Official Trailer for Rescue Thriller 'Man of War' with LaMonica Garrett

"I'll do anything that needs to be done to get to Riley." Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for Man of War, a rescue mission thriller made by action filmmaker William Kaufman. This is set for a VOD release directly in July coming up this summer. Skipping theaters but it still looks like an intense action thriller to watch anyway. When an aid worker vanishes in the first hours of war in Ukraine, a former Navy SEAL & CIA operative crosses into the shattered country to bring her home-facing mercenaries, shifting battle lines, and ghosts he thought he left behind. Amid the chaos of a counter-offensive and a city collapsing into war, he must confront a Russian mercenary and make one last stand to keep the only promise that matters: Bring Riley home. Man of War stars LaMonica Garrett as former soldier Michael Connor, with Jason Patric, Andrew Howard, Linds Edwards, Daniel Bernhardt, and Rosmary Yaneva as Riley. This doesn't seem as bad as most of these recent generic VOD action movies. Looks packed with copious shootout scenes. // Continue Reading ›

Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Rafe Spall in 'Rich Flu' Virus Thriller Trailer

"Our planet is on fire. People who thought that they were untouchable – but they're not." Get a load of this. Vertical released an official US trailer for the intriguing dark thriller titled Rich Flu, an apocalyptic virus movie from Spain and the UK. You might not be surprised to learn that Rich Flu is from the same director as The Platform and The Platform 2 - the famous Spanish films criticizing greed and modern society and all of that. Yet it has taken 2 years to release. Just Laura's career peaks, a deadly virus targets the rich. As panic erupts and society turns on the 1%, she must fight to protect her family in a world where wealth becomes a death sentence. Strange plot. How does the virus know which people are rich? How does that work? It's an obvious gimmick story where the world falls apart after the rich are gone, but I also think this is why it has mixed reviews and will be dumped on VOD this month. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as Laura, with Rafe Spall, Lorraine Bracco, Dixie Egerickx, César Domboy, Timothy Spall, Jonah Hauer-King. It premiered in 2024 at the Sitges Film Festival, and played at Beyond Fest & TIFF. Might be worth a look. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for Hobbyhorsing Movie 'Horsegirls' with Gretchen Mol

"The world is very good at making people feel small. You're not afraid to be yourself." 🐴 Sumerian has debuted an official trailer for an indie film titled Horsegirls, a coming-of-age dramedy marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Lauren Meyering. This first premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival last summer, and it's opening in limited theaters starting in July this summer. After her mother's illness returns, 22-year-old Margarita, a young woman with autism, discovers the world of hobbyhorsing and sets out to prove her independence to her mother—stick horse and all. Hobbyhorsing is the gymnastic "sport" of riding a stick horse around. Similar movement sequences to those also featured in show jumping or dressage are partly simulated in courses, without real horses being used. It was actually popularized in Selma Vilhunen's 2017 doc film Hobbyhorse Revolution (Keppihevosten vallankumous). Horsegirls stars Lillian Carrier as Margarita, with Gretchen Mol as her mom Sandy, plus Jerrod Haynes, Tony Hale, Matthew Schwab, and Iqbal Theba. This looks amusing and wholesome – a good story about finding joy and holding onto it. // Continue Reading ›

Adria Arjona Blasts Killing Machines in 'Onslaught' Sci-Fi Action Trailer

"Don't be afraid, we're your government." Ha ha – holy crap! A24 has unveiled the official trailer for the killer sci-fi action movie called Onslaught, arriving in theaters starting in September later this year. This is a throwback to the gnarly movie The Guest - created by director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett in 2014. Now 12 years later the duo has reteamed for a very similar story. It's described as pretty much like "Sarah Connor versus Jason Voorhees" which sounds like a good time. A mom in a trailer park struggles to protect her family from a threat that has escaped from a secret military facility. "Go to your room, get under your bed. Momma needs to get her guns!" Hit Man's breakout Adria Arjona stars as a badass Army sniper who must unleash hell to protect her young daughter when genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert. Gnarly! Along with Arjona, it also stars Dan Stevens (also in The Guest), Eric Wareheim, Reginald VelJohnson, Michael Biehn, Alex Pereira, Drew Starkey, plus Rebecca Hall. Well, this looks totally awesome! Some fresh, new inventive original action to enjoy later this year. Check it out below. // Continue Reading ›

Taye Diggs & Tamar Braxton in Tubi Thriller 'Stepfather' Official Trailer

"I thought you were different..." Tubi has revealed the official trailer for an indie thriller titled Stepfather, arriving to watch streaming on Tubi (for free!) starting in June later in the month. Yet another low budget, extra cheesy new thriller to watch online anytime – or skip entirely. A desperate man hunts for the perfect family, but when his new wife and daughters fear he may just be deranged, escaping him will have deadly consequences. The film relies on psychological tension, teasing mounting suspicion inside the home as Asia realizes the man she married is hiding deadly secrets. Stepfather stars Taye Diggs and Tamar Braxton in the main roles, with Kalani Jules, Jessica Jarrell, Janeline Hayes, Dante Brown, Troy Brookins, TJ Shaw, Koda Kalani Beschen, and Elizabeth Dantus. This is suspiciously similar to the other direct-to-VOD thriller The Step Daddy with an eerily similar premise about a naughty step dad. Huh. Not sure it will be any good. // Continue Reading ›
