Filming is now underway on Netflix’s untitled sea creature series set in Newfoundland, and THR announced today that Natasha Henstridge and Joshua Close have joined the cast.

The untitled series is created by showrunner Jesse McKeown (“The Umbrella Academy”).

The limited series follows a grizzled fisherman who must fight to protect his family, his community, and his vanishing way of life when a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town.

Henstridge and Close join previously announced cast members Mackenzie Davis, Charlie Heaton (“Stranger Things”), and Josh Hartnett (Trap) as the grizzled fisherman fighting to protect his community against the aquatic threat. Henstridge plays a character named Jan in the upcoming series, and Close will play Officer Jaxon Noseworthy.

For horror fans, Close is best known for his work in horror films In Their Skin, Diary of the Dead, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Henstridge most recently appeared...

The desire for a clean, controlled exit from life is packaged as a luxury consumer product in House of Abraham. The film’s premise is distinctly a product of a certain Western cultural moment, where wellness branding can be applied to even the most final of acts.

We are introduced to a secluded, elegant home in the woods, a structure of sharp lines and wide glass panes that feels more like a high-tech retreat in Silicon Valley than a place to die. The atmosphere is one of profound and eerie calm. Into this meticulously managed environment arrives Dee, a woman carrying both a terminal diagnosis and the visible weight of a deep trauma.

Her presence immediately signals a disruption. She is not just another guest seeking a quiet end; she is a catalyst, a variable that the house’s perfect system was not designed to handle. The film establishes its...

After "Gunsmoke" paved the way for adult westerns on television, the floodgates opened up with every network trying to ride the success wave with oaters of their own like "Rawhide," "Bonanza," and "Wagon Train." Chief among them was "The Virginian," which holds the honor of being the third longest-running network western of all time. The NBC series ran for nine seasons and 249 episodes from 1962 to 1971. The distinction it holds over most of its cowboy television counterparts is that it was the first 90-minute Western series, with episodes running for 75 minutes plus commercials.

Loosely based on Owen Wister's 1902 novel "The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains," "The Virginian" had been adapted four times into feature films, with the version starring Gary Cooper considered among his best movies. Almost three decades later, James Drury performed a test drive for the character in a 1958 episode of the half-hour anthology series "Decision." Considerable...

Exclusive: Fledgling international sales label Bloody Good Time Films has boarded psychological horror House of Abraham, starring Natasha Henstridge (Species, The Whole Nine Yards) as a woman who gets caught in the crosshairs of a cult.

It is among half a dozen titles on the inaugural slate of the UK-based company spearheaded by sales and acquisition exec Charlotte Saunter, which made its debut at the Cannes market this year.

The completed movie, for which Abramorama is handling North American theatrical distribution, is written by Lukas Hassel and directed by Lisa Belcher.

Henstridge stars as a woman looking for an end to her suffering, who checks into the House of Abraham, home to a mysterious cult that promises a way out. She soon discovers all is not what it seems and must plan an escape before it is too late.

The film isproduced by Lisa Belcher, Paul Merryman and Melissa Kirkendall and executive produced by Sid Ganis, Vance and Priscilla Hinton.

“Genre has always had the power to travel – and right now, horror is leading the charge. We’re excited to represent films that are visually striking, emotionally resonant, and built for a worldwide audience. Our focus is on stories that hit hard and stay with you,” said Saunter.

The initial slate includes completed titles, works in post-production, and select early-stage projects from emerging and established filmmakers.

These include Welcome To Paradise, directed by Richard Summers-Calvert and starring Bill Nighy, Mathew Horne, Togo Igawa and Simon Fisher-Becker. It follows a woman who finds herself in a strange, magical carnival with no memory of anything but her own name.

The company is also handling Follow The Dark starring James Cosmo, Arifin Putra and Hannah Al Rashid is about a grieving detective who stumbles upon a portal to a parallel universe, hoping to find answers about his son’s death — only to confront a darkness more terrifying than he imagined. Both are in post-production.
