Watch: 'Apocalypse Norway' Short About Teens Hiding from a Virus

"What do you want to conquer?" This short film is almost too on-the-nose for the times we're living in. But it's an engaging and thought-provoking work and deserves to be seen anyway. Apocalypse Norway is a short film made by Norwegian filmmaker Jakob Rørvik about a group of teens on holiday, hiding out in a remote area of Norway in a huge house when an apocalyptic virus takes over the world. "As it reaches the heart of Europe, Oda realize they might be next." This stars Billie Barker, Kjetil Jore, Lotte Tomine Henningsen, Håkon Stubberud, Lea Meyer, & Lars Tafjord. The project is also a collaboration with electronica producer André Bratten. There's an intriguing mix of handheld, mobile phone cinematography and beautiful conventional shots. Rørvik explains the idea is inspired by a feeling in Norway of false security that comes from "belief in a never-ending growth of wealth and daily comforts." Beware: this film gets dark. ›››

Final Trailer for Synth Space Opera Epic Sci-Fi 'Blood Machines' Lands

"A hallucinogenic journey through space!" Shudder has released one final epic trailer for the crazy indie sci-fi project Blood Machines, written and directed by Seth Ickerman – we've featured two other trailers previously. Which will finally be available to watch on Shudder in May. This French lo-fi sci-fi is actually a "medium-length" film coming in at 50 minutes, making it still a worthy watch. The film tells the story of an A.I. escaping its spaceship as a female ghost and challenging two blade runners into an galactic chase. Featuring a score by the synthwave artist Carpenter Brut kicking this up a few notches. The project is a sequel to the music video Turbo Killer, the first collaboration between Brut and Ickerman. The full-length Blood Machines stars Elisa Lasowski, Anders Heinrichsen, Noémie Stevens, Christian Erickson, Joëlle Berckmans, and Natasha Cashman. This is easily the best trailer yet, and I can't wait to watch this. Looks wickedly one-of-a-kind and mad trippy in every way. Strap in! This one goes to ludicrous speed. ›››

Brian Cox Heads to San Francisco in Trailer for 'The Etruscan Smile'

"I'm not going to make the same mistake with him." 1091 Media has debuted an official trailer for an indie drama The Etruscan Smile, which premiered at the 2018 Montréal World Film Festival a few years ago. Brian Cox stars as Rory MacNeil, a rugged old Scotsman, who travels across the world to San Francisco to seek medical treatment. He moves in with his estranged son Rory, as he sees his life getting transformed through a newfound bond with his baby grandson and a woman he meets in the city. Also starring Rosanna Arquette, JJ Feild, Thora Birch, Peter Coyote, Tim Matheson, and Treat Williams. Based on the bestselling novel by José Luis Sampedro. This looks charming in a gruff way, and emotional of course, but nothing we haven't seen before in so many other indie films about estranged families and stubborn parents. ›››

Official Trailer for Indie Apocalyptic Survival Thriller 'Finding Eden'

"They don't want to share…" Freestyle DM has unveiled an official trailer for an indie sci-fi survival thriller called Finding Eden, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Rodney Aquino. The film was finished a few years ago and has been awaiting a release, and will be available on VOD starting in May to watch at home. The earth is dying, and those still alive must fight to survive within the wake of unrivaled disasters. The apocalyptic event in Finding Eden is Earth shifting off its axis, causing disasters all over the world that turn the planet into a wasteland. The film features an ensemble cast including Jason Sutton, Joseph Gatt, Tom Proctor, Kelly Rose, Yindra Zayas, Raul Colon, Kris Kozlowski, and Michael Campion. This is one of those films where the concept is out of the league of the filmmaking. I really wish this was better than it looks, because man oh man it looks pretty bad – even with bow-&-arrow-Jesus in it. ›››

First Trailer for Captivating Refugee Documentary 'Wake Up on Mars'

"I just hope they'll wake up." An official festival promo trailer has debuted for an indie documentary titled Wake Up on Mars, which was set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this month. With the festival launching an online version this week, the doc is hoping to stand out from the crowd. The film focuses on Furkan, the youngest member of a Roma family living in Sweden. His two teenage sisters lie in a vegetative state in their small Swedish home of their Kosovar family, the cause of their mysterious malady, known as "resignation syndrome," entwined with their personal trauma experienced as refugees. Hoping their asylum request is granted, as they do not want to return to Kosovo, Furkan dreams of building his own spaceship to go live on Mars and help save his two sisters. Described as a "delicate, beautifully realized story of a refugee Roma family." This looks like a moving and inspiring story of hope - something we need more of right now. ›››

Scott Adkins & Louis Mandylor in Trailer for 'Debt Collectors' Sequel

"She gave it up way too easy, French." Samuel Goldwyn Films has debuted the first official trailer for Debt Collectors, also known as The Debt Collector 2, a sequel to the 2018 action crime thriller also titled The Debt Collector (also with Scott Adkins and also directed by former stuntman Jesse V. Johnson). As the title indicates, this time there are TWO debt collectors who get into a whole load of trouble trying to collect from a dirty casino owner in Las Vegas. "Facing danger from all angles, the pair will have no other choice but to fight their way out of an explosively dangerous situation." Of course. Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor star as French and Sue, along with Vladimir Kulich, Mayling Ng, Louie Ski Carr, Charity Collins, and Marina Sirtis. This looks exactly like the extra dumb, packed with pointless action, barely bargain bin, pile of filmmaking junk you're expecting it to look like. Up to you if that's your kind of entertainment or not. ›››
