Spooky First Trailer for 'Other Mommy' Horror Feat. Jessica Chastain

"Somebody was in the house... she looked like you." Universal Pictures has revealed the first official trailer for the horror movie Other Mommy, the latest creation from genre mastermind Rob Savage (director of Host, Dashcam, The Boogeyman). This trailer has been scaring the crap out of moviegoers playing in front of The Odyssey this past weekend. Bela, an 8-year-old girl living in a home with marital problems, confronts a sinister entity that comes out of her closet that looks exactly like her mother. The presence, who she calls "Other Mommy," becomes increasingly threatening to her and her family. Oscar winner Jessica Chastain stars in dual roles as Bela's mother and as the "Other Mommy," a manifestation of the entity. Jay Duplass plays Daddo, Bela's father, and Arabella Olivia Clark plays Bela. The cast includes Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed, and screen legend Karen Allen. This is actually adapted from the book titled "Incidents Around the House" written by Josh Malerman, turned into this movie by freaky filmmaker Rob Savage. This has some fun jump scares in it and Chastain's performance is clever & freaky. Another horror hit incoming. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: Horror Short 'The Cost of Flesh' Shot in the Reflection in an Eye

"Don't worry, if it goes too far I'll stop everything." Uh oh! This sounds bad! This horror short is another clever exercise in cinematic creativity through minimal filmmaking. The Cost of Flesh is a 10 minute short film made by French filmmaker Tomas Palombi, getting into making shorts are tons of other music videos. Au prix de la chair (in French) premiered at numerous film festivals in 2024 and has been playing on the fest circuit for the past few years. Now it's online - ready to scare everyone! A paralyzed teenage girl can only communicate through the movements of her eyes. Desperate to cure her, her brother and sister turn to an obscure magical ritual – which they hope will free her from the evil that is hindering her. Starring Nayla Berrada as the eye with a freaky eye performance you won't ever forget. The short is B&W and features one shot of her eye with everything happening in the room via her reflection. It obviously reminds any cinephile of the infamously iconic eye slitting shot from the French classic Un Chien Andalou (1929). The terror also comes from the dialogue & what's happening in the room without an ability to control any of it. View below. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: 'The Odyssey' Main Cast + Nolan Peruse the Paris Video Club

"That's mine. I picked that. Ninja Turtles, yes." Yes indeed, Charlize! Konbini debuted their The Odyssey promo visit Video Club video to watch online – where they stop by this old video store in Paris. This time they got the entire cast into the video store for a discussion. Usually it's just one filmmaker at a time (Chris visited back in 2023 with Cillian), but for The Odyssey PR they were able to get Christopher Nolan, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron to visit and talk about their favorite movies. I enjoy these series because it's just one big geek out session where you learn a lot about the kind of movies these actors love themselves. Anne Hathaway goes long on My Cousin Vinny and Marisa Tomei's performance in it. They also bring up Avatar. Charlize reveals she's a huge fan of the original 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (me too). Lupita Nyong'o talks about Jackie Chan. Zendaya (+ Charlize) talk about how much they adore Pixar's Coco. Tom Holland discusses making The Impossible and his love of the 1996 movie Primal Fear with Edward Norton. With three different groups, this video runs almost an hour in total! But it's a fun must watch for movie geeks of all ages. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for Microbudget 'The Peril at Pincer Point' Adventure Film

"The signs? Your soul has been marked – and he will come to collect." An official trailer has debuted for an intriguing indie creation known as The Peril at Pincer Point, made by the filmmaking duo Jake Kuhn & Noah Stratton-Twine. This first premiered at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival a few months back, where it won the NEON Auteur Award. "Experience the defining (and perhaps only) crustaceous comedy of a generation with" this trailer for a nautical odyssey. On a quest to prove his competency, an inert sound recordist finds himself entangled in a nautical prophecy on the spectral island of Pincer Point. He hears tale of a legend and sets out to record a ghost ship. This unique microbudget film stars Jack Redmayne as Jim, Alyth Ross, Os Leanse, Mike Mackenzie, Dashiell Upton, Jason Hogan, Mat Wright, Noah Stratton-Twine, Isobel Laidler, & Oliver Woolf. Described as an "offbeat, surrealist" comedy sporting a distinct vintage visual style to immerse in this story. This footage reminds me of both The Lighthouse and Rose of Nevada - two terrific films as well. This kind of made-for-nothing cinema creativity is always refreshing to encounter. // Continue Reading ›

KVIFF 2026: Trine Dyrholm & Simon Bennebjerg in 'The Guest' Drama

Yet another story of a fractured family trying to reconcile years later. Yet another story of a family unable to actually reconcile despite being in the middle of a beautiful moment moving forard. But that's life for you, right? That's the truth about most families these days. While it is getting a bit cliche to see, it is still a brave act to make a film about a family and share all the ugly, rotten, uncomfortable sides of it. Sometimes laying it all bare and addressing all this trouble directly is the only way to really figure out how to move forward. But this doesn't always work, does it? The Guest (aka Gæsten) is a Danish family drama made by Danish filmmaker Mads Mengel as his first feature film after a few other TV series recently. The film had its world premiere at the 2026 Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where it won the Best Director Award for filmmaker Mads Mengel and also the Special Jury Prize. I was also at the KVIFF world premiere, honored to sit & watch this film at its initial unveiling. Despite being a well-made, nicely-shot Danish film, it's a bit depressing overall. // Continue Reading ›
