A couple unwittingly allows dark and sinister forces into their home when their son begins behaving strangely in Starve Acre, released into theaters and on VOD beginning today.
Starring Matt Smith (His House) and Morfydd Clark (Saint Maud), Starve Acre is written and directed by Daniel Kokotajlo based on the book by Andrew Michael Hurly.
“1970s, rural England. Richard and Juliette’s seemingly idyllic family life is thrown into turmoil when their son starts acting out of character. At Starve Acre, their remote family home, archaeologist Richard buries himself in exploring a folkloric myth that the ancient oak tree on their land is imbued with phenomenal powers.
“While Juliette turns to the local community to find some kind of peace, Richard obsessively digs deeper. An unexpected discovery soon occupies the couple’s attention and dark and sinister forces, unwittingly allowed into the home, offer a disturbing possibility of reconnection between them.”
A handful of shark attack horror movies have already been released in the first half of the year, and RLJE Films adds The Last Breath to the mix today. It’s available on VOD outlets.
This one comes courtesy of director Joachim Hedén, who directed the intense underwater thriller Breaking Surface back in 2020. This time, he’s swimming with the sharks…
Here’s the full synopsis: “Finding the long-lost wreck of the warship USS Charlotte has been the lifelong pursuit of Levi (Julian Sands), an aging expat running a tourist dive business in the British Virgin Islands together with recent college dropout Noah (Jack Parr). When the USS Charlotte emerges for the first time in eighty years after a tropical storm, Noah’s friends visiting the island insist for them all to do a once-in-a-lifetime dive on the newly discovered wreck before it’s handed over to the authorities. The dream dive rapidly turns into a nightmare as they become trapped in the darkness of the Charlotte’s interior, thirty meters down and with a dwindling air supply. And then they discover that they are not alone.”
Nick Saltrese (Prayer Before Dawn) wrote the script for The Last Breath.
If you’d rather check out a new werewolf horror movie this weekend than a new shark attack horror movie, Well Go USA’s The Beast Within is now playing in select theaters.
Kit Harington (“Game of Thrones”) stars.
In the werewolf movie, “After a series of strange events leads her to question her family’s isolated life on a fortified compound deep in the English wilds, 10-year-old Willow follows her parents on one of their secret late-night treks to the heart of the ancient forest.
“But upon witnessing her father undergo a terrible transformation, she too becomes ensnared by the dark ancestral secret they’ve tried so desperately to conceal.”
Ashleigh Cummings, James Cosmo, Caoilinn Springall, Miriam Arabella Maslin, and Adam Basil also star in The Beast Within, the narrative debut of filmmaker Alexander J. Farrell.
NEON has been having a killer year here in 2024 and they’re back in the wake of Longlegs with Mothers’ Instinct, which first arrives in select theaters beginning today, July 26.
Mothers’ Instinct later comes home to Digital on August 13. The psychological thriller stars Academy Award winners Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway.
Mothers’ Instinct is based on the novel Derrière la Haine by Barbara Abel, and it’s also a remake of director Olivier Masset-Depasse’s same-titled French-language film from 2018.
From director Benoît Delhomme, the new film is set in the early ’60s…
“Best friends and neighbors Alice (Chastain) and Celine (Hathaway) live an idyllic traditional lifestyle with manicured lawns, successful husbands, and sons of the same age. But life’s perfect harmony is suddenly shattered after a tragic accident.
“Guilt, suspicion, and paranoia combine to unravel their sisterly bond, and a psychological battle of wills begins as the maternal instinct reveals its darker side.”
Writer Sarah Conradt (50 States of Fright) penned the adaptation.
From director Phil Volken, Vertical’s Dead Sea was released on VOD outlets today.
“Stranded in the open sea after a fatal accident, a young woman and her two friends are rescued by a fishing vessel’s captain, unaware that the ship harbors a chilling secret.”
Isabel Gravitt, Genneya Walton, and Alexander Wraith star.
The cast also includes Dean Cameron, star of the 1980s comedy classic Summer School!
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining gets explored from a fresh angle in Shine On – The Forgotten Shining Location, which will premiere for free on the Stanley Kubrick YouTube channel today (Friday, July 26) at 2pm EST. The documentary, certified by the Stanley Kubrick Film Archive and family estate, is said to “capture the location scouting and making of the art direction for the Overlook Hotel at Elstree Studios.”
Indiewire had informed us, “Michael Sheen narrates Shine On, which includes interviews with The Shining executive producer Jan Harlan, art director Les Tomkins, and Kubrick’s daughter Katharina Kubrick, who worked as a location researcher on the film.” They will share memories of the production while also revisiting the iconic studio locations.
“There have been so many rumors about some of the sets from The Shining still existing at Elstree Studios, but to actually find them and walk around them was like discovering a holy grail of film history,” director/producer Paul King said in a statement.
Katharina Kubrick added, “The production of The Shining has been well documented and analyzed, but this is a story which has never been told. Pivotal scenes from the film took place in these areas, so going back to them felt like stepping into the movie itself.”
