Just when we thought 2024 was going to be a horror movie wasteland, we got a few good ones in succession, Late Night With the Devil and Immaculate. The former will be available on Shudder starting April 19, the latter just had a surprise drop on digital ($19.99) today and will be getting physical on June 11.

The film stars Sydney Sweeney fresh off her success in the rom-com Anyone but You. In Immaculate, she plays a young nun named Cecilia, who travels to Italy to serve in a convent. Once there, she slowly unravels a mystery about the holy place and what role she plays in their methods.

Thanks to word of mouth and some favorable reviews, the movie has earned over $15 million domestically. Sweeney, who also produces, has waited a decade to get the film made. She purchased the rights to the screenplay, reworked it, and made the film we see today.

The movie’s controversial final scene wasn’t in the original screenplay, director Michael Mohan added it later and said, “It is my proudest directorial moment because it is exactly how I pictured it. “

Whether you go out to see it while it’s still in theaters or rent it from the convenience of your couch, let us know what you think of Immaculate and the controversy surrounding it.

Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for its latest thriller, “Under Paris,” which introduces a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of Paris. Directed by Xavier Gens, known for his work on “Mayhem!” and “Frontiers,” the film combines elements of horror and suspense as it portrays a shark attack in the heart of the French capital.

The plot of “Under Paris” unfolds during the summer of 2024, coinciding with the World Triathlon Championships held in Paris for the first time. The storyline follows Sophia, a skilled scientist, who is alerted by Mika, a young environmental activist, about the presence of a large shark in the Seine River. As the danger becomes imminent, they collaborate with Adil, a commander of the Seine river police, in a desperate effort to prevent a catastrophic attack during the international event.

The trailer reveals a tense scenario as the characters navigate the challenges of dealing with the predatory threat within a bustling urban setting. It showcases scenes of the shark’s movement through the river and the subsequent panic among the Parisian public and authorities.

The casting choices include Bérénice Bejo, known for her role in “The Artist,” alongside Nassim Lyes and Léa Léviant, who contribute to the film’s dramatic depth. The setting of the thriller during a significant sports event adds a layer of authenticity and timeliness, especially with the actual 2024 Summer Olympics scheduled to occur in Paris. “Under Paris” is set for a streaming release on Netflix on June 5th as part of the streaming service’s summer lineup.

The new trailer for “Speak No Evil,” featuring James McAvoy, has just been released, and it’s clear that McAvoy continues to push the boundaries of his acting prowess. Directed by James Watkins, this film is a modern take on the 2022 Danish horror movie, blending dark humor with suspenseful horror in a story about a family inviting friends over to their secluded home, only for their retreat to spiral into a nightmare. Watch the trailer below:

Watkins shared the trailer at the year’s CinemaCon, praising McAvoy for his ability to delve into complex characters. “James has this incredible range, being able to be both incredibly welcoming and, at the same time, deeply disturbing,” Watkins explained. His role in “Speak No Evil” showcases this duality, with McAvoy’s character oscillating between being a gracious host and revealing a menacing side.

Filming took place in Gloucestershire, England, where Watkins likened the production atmosphere to “a summer camp with a twist.” This setting underscores the film’s juxtaposition of idyllic beauty against a backdrop of looming horror.

“Speak No Evil” promises to be a compelling addition to the horror genre, offering not only suspense and terror but also a critical look at the complexities of human nature. McAvoy’s performance is particularly anticipated, as he brings depth and nuance to a character that blurs the lines between friendliness and fear.

This film is poised to captivate audiences with its unique blend of genres, further cementing James McAvoy’s reputation as one of the most versatile actors of his generation. As “Speak No Evil” prepares to hit theaters on September 13th, it’s clear that this will be a must-see for fans of horror and McAvoy alike.
