Freaky Trailer #2 for 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' Animatronic Horror Sequel
Freaky Trailer #2 for 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' Animatronic Horror Sequel
"Half of this town will be dead by morning." Well that's ominous! Blumhouse and Universal have debuted a second official trailer for horror sequel Five Nights at Freddy's 2, continuing the animatronic terror of the Fazbears. Opening in theaters nationwide in December at the end of this year. Blumhouse's box-office horror phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy's, the highest-grossing horror movie of 2023, begins a blood-chilling new chapter of animatronic terror. Based on Scott Cawthon’s hit video game series, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is directed again by filmmaker Emma Tammi. The next one seems to continue right where the last left off, with Josh Hutcherson looking for his missing sister. A year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. When Abby sneaks out to reconnect with her friends Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades. Also starring Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, and all the mechanical monsters back again. This definitely looks like an even scarier, more intense improvement over the first film. Watch out for killer animatronic furries. // Continue Reading ›

New US Trailer for 'My Neighbor Adolf' Strange Comedy with Udo Kier
New US Trailer for 'My Neighbor Adolf' Strange Comedy with Udo Kier
"A comic tragedy of suspicion..." Cohen Media has posted their own official US trailer for a film called My Neighbor Adolf, an awkward comedy by filmmaker Leon Prudovsky. This film first premiered back in 2022 and already opened back then (here's the first trailer from years ago). But somehow it never got a US release all this time and has been sitting for 3 years waiting to finally open in the US. It's out in December, but only in one theater in NYC. Based on a true story, set in 1960s Colombia (not Argentina). Mr. Polsky is a lonely, grumpy Holocaust survivor who is now living in the remote countryside. He mostly spends his days playing chess & tending to his beloved rose bushes. However, when a mysterious old German man moves in next door he begins to suspect his new neighbor is... Adolf Hitler. Since nobody believes him, he embarks on a detective mission to find the evidence. In order to prove his suspicions, Mr. Polsky will need to be closer to his neighbor than he would like – so close they could almost become friends... Starring David Hayman as Polsky and Udo Kier as his new neighbor, along with Danharry Colorado and Olivia Silhavy. I'll admit I'm intrigued to find out who he really is (probably not actually Hitler?)... A final trailer after all these years. // Continue Reading ›

Another Exciting Trailer for 'Christy' Feat. Sydney Sweeney as a Boxer
Another Exciting Trailer for 'Christy' Feat. Sydney Sweeney as a Boxer
"Get ready, honey. Christy Martin's gonna knock you out!" 🥊 Christy has entered the ring and will kick your ass! Black Bear Pictures has debuted a second trailer for Christy, hitting theaters nationwide starting this weekend. It's definitely worth watching on the big screen! "What does it take to become a legend?" The sports movie tells the story of of Christy Martin, the most successful female boxer of the 1990s. The TIFF description: "Featuring a career-best performance from Sydney Sweeney, the latest from David Michôd (also of Animal Kingdom) chronicles groundbreaking boxer Christy Martin's fierce story of self-actualization in the face of terrifying adversity..." They continue: "Dealing with themes of misogyny, domestic violence, and sexual identity, the film does justice to Christy's journey by being frank about the obstacles she overcame." The cast also includes Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O'Brian, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad Coleman, Bryan Hibbard, and Gilbert Cruz. I had a chance to watch this film and it's damn good. Not only does it feature a terrific performance from Sweeney, there's quite a few twists & turns in this story. Not so much about boxing as it is about fighting patriarchy & assholes, and also figuring out who you really are. // Continue Reading ›

Some may remember we posted trailers for this back in 2021 and 2022 before it debuted in China in 2023. It has taken the last two years for them to figure out how to get this streaming in the US as well, now it'll finally be available to watch in November this fall. The series features a grand total of 30 episodes! Also known as only Blossoms (繁花) for China. This is an adaptation of a 2012 novel of the same name from Jin Yucheng, telling the story of a young entrepreneur named Mr. Bao as he seeks wealth, status and romance set against a backdrop of China's 1990s economic boom. The story of a "self-made millionaire" in Shanghai during the 1990s, a young opportunist with a troubled past.

Maika Monroe & Emma Corrin in '100 Nights of Hero' Official Trailer
Maika Monroe & Emma Corrin in '100 Nights of Hero' Official Trailer
"Any time you feel like you need rescuing, I'll tell a story." IFC Films has debuted the full official trailer for 100 Nights of Hero, a fantasy romance thriller from the filmmaker Julia Jackman as her second film so far (after Bonus Track). It's set to hit theaters starting in December - an impressive indie creation with some top notch fantasy world building. When her neglectful husband departs after placing a secret wager to test her fidelity, Cherry and her sharp-witted maid must fend off a dangerously seductive visitor: Manfred. The film is adapted from the hit graphic novel of the same name. Here's a better intro from that book to setup the storytelling concept: "In the tradition of The Arabian Nights, a beautifully illustrated tapestry of folk tales and myths about the secret legacy of female storytellers in an imagined medieval world. In the Empire of Migdal Bavel, Cherry is married to Jerome, a wicked man who makes a diabolical wager with his friend Manfred: if Manfred can seduce Cherry in one hundred nights, he can have his castle – and Cherry." Uh no! Starring Emma Corrin as Hero, Nicholas Galitzine as Manfred, Maika Monroe as Cherry, Amir El-Masry, Charli XCX (yes for real!), Richard E. Grant, and Felicity Jones. I caught this at the Venice Film Festival and really dug it - highly recommend catching this when it opens next month. Very good film. // Continue Reading ›
