‘Coming Home in the Dark’ is Purely Shocking and Unrelenting

Published

on

Coming Home

I was able to see Coming Home in the Dark at Chattanooga Film Festival. The screening managed to be a surprise twice that night. Once because it was the big secret screening and closing night film, and two it was a non stop ride of unrelenting madness. Think, The Hitcher. But, no room to breathe. The latest trailer is good at teasing the film without giving away too much.

The synopsis for Coming Home in the Dark goes like this:

A family’s idyllic outing at an isolated coastline descends into terror when high school teacher Alan ‘Hoaggie’ Hoaganraad, his wife Jill, and stepsons Maika and Jordon unexpectedly come across a pair of murderous drifters​ – ​the enigmatic psychopath Mandrake and his hulking man-child accomplice Tubs​ – who thrust them into a ​nightmare road trip. At first, the family’s terror seems to be born of a random encounter with two sociopaths​, b​ut as the night drags​​ on​,​ Hoaggie and Jill realize that this nightmare ​was set in motion 20 years earlier; and as they approach their mysterious final destination​, ​Mandrake reveals the horrible secret driving his actions​.​

Coming Home in the Dark manages to yank you by your throat from minute to minute. It doesn’t play by the rules and only gets darker from there. It isn’t a strict horror film either it has some heavy weight in the plot department, that you have to witness.

Coming Home in the Dark arrives in select theaters and on digital and VOD beginning Oct. 1.

New ‘The Watchers’ Trailer Adds More to the Mystery

Published

on

Although the trailer is almost double its original, there is still nothing we can glean from The Watchers other than a harbinger parrot who loves to say, “Try not to die.” But what do you expect this is a Shyamalan project, Ishana Night Shyamalan to be exact.

She is the daughter of twist-ending prince director M. Night Shyamalan who also has a movie coming out this year. And just like her father, Ishana is keeping everything mysterious in her movie trailer.

“You can’t see them, but they see everything,” is the tagline for this movie.

They tell us in the synopsis: “The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.”

The Watchers opens theatrically on June 7.

For those who were wondering when Founders Day was going to make it to digital, your prayers have been answered: May 7.

So what happened to Founders Day? It was a January baby but hasn’t been available to rent on digital until now. Not to worry, JoBlo via Coming Soon reports that the elusive slasher is heading to your digital rental queue early next month.

“A small town is shaken by a series of ominous killings in the days leading up to a heated mayoral election.”

Although the film isn’t considered a critical success, it still has some nice kills and surprises. The film was shot in New Milford , Connecticut back in 2022 and falls under the Dark Sky Films horror banner.

New F-Bomb Laden ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Trailer: Bloody Buddy Movie

Published

on

Deadpool & Wolverine might be the buddy movie of the decade. The two heterodox superheroes are back in the latest trailer for the summer blockbuster, this time with more f-bombs than a gangster film.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Movie Trailer

This time the focus is on Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman. The adamantium-infused X-Man is having a bit of a pity party when Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) arrives on the scene who then tries to convince him to team up for selfish reasons. The result is a profanity-filled trailer with a Strange surprise at the end.

Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. It comes out on July 26. Here is the latest trailer, and we suggest if you are at work and your space isn’t private, you might want to put in headphones.
