First up, NBC is celebrating the 50th anniversary of JAWS with a special presentation of the classic film TONIGHT that will feature a new introduction from Steven Spielberg.
The 1975 film will air across three hours beginning at 8pm ET on Friday, June 20, which Variety notes is “the exact 50th anniversary date of when it was released.”
What else can you expect for the JAWS 50th anniversary this Summer? A new documentary titled Jaws at 50: The Definitive Inside Story comes to National Geographic on July 10 followed by Hulu and Disney+ on July 11, while a 50th anniversary 4K SteelBook was just released on June 17. Special events will also be taking place on Martha’s Vineyard all Summer long.
Variety notes, “NBCUniversal is also coordinating with Major League Baseball for in-stadium activations around the country. Themed home games for the San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies will take place between June 20 and 22, and feature themed home games with “custom scoreboard content, exclusive fan giveaways and more.”
Beginning on June 15, Peacock launched a water-themed “Trouble in the Water” section that includes all four JAWS films alongside Piranha, 47 Meters Down, Night Swim and more.
A mind-bending sci-fi horror movie directed by Grammy winning artist Flying Lotus (V/H/S/99, Kuso), recent theatrical release Ash is now streaming exclusively on Shudder.
Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) star in the sci-fi horror film alongside Iko Uwais (The Raid), Beulah Koale (Shadow in the Cloud), Kate Elliott (“Xena: Warrior Princess”), and Flying Lotus. Jonni Remmler wrote the film.
On the mysterious planet of Ash, Riya (González) awakens to find her crew slaughtered. When a man named Brion (Paul) arrives to rescue her, an ordeal of psychological and physical terror ensues while Riya and Brion must decide if they can trust one another to survive.
Nate Bolotin (The Raid, Mandy) and Mathew Metcalfe produce, while filmmaker Neill Blomkamp (District 9) serves as an executive producer of the Flying Lotus movie.
The long awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later puts Danny Boyle back in the director’s chair, with Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation) scripting.
28 Years Later is now playing in theaters nationwide!
In 28 Years Later, “It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.”
The horror sequel’s cast includes Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black), Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Alfie Williams (“His Dark Materials”) and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).
Marcel Walz (Blood Feast, Blind) directs Garden of Eden from a script by Joe Knetter (Blind, Twilight of the Dead), taking an artistic approach to “torture porn” with special effects by Vincent J. Guastini (Dogma, Requiem for a Dream). It’s now available on VOD outlets.
The press release eloquently describes the movie: “Think ‘American Horror Story‘ if it had a kinky and debaucherous fetish filled three-way with Martyrs and Hostel in a church pew.”
In the film, “The Eden family are devout Christians who do everything they can to live the word of God and set an example of what is right and wrong. They have been very successful in business and are rich beyond their needs. In order to give back, the family throws garden parties. Each guest that is lucky enough to find a key at the party gets to have their most wished for dream come true. But a dream for some can be a nightmare for others.”
Robert Rusler (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2), Monique Parent (Cuck), Sarah French (Blind), and Sarah Polednak star alongside Gigi Gustin (The Retaliators), Sarah Nicklin (Popeye The Slayer Man), Jazz Egger, Adam Bucci (“Halt and Catch Fire”), and Dazelle Yvette.
Music video director Colin Tilley (who has directed videos for Kendrick Lamar and Megan Thee Stallion) makes the leap into horror with Eye for an Eye, now available on VOD.
Eye for an Eye is also playing in select theaters this weekend.
Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2) stars in the horror film alongside S. Epatha Merkerson (“Chicago Med”), Golda Rosheuvel (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”), Laken Giles (All the Weekend’s Drama), and Finn Bennett (“True Detective: Night Country”).
Adapted from a graphic novel called Mr. Sandman, Eye for an Eye infuses classic elements of small-town horror with the visual flourishes and story elements of a gothic fairy tale.
Eye for an Eye follows Anna (Peak), who moves from New York to a small-town Florida to live with the grandmother (Merkerson) following the sudden death of her parents. Feeling isolated, she falls in with some rough teenage locals (Finn Bennett and Laken Giles) and becomes a bystander to an unforgivable act of violence.
She soon finds herself ensnared by the twisted soul of a tormented child from the town’s past, “Mr. Sandman,” who feasts on the eyeballs of his victims. The more she learns about Mr. Sandman, the more she learns about the truth of her own family.
The script was written by author and artist Elisa Victoria (who also wrote the graphic novel). It was produced by Ley Line Entertainment (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
They sing. They dance. They kick demon ass. From Sony Pictures Animation (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Hotel Transylvania), KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix.
When Korean pop superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey aren’t selling out stadiums, they’re using their secret identities as demon hunters to protect their fans from supernatural danger. Together, they must face their biggest threat — an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise.
The animated film is directed by Chris Appelhans (Wish Dragon) and Maggie Kang from a script they co-wrote with Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan.
Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Joel Kim Booster, Liza Koshy, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, and Byung Hun Lee star.
A unique blend of psychological horror and supernatural mystery with hints of folk horror and body horror, Alma & the Wolf is now playing in select theaters and available on VOD.
Ethan Embry (Empire Records), Li Jun Li (Sinners), Jeremie Harris (“Legion”), Lukas Jann (Organ Trail), Beth Malone (“BrainDead”), Kevin Allison (“The State”), Alexandra Doke (“City on Fire”), and Mather Zickel (“Reno 911”) star.
After a violent animal attack, paranoia spreads through Spiral Creek. But when Deputy Ren Accord (Embry) gets too close, his son vanishes, and reality begins to fracture.
Michael Patrick Jann (Drop Dead Gorgeous) directs from a script by Abby Miller (“Justified”).
