Get ready. It’s making its World Premiere as the opening-night film for the Midnight Madness section at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on August 13.

Endless Highway, Endless Dread: NEON Drops New Poster for Gen Z Horror Film ‘It Ends’

If the soul-crushing terror of post-grad existential dread wasn’t enough, NEON is officially taking it to the open road. The studio is preparing to release It Ends, a striking, Gen Z “horror hangout” movie in theaters this August. To celebrate the upcoming theatrical run, NEON has unveiled a creepy brand-new official poster for the film. A Road Trip to Nowhere Written and directed by newcomer Alexander Ullom in his feature debut, It Ends follows four recent college graduates (Akira Jackson, Phinehas Yoon, Mitchell Cole, and Noah Toth) on a late-night drive that turns into an inescapable nightmare. However, the group finds themselves trapped on a sinister, sprawling stretch of highway that seemingly has no end.

Ryan Murphy’s Series Adaptation “The Shards” Snags New Trailer Ahead of Premiere

1981 was brutal. Just ask Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis. The third trailer for Ryan Murphy’s 10-episode series adaptation of The Shards, based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 2023 novel, really wants you to know how tough teenagers had it back in 1981. And, to be fair, between the cutthroat social hierarchy and an actual serial killer on the loose, they might actually have a point. Set in sunny, sinister 1981 Los Angeles, this semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age story follows 17-year-old Bret during his senior year at the uber-elite Buckley School. His privileged, paranoia-fueled world starts unraveling with the arrival of a mysterious new transfer student, Robert Mallory. However, Robert’s unsettling charm conveniently coincides with a brutal spree by a killer known as “The Trawler.” An All-Star Cast Igby Rigney (The Fall of the House of Usher) takes center stage as young Bret Easton Ellis. He’s joined by Homer Gere (The Agency, and yes, Richard Gere’s son), who steps into the

His latest film, the highly anticipated cinematic adaptation of The Dog Stars, is set to hit theaters nationwide this month.

Cowboys, Raptors, and a Tight End: NFL Star George Kittle Saddles Up for ‘Dinosaurs of the Wild West’

What’s better than an alternate-history 1879 Western where humans and dinosaurs build civilization together? Adding one of the most explosive tight ends in NFL history to the mix.

Dive into Terror: ‘The Devil’s Mouth’ Drops New Clips Ahead of This Week’s Prime Video Premiere

Just when you thought summer movies had exhausted every possible way to make you terrified of open water, The Devil’s Mouth is here to prove that staying inside a dark, flooding cave isn’t much safer. Ahead of its streaming debut this Wednesday, July 29, Prime Video has dropped new clips. The fresh footage teases a pitch-black, suffocating fight for survival where oxygen is low, and the local marine life has zero hospitality. A Cave Dive from Hell The survival thriller follows five young friends setting off on one last sun-drenched adventure along Thailand’s coast. Their grand finale? A guided swim through a sprawling, labyrinthine cave system known ominously as The Devil’s Mouth. Unsurprisingly, the excursion goes south fast. A freak storm from the previous week completely flooded the underground waterways with seawater. Most of the displaced sea life didn’t survive the sudden environment swap. However, one massive, hyper-aggressive predator adapted just fine. Trapped in pitch-black, narrow, submerged tunnels with a
