Streaming this weekend we've got an exclusive look at the Danny Trejo horror movie, Murder in the Woods. Centered on a group of college friends who plan a getaway to celebrate a birthday party at a desolate cabin in the woods. Against his grandmother's (Soledad St. Hilaire) demands, Jesse (José Julián), a loner-type decides to go on a trip with his friends. He is immediately smitten with Fernanda (Jeanette Samano), a sweet girl from Chicago whom he hasn't seen in years. She is in town visiting her loudmouth cousin, Chelsea (Chelsea Rendon), who is ready to celebrate her birthday and plans to let loose with her boyfriend Gabe (Jordan Diambrini). Tagging along at the last second are Jule (Kade Wise), the class clown pothead, and the very out-of-his-league Celeste (Catherine Toribio). Soon after arriving to the mysterious cabin in the woods, the group of teens discover the dark secret it holds,...

Movie theaters have reopened in the U.S. Be that as it may, many people still don't seem quite ready to return to theaters just yet. What that means for the future is up in the air. What it means for the present is that streaming is the way to go. Luckily, this week brings no shortage of options for those in search of a new movie to watch.

Lionsgate is bringing a would-be theatrical release to premium VOD this week, while Netflix has released a new drama starring Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson. We also have an under-the-radar acclaimed thriller, a horror flick with Danny Trejo and much more. Here are this week's streaming selections.

Premiering at drive-ins and theaters across the United States today is Murder in the Woods, a Latino-led horror movie that pays homage to slasher classics, while not leaning into character stereotypes. I recently had a chance to catch up with director Luis Iga Garza who talked about the journey to get this film on the big screen, the importance of Latino representation in the movie, and more:

"From Rezinate Entertainment and Yel Productions, the award-winning slasher film Murder In The Woods comes to drive-ins and theaters nationwide on August 14, 2020, with a Digital and Video on Demand release slated for September 18, 2020. Directed and produced by Mexican filmmaker Luis Iga Garza (The Call) and written and produced by Yelyna De León, the fun yet frightening thriller stars an exclusively multicultural cast in non-stereotypical roles, including José Julián, Jeanette Samano, Chelsea Rendon, Catherine Toribio (Jane the Virgin), Jordan Diambrini (The Outfield) and Kade Wise...

Murder In The Woods is coming to theaters and drive-ins nationwide next Friday, August 14th. It’s a slasher film centered on a group of college friends who plan a getaway to celebrate a Birthday party at a desolate cabin in the woods. Having won 9 awards and selling out all screenings during its festival run, Murder in the Woods is a horror film for a mainstream audience but the cast and crew are all latinx and they’re not portrayed in stereotypical roles. Here’s the trailer:

"Killer's in the house!" Rezinate Pics has unveiled a trailer for an indie horror film called Murder in the Woods, which is finally releasing this fall after first premiering a few years ago. This "cabin in the woods" horror is about a group of teens who arrive at a mysterious cabin and soon discover the dark secret it holds, which forces them to fight for their lives. Director Luis Iga explains his intentions: "This film showcases the talents of our young diverse cast and I'm proud to say that we have made the first 'All American Slasher' with a full diverse cast in non-stereotypical roles." This stars José Julián, Jeanette Samano, Chelsea Rendon, Catherine Toribio, Kade Wise, Jordan Diambrini, Soledad St. Hilaire, and Rolando Molina, plus Danny Trejo as Sheriff Lorenzo. In my opinion, it looks especially unoriginal and redundant. Here's the first official trailer (+ posters) for Luis Iga's Murder in the Woods,...

Gabriel (Corey Reynolds) receives a call from a woman asking for a 'Detectiv...errico' as there's an intruder in the house. Her gun is missing. Taylor (Robert Gossett) wants the names of all detectives handling stalker cases, leading to a Det Verico, (Jon Seda) she mixed his name up, and when attempting to call him dialled the wrong number and got through to Gabriel instead. Ross was shot and killed. Pope (Jk Simmons) sets up 'Operation Swift Justice' coordinating with other forces. As Ross (Jossie Thacker) was on the parole board, Medina (Rolando Molina) was a prisoner who could have hired someone to kill Danielle Ross as he did with his wife. Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) refuses to interview him as she doesn't know anything about him. Visiting Ross' s house they find security bars everywhere and she was being stalked, but there's no gun anywhere and in her bedroom they...

The man who brought us Twilight: New Moon and About a Boy has a new movie coming out which looks like it might tug harsly on the heart-strings. It’s called A Better Life and stars Demián Bichir, Nancy Lenehan, Isabella Rae Thomas, Rolando Molina, Joaquín Cosio and Tim Griffin.

From the director of About a Boy and the producers of A Single Man comes A Better Life – a touching, poignant, multi-generational story about a father’s love and the lengths a parent will go to give his child the opportunities he never had.

Carolos Galindo always dreamed of a better life for his family when he crossed the border into the U.S. After years of hard work and trying to set an example for his son, he finds himself drifting apart from Luis, who has become an impressionable American teen, unwilling to work for the things that he...

Mary Alice (Brenda Strong): "Felicia (Harriet Sansom Harris) knew many things: Paul killed her sister, had to find proof and needed help. She knew she was lucky to have a daughter who did what she was told." Beth (Emily Bergl) hasn't been able to find out anything about Paul (Mark Moses) and Felicia realizes she slept with him. Beth considers it a sacrifice for her aunt. Mary Alice: "Thanksgiving: defrosting turkey; visiting family; performing in pageants, shopping and stress." Just like the ghosts in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (2009), each of these is going to be "'visited" upon the residents of Wisteria Lane. Gaby (Eva Longoria) -- I've dropped the Parker from her name -- forces Carlos (Richard Antonio Chavira) to cook to celebrate his Mexican culture. She's Mexican too, isn't she? Grace's (Cecilia Balagot) parents would prefer to eat Mexican food on Thanksgiving. How does she know they would,...
