We get four time periods, or five, if we count returning to one of them. TRAUMATIKA starts in 1910 Egypt, where a distraught man roams the sand dunes with a small statue of Volpaazu, “creator of evil,” which he buries in the sand. The […]Read On »

A recent entry in the sincerest form of HELLRAISER flattery is FLESH OF THE UNFORGIVEN, which features an entity known as the Death Dealer.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Abigail Hardingham, Rowan Polonski, Brad Moore, Samantha Steel, Jon M. Chandler Writer: Tiago Teixeira Director: Tiago Teixeira Distributor: The Movie Partnership Release Date: August 19, 2025 (VOD, digital) The title of CUSTOM has two meanings here. The first is commercial, as in made to order. The second refers to ritual. Young working-class English couple Harriet (Abigail Hardingham) and Jasper (Rowan Polonski) are expanding their professional horizons. She’s a photographer, he’s a videographer, and they met in an arts collective. However, their income has left something to be desired, so – using the stage names Flower and […]Read On »

WE'RE NOT SAFE HERE | ©2025 Saban Films

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Sharmita Bhattacharya, Hayley McFarland, Caisey Cole, Margaret Wuerz, Arthur Higbee Writer: Solomon Gray Director: Solomon Gray Distributor: Saban Films Release Date: August 22, 2025 (theatrical, digital, VOD) WE’RE NOT SAFE HERE begins with a wheezing tied-up figure in a chair, with a bloody pillowcase over their head. Someone approaches with a sharp object and utters a shocking line of dialogue. Writer/director Solomon Gray gets our attention immediately with this opening and thereafter holds it steadily throughout. Scares are frequent; unease is constant. We then meet schoolteachers Neeta (Sharmita Bhattacharya) and Sarah (Caisey Cole). Together, they wonder about […]Read On »
