Cheesy Trailer for 'Wizard Of Death: Rise of the Tinman' Bad Horror "Those trails are marked, all right, marked in blood." Uh huh. ITN Studios has revealed the official trailer for Wizard Of Death: Rise of the Tinman (also called Wizard of Death: Tinman's Rise), the next bad public domain character horror movie spin-off you don't want to see. Now that L. Frank Baum's original The Wizard of Oz story has entered the public domain, one of the first horror B-movie spins is focusing on the character of the Tinman. Turning him into a "heart hungry" killer. Ughh. Why must they keep doing this? (Also see from this week: Pinocchio Unstrung.) A family outing spirals into a fight for survival against the Tin Man, a heart-hungry machine risen from the old ruins of Oz. Wizard Of Death: Tinman's Rise stars Lauren Staerck, James Shenton, Paul Andrew Goldsmith, Connor Horrigan, & Dylan Reeves-Fellows. I wish these dumb horror riffs were any good. Alas they're always cheap & cheesy & sleazy. Skip it. // Continue Reading ›

Stunning Teaser for Sci-Fi Animation 'Cosmo Princess' by Quentin Rgx Whoa! This is awesome. Get a look this stunning teaser for an animation project in the works called Cosmo Princess, created by an animation filmmaker in France named Quentin Rigaux (also known as Quentin Rgx on YouTube). This teaser debuted last year but we're only catching up with it now - thanks to a tip from Cartoon Brew recently. It's now being turned into a full-on 90 minute feature film by one of the producers of Flow, and he's shopping it around & presenting it at markets to build up interest & get financing to develop it. Cosmo Princess is handmade 2D animation project with a style that is reminiscent of grainy, old school epic sci-fi animation from the 70s & 80s. Here's the basic story intro: "Sometime, somewhere in the endless cosmos, a lost astronaut and cosmic princess collide. His hope: to return home. Hers: to escape her destiny of becoming a star. Fascinated by his tales of 'Earth,' she helps him find his way back, hoping to find refuge herself." It looks amazing and I'm glad someone is letting Quentin turn this into an actual movie. I cannot wait to see more footage! Reminds me of animation like they used to make, but don't make much anymore. // Continue Reading ›

10 Terrific Films! Olly Gibbs' Best Picture Nominees from 2025 Poster The 2026 Academy Awards are coming up just around the corner - the glamorous ceremony is being held late on March 15th this year hosted by Conan O'Brien. Leading up this big Hollywood event, all the poster designers have been creating their annual set of poster designs for the 10 Best Picture nominees. However, there is always one design that we anxiously wait for year after year - the Golden Statue illustrations created by UK artist Olly Gibbs. Every year, he creates a unique Oscar statue design for each of the 10 Best Picture nominated movies and adds lots of elements & tiny details from each one into the illustration. Gibbs started this in 2014, and has been creating new designs for the series of BP nominees each winter. It's similar to the incredible set of Golden Statues created by Olly Moss for the 85th Academy Awards but with its own distinct look & feel. In celebration of the upcoming 2026 Oscar ceremony, Gibbs has unveiled his set of 10 statues for the 10 nominees from 2025. What is winning? It's gotta be either Sinners or One Battle After Another - or maybe something else? These are as perfectly imagined as always every year. Check out the full set below. // Continue Reading ›

Tobin Bell & Tony Todd in 'The Bunker' Alien Invasion Sci-Fi Film Trailer "Don't trust your team. They're lying to you." Electric Ent. has unveiled the official trailer for a sci-fi indie film titled The Bunker, finally getting released this year. The Bunker has been in the works for years. The film was inspired by the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns and principal photography took place back in May 2021 in Los Angeles. This premiered at FrightFest in 2024 and is now releasing to watch on VOD. Earth faces an unprecedented new threat as mysterious alien ships appear in the sky. Dr. Michelle Riley, a micropathogen specialist, is sealed in an underground bunker, tasked with developing a biological weapon to combat the extraterrestrial invaders. A suspenseful sci-fi thriller set in a strange underground facility where survival, technology & big secrets collide. Chelsea Edmundson stars as Dr. Riley, with Chad Michael Collins, Tobin Bell, Christopher Matthew Cook, Cullen Douglas, Debbie Fan, Sharif Ibrahim, plus the late Tony Todd (RIP) as Frank Lawrence, and army commander for the White House. This reminds me of that bad War of the Worlds at first glance, especially ripping off that Alien sound n this trailer. Check it out. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for History Documentary 'The Eichmann Trial' About 1961 "This is an unusual defendant..." Madman Films in Australia has posted a new trailer for the documentary film titled The Eichmann Trial, a look back at this famous trial in 1961. This doc already premiered back in 2023, playing at the Miami Jewish Film Festival and a few other fests. It was released in the US to watch on VOD but is only now just getting released in Australia - we missed it then but it seems like a fascinating trip back into the past. In 1961, history was on trial... in a trial that made history. Just 15 years after the end of WWII, the Holocaust had been largely forgotten. That changed with the capture of Adolf Eichmann, a former Nazi officer hiding in Argentina. With rarely-seen archival footage, The Eichmann Trial shows just what happened at this major event in history at a trial held in Jerusalem. The first effort in a decades-long attempt to combat Holocaust denial – with a chilling look at how Eichmann tried to outsmart prosecutors. Told entirely through archival footage of the trial itself and attending news coverage, The Eichmann Trial documents one of the most shocking trials in history, and the birth of Holocaust awareness and education. // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for Excellent 'Everybody to Kenmure Street' Activism Doc "They will not divide us! Black and white, unite and fight!" Icarus Films has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film titled Everybody to Kenmure Street, one of the most engaging and deeply inspiring films of the year so far. This premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival a few months ago, and I listed it as one of 10 best films at the festival. It's also screening this week at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival before it opens soon in the UK first. It will eventually hit theaters in the US and I hope people will watch it. Set in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, it follows the true story of hat happens during an immigration raid. In May 2021, a U.K. Home Office dawn raid triggers one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. In Scotland's most diverse neighborhood, hundreds of residents rush down to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbors. This is the true story of Everybody to Kenmure Street. Aside from being a rousing story of community action successfully working, it's just an excellent doc film that showcases the power of great filmmaking to tell important stories. I fully recommend catching this doc. // Continue Reading ›

Amusing Trailer for 'The Other Bennet Sister' Awkward Comedy Series "The most important thing is to be yourself." BBC has unveiled their trailer for a fun comedy series called The Other Bennet Sister, which will be streaming in the UK on BBC later this month. A romantic comedy about one of the other Bennet sisters in the big family from Jane Austen's iconic novel Pride and Prejudice. The Other Bennet Sister offers a fresh take on one of Austen's most unassuming characters: Mary Bennet. Forced to step out of her sisters' shadows, Mary embarks on a journey of self-discovery – finding love, and most importantly herself, along the way. Mary leaves her sisters' shadows to find herself, embarking on a journey from Meryton to London and the Lake District. Her quest for independence leads to an unexpected love story in Regency-era England. Starring Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet, with Ruth Jones as Mrs Bennet, Richard E. Grant as Mr Bennet, Indira Varma, Richard Coyle, Laurie Davidson, & Dónal Finn as Mr Hayward. It seems like a kooky, clever twist on the usual Jane Austen stories on screen. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›

First Look Teaser for Cartoon Saloon's 'Kindred Spirits' Animated Film "So come with me – you will see big rock candy mountain!" Cartoon Saloon has revealed the first teaser for their next new animation project titled Kindred Spirits, directed by the studio's co-founder & animation master Tomm Moore. It's the latest feature he is directing himself since making the brilliant Wolfwalkers in 2020. It' expected to be finished only in 2028 or 2029 - as these kind of hand-made animation projects take years to complete, especially when made independently by a small studio like Cartoon Saloon. The film follows an Irish refugee child alone in 1840s New York and a Choctaw Nation son far from his family. When their paths align, Mara and Tushka will journey through epic adventures and magical encounters, watched over by Mara's brother Dan, who cannot accept his passing into the spirit realm. Together they are searching for a people to call family and a place to call home. Exploring the historic bond between Irish & Choctaw nations, Kindred Spirits is a film about grace, compassion, and humanity. No voice cast revealed yet - only this quick glimpse of footage so far. Stay tuned as they continue working on this lovely new film. Get a peek. // Continue Reading ›

This is once again based on a book written by Margaret Atwood – it's actually the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale and follows another new generation of young women who decide to rise up and rebel.

New US Trailer for 'I Swear' - THE Must Watch Film About Tourette's "Don't forget - no swearing." Sony Pictures Classics has debuted a new US trailer for the Scottish film titled I Swear, which just won three major BAFTA Awards a few weeks ago. This film about a young man with Tourette's first premiered at TIFF last year and already opened in UK theaters last fall hitting #1 at the box office. From the acclaimed director Kirk Jones (of Waking Ned Devine, Nanny McPhee, Everybody's Fine, What to Expect When You're Expecting) and based on a true story. Diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at age 15, John Davidson faced and overcame many hardships from adolescence and into early adulthood as a result of what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 80s Britain. I Swear is a funny, heartfelt and moving account of John’s experiences. He went on to make the 1989 doc John's Not Mad at a time when his Tourette's condition was barely identifiable. Starring actor Robert Aramayo (who plays Elrond in The Rings of Power) as John, with Peter Mullan, Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson, Paul Donnelly, and Scott Ellis Watson. Aramayo won the BAFTA Prize for Best Actor and I already wrote an article in defense of this award. The film finally opens in the US in April – and it's an absolutely must watch. // Continue Reading ›

Sneaky Teaser for Season 2 of 'Beef' Series with Isaac, Mulligan, Spaeny The showdown continues! Netflix has revealed the sneaky first look teaser trailer for Beef - Season 2, the highly anticipated next season to the acclaimed 2023 series Beef about two people getting into an epic fight (which is a must watch on Netflix if you've never seen it). "The intention with Beef was always to have it in anthology. We wanted the feeling of this season's beef to be a bit more passive-aggressive. It's more about the internal repression of rage that you see in the workplace." Trading the parking lot for the country club, the new season begins when a young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife - setting off a high-stakes game of favors and coercion within an elitist world ruled by a Korean billionaire. Gen-Z couple witnesses an alarming fight between their Millennial boss and his wife. Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny, Charles Melton, and guest starring Youn Yuh-jung & Song Kang-ho. "It'll be interesting to see with these two how they react to life's first real struggles." It definitely will be interesting. Incredible cast in this – impossible not to want to watch this right away when it drops in April. // Continue Reading ›

A Battle Between Fathers in Family Comedy 'Preschool' Funny Trailer "I don't know which one of the two of ya are crazier!" Paramount Movies has debuted a fun official trailer for Preschool, a family comedy directed by none other than Josh Duhamel.

Directed by Duhamel, the movie also stars Josh Duhamel as one of the dads, along with Michael Socha as his rival.

Bren Foster Stars in Intense Action Thriller Movie 'Mexicali' Full Trailer Once Upon a Time in Mexicali! Samuel Goldwyn Films has revealed the official trailer for an action thriller movie called Mexicali, the latest of these junk direct-to-video action films to skip over entirely.

Truly an original concept that we have never seen. An ex-special forces contractor who has retired to live a peaceful life as an avocado farmer in Mexico must fight again when local gangsters try to force him and his family off their farm. This stars Bren Foster (9-time world champion martial artist seen in Deep Blue Sea 3, The Last Ship), along with Plutarco Haza, Tania Raymonde, and Kris Van Damme. This looks as obvious & unoriginal as every other one of these. Have at it if want action. // Continue Reading ›

First Look Teaser for HBO's 'Laterns' Series About DC's Green Lanterns "You manifested it early. The official Lanterns teaser is here." Take a look at this! DC + HBO have revealed the first look teaser trailer for their new Green Lanterns spin-off series called simply Lanterns - set for a streaming debut coming up this August. Lanterns follows new recruit John Stewart & Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. Featuring Kyle Chandler playing Hal Jordan, the fan fave Green Lantern, along with Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, the newcomer. The cast includes Kelly Macdonald, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner (from Gunn's Superman), Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Nicole Ari Parker, Jason Ritter, Sherman Augustus, and Paul Ben-Victor as villain Antaan. Green Lanterns are intergalactic peacekeepers with rings that give them powers. The series ends up in Nebraska, leading them to darker mysteries & reckonings. So it's kind of True Detective but with Lanterns? Why not. They made a big Green Lantern movie back in 2011 (which we covered for its release) with Ryan Reynolds but it didn't do very well. Now they're trying a reboot under James Gunn's leadership. How will it turn out? // Continue Reading ›

Florida Man Finds a Mermaid in Horror Comedy Film 'Mermaid' Trailer "Daddy's gotta go save a mermaid." Utopia has unveiled an official trailer for a funky indie comedy about a Florida Man called Mermaid, about a guy who finds a mermaid and brings her home. But yep - this one is less about the mermaid, more about what a kooky Florida Man would do with a new mermaid friend & what happens when everyone else finds out (hint: it's not good). Mermaid premiered at last year's 2025 SXSW Film Festival (one year ago) and opens in the US this April. A drug addicted Florida man finds a wounded mermaid at his lowest point. When word spreads about his secret, he'll stop at nothing to protect her. This stars Johnny Pemberton as Doug, Avery Potemri as the mermaid he names "Destiny", Kevin Nealon, Kirk Fox, Julia Larson, Devyn McDowell, Tom Arnold, with Robert Patrick & Kevin Dunn. The reviews are actually quite good - stating: "the film hangs on Pemberton’s performance, and he imbues Doug with a sweetness that makes us feel for him despite his deeply misguided actions." This looks super weird & wacky - they don't show the mermaid in this trailer because it turns into a horror story at one point. Freaky. // Continue Reading ›

Beautiful US Trailer for Ildikó Enyedi's 'Silent Friend' Film About Trees "I am trying something totally new." 1-2 Special has unveiled their official US trailer for the wonderful film Silent Friend, one of my Top 10 films of 2025 from last year's film festivals. 🌳 Silent Friend is the latest fascinating creation by award-winning Hungarian filmmaker Ildikó Enyedi. It first premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival and should've won the Golden Lion - most agree, but the jury did not. Silent Friend is set at a university centered around a giant, old ginkgo tree. The film follows three intertwined stories at different time periods, exploring the idea of trees & plants being sentient and interacting with people. In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands a majestic ginkgo tree. This silent witness has observed over a century the quiet rhythms of transformation across three human lives... This stars Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Luna Wedler (who won a Venice award), Enzo Brumm, Sylvester Groth, Martin Wuttke, Johannes Hegemann, Rainer Bock, Marlene Burow, as well as the iconic Léa Seydoux. I fell hard for the film - it's an instant all-timer favorite, everything about it is magical. So many beautiful shots and interactions with all the plants & trees within... Don't miss this film when it opens. // Continue Reading ›

Scary Rogue AI Drone Sci-Fi Action Thriller Film 'Dragn' Official Trailer "Whoever controls the machines controls the future." Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting have debuted the official trailer for a sci-fi action thriller called Dragn, also listed as DRAGN. Another new AI thriller about an AI machine/robot that goes rogue and hunts down humans. Dragn centers on a group of co-workers on a routine corporate team-building trip, which transforms into a nightmare when they unwittingly become the prey of a rogue AI-driven drone. The intense film delves into the fragility of the human mind, the dangers of AI warfare, and the indomitable spirit required to confront terror in an increasingly digital world. Starring James Paxton, Lilly Krug, Carlos Bardem, Alice Pagani, Jadran Malkovich, Franz Drameh, and Alex Lane. This will be out to watch on VOD later this month - skipping theaters entirely. It's amusing they designed the drone to literally look like a dragon with a tail and all. This reminds me of the other Netflix sci-fi action thriller War Machine debuting soon, too. Just the start of many killer AI horror movies on the way. // Continue Reading ›

Peacock has revealed the wacky full official trailer for the comedy series called The Miniature Wife, arriving for streaming starting in April.

A technological accident serves as a catalyst for Lindy and Les, a married couple, to re-evaluate their relationship's power dynamics, leading to a dramatic showdown as they vie for control in their marriage. Starring Matthew Macfadyen & Elizabeth Banks as the couple at the center, the series examines the power (im)balances between two spouses after an accident results in creating the ultimate relationship crisis. Based on a short story written by Manuel Gonzales. The book intro: "In slightly fantastical settings, Gonzales illustrates very real guilt over small and large marital missteps, the intense desire for the reinvention of self, and the powerful urges we feel to defend and provide for the people we love." Also starring Zoe Lister-Jones, Sofia Rosinsky, O-T Fagbenle, Sian Clifford, Ronny Chieng, Aasif Mandvi, Rong Fu, and Tricia Black. This looks like bonkers fun playing around with miniatures!

Brutal Trailer for 'Pinocchio: Unstrung' Dark Horror Take on This Tale "I'm going to be a real boy. I'm going to be just like James!" Jagged Edge Productions has revealed the first official trailer for their latest totally ridiculous B-movie horror riff called Pinocchio: Unstrung. From the same company behind the trashy public domain horror movies – they're still at it bringing us more. A dark coming-of-age slasher reimagining of Pinocchio, made by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, this unsettling tale follows the iconic puppet's disturbing journey toward becoming real. The 5th installment of The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) – a horror retelling of Carlo Collodi's original 1883 novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio." With Richard Brake as Geppetto, Robert Englund as Cricket, & Cameron Bell as James. They explain their take: "We built Pinocchio as a fully practical animatronic because I wanted him to feel real. This is a twisted coming-of-age story told from the puppet's perspective: a creation struggling for autonomy while being manipulated by the sinister forces around him." This looks utterly disgusting, extremely stupid, and especially cheesy but that's exactly what they're going for hoping some people will watch it. Tread carefully. // Continue Reading ›
