SCREAMBOX’s Meta Horror Trip ‘Delicate Arch’ Shatters Reality in Fiery Opening Scene

What if the audience watching a horror movie served as the monster menacing its characters in real time? The fourth wall won’t protect you from Delicate Arch.

Ahead of the meta mind-minder’s SCREAMBOX premiere on February 11, you can exclusively watch a desperate man burn in the fiery opening scene below.

Four college kids with fracturing relationships take a camping trip in order to escape an ecological disaster. Alone in the desert, they begin to suspect that their reality might not be as it seems, and soon realize they’re being watched.

Writer-director Matthew Warren shatters reality with his feature debut. William Leon, Kelley Mack (“The Walking Dead”), Kevin Bohleber (V/H/S/Beyond), and Rene Leech star.

Filmed on location in Salt Lake City and Moab, Utah, the SCREAMBOX Exclusive film leveraged the natural beauty of Arches National Park to contrast with the untold horrors that await.

“After a five-year journey that provided an education in way more than just filmmaking, I’m filled with nervous excitement to finally debut our film for wider audiences — thanks to the great and gory minds at SCREAMBOX, who recently released Terrifier 3 onto an unsuspecting public,” says Warren. “While it’s weird to think Art the Clown is now technically a coworker, I couldn’t think of a better venue for reaching our audience.”

Delicate Arch joins SCREAMBOX’s extensive library of unique horror content, including Terrifier 2, Street Trash, RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls, Frogman, Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story, Tales from the Void, and The Outwaters.

Bill Skarsgård Joins Hugh Jackman in A24’s ‘The Death of Robin Hood’

Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One) directs the upcoming dark reimagining The Death of Robin Hood for A24, and Deadline reports the latest casting news today.

Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) will star alongside the previously announced Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer.

A24 is planning a theatrical release for the film here in the United States.

The Death of Robin Hood is said to be “a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set of its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battleworn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman who offers him a chance at salvation.”

Michael Sarnoski wrote the screenplay and will be directing the film.

Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Lyrical’s Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers will executive-produce with Rama Gottumukkala, Sarnoski, and Jackman.

“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” teased Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of RPC. “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral.”

Shawn Ashmore & Garret Dillahunt Star in Serial Killer Thriller ‘The Huntsman’

Shawn Ashmore (X-Men) and Garret Dillahunt (“Fear the Walking Dead”) star in The Huntsman, a serial killer thriller based on the 2022 novel of the same name by nurse-turned-author Judith Sanders.

Strive Global Media is serving as the sales representative for the film, which will premiere at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin, Deadline reports.

Ashmore stars as ICU nurse who volunteers as a reader for a recovering coma patient (Dillahunt) who is the prime suspect in the savage murders of six young women in a small southwestern town.

Elizabeth Mitchell (“Lost”) co-stars as the suspect’s wife, struggling with the mounting complexities of the investigation. With a seasoned detective, played by Jessy Schram (“Chicago Med”), on the case, numerous suspects come to light, and each new revelation leads to a shocking twist.

Kyle Kauwika Harris directs from a script he co-wrote with Steven Jon Whritner.

“The Huntsman is that rare gem, a delicious thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat and has a touch of nostalgia for the great classic thrillers of the ’90s,” Miriam Elchanan, President of Sales & Acquisitions at Strive Global Media, said in a statement. “We are so pleased to be representing it.”

Whritner added: “We’re thrilled that Strive Global Media has embraced The Huntsman and will be introducing it in Berlin. As an elevated thriller with an exceptional ensemble cast, it’s vital that our film is represented by such an experienced sales team, one that’s shown a genuine passion for the material.”

The Huntsman is produced by Safehouse Films and Plymouth Rock Entertainment.

10 Hidden Horror Gems to Stream on Tubi This Super Bowl Weekend

One of the year’s biggest televised events is already here: it’s Super Bowl time!

This weekend, Tubi will stream the Super Bowl, live and in 4K, for free. No cable login or credit card is required. Of course, Tubi’s expansive catalog filled with deep cuts means that there’s a lot more to explore beyond the big game. Any excuse to watch more horror is a valid one!

Whether you’re looking to explore the streaming platform beyond the Super Bowl or simply seeking hidden horror gems you may have missed, we’re here to help.

These ten hidden horror gems include everything from rare anthologies to schlocky ’80s fun to underrated cult classics and beyond. Don’t miss these 10 hidden horror gems on Tubi now.


Campfire Tales

This rare ’90s horror anthology feature was initially slated for theatrical release before getting sent straight to VHS in 1997, arriving a year ahead of Urban Legend. Why is that relevant? The anthology’s segments all center around familiar urban legends, from retro classics like “The Hook” to a contemporary, skin-crawling take on “Humans Can Lick Too.” It’s just not the slickly directed and engaging twists on familiar tales that make this anthology so winsome, but a talented cast filled with recognizable talent that includes James Marsden, Ron Livingston, Christine Taylor, and more.


Death Spa

Death Spa supernatural slasher

Also known as Witch Bitch in Europe, this wacky ‘80s slasher movie takes aim at the decade’s fitness craze in the most entertaining way. Michael Evans (William Bumiller) owns and runs a high-tech health club, but it soon becomes plagued by a series of freak accidents and bizarre deaths. It turns out his deceased wife holds a massive grudge and has taken to possessing the facility and gym equipment to torment Michael from beyond the grave. A ghost that kills out of jealousy through gym equipment is every bit as silly and as entertaining as it sounds.


Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo

Frostbiter

This raucous, DIY charmer was filmed in Michigan in 1988 but released in 1995 by Troma Entertainment. That’s the first sign that Frostbiter owes a great debt to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead II. The plot, like Raimi’s classic, follows friends spending a weekend away in a cabin, where they unwitting let loose a great evil that wreaks havoc in splatstick ways. In this instance, it’s a Wendigo, albeit in name only; Frostbiter is mostly a creature feature extravaganza of all varieties. If the kitchen sink approach to this low-budget horror comedy doesn’t worm its way into your heart, its outrageous soundtrack certainly will.


Lady Vengeance

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

The third entry in Park Chan-wook’s Vengeance trilogy, also titled Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, follows a wrongly convicted woman as she embarks on a visceral, violent quest for retribution upon exiting her 13-year prison stint. The crime? Kidnapping and murdering a child is the type of sensitive subject matter that gets explored to its fullest and bleakest here. Park Chan-wook’s flair for dramatics and strong visuals, a riveting lead performance, and an occasional burst of levity set this entry apart. It’s also deeply satisfying; Lee Geum-ja’s (Lee Young-ae) pursuit of justice builds to a suitably bloody reckoning.


Lemora: A Child’s Tale of the Supernatural

Lemora

A devout 13-year-old girl is summoned to visit her dying father in Prohibition-era America, and her journey there becomes fraught with vampires and feral things. Lemora is light on plotting but heavy on gothic, fevered dream atmosphere by framing this story from the perspective of a sheltered girl setting out on her own into a dangerous world. Lila Lee, played by then-18-year-old Cheryl Lynn “Rainbeaux” Smith (Phantom of the Paradise actor and former Joan Jett drummer), makes for a root-worthy lead in this temptation tale with a serious sleazy creep factor.


Martin

Martin

George A. Romero’s Martin centers on a young man who believes himself to be a vampire. Martin has no pointy fangs and isn’t susceptible to garlic or holy water; he simply wants to slice open his victims with a razor and drink. But it’s so much more skin-crawling than that description suggests; Martin is one unnerving character. Romero gives a unique spin on vampire lore, injecting social commentary into the mix. The horror legend has also said in the past that he considers this his favorite of his own films. It’s also a bit of a streaming rarity, so don’t skip this one.


The Other Side of Underneath

The other side of underneath

Writer/Director Jane Arden examines the mind of a woman diagnosed as schizophrenic, telling a story of repressed guilt framed within a therapy session for girls. In other words, this dramatic, unsettling freakout film doesn’t adhere to a conventional narrative structure but instead immerses viewers in the claustrophobic, fractured mind of its lead and fellow patients. Arden captures an unfiltered, dizzying psychological breakdown through techniques that evoke extreme voyeuristic discomfort. It’s as haunting as it is challenging, and there’s nothing else quite like it.


Paperhouse

Paperhouse

Before Candyman, filmmaker Bernard Rose directed this surreal ’80s horror fantasy that sees a lonely girl making friends with a sickly boy that she meets in the dream world she created. Dreams sometimes curdle into petrifying nightmares, though. Rose creates a unique aesthetic with haunting visuals, but the emotional poignancy of the central characters and their journey makes this a real standout. Bleak and heartbreaking, but with innocence and hope. The dark horror fantasy is based on the 1958 novel Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr. 


Psycho Beach Party

Summer Themed Horror - Psycho Beach Party

A kitschy horror comedy that riffs on ‘60s beach party movies, psychodrama, and ‘80s slashers. It’s a parody based on an off-Broadway play that brings the camp in high doses. Lauren Ambrose stars as the Gidget-like Florence, a young woman determined to become the first female surfer at Malibu Beach. Complicating matters is a string of murders, in which Florence becomes the prime suspect because of her dissociative identity disorder. In terms of its slasher elements, Psycho Beach Party is pretty tame. This is more of a genre-adjacent spoof than an outright slasher movie, so this pick is more for fans seeking something outside of the box and fun.


Strangeland

Strangeland Dee Snider on tubi

Rock musician and Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider didn’t just star in Strangeland as Captain Howdy, the creepy sadist who lures teens through the internet; he wrote and produced. The concept for Strangeland stems from a song on Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry album. Linda Cardellini stars as a young teen caught in Captain Howdy’s crosshairs, with Robert Englund appearing as an activist group leader who prefers to take justice into his own hands. While this 1998 horror movie shows its age, particularly for its use of technology and early internet chatrooms, the movie developed a cult following over the years. So much so that sequel talks persist today.
