Take a Bite Out of a Gnarly ‘Bring Her Back’ Clip

Kick off your weekend with a gnarly clip from Bring Her Back below.

You won’t look at fruit the same way again after watching the video — but if you want to see the most cringe-inducing part, you’ll have to catch the movie in theaters.

In the psychological horror film, a brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.

Produced by A24, Danny & Michael Philippou (Talk to Me) direct from a script by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman.

Sally Hawkins, Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally-Anne Upton, and Stephen Phillips star.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “It’s impressively bold and shocking in the way the directors continue to push horror boundaries and shatter taboos, especially when it comes to kids, ensuring a nail-biting and grueling experience that’ll leave you wincing and squirming in your seat. But it’s so utterly soul crushing in its unwavering darkness that it’s hard to imagine anything coming close to beating it for the mantle of feel bad horror of the year.”

The hunt has begun. An animated anthology movie that features three brand new original Predator stories, Predator: Killer of Killers is now streaming exclusively on Hulu.

The original animated action-adventure film follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause.

An elite squad of six Black soldiers, led by ex-slave Barabbas, is sent on a suicide mission to infiltrate a heavily guarded Confederate fort hidden deep in the Arkansas wilderness.

Teams have been sent before, but no one has ever made it out alive…

Their objective? Destroy the fort’s long-range guns and shift the tide of the war. But as they venture further into enemy territory, the mission takes a chilling turn.

The soldiers uncover a dark and sinister secret buried within the heart of the forest—one that will test their courage, loyalty, and will to survive like never before.

Directed by Trey Edward Shults (Waves, It Comes at Night), the film stars Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd) alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. 

While Abel Tesfaye has acted in recent projects including Uncut Gems and the HBO series “The Idol,” the upcoming movie notably marks the singer’s feature debut on the big screen.

Lionsgate’s Adam Fogelson teased, “Abel is a visionary whose art cannot be confined by any single medium. With Hurry Up Tomorrow, in partnership with Trey, his musical universe expands onto the big screen with a psychological thriller that will usher in a new cinematic experience for fans. We are thrilled to be bringing it to audiences worldwide.”


The true story that inspired horror classic The Exorcist comes to the screen in The Ritual from XYZ Films, and the film is now playing exclusively in movie theaters this weekend.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens star in The Ritual.

Sanctioned by the Church. Condemned by Satan. Based on the true story of the possession of Emma Schmidt, David Midell directs from a script he co-wrote with Enrico Natale.

Two priests, one questioning his faith and one reckoning with a troubled past, must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms. The film is said to be an authentic portrayal of the Schmidt case, which remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.

Ashley Greene (Twilight), Abigail Cowen (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), and Patricia Heaton (“Everybody Loves Raymond”) round out the cast of Midell’s The Ritual.


Andrew Rannells (A Simple Favor) and Nick Kroll (“The League”) have a killer Italian getaway in I Don’t Understand You, which is now playing in theaters from Vertical.

“We’re so happy moviegoers are going to get to see an old school, dark, twisted comedy on the big screen,” said writers-directors David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano.

Dom (Kroll) and Cole (Rannells), a couple on the verge of adopting a baby, embark on an Italian vacation — the perfect opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives.

Things begin to spiral out of control. Lost on the way to dinner, their car gets stuck in a ditch, leaving them stranded in rural nowhere during a torrential downpour. The two Americans are now in a foreign land with no cell service, zero comprehension of the Italian language, and, as fear takes over, escalating turmoil that could explode at any moment.

Morgan Spector (“The Gilded Age”), Nunzia Schiano (“Gomorrah”), Eleonora Romandini (“The White Lotus”), Paolo Romano, and Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body) co-star.

‘The Farmer & The Shark’ – Unique ‘JAWS’ Documentary Premiering This Summer

Celebrating 50 years of the blockbuster classic JAWS, a documentary titled The Farmer & The Shark is on the way from director John Campopiano (Pennywise: The Story of IT, Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story), first announced by Deadline today.

This particular JAWS-related documentary is taking a very interesting approach, putting the spotlight on a late Martha’s Vineyard resident by the name of Craig Kingsbury.

Campopiano tells us, “The “farmer” piece of our film is the late Craig Kingsbury, who lived a truly remarkable life. We’re telling his story within the context of the making of JAWS on Martha’s Vineyard in 1974. Craig was Robert Shaw’s inspiration for his iconic portrayal of Quint. Craig was originally hired by the production to train Shaw but because his impact was so greatly felt, Spielberg gave him the on-camera role as doomed fisherman, Ben Gardner.”

The documentary focuses on the unique influence Kingsbury had on the film, from both behind and in front of the camera. Along the way we also learn of the many Island locals whose ocean savvy and ingenuity were instrumental in transforming JAWS from a potential failure to the paradigm of the summer blockbuster.

Through conversations with Craig Kingsbury’s family members and never-before-seen interviews with the many local and Hollywood tradesmen and artisans who worked on the film, including Production Designer Joe Alves, Cameraman Michael Chapman, Tom Joyner, Kevin Pike, Jonathan Filley, Jeffrey Kramer, The Farmer & the Shark weaves a fascinating tale of how Mr. Kingsbury was reluctantly recruited by the production to help transform Mr. Shaw – through his own language and mannerisms – from a distinguished Shakespearean actor into the gruff Downeast fisherman who serves as the unforgettable heart of the film.

Leroy Street Films will premiere The Farmer & the Shark at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum on Tuesday, August 19 at 4pm.

The Farmer & the Shark is produced by Leroy Street Films in association with Atomic Clock, Witter Entertainment, and Stage 3 Productions, and also features a trove of rare and never-before-seen archive from the production. In addition, it showcases the expansive family archives of the Kingsbury family as well as historical collections from the Martha’s Vineyard Museum.

The Farmer & the Shark is directed by John Campopiano, written by Rick DiGregorio and John Campopiano, and co-written by Matthew Spry.

Gabriel Long is Director of Photography. The doc was produced by Eastwood Allen, Jim Beller, Kelly Ryan, and Matt Taylor and Executive Produced by James Cilano. The documentary features original music by Matt Cannon, original illustrations by Jacob Walsh, animations by Mike Nixon, motion graphics by Eastwood Allen, and was edited in the UK by Jay Espindola.

Check out the official poster below and expect more soon.

‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Rights Update – Taylor Sheridan, Jordan Peele & Oz Perkins Pitching Takes

Studios and filmmakers are knocking at the door of franchise rights reps Verve to get on board with the future of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, which has gone quiet in the wake of Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre back in 2022. Names including J.T. Mollner and even Glen Powell have already come up, and Deadline’s got a fresh update this week.

According to the outlet’s exclusive report this afternoon, Jordan Peele, Osgood Perkins, and Taylor Sheridan are among the names vying to rev up their chainsaws.

Deadline reports, “Talks for who’ll wind up with the Texas Chainsaw IP are beginning Monday as anywhere from five to eight studios and/or streamers are vying for the rights.”

“Myriad notable creative entities have teamed up with studios to pitch Verve and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre rights holders on their vision,” Deadline’s report continues.

Taylor Sheridan (“Yellowstone”) is reportedly looking to come on board to produce a new installment, while Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions have their own take.

Osgood Perkins (The Monkey), meanwhile, would produce and co-write a new Chainsaw movie in a different package, with Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) directing that particular project. According to Deadline, the Perkins/Bertino collab would be a NEON package.

As for the package J.T. Mollner (Strange Darling) is attached to, that’s a TV project for A24 that producers Roy Lee and Glen Powell are part of. Lee is also attached to a potential separate feature film project with Netflix, Deadline also notes in today’s deep dive report.

Head over to Deadline to learn more. And keep in mind that these are all projects being pitched to the rights holders through Verve, none of which could ultimately end up taking shape.

Verve has represented the franchise’s rights since 2017.
