Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser star in a new Prime Video comedy centered on the World Cup. But is it raunchy fun or just raunchy nonsense?
April 2026
Produced by Diablo Cody, director Meredith Alloway’s Forbidden Fruits brought a new coven of witches to the big screen last month, and the film is now headed home.
Forbidden Fruits will be streaming only on Shudder beginning June 26.
Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), Victoria Pedretti (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), Gabrielle Union (Breaking In), and Emma Chamberlain star in Forbidden Fruits, released by IFC and Shudder.
Free Eden employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges the group’s ‘girl boss’ ways, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.
“Forbidden Fruits grabbed me by the neck the very first time I read it,” Diablo Cody said. “It’s one of the craziest, most creative, beautifully bonkers projects I’ve ever worked on.”
Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Forbidden Fruits may not necessarily forge new terrain in the teen satire space, but Alloway brings so much style and energy to her well-cast single-location stage play adaptation for the Gen Z crowd.”
The film is an adaptation of playwright Lily Houghton’s stage play Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin and Through Her We All Die. Alloway and Houghton co-adapted.

Fresh off its buzzy premiere at SXSW, supernatural horror film Monitor has been acquired by Searchlight Pictures.
In the movie, something begins to spread after a disturbing video surfaces online — moving from screen to screen and targeting anyone who watches. No escape. No warning. Once you’ve seen it… it’s already too late.
Writers-directors Matt Black & Ryan Polly make their feature debut on the project, based on their 2018 short film of the same name.
Brittany O’Grady, Viveik Karla, Ines Høysæter Asserson, Gunner Willis, Sara Alexander, and Camila Bejarano Wahlgren star.
“When we made the original Monitor short film eight years ago, we never imagined it would one day find a home at Searchlight Pictures,” said Black and Polly. “We’re beyond thrilled to be partnering with them to bring this monster to theaters, where it truly belongs on the big screen. Monitor was always meant to be experienced with a room full of people being terrified together.”
“Matt and Ryan have crafted a visceral, modern thriller that taps directly into our collective fear of what may lurk just out of view, at the edges of our screens — delivering a truly wild ride.” Searchlight Pictures president Matthew Greenfield added. “We can’t wait to bring it to audiences.”
Temple Hill Entertainment (Smile, Clown in a Cornfield), Nostromo Pictures (“The Night Manager,” Bird Box: Barcelona), and Protagonist Pictures (The Lobster, Monsters) produce.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of SXSW, “Black & Polly adhere to a conventional horror formula with Monitor, the type of supernatural slasher in the vein of A Nightmare on Elm Street meets The Ring that feels comforting in its familiarity.”
Searchlight is planning a 2027 theatrical release for Monitor. Stay tuned for details.

Evil finds a way into our world in the Insidious: Out of the Further trailer — which showcases the jump scares and atmosphere we’ve come to expect from the franchise, along with some liminal horror for good measure.
Featuring a terror that redefines what The Further is capable of, the sixth installment in the Insidious franchise haunts theaters August 21 via Sony and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.
The film follows Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in who discovers she can travel into The Further, the purgatorial realm of lost souls at the heart of the Insidious universe.
When something evil comes after her, Gemma discovers an ability that changes everything: she doesn’t just enter The Further, she can bring what lives there back to the real world. Once the demons realize her power, our world becomes their playground.
Franchise star Lin Shaye reprises her role as Elise Rainier alongside Amelia Eve (“The Haunting of Bly Manor”) and Brandon Perea (Nope). Island Austin, Sam Spruell (“Fargo”), and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (“Legends of Tomorrow”) round out the cast.
Jacob Chase (Come Play) writes and directs, sharing story credit with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring: Last Rites, Orphan). David Garbett (Evil Dead Rise) serves as director of photography.
Jason Blum, Oren Peli, James Wan, and Leigh Whannell produce, with Johnson-McGoldrick, Ryan Turek, Steven Schneider, and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones as executive producers.
Wan launched Insidious in 2011, followed by 2013’s Insidious: Chapter 2, 2015’s Insidious: Chapter 3, 2018’s Insidious: The Last Key, and 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door. In total, the series has earned over $740 million at the global box office.
