A second official trailer for Ian Tuason’s sonically driven horror flick, Undertone, has arrived today. Picked up by A24 shortly after it premiered at Fantasia, they are putting it out in theaters on March 13th. And that’s about it, really. New trailer. Go watch. Woo!…
Lucy Walters, Hudson West, and Will Lyman star in the horror drama, directed by Andrew Mudge.
After winning an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2022 for Navalny, filmmaker Daniel Roher (Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band) shifted his focus from the documentary format (Blink) to narrative storytelling with Tuner, an engrossing, if uneven, crime-thriller, co-starring Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman in a pivotal role as an aging, past-his-prime, NYC-based piano tuner and Leo Woodall as his only protege and the heir apparent to his man-in-a-van business. Closely inspired by Michael Mann’s Thief and Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, Tuner centers on Niki (a standout turn from The White Lotus alum Woodall), a onetime child prodigy-turned-tuner equipped and/or burdened with a unique skillset. Blessed and/or gifted with not only perfect pitch, but an extreme sensitivity to sound bordering on the pathological…
Charli XCX’s meteoric rise as a mega-pop-star has been anything but meteoric. It’s been a slow, upward descent, from posting videos on a long-defunct social-media platform, MySpace, in 2008 at the age of sixteen, to signing with a record label two years later, followed by mixtapes, collabs, and ultimately, a series of albums, each one bigger than the last, culminating with the 14-track album, “brat,” two years ago and the subsequent social media frenzy that turned Charli XCX into a worldwide pop-cultural phenemenon. That might as well have been a decade ago and the late, lamented summer of 2024. Since then, “brat summer” has congealed into a rapidly fading pop-cultural, vaguely remembered collective memory. For “Charlie XCX,” the lightly tweaked iteration of…
In a world where all press is good press we are following up on the release of the teaser trailer for the new Faces of Death movie on Tuesday. It got yanked by YouTube, who issued a takedown notice for its “violent or graphic content.” Allow me to play the cynic on this one. Ahem. Cough. “Quelle Suprise!” Hats off to the marketing team for trying to generate controversy and outrage, hopefully enough to garner more interest in this modern iteration of the cult series of films and get those bums in seats. And today, Independent Film Company and Shudder announced that they have acquired North American rights to this new film and will handle the theatrical release on…

Vicky Jewson’s thriller, PRETTY LETHAL, will stream globally on Prime Video days after its World Premiere at SXSW
“Five ballerinas, stranded in a remote forest … must weaponize!” If that partial quote, borrowed from a film below, doesn’t get you excited for SXSW 2026, I don’t know what will, my friends.

Joachim Trier and Eskil Vogt reflect on how long-term collaboration, actor-centered process, and a resolutely European production ethos shaped a film built around time, absence, and the quiet mechanics of family power.
Deadline is reporting that Sophie Wilde, star of Talk to Me and Babygirl, is set to star in an upcoming sci-fi thriller, Soon You Will Be Gone And Possibly Eaten. Rob and Sabile, a young engaged couple, who head to a secluded mountain resort to take their vows and step into the new chapter of their shared lives. What was planned as a joyous wedding attended by family members takes a different turn when unexpected guests crash the ceremony.

Egor Abramenko, the filmmaker behind A24’s upcoming horror film…
