Orion Pictures and Blumhouse Tilt have released a new trailer for The Belko Experiment, an office-set thriller helmed by Wolf Creek director Greg McLean and penned by Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director James Gunn.
The Belko Experiment finds an American corporate office in South America taken over by mysterious captors who threaten to slaughter employees if they don’t kill one another in a bizarre game of survival – now, that’s a team building exercise!
Netflix has released a trailer for its upcoming new series original “The Santa Clarita Diet,” starring 90s sweetheart and sometime scream queen Drew Barrymore. Set to premiere Feb. 3, the horror-comedy marks Barrymore’s return to the genre since 1996’s Scream.
Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant (”Justified”) play married L.A. realtors living unhappily in the suburb of Santa Clarita. Their lives take a life-altering turn when she’s turned into a functioning zombie with a voracious appetite for living flesh.
Acclaimed Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo’s new film, Colossal, is set to release April 7 through Neon. The monster movie stars Anne Hathaway as an alcoholic with great boobs whose chaotic life mirrors the destructive force of a Kaiju beast wreaking havoc in South Korea.
If this is a metaphor for detriment brought on by drinking wonderful, tasty, and empowering alcohol, we already hate it and call for an immediate boycott! If this is about Hathaway’s boobs and monsters, we’re totally in.
Even if you’ve never heard of Elizabeth Whitson, you’d know she’s hot because she played the popular girl on MTV’s “Awkward” and got her start on an episode of “Pretty Little Liars.” Now she’s bringing her hotness to the big screen in Get the Girl, an abduction thriller from Contracted writer/director Eric England.
Get the Girl centers on a staged abduction set up by a wealthy young man to play hero to the woman he loves. Things go terribly wrong when one of the hired kidnappers is accidentally killed and alters the con in a very real way. Whitson, of course, is the girl getting gotten.
Get the Girl arrives in selected theaters Jan. 27.
STIF Entertainmenthas set a Jan. 20 VOD release date for Dead Story, a supernatural thriller starring Kelsey Deanne (Shark Lake) as a young bride whose terrifying visions are either in her head or the new home she and her husband have moved into is haunted.
Dead Story’s plot seems familiar and production value is modest, but the dead girl looks really hot on the poster! Sure, her flesh is rotting and she probably smells pretty funky, but maybe she’s got a great personality. Okay, judging by the trailer, she’s kind of a grump.
A red band trailer has gone online for the French cannibal thriller Raw. Written and directed by Julia Ducournau, the film stars Garance Marillier as a vegetarian who develops a taste for human flesh when she’s viciously hazed at her veterinary school.
The trailer promises a stylish and disturbing film – even kinda sexy. It reportedly caused a couple of people to faint during its world premiere at TIFF. We’ll find out exactly what Ducournau cooked up when Focus World releases Raw on March 10.
Aussie actress Jessica De Gouw stars in The Rezort, a curious re-imagining of Jurassic Park with zombies in place of dinosaurs. Gouw plays Melanie, a zombie apocalypse survivor on safari at a resort where guests can hunt and slaughter the undead in a controlled environment.
Melanie is at the resort to work out her rage. Having lost her family during the zombie uprising, she remains deeply traumatized despite humanity’s eventual victory over the outbreak. Unfortunately, death finds a way and all hell breaks loose again. Content Media releases the film on all digital platforms Jan. 17.
De Gouw is best known for her portrayal of sexy vigilante Helena Bertinelli (aka: Huntress) on The CW’s “Arrow,” Horror fans know her, however, from her role as Dracula’s love interest Mina Murray on NBC’s short-lived series “Dracula.”
Showtime has set a May 21 premiere date for David Lynch’s much anticipated “Twin Peaks” revival. The show debuts with a two-hour episode and will run for 18 mind-bending hours on Sundays until its closed-ended finale.
The official synopsis reads:
Widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential broadcast series of all time, TWIN PEAKS followed the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town who were stunned after their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered.
The town’s sheriff welcomed the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who came to town to investigate the case. As Cooper conducted his search for Laura’s killer, the town’s secrets were gradually exposed.
The mystery that ensued set off an eerie chain of events that plunged the inhabitants of Twin Peaks into a darker examination of their very existence. Twenty-five years later, the story continues…
The “Twin Peaks” revival series features an all-star cast that includes Naomi Watts, Amanda Seyfried, Monica Bellucci, Jessica Szohr, Laura Dern, Sara Paxton, Jeremy Davies, Michael Cera, and series originals Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn, Mädchen Amick, Ray Wise, David Duchovny, and, of course, Kyle MacLachlan as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper.
Remember the romantic comedy Splash? Tom Hanks falls in love with mermaid Daryl Hannah and they live happily ever after under the sea? It’s a delightful movie, but let’s be honest – it needed a couple of mermaid strippers hungry for human flesh.
Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczynska improves on Ron Howard’s classic with the Feb. 1 VOD release of The Lure. Marta Mazurek and Michalina Olszanska play the mermaid sisters, one looking to fall in love and the other in search of dinner.

Netflix continues to bring home our missing movie crushes with its upcoming new series original “The Santa Clarita Diet,” starring 90s sweetheart and sometime scream queen Drew Barrymore. Set to premiere Feb. 3, the horror-comedy marks Barrymore’s return to the genre since 1996’s Scream.
Barrymore stars in the new Netflix series with Timothy Olyphant (“Justified”) as unhappily married realtors in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita whose lives take a devastating and life-altering turn when she’s turned into a functioning zombie with a voracious appetite for living flesh.
Barrymore’s horror creds are from early in her career: Altered States, Firestarter, Cat’s Eye, Poison Ivy, Waxwork II: Lost In Time. But, her role as Casey Becker in Wes Craven’s Scream remains one of horror’s most brutal and memorable scenes. She also appeared in and produced the 2001 cult fav Donnie Darko.
Like Winona Ryder’s triumphant return in Netflix’s enjoyably brilliant “Stranger Things,” we’re looking forward to “Santa Clarita Diet” and Barrymore’s return to horror. We also really like Santa Clarita. There’s a really great Walmart there.
