"You've been given a gift, and it's up to you on how you're going to use it." Abramorama has unveiled an official trailer for a film titled The Short Game, a young golfer drama about family. The feature directorial debut of filmmaker Frank Sanza, this is getting released in limited theaters at the end of July this summer. Ben Krieger stars as Jeremy, a talented golfer, who initially dismisses his autistic brother Ethan's golfing abilities. Faced with the choice between a scholarship and his relationship with Ethan, Jeremy chooses his brother... learning life lessons. A teenage golf prodigy struggling with his game has to care for his autistic brother, who unexpectedly helps him rediscover his confidence—and what truly matters in life. Along with Ben Krieger, the cast includes Mackenzie Astin, Katherine Cunningham, Glenn Morshower, Tyler Lofton, Emma Parks, Adyn Alexander, Brandon Potter, and introducing Owen Himfar as Ethan. There was also a doc in 2013 titled The Short Game about young golfers. This seems like the cheesy opposite to Happy Gilmore 2, more about the nice side of golf and what's possible when we put family above all else. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Frank Sanza's film The […]

"They're willful creatures. You either gonna break them, or they're gonna break you." Briarcliff Ent. has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the film titled Sovereign, an American thriller marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Christian Swegal. It just premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month, and will be out to watch in July in just a few more weeks. Inspired by true events, Sovereign is a tense and provocative true crime thriller about a father and his teenage son — Jerry and Joseph Kane — who follow the "Sovereign Citizen" belief system, a deeply anti-establishment worldview rooted in distrust of government authority. Their journey brings them into conflict with Police Chief Jim Bouchart, setting off a tragic chain of events that forces a reckoning with power, principle, and the limits of freedom. Starring Nick Offerman, Jacob Tremblay, Dennis Quaid, Martha Plimpton, Thomas Mann, and Nancy Travis. Reviews from Tribeca say the film is "emotionally gripping & strikingly captured", a tense look at these kind of American extremists. I definitely do want to see more from this film. Stay tuned for the main trailer soon. Here's the first look teaser trailer (+ poster) for Christian […]

"Oh, Anna... you are our greatest success." Dark Sky Films has revealed the official trailer for a mystery thriller called Woken, an Irish production that's the feature directorial debut of director Alan Friel. This is another film that originally premiered a few years ago – back at the 2023 Trieste Science+Fiction Festival, and 2024 Dublin Film Festival – finally getting released this year. A woman who wakes up from an accident with no memory of who she is, and the realisation that the human race is close to extinction. Oh wait, okay? What is really going on? The film stars Erin Kellyman as Anna, with Maxine Peake, Ivanno Jeremiah, Corrado Invernizzi, and Peter McDonald. Anna is being nursed back to health by Helen and Peter on a remote island in the North Sea after waking up with no memory, pregnant, and in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. This looks a bit like a more horror take on Children of Men, obviously something is going on with his baby being the only one that's still growing. This looks intriguing enough, might end up worth watching. Here's the main official trailer (+ two posters) for Alan Friel's horror film Woken, direct […]

"You're not a monster. Show him your good heart." Here we go! Cineverse has finally unveiled the gnarly, crazy, badass official trailer for the horror remake of The Toxic Avenger, ready to hit theaters this August at the end of this summer. It's looking better than ever! After a two year wait since this first premiered at the genre festivals - it's time to unleash Toxie on everyone evil! The original The Toxic Avenger from 1984 is a Lloyd Kaufman / Troma horror cult classic. Many sequels were made, and spin-offs, but now Troma has teamed up with Legendary for a brand new take.

"We're having a rough day, huh?" Shudder has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror thriller film titled Push, the third horror feature made by filmmakers David Charbonier & Justin Powell. This premiered at the 2024 Sitges Film Festival last year, then also played at the Cinequest Film Festival where it won the Best Horror Feature award. Shudder will be streaming this dark horror film on their channel starting in July coming up this summer. Starring Alicia Sanz and Raúl Castillo, the home invasion film follows Natalie Flores (Sanz), a pregnant realtor who is attacked by a sadistic killer (Castillo) at her open house, sending her into premature labor. Up against a physiological ticking clock, Natalie must find a way to escape before she gives birth. Aside from Sanz and Castillo, the cast also includes David Alexander Flinn. I already saw this in Sitges last year and was not a fan - there's nothing really interesting or unique about this film other than it having some nice cinematography. The rest is pretty boring. But that's just my take! Give it a look anyway. Here's the trailer (+ poster) for David Charbonier & Justin Powell's horror thriller Push, from YouTube: […]

"Why are there no locks on the doors?" Film Movement has revealed an official trailer for a Swiss film titled The Sparrow in the Chimney, also known as Der Spatz im Kamin in German.

The film stars Maren Eggert and Britta Hammelstein as Karen and Jule, plus Luise Heyer, Andreas Döhler, & Milian Zerzawy. This guy's films are always so weird and twisted and trippy, fascinating filmmaking with domestic drama stories. Here's the US trailer (+ poster) for Ramon Zürcher's film The Sparrow in the Chimney, from YouTube: Karen (Maren Eggert) lives with her husband Markus and their children in her idyllic […]

Cody Lightning played Little Viktor in 1998's Sundance hit Smoke Signals, and this is a comedy about him also trying to figure out what his life means after that.

Netflix has revealed an official trailer for the doc Trainwreck: Balloon Boy, the next in their Trainwreck series of unforgettable moments from history. A homemade flying saucer lifts off, and a 6-year-old boy might be inside. National panic ensues when the media begins to cover it non-stop — but what truly happened? This documentary investigates the real story of the Heene Family. It is made by filmmaker Gillian Pachter and delves into this breaking news story in October 2009. A dad claims his son is trapped in a runaway helium balloon - a "flying saucer" from his backyard. News helicopters follow the chase live once they spot the silver UFO. However, the balloon lands safely and there's no one inside, sparking outrage at the family as the story becomes one of America's most infamous hoaxes. The boy was just hiding in the attic all along.

"She's up to something... I want to find out what it is!" Go right ahead. Tubi has revealed an official trailer for the indie horror film titled Please Don't Feed The Children, which will debut streaming directly (for free!) next week on Tubi. The film premiered at last year's Sitges Film Festival, but it's not very good, so it's being dumped on Tubi instead of anything else. It marks the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Destry Allyn Spielberg, who is one of Steven Spielberg's six children, though he was not involved in this in any way (not even as a producer). After a deadly viral outbreak, a group of orphans flees in search of a new life, only to be taken hostage by a woman hiding a sinister secret. Michelle Dockery stars as the psychotic woman who lets these kids into her home only to turn on them... The full cast includes Giancarlo Esposito, Zoe Coletti, Andrew Liner, Dean Scott Vazquez, Regan Aliyah, Emma Meisel, Joshuah Melnick, and Vernon Davis. I was actually at the world premiere of this in Sitges last year, though it's a huge let down – an instantly forgettable "meh" post-apocalyptic horror film. Hopefully she makes […]

"Every character is living in a different reality. And they all distrust each other completely." A24 debuted a making of featurette promo for Ari Aster's Eddington, set to crash into theaters this July. This recently premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews - some love it, some hate it, most were right in the middle. Written & directed by Aster, with Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, plus Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only short synopsis: In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in the small town of Eddington, NM. This is sort of a pandemic movie but it's also more about how the Covid-19 pandemic broke the minds of many Americans, showing the downfall of many people in this one tiny town. Led by the Sheriff who goes crazy while in a feud with the local Mayor. This video spends time with the cast discussing how much they love working with Ari Aster and how sharp this script is - acting as a modern western commenting on small town […]
