and led him to use the title as the production company’s kick-off. Today, Collider is thrilled to unveil the exclusive first look at the trailer for Jimmy and Stiggs, and also share an interview we conducted with Roth about The Horror Section, Jimmy and Stiggs, and his upcoming slate.

According to Roth, when West first approached him with Begos’ latest bonkers feature, the MaXXXine helmer described it as “‘insane, like old school Peter Jackson and early Sam Raimi.’” And,...

George Folsey Jr., the film editor and producer who collaborated with director John Landis on such films as Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Coming to America and An American Werewolf in London, has died. He was 85.

Folsey died Sunday in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia, his son, fellow film editor Ryan Folsey (Cabin Fever, Renfield), told The Hollywood Reporter.

His father was George J. Folsey, the famed 13-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer whose credits included The Cocoanuts (1929), Animal Crackers (1930), Thousands Cheer (1944), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), The Clock (1945), Green Dolphin Street (1947), Adam’s Rib (1949), Million Dollar Mermaid (1953), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) and Forbidden Planet (1956).

George Folsey Jr. also edited Shawn Levy’s Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) and The Pink Panther (2006) and Eli Roth’s Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007).

After cutting Landis’ directorial debut, Schlock (1973), Folsey edited the Landis-helmed The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), Animal House (1978), The Blues Brothers (1980) and Coming to America (1988), which he also produced.

Like Spirit Halloween seizing a once-beloved store, Silver Scream Con moved into the old stomping grounds of Rock and Shock — New England’s premier horror convention, which came to an end in 2019 — at the Dcu Center in Worcester, Ma for its three-quel on September 13-15.

It was a full circle moment for Silver Scream mastermind and Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas, whose experiences attending Rock and Shock inspired him to start his own convention. Having quickly outgrown its previous venue, the Doubletree hotel in Danvers, Silver Scream Con III’s new setting was able to accommodate even more horror fans for three days of horror, music, gore, and more.

The guest list included: Scream‘s David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, and Lee Waddell; Cabin Fever‘s Eli Roth, Cerina Vincent, and Jordan Ladd; Terrifier‘s Damien Leone, David Howard Thornton, Lauren Lavera, Elliott Fullam, and Amelie McLain; Halloween‘s Nick Castle,...

Zo Kravitz's "Blink Twice" movie features a soundtrack filled with major artists and songs that set the tone for the psychological thriller. James Brown and Beyonc are prominently featured in the soundtrack, adding recognizable and fitting music to the movie's narrative. While the full "Blink Twice" soundtrack is not available for streaming, viewers can still enjoy the impactful songs individually.

Zo Kravtiz's Blink Twice movie has a great soundtrack filled with songs that fit the psychological thriller tone and island setting, and some major artists are featured on it. Given her own musical background and connections, it is no surprise that Zo Kravitz carefully selected the music that would play during her directorial debut. Some songs are used to help establish the partying and dancing that takes place on Slater King's island, while others are incorporated as subtle narrative clues or glimpses into the mindsets of various characters played...

Neil Diamond and Catherine Bainbridge have teamed up once more to share enlightening stories from their homeland. Past collaborations include Reel Injun and Rumble, works highlighting the creativity of Indigenous voices. With Red Fever, they shift focus, traveling across Turtle Island and beyond to trace threads of the past woven into today.

Joining the directors on this journey is Neil Diamond himself. A Cree photographer and filmmaker, Neil serves as our lively guide. From his hometown in northern Quebec, he ventures forth, curious about how Native culture touches lives worldwide. Though often not reflecting what people expect, Neil remains genuine in sharing both pride in his people and questions about others’ long fascination.

Across four chapters like a medicine wheel, Red Fever explores the profound yet overlooked roles of First Nations. We learn of fashion drawing on ancient designs, sports evolving from demonstrations of strength, and democracy first gleaned from nations united in diplomacy.

We have discussed killers that received slasher movies, folklore turned cannibalism, and plenty of possession via person, home, or even object. What we haven’t done too much of is the good old-fashioned cult. While we took a deep dive into Jim Jones and the tragedy of Jonestown paired with the very well-done Sacrament, there are a ton of real-life cults and cult leaders that have been put to celluloid in an attempt to both cash in and tell a compelling story. I mean, I’m writing this right now on the couch while my wife watches a documentary about a cult on Netflix. True crime and religious cult stuff exist in popular forms like podcasts, shows, and of course movies too. Today we will look at two things that don’t get a lot of widespread attention. The 2007 horror movie Borderland (watch it Here) and what it is loosely...

The feature debut of Dublin-based writer/director Paul Duane, All You Need is Death, unfurls a haunting Irish folktale through ancient song.

All You Need is Death opens on VOD and in select theaters on April 11, 2024.

Watch the trailer below to get a peek at some of the folklore based horrors ahead.

The film follows “a young couple who are part of a mysterious, secret organization that travels at night with the desire to discover forbidden knowledge. They believe that living, modern alchemy is contained in old, forgotten songs. When they find a mysterious elderly woman who sings songs that have never been heard before, they open the door to ancient evil and madness.”

Olwen Fouéré, Charlie Maher (Blue Lights), Simone Collins (The Last Duel), and Gary Whelan (The Contract) star in All You Need is Death. Olwen Fouéré is no stranger in the genre space, having previously starred in Mandy,...

The alien invasion comedy Hillbillies vs. Alien Chickens has taken home the top prize in this year’s Horror2Comic Contest.

The script from Nicholas Tana is described as a twist on the alien invasion genre, and centers on a vegan hillbilly who must team with a government agent to combat invading alien chickens.

Winning scripts in the Horror2Comic contest are made into comic books, and in turn are put into development as a feature or a TV show via Motor Content, the company whose credits include History’s Knightfall and the Michael Keaton feature The Founder. The contest has its origins as an offshoot of Script2Comic, which focuses on all genres, not just horror.

Scout Comics published last year’s Horror2Comic winner, She Bites, a story centering on a 134-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 9-year-old girl.

“Our 2020 Grand Prize Winner She Bites (fka...

Eli Roth just kicked off a new horror franchise with his slasher movie Thanksgiving (read our review Here), as it was recently announced that Thanksgiving 2 is on track for a 2025 release. But while Roth is currently focused on holiday slashing, two franchises he previously created – the Hostel and Cabin Fever franchises – came up while he was sitting down for an interview with CinePOP. And during this interview, he said he hopes to revisit and revive those franchises someday!

Roth told CinePOP, “Hostel, there’s a lot more to do. I’d love to go back to Hostel at some point. And Cabin Fever as well. They’re a part of me, like my children, and I feel like I’ve been ignoring them for too long. I’d love to go back to them, in some way. I have ideas.“

Roth directed the first two Hostel movies and the first Cabin Fever,...

The following contains spoilers for 2023's Goosebumps currently streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu.

As Goosebumps concludes its first season and anticipations for a Season 2 grow, there's an entire catalog of perfect stories waiting to be adapted by the series. Disney's Goosebumps reboot left audiences hanging with a creepy cliffhanger, sparking curiosity about the show's future. Yet, with decades of Goosebumps tales to draw from, anything is on the table and off the bookshelf after the suspenseful ending of the first season.

Inspired by the famous book series, Disney's Goosebumps marks the second television adaptation of R.L. Stine's spine-chilling tales, offering a fresh take on some of its most terrifying narratives. Season 1 revolves around Harold Biddle and the malevolent puppet Slappy, through which dark forces become unleashed upon the town of Port Lawrence. Ending on a chilling cliffhanger, fans wait with peeled eyes and bated breath as information becomes...

Desperation often leads to violence when someone’s back is against the wall. Humans are animals, and when cornered, they’ll lash out, throwing caution to the win as part of a fight or flight response. In Lionsgate‘s Desperation Road trailer, a mother protects herself against a corrupted officer of the law, leading to gunfire, bewilderment, and a snap decision to flee the scene. Mistakes can catch up to the best of us, and secrets unravel easily when the past comes back to haunt you.

“In a small Mississippi town, justice and the law are two very different things,” reads the official synopsis for Desperation Road. “Academy Award Winner Mel Gibson, Garret Hedlund, and Willa Fitzgerald star in a modern noir thriller based on the acclaimed novel by Michael Farris Smith about two lost souls tortured by the mistakes of their past and bound by a secret that keeps them running.

Fever Ray’s Karin Dreijer ventures into a snowy expanse in the new music video for “North,” a track off their recent album, Radical Romantics, co-produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Directed by longtime collaborator Martin Falck, the “North” video finds Fever Ray smack in the middle of the Swedish tundra, surrounded by ice, snow, distant mountains, and what look like shifting, crumbling glaciers.

“‘North’ is about the desire to find out what is true, the curiosity and courage to sit with the most difficult emotions,” Dreijer said in a statement.

Fever Ray, the experimental pop project of Karin Dreijer, has announced additional North American tour dates for their “There’s No Place I’d Rather Be Tour” in 2023. The gigs are in support of their recent album Radical Romantics

After wrapping up a few more shows in Europe later this month, Fever Ray’s upcoming tour leg includes “hypnotic and awe-inspiring” performances in Los Angeles, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Austin, and Mexico City. Christeene will support as opening act on select dates.

Pre-sale for the newly-announced shows begin tomorrow, August 10th at 10:00 a.m. Et (use code Track) over at Ticketmaster, with general sale starting August 11th at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Along with the tour announcement, Fever Ray has shared the new music video for Radical Romantics highlight “North.

It's time to face the music: He's not just Ken, he is Kenough. Ryan Gosling has officially entered the Billboard Hot 100 with "I'm Just Ken," debuting at number 87. The song, performed as part of Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," was released on July 21 and became a viral hit, with Billboard tracking 5.2 million streams in the U.S. alone, and over 2,000 downloads during its opening week.

This is Gosling's first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, something he almost achieved with "La La Land." That album peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard 200 and number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, while the Academy Award-winning single "City of Stars" peaked at number 2 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, just keeping him off the charts.

"I'm Just Ken" debuts on the chart along with the "Barbie: The Album" soundtrack, which opened at number 2 on the Billboard 200. It's sitting pretty at the top of the Soundtracks chart,...

It’s been a minute since the last Marvel Cinematic Universe series hit Disney+, but as we cruise into summer 2023, we know that the streamer has three MCU shows lined up before the year’s out, including Loki season 2 and Echo. But first we have Secret Invasion, an event series that may change everything we know about some of our favorite MCU characters, set to kick off Phase 5.

In the big budget Marvel show, Nick Fury uncovers a conspiracy that a group of shapeshifting Skrulls are planning to infiltrate Earth in positions of power, and he has to get back to business and help save the day. Nick isn’t the only recognizable face in this story; Everett K. Ross, Maria Hill, Rhodey, and Talos will all make appearances here, but things may not quite be as they seem, as some major MCU characters are set to be unmasked as imposters.

Co-pro incubator takes place from July 6-7.

Projects by UK director Beatrice Gibson, Slovenia’s Gregor Božič, Berlin-based Ann Oren and Turkey’s Burak Cevik are among 10 selected for this year’s FIDLab, the co-production incubator of French festival FIDMarseille.

The 15th edition of the showcase, known for its focus on experimental fiction features and documentary, is set to be held from July 6-7. The 10 selected projects have been whittled down from 430 entries.

Gibson will attend with Night, a UK-France co-production about a woman wandering the streets after an abortion, embarking on a series of quiet encounters. It is Gibson...

Good news for those who wish to know what their Twitter feed’s jacking off to: the Criterion Channel are launching an erotic thriller series that includes De Palma’s Dressed to Kill and Body Double, the Wachowskis’ Bound, and so many other movies to stir up that ceaseless, fruitless “why do movies have sex scenes?” discourse. (Better or worse than middle-age film critics implying they have a hard-on? I’m so indignant at being forced to choose.) Similarly lurid, if not a bit more frightening, is a David Lynch retro that includes the Criterion editions of Lost Highway and Inland Empire (about which I spoke to Lynch last year), a series of shorts, and a one-month-only engagement for Dune, a film that should be there in perpetuity.

Retrospectives of Harold Lloyd, Rohmer’s Tales of the Four Seasons, and shorts by Fanta Régina Nacro round out the big debuts,...

Several times over the years, we’ve shared video walkthroughs of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights… and since Halloween is now sneaking up on us, we figured it was time to share a video that gives a look at the 2022 Halloween Horror Nights event. In the video embedded above, you can join our own Jessica Dwyer as she makes her way around the mazes and scare zones.

The Halloween Horror Nights event has the following description:

Southern California’s Scariest Halloween Event

Summon your scream squad to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights with 8 haunted houses, the Terror Tram, scare zones, a live show and exhilarating attractions. Whether you’re a superfan, here for the snacks or selfies, scared of everything or skeptical of everyone, remember, never go alone.

Terrifying Haunted Houses and the Terror Tram Coming This Year

Enter haunted houses inspired by the biggest names in fear.

Let’s start with what’s most important about “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” which is that my children loved it. One is going on nine years old, so she’s mostly come out on the other side of her affection for these characters, but she had a good time; her five-year-old sister, in the midst of full-on Minion Fever (she brought a stuffed Bob along with her to the screening), proclaimed it the best one yet, though she may have been suffering from recency bias.
