Apple TV has revealed another new teaser trailer for the horror comedy series Widow's Bay, out to watch later this month. These are some fun teaser! A skeptical mayor of a New England town refuses to bow to the superstitions of residents who say the place is cursed. Created by Katie Dippold, it's partially directed and produced by horror filmmaker Hiro Murai. "Prepare to visit the local haunts of Widow's Bay." Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the ol' stories that seemed too crazy to be true, start happening again. Widow's Bay blends genuine horror with some clever comedy. Matthew Rhys stars as new mayor Tom Loftis, with Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll, and Dale Dickey. This has some talented horror directors involved - such as Ti West (The Sacrament, The Innkeepers, X, Pearl, MaXXXine), Andrew DeYoung (Friendship), Hiro Murai ("Barry", "Atlanta", "Mr & Mrs Smith", Guava Island). The initial teaser debuted last week. This next one tells the tale of "The Sea Hag" & how she haunts sailors. Just wait until the kicker hits at the end. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-zombie-thriller-colony-directed-by-yeon-sang-ho/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-zombie-thriller-colony-directed-by-yeon-sang-ho/#disqus_thread Thu, 09 Apr 2026 21:10:08 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=784786 "I'm taking humanity to the next level." Just announced today as a big 2026 Cannes Film Festival premiere in the Midnight section! Get a first look! Colony is the next new Korean zombie thriller coming up this year - directed by the same K-zombie mastermind behind the movies Seoul Station, Train to Busan, Peninsula, and many others recently. Yeon Sang-ho returns to his zombie roots for Colony, about a virus that infects people so they quarantine the entire facility (hence the "colony"). This actually looks like it's kind of Yeon Sang-ho's Resident Evil at first glance. The film follows survivors trapped inside a Korean high-rise during a zombie outbreak. Professor Se Jeong, attends a biotech conference-only to witness it spiral into catastrophe when a rapidly mutating virus is unleashed. As the outbreak spreads & the infected begin to transform, they seal off the building. Starring Gianna Jun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rock, Go Soo. It's this year's Cannes Midnight horror movie from Korea they're showcasing! Should be nasty and fun and weird – especially as these zombie creatures start "evolving" into something else gross. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/family-man-serial-killer-the-step-daddy-trailer-with-vincent-m-ward/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/family-man-serial-killer-the-step-daddy-trailer-with-vincent-m-ward/#disqus_thread Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:31:52 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=784785 "What's your problem, old man?" Never trust a creeper! Lionsgate released an official trailer for a movie called The Step Daddy, a junky fun horror thriller being released direct-to-VOD in April. After originally premiering back in 2020 this is finally getting sent out for release this year. When a seemingly charming stepfather suddenly stabs his wife & stepson, it lights the fuse to a horrifying string of frightening murders. On the surface, Tim is a thoughtful & mild-mannered family man, but deep within him lies an insatiable killer, forever on the hunt for his next victim. As his body count rises & his new family begins to suspect the evil he possesses, the race is on to stop this brutal sociopath before it's too late. This horror stars Vincent M. Ward (from "The Walking Dead") with Ptosha Storey, Lew Temple, Nick Gomez, Felissa Rose, Sadie Katz, and Rusty Coones. Another movie that looks like a fake SNL movie trailer that they actually somehow turned into a real movie. If anyone wants to watch it? All of this just looks ridiculous & hilarious. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/jon-bernthal-is-frank-castle-in-the-punisher-one-last-kill-first-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/jon-bernthal-is-frank-castle-in-the-punisher-one-last-kill-first-trailer/#disqus_thread Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:16:32 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=784752 "To find peace – he will lose it."

I've got a good feeling from all this footage. Fan fave champions—joined by the action superstar Johnny Cage himself—are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

For the 79th Cannes Film Festival taking place this May, they have revealed an intriguing selection of very diverse international films, featuring new works from well-established filmmakers (they love them), as well as some newcomers getting their chance to shine on the Croisette. Cannes is continuing in its usual spot in mid-May, running from May 12th to 23rd, kicking things off a French film on opening night about a romance in the 1920s (called The Electric Kiss). Just over a month to go until the fest begins on the Mediterranean coast. The selection last year included many major highlights of 2025 cinema - such as Eddington, The Mastermind, Resurrection, Sirat, Sentimental Value, Exit 8, and many others. This year I'm looking forward to diving into any real surprises. Along with fresh films from fave filmmakers like Lukas Dhont (of Girl, Close), Léa Mysius (Ava, The Five Devils), Na Hong-jin (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, The Wailing), Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman). The current total is 60 films to watch. As usual, last minute additions will appear – many more have been added recently.

Criterion Channel has unveiled an official trailer for a doc series tilted Conbody vs Everbody, a documentary from filmmaker Debra Granik (of Winter's Bone, Leave No Trace). This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival with two episodes – with the full series finally ready to watch now. Throughout the course of eight years, Coss Marte constructs ConBody, a gym modeled after the exercises he learned while incarcerated. This five-part doc series follows former inmate Coss Marte and his attempt to help others fresh out of prison. As he wages an uphill battle against the stigma of incarceration and realities of a relentlessly gentrifying city where second chances are hard to come by, the result is both an inspiring portrait of a man on a mission and a powerful examination of a system that continues to punish people even after serving their time. Glad that Criterion is giving this a chance to be seen as it seems to be much more than just a series about a workout.

Neon has revealed one final official US trailer for the Japanese film Exit 8 - arriving in select US theaters to watch starting this weekend. It's a mind-bending time loop freaky horror thriller from filmmaker Genki Kawamura that initially premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Midnight section. It's really good! A man gets lost in an underground passage for the subway. He follows the "guide" through the tunnel, but one after another, strange things happen to him. Is this space even real? Or just an illusion? Will the man ever be able to escape? This is based on a video game (play on Steam) and it replicates the experience accurately. The rules of this trapped dilemma are simple: do not overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don't, carry on. Then leave from Exit 8. But even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning. Will he ever reach his goal and escape the infinite corridor? The film stars Kazunari Ninomiya and Yamato Kochi. I've watched this a few times already (I love twists like this) - an exceptionally clever take on the trapped in a time loop concept that goes places you will not be expecting. Go see this when it's out! Bring your friends for a super fun time. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-trailer-for-animated-movie-a-story-about-fire-following-a-monkey/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-trailer-for-animated-movie-a-story-about-fire-following-a-monkey/#disqus_thread Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:15:19 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=784504 "What is that glowing red stuff?"

Ready for streaming at the end of this month on Sky TV in the UK - though still not sure when it'll show up in the US yet. Tahar Rahim (The Serpent, Un Prophète) and Scottish BAFTA award-winner Izuka Hoyle (Boiling Point, Big Boys) star in Prisoner. Not to be confused with the classic UK sci-fi series "The Prisoner" or the Australian series from the 80s also called "Prisoner" – this is an entirely new idea. Prisoner follows Amber, a young prison transport officer tasked with escorting Tibor, a trained killer & high-value inmate, to court to testify against his elite crime syndicate. When their convoy is brutally ambushed, she’s forced to put her life in his hands. As the sole survivors, handcuffed and on the run, they must race to reach their destination alive and on time. Along the way, their uneasy alliance is tested as the syndicate closes in. Trust becomes a weapon and their shackled survival a moral dilemma, forcing Amber to confront how far she'll go to protect what matters most. Intense! Many new thrillers from the UK recently. The cast includes Leonie Benesch, Finn Bennett, Laurie Davidson, Steven Elder, Jessica Barker-Wren, Daniel Betts and Eddie Marsan. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-remarkably-bright-creatures-with-sally-field-octopus/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-remarkably-bright-creatures-with-sally-field-octopus/#disqus_thread Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:34:51 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=784462 "There may be potential for mutual repair..." 🐙 Netflix has revealed the main official trailer for an uplifting new film titled Remarkably Bright Creatures, which is indeed adapted from the the book of the same name by Shelby Van Pelt. Ready for a streaming release in May coming up – but not in theaters. Through unlikely bonds formed during her work at night shifts at a local aquarium, Tova, an elderly widow, learns of a life-changing discovery that may bring her joy and wonder once again. "Readers of the book will know that the narrator is not actually human, but rather a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus who forms a special bond with the cleaning lady at the aquarium where he is housed." Alfred Molina is voicing Marcellus, the giant orange octopus at the center of this story. Olivia Newman's Remarkably Bright Creatures also stars Sally Field as Tova, Lewis Pullman, Colm Meaney, Joan Chen, Kathy Baker, Beth Grant, & Sofia Black D’Elia. The story also follows a relationship she strikes up with a young man – which is depicted in this trailer – in addition to her friendship with the octopus. Looks pretty good!

This is being re-released this year as a special 30th Anniversary 4K restoration - hitting theaters in June right around the 30 year mark exactly. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996 but also opened in the UK first in February that year, only arriving in the US in July. Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up & get out despite the allure of drugs and influence of friends. Funny, disturbing, tragic and deeply addictive, Trainspotting, directed by Danny Boyle & written by John Hodge, is based on the seminal best-selling novel from Irvine Welsh. Starring Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald – launching pretty much all of them to stardom after. They also made a legacy sequel to this one a few years back – T2 Trainspotting in 2017 (20 years later) – bringing everyone back but it just didn't have the same vibes.
