Eerie Trailer for 'Trees are Watching' Horror Film Starring Eva Green

"In a forgotten town, the curse never sleeps..." 🌳 Mij Film has revealed the first official trailer for the indie horror film titled Trees are Watching, made by Kurdish filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi as his latest feature. This eerie, mysterious eco horror film stars Eva Green and will premiere at the 2026 Toronto Film Festival this fall as one of their major festival world premieres. This looks extra creepy and strange! With a haunted wooden chair. Novelist Darya returns to her hometown with her deaf daughter to work on her new book. There she is haunted by the memories of twin girls from her childhood, and the two trees planted as their memorials, the only that remain among mass deforestation. The film stars Eva Green & Murat Yildirim, along with child actors. TIFF explains: "Across surreal set pieces that ebb with heightened phantasmagoric stylization and sometimes full-blown Grand Guignol spectacle — particularly in a thrilling sequence that recalls the American Final Destination series — Ghobadi conjures a unique flavour of terror, enriched with nuanced philosophy and a deeply personal dimension." Yep this sounds really good! Definitely one to watch. // Continue Reading ›

Jon Hamm & Giovanni Ribisi in 'American Hostage' 70s Series Trailer

"This is more than just a hostage situation..." Amazon MGM Studios has revealed the full official trailer for a new series called American Hostage, ready for streaming on MGM+ starting this September. This is the exact same story told in the movie Dead Man's Wire, which played in theaters earlier this year (and it's very good). The series instead focuses the camera on radio host Fred Heckman, who was portrayed in Gus Van Sant's film by Colman Domingo (as "Fred Temple" instead in that version). It's a true story! This really did happen. Based on the podcast, American Hostage is a psychological thriller set in the 1970s that tells the fascinating story of Fred Heckman, a beloved Indianapolis radio reporter who's thrust into the middle of a life-or-death crisis when the bitter hostage-taker Tony Kiritsis demands to be interviewed on his popular radio news program. Starring Jon Hamm as Fred & Giovanni Ribisi as Tony Kiritsis, Mireille Enos, William Jackson Harper, Kristoffer Polaha, & more. This looks much more for-everyone entertaining and "neutral" than the film, which is a real provocative look at Kiritsis & what really went down. View below. // Continue Reading ›
