Crawl (July 1) Credit – Paramount Pictures

Crawl is a natural horror film directed by Alexandre Aja from a screenplay co-written by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen. The 2019 film is set in Florida as a Category 5 hurricane hits the state, and it follows a father and daughter as they get trapped in a crawl space where they are hunted by alligators. Crawl stars Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper.

As Horizon: An American Saga remains in the proverbial barn waiting to come out following Chapter 1's release, one of the film's stars rounds up some good news regarding its future. Star Danny Huston offers an encouraging progress report on one of the upcoming sequels in Kevin Costner's four-part affair.

Speaking with Screen Rant, Huston revealed that "a lot" of Chapter 3 has been filmed, despite production on the third installment in the Horizon series stalling temporarily due to financial issues. According to the Golden Globe-nominated actor, Chapter 3 is coming together well as he praised Costner for his creative vision for the extensive feature-length project.

"I think he's got a lot of Chapter 3 in the can, actually. But there's no stopping him. He's just unbelievable, and this dream of his is coming to life in a spectacular way. It's just extraordinary what he does," Huston said.

Huston's comments are the...

Kevin Costner may have bid the Dutton ranch goodbye after the final season of Yellowstone concluded last year, but the Taylor Sheridan veteran isn’t ready to say goodbye to Westerns anytime soon. Costner even left Yellowstone to work on Horizon: An American Saga, which he has hailed as the biggest passion project of his career. Chapter 1 of the sweeping Western epic debuted last year to middling reviews and poor box office returns, which led to its already-filmed sequel being completely pulled from the release schedule. Nearly a full year later, it’s still unclear as to when it’s going to be released. Speaking to ScreenRant to promote Consecration, Horizon star Danny Huston expressed a positive outlook on the future of the Horizon franchise, despite the recent turmoil:

"I am absolutely bated breath anticipating. I can't wait to see the second chapter. It's such a big document, an epic dream of a film.

A horror movie from 17 years ago, The Ruins, has found a new streaming home, and it will give fans another chance to see why this film was so scary. The Ruins is the feature directorial debut of Carter Smith, based on the novel and screenplay by Scott B. Smith. It follows two couples who visit a remote Mayan ruin in Mexico, only to learn to their horror that it is inhabited by a man-eating vine growth, which then targets them. With native villagers not allowing them to leave, these couples have to fight for their survival.

The acting talent included mostly fresh faces for 2008, with Jena Malone, Jonathan Tucker, Laura Ramsey, and The Rookie's Shawn Ashmore playing the two couples and Joe Anderson playing Mathias, a man looking for his missing brother. This horror film was a box office disappointment when it came out, not making back its budget,...

Supporters of Hollywood legend Kevin Costner should hurry and catch the actor/director's latest film soon, as it's about to make a major streaming departure. Costner's ill-fated passion project, Horizon: An American Saga, receives more bad news as Chapter 1 of the Western drama film series is set to leave Netflix this summer.

Per Collider, Netflix has confirmed that Chapter 1 of Horizon will leave its platform on Jul. 15, giving fans around four weeks to catch the film on the streaming service before it's gone. Chapter 1 premiered via Netflix last December, months after its streaming debut on Max.

Costner's Horizon Has Been Plagued With Issues From the Start

Decades after being initially commissioned and pitched to Disney after 2003's Open Range, Horizon was supposed to usher in another successful foray for Costner into the Western genre. Chapter 1 is the first in an intended four-film series chronicling the expansion of the American West during the Civil War,...

Stars: Jena Malone, Danny Huston, Janet Suzman, Ian Pirie, Eilidh Fisher, Steffan Cennydd, Thoren Ferguson, Alexandra Lewis | Written by Christopher Smith, Laurie Cook | Directed by Chris Smith

How would the modern world respond if a fallen angel walked among us? Would science attempt to rationalise it, while religion clung tighter to dogma or would both implode under the weight of something truly unexplainable? These are the philosophical and theological underpinnings that Chris Smith’s Consecration grapples with, sometimes subtly, sometimes overtly, in what is arguably his most thematically ambitious film since Black Death.

Jena Malone stars as Grace, a determined and emotionally guarded ophthalmologist who is pulled into the cloistered world of Mount Saviour convent in the Scottish Highlands after the suspicious death of her brother, a Catholic priest. Her refusal to accept the official ruling of suicide propels her into a quietly escalating mystery, one cloaked in whispers of miracles,...

Few romance genre movies come close to the 2005s Jane Austen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Almost everything about that movie is perfect, from Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen’s casting to its quotable dialogues, to the climactic pouring rain scene – it’s always a great watch and the movie is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Now the fan-favorite feature is available to stream on HBO Max.

Back in 2005, the BBC adaptation spoke to modern times and defined love for a generation. As one of the beloved romance films, Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s best adaptation of love and misunderstanding, bedazzled with romance, wit, and an emotional core. Directed by Joe Wright, the feature follows Elizabeth Bennet (Knightley), who meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Macfadyen) and feels he is the last man on earth she could ever marry. Thanks to her family’s pressure, when their lives become intertwined,...

Grace, an ophthalmologist’s assistant, exists in a world of measurable science and observable truths. Her life is upended by a call informing her that her brother, a priest, has died violently at a remote convent on Scotland’s Isle of Skye.

The official report is a murder-suicide. Grace’s immediate rejection of this fact is absolute; her brother was a man of deep faith, incapable of such an act. This disbelief propels her across a cultural and spiritual threshold.

She leaves the secular logic of her life behind to enter an isolated enclave of fervent Catholicism, a place where faith and horror are intertwined. Her quest for answers pits the modern, rational mind against an ancient, dogmatic institution.

The Ominous Convent and Its Keepers

The Mount Saviour Convent is a place of stark contrasts. Its oppressive stone walls are set against the wild, untamed beauty of the Scottish highlands,...

Purest hokum, of course, but what hokum! Real pride has gone into crafting this set of shocks, and it’s very well acted in beautiful locations

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a wimple. In this well-crafted horror movie, a young woman called Grace (Jena Malone) finds herself up against a bunch of nuns who may or may not be trying to do something extremely dodgy with an unknown relic, and as with last year’s Omen prequel, there’s a nice line in casting here from the Ladybird Book of Horror Nuns. There’s dotty young nun who pops up going “peekaboo” (Eilidh Fisher), an arrogant mother superior (Janet Suzman), a hardliner weapon-of-Christ sort (Jolade Obasola), and the rather rarer spooky nun with one eye hidden behind an ominous white bandage (Alexandra Lewis). Their acting is uniformly excellent, as is that from Danny Huston,...

Jason Schwartzman was supposed to lead the star-studded cast of Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko. He expressed interest in the script and agreed to play Donnie, but he eventually had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. It was at this point that Gyllenhaal got his hands on the script and was mesmerised by it. He once said that he pulled over to the side of the road to finish reading it.

Donnie Darko is one of those rare sci-fi psychological thrillers that leave the viewers with more questions than answers. However, the film received poor reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, following which Kelly found it hard to find U.S. distributors for the film. While its initial theatrical gross was a measly sum, the film went on to attain more money on reissues and a cult status.

Jake Gyllenhaal saved Donnie Darko after Jason Schwartzman had to drop out of it Jake Gyllenhaal,...

Kevin Costner's Western film series, Horizon: An American Saga, keeps being saddled with issues -- and the future beyond 2024's first installment looks bleak. With part two of the four-part blockbuster still yet to get a theatrical release, one of its stars has given a "frustrating" update on its status and what's happening with the rest of the Horizon slate.

Speaking with Screen Rant at the premiere of Tyler Perry's Straw, Horizon actor Glynn Turman revealed that "not a thing" has been shared with him about Horizon since Chapter 1 hit theaters last June. However, he's hopeful Chapter 2 will soon see the light of day. “They started filming Part 3. I don’t know if they’ve continued it," he added. "I think there was a temporary shutdown, and I don’t know if they went back, but Part 2, I can’t wait to see."

Though Chapter 1 wasn't a critical...

This article contains a brief mention of sexual assault.

One of the stars of Kevin Costner's four-part epic Horizon: An American Saga provided an exclusive update to ScreenRant's Liam Crowley about the status of the beleaguered epic Western series. Costner's long-gestating passion project has run into a bevy of issues ranging from lack of funding to multiple legal battles, and while it was originally planned to include four interconnected epic movies, its future remains uncertain at best. Costner's personal financial stake in the movie along with his decades-long commitment to the project has kept hope alive, but the obstacles to its completion have continued to pile up.

Primetime Emmy Award-winning actor Glynn Turman opened up about the Horizon franchise's future in an exclusive interview with ScreenRant's Liam Crowley on the red carpet of the premiere of Tyler Perry's upcoming thriller Straw. The former child actor more recently...

The Hunger Games series of films has gained newfound relevance this year, in part thanks to the upcoming film adaptation of the novel Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins, in addition to the release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes film in 2023. Lionsgate has been driving up hype for the next movie in the franchise, which will undoubtedly lead fans to revisit the original films. Thankfully, the first four Hunger Games titles will all be available under one streaming platform starting next month, giving viewers plenty of time to catch up on the series before the next entry is released in theaters.

Starting June 2025, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 will all be available to stream on Max. Each film is based on one of the books in the series by Suzanne Collins, and tells the story of Katniss Everdeen, a young woman who, after being...

Vertigo Releasing has announced that Christopher Smith’s religious horror Consecration will make its UK digital debut on 16 June, bringing a haunting tale of murder, memory and ecclesiastical corruption to audiences at home. The film stars Jena Malone as Grace, a trauma-stricken woman drawn into the labyrinthine secrets of a remote Scottish convent following the suspicious death of her brother, a Catholic priest.

Shot on location in Scotland and originally released in cinemas in early 2023, Consecration arrives digitally following a run that included a slot at the Glasgow Film Festival and a streaming debut on Shudder. Its UK digital release renews interest in a film that blends psychological tension with supernatural menace, rooted in themes of faith, guilt and the ever-thin boundary between devotion and delusion.

Malone, best known for her roles in The Neon Demon and The Hunger Games, takes on the role of Grace Fario, a doctor whose...

As the next chapter of Horizon: An American Saga awaits new pastures, Kevin Costner's passion project is now saddled with legal drama. Costner faces an arbitration claim from New Line Cinema amid allegations that his company breached a financial deal with the studio.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line filed a claim against Costner's loan-out firm, Horizon Series, claiming the award-winning actor/director's company compromised their co-financing agreement for the Horizon films. This legal issue was initiated after City National Bank began arbitration proceedings against Horizon Series and New Line, with the latter filing a crossclaim seeking repayment from Costner's firm as part of its defense. The deal between Horizon and the Warner Bros.-owned New Line required each party to pay a part of the financing. Though New Line believed everything was covered, including paying the portion Horizon didn't pay, City National Bank stated they were owed more money.

"And then what happened?" "It was a moment of true liberation from the ego mind." Don't you want to find out more? Will you be forever changed by this story? Dive in and find out. Heroic Dose is a hilarious new comedy short film created and directed by a filmmaker known as Dugan Gundelfinger (yep that's his real name). This his "opus", an autobiographical tale of the time he tripped on way too much acid. "A genre bending comedic retelling of the time I had a psychedelic-induced mystical journey exploring the ego mind, 'reality' and the cosmic joke of the human experience..." During a dinner gathering discussing trying drugs, Gundelfinger tells his story of the time he was given a "heroic dose" LSD and went hard on psychedelics. It's not exactly meant to be a philosophical film (though I do like his idea about the "ahh" sound). But it might...

Kevin Costner's Western film series, Horizon: An American Saga, keeps struggling to find some giddy-up following the mixed reception garnered by Chapter 1 last summer. The latest progress update from one of Chapter 1's stars suggests Chapter 2 is no closer to leaving its pasture than before.

Speaking with Screen Rant,Chapter 1 star Isabelle Fuhrman offered an uncertain Chapter 2 release update, claiming she has "no clue" what's happening with the follow-up or where Horizon goes from here. Though Fuhrman, who stars as Diamond Kittredge in Horizon, is sure Costner is "up to something" with the film, she is as in the dark about it as the fans are. “No, I wish. I'm in the same boat as you," she said. "I really hope that we get to see the second one. I have no clue what Kevin's planning, but he's probably planning something. And, yeah, no, I'm a really big fan of the second film.

Talk about a diverting way to spend an afternoon. While there may not have been a special edition popcorn bucket in sight or any livestock in attendance, this weekend’s much-anticipated 20th anniversary re-release of Joe Wright’s “Pride & Prejudice” made for a most pleasurable afternoon at the cinema.

And while this writer turned out for a Friday afternoon screening on the Upper West Side — all the better to watch the beloved Jane Austen adaptation alongside a like-minded crowd who simply couldn’t wait for a Saturday or Sunday screening — she was hardly alone in her endeavors.

While Ryan Coogler’s also crowd-pleasing “Sinners” topped the weekend’s box office for its opening and droves of chicken jockey-ing moviegoers are still turning out for “A Minecraft Movie,” Wright’s Keira Knightley- and Matthew Macfadyen-starring gem held its own. The film made an estimated $2.7 million over the weekend,...

Take a look at more ‘Old West’ gun-slinging footage, from Oscar winning director Kevin Costner’s epic “Horizon: An American Saga", rated 'R' for "violence, nudity and sexuality," chronicling a 15-year span of pre-and post-'Civil War' settlement of the American Old West, now streaming on Netflix:

“A lot of times we measure ourselves against other generations," said Costner about his new film.

"I think about what was at stake. How did people survive? There's a rawness and an unpredictability about it. I'm haunted by that."

Costner, in addition to directing, stars in "Horizon", alongside his son Hayes Costner, who plays his younger version.

In the 2005 film adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice,” the central love story between Elizabeth and Darcy is set in motion during a ball. It’s a rowdy, exuberant scene full of carefree dancing and whispered observations about the other attendees.

That’s also director Joe Wright’s favorite scene. Not too long ago, Wright rewatched his debut feature, which Focus Features is bringing back to theaters this weekend in recognition of the film’s 20th anniversary. “The first ball, the community dance, I’m very proud of that scene. It has a kind of energy and a vitality and a messiness and joy,” Wright tells Variety.

In the scene, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) first spots Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) — “the person with the quizzical brow” —and then overhears him insulting her appearance. It’s also where viewers are introduced to Elizabeth as a young woman with sharp wit, who has a...

Pride & Prejudice, the 2005 classic starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden, followed Elizabeth Bennet (Knightley) and Mr. Darcy (Macfayden) as they worked through their pride and prejudice towards each other while simultaneously developing a true love connection.

Leaving the audience with angst, humor-filled moments and period piece fashion that has now become mainstream in the Bridgerton era, director Joe Wright shares with The Hollywood Reporter how he interwove the story’s themes into the movie adaptation.

“We were trying to give an authenticity to the costumes, a sense of how lived-in they were,” he says.

Ahead of its 20th anniversary and theatrical re-release, Wright looks back on bringing the historical looks to life by working with Barbie costume designer Jacqueline Durran, what that famous Darcy hand-flex scene actually meant and how Elizabeth’s feelings and fashion were interconnected in Pride & Prejudice.

Elizabeth’s style and attitude seem less colorful...

Sean Bean will always be known for his role as Ned Stark in the first season of Game of Thrones, but before he ever suited up as a leader in the North, he teamed up with a Harry Potter star for a medieval horror thriller that’s climbing streaming charts.

Black Death premiered on Max at the start of the month, and the film has snuck into the #10 spot on the streamer’s rankings.

Five years after 300 and two years before Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder co-wrote and directed a 2011 dark fantasy adventure film that caused a bit of controversy. Now, Sucker Punch, which Snyder co-wrote with Steve Shibuya, is streaming on Paramount+.

When he finds out that the mother left everything to her daughters in her will, he takes Babydoll to a mental hospital where he tries to have her lobotomized.

Twenty years after its theatrical release, Joe Wright’s luminous Jane Austen adaptation “Pride & Prejudice” continues to delight fans — we’re talking hand flex freaks, “a million times yes” devotees, and anyone who loves a romantic reunion in a dawn-lit field — and is preparing for a very well-received theatrical re-release next month.

That’s good news for fans, but perhaps even better news for some of its many wonderful cast members, including three-time Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan, who made her film debut in the feature as the delightfully ditzy fourth Bennet daughter Catherine (better known as Kitty).

During a recent interview with Mulligan in support of her latest role in the charming “The Ballad of Wallis Island”, I mentioned that a recent article sharing the news of the upcoming re-release of the film for its 20th anniversary was met with huge interest from our readers.

“What?,” a delighted Mulligan responded.

Horizon: An American Saga saddles up interest with the long-awaited release of Chapter 2 following delays. However, questions remain about the future of the four-part Western film series after the latest installment's U.S. premiere.

Via Variety, Chapter 2 of Horizon officially premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival inside the Arlington Theater on Feb. 7. The movie debuted to a full house of guests, including legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, with star and director Kevin Costner explaining the inspiration for his series. “The people who traveled across the ocean to America were in search of a dream,” he said. “If you were mean enough and tough enough, you could make it yours. And that was a nightmare for the people who had been here for 15,000 years. And this land was contested. It was a bad ending for the Native Americans who existed here and had found some equilibrium.

Kevin Costner presented the U.S. premiere of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” at the Santa Barbara Film Festival Friday night, but Costner didn’t give any updates on what’s happening with the Western series. However, the second chapter concludes with a lengthy preview of “Chapter 3.”

Costner explained the inspiration for the series to a packed house, including several cast members and guests like Quentin Tarantino, at the historic Arlington Theatre.

Movies really do seem like magic sometimes. They bring fantasy worlds to life, there are people who look like Ana de Armas, and they occasionally accomplish feats of cinematography that seem to defy physics. But like everything else in movies, including Ana de Armas, it’s just the result of clever trickery.

5 Dawson’s Creek

In 2023, a scene from an episode of Dawson’s Creek of James van der Beek throwing a basketball in Joshua Jackson’s face went viral after a Twitter user realized the ball appears to bounce from Jackson’s face into the camera and away into the distance. How did they do it? How could they get the angle just right and not damage the camera? Was it CGI? Two shots cut together? According to Jackson, it was sheer luck. It was also a painted beach ball, so that’s how the camera held up. As Jackson further pointed out,...

With Stranger Things concluding in epic fashion this year, The Duffer Brothers (that’s Matt and Ross) are going to have to find a way to fill their time; after all, they’ve spent a decade on that show alone. With that, The Duffer Brothers have a couple of projects going on, one of which is The Boroughs, another project in development for Netflix. And while it might not be taking viewers to the Upside Down, it does share some qualities.

The Duffer Brothers turned up at the Next on Netflix event this week to not only promote Stranger Things but The Boroughs and Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, in which they will serve as executive producers. On these, Matt said, “Of the two projects, The Boroughs probably shares the most DNA with Stranger Things because it’s about a group of misfits who fight an otherworldly evil.

While speaking about their two forthcoming Netflix series, Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer, better known as The Duffer Brothers, talked about how the hit Netflix show they created, Stranger Things, influences their new projects. Per Deadline, The Duffer Brothers spoke about their two new Netflix shows, The Boroughs and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, at the streamer’s Next on Netflix presentation held at the end of January.

The Boroughs was first billed by Netflix as “Stranger Things at a retirement home,” but has since walked back that description. The Duffers, did hint that characters in The Boroughs will, in fact, be dealing with something “otherworldly evil” like the characters in Stranger Things.

Netflix is set to break new ground in supernatural drama with “The Boroughs,” a unique series from the creators of “Stranger Things” that shifts the genre’s focus to older protagonists. Announced during the streaming platform’s 2025 content presentation, the show promises to blend horror and humor in a retirement community setting.

The series follows a group of senior residents who must band together to fight an otherworldly threat targeting their most valuable resource: time. Creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, with oversight from Matt and Ross Duffer, have crafted a premise that moves beyond traditional supernatural storytelling.

“This time our misfits are a little on the older side. They ride golf carts, not bikes,” Matt Duffer said, highlighting the show’s distinctive approach. The series will be set in a retirement community located in the New Mexico desert, offering a fresh perspective on supernatural drama.

When word of The Boroughs, a new series produced by Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers, first got out more than two years ago, the supernatural/horror drama was referred to as “Stranger Things at a retirement home.”

Netflix pushed back at that description and the link between the two shows. At the streamer’s Next on Netflix 2025 slate presentation Wednesday, the Duffers made the connection themselves, revealing for the first time that, like their Stranger Things counterparts, the characters in The Burroughs also will be battling “otherworldly evil.”

The Duffers made the comments while speaking about two upcoming series from their Upside Down Pictures, The Boroughs and Something Very Bad is Going to Happen.

“Of the two projects, The Boroughs probably shares the most DNA with Stranger Things because it’s about a group of misfits who fight an otherworldly evil,” Matt Duffer said. “Only unlike Stranger Things, it...

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’re here to remind you that the greatest queer thriller is available on Max for your streaming enjoyment. What better way to celebrate the holiday of love than with a fightback at heteronormativity and the patriarchy? Toss in Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian, and you’ve got a hit through Rose Glass’s sophomore feature, Love Lies Bleeding. While the movie — at its core — is a gritty love story mixed with a crime drama, there’s also a fantastical element that many won’t see coming — although those who caught the director’s debut film, Saint Maud, totally know where the vibes came from. With an ensemble that includes Dave Franco, Jena Malone, and Ed Harris, you’ll want to add Love Lies Bleeding to your V-Day watchlist.

The United States of Leland was quietly released in 2003 to very little fanfare. Starring Ryan Gosling in one of his earliest roles as the titular lead, the indie drama delves into the psyche of Leland P. Fitzgerald, a teenager grappling with his own morality, or lack thereof, after inexplicably murdering a young boy. The film explores themes of loneliness, morality, and the fallout of sudden tragedy on those left behind, but despite its ambitious premise and star-studded cast—which includes Don Cheadle, Jena Malone, and Michelle Williams—the film was met with mixed reviews, criticized for being overly melancholic and failing to deliver on anything of substance. Roger Ebert called the film “morally muddled," and while this criticism of the film is certainly valid, decades later, Leland might also be seen as a quiet meditation on the danger of emotional detachment and the far-reaching consequences of violence. So, is The...

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 may be released in 2025. Isabelle Fuhrman, who stars in the epic Western franchise as Diamond Kittredge, recently offered her best guess as to when the second installment may hit theaters.

Speaking with Screen Rant to promote her new film Wish You Were Here, Fuhrman noted that while she hadn't been told anything concrete about a release date from New Line Cinema, she believed that Chapter 2 would likely be released sooner rather than later. "I believe it's coming pretty soon. I think they're kind of massaging what's going on with it, but I actually, as of now, haven't heard anything. Actors are usually the last to know in these sorts of things," she explained. "But I was really fortunate that we got to premiere it at Venice, and got to see it with an audience.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Furhman revealed that, she believes, the Horizon sequel is “coming pretty soon,” and offered some insight into audience reactions to the Western when it premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival back in September.

Following his exit from Yellowstone, Kevin Costner moved on to a different Western project, which premiered in 2024 but is now available on streaming. Costner starred as John Dutton III in the first four and a half seasons of Taylor Sheridan's popular TV show. However, in between parts 1 and 2 of Yellowstone season 5, news broke that the actor was leaving the series. Given that Costner's John was the face of the neo-Western drama, his exit came as a big surprise to many.

Taylor Sheridan's upcoming Yellowstone spinoffs and prequels include 1923 season 2, The Madison, 6666, 1944, and an untitled Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler sequel series.

In the months following the announcement of Costner's Yellowstone exit, more details regarding why he left emerged. However, many were also concerned with how Sheridan would write John out of the series. The Yellowstone season 5, part 2 premiere revealed John's fate, and the show was never the same.
