The film, originally screened at the Tribeca Film Festival back in 2018 as part of the Midnight movies section, is a madcap dark comedy about suicide and ritual murder, two things that don’t immediately seem hilarious on paper but look absolutely delightful in this latest trailer.

Just how many loyal Daybreak fans exist is a mystery, as Netflix does not release its viewing numbers. Perhaps the show’s …

A general rule of thumb when it comes to yachting is you're probably not going to want to set sail with anyone you might, conceivably, want to murder with an old antique fishing tool. Director Rob Grant puts that theory to the test with his blood-soaked dark-comedy Harpoon, and we're happy to bring you an exclusive clip that teases the high seas tension. The film stars Munro Chambers (Turbo Kid), Emily Tyra (Code Black), and Christopher Gray (The Mist) as three best friends with an ocean's worth of secrets, betrayals, and sexual tension between them. …
Every weekday morning when I wake up, I check Slack to see what my editors need me to write up, and today there was a little treat waiting for me. I didn't attend the Sundance Film Festival this year, so the bizarre little indie movie Greener Grass wasn't really on my radar, but when Frosty dropped the trailer in Slack with a note reading "I promise you have never seen a film like it," he had my attention. Sure enough, this looks all kinds of weird, so count me in. Written and directed by Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn …
