In the sun-bleached waters off the Florida Keys, a simple transaction of illicit goods spirals into a primal confrontation. Great White Waters wades into familiar territory, pitting a crew of drug smugglers against a swarm of preternaturally aggressive sharks.

The film drops audiences directly into the chaos, where the recovery of sunken cocaine becomes a desperate fight for survival. Caught in this maelstrom is Gia, a lone woman adrift on her boat, whose quiet day is violently interrupted by this collision of criminal ambition and animal instinct.

The director, Anthony C. Ferrante, brings a certain expectation from his past work with airborne sea predators, signaling that this is not a tale of subtle suspense but a full-throated exercise in B-movie spectacle. The premise is a stark and brutal equation: desperate people, valuable contraband, and a sea of hungry teeth.

The Human Element as Afterthought

The characters in this aquatic nightmare...

A covert late night mission to secure a bunch of drugs dropped in the ocean goes horribly awry when sharks attack the boat.

That’s the opening scene of Great White Waters but it’s also an encapsulation of the entire film, which essentially pits drug dealers against sharks over the course of a single day. Why so many sharks and why are they so aggressive? A throwaway line about a storm blowing them into the Florida Keys serves to hand wave away the former question, while the film never even bothers with the second.

But these sharks are hungry and/or pissed off because each time an idiotic human sets foot in the water, they come a-swimmin’. And get in the water these characters do, because they work for a psychotic kingpin named Reverend (Steve Hanks) whose outrageous orders must be followed or risk getting bumped off.

It’s the 4th of July and the Jurassic World franchise has stomped its way back into theaters, but that’s not the only new movie hoping to keep you company over the long weekend.

Here’s all the new horror that released from June 30 – July 4, 2025!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

The second movie from Talk to Me directing duo Danny and Michael Philippou, Bring Her Back is now available on Premium VOD for rent ($19.99) or purchase ($24.99) via A24.

Academy Award nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water) stars. In the film, “A brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.”

Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally-Anne Upton, Stephen Phillips, and Mischa Heywood also star in the film directed by Danny Philippou & Michael Philippou.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “It’s impressively...

Anthony C. Ferrante, who used to write for Fangoria magazine back in the day, has directed twenty feature films over the course of his directing career – and he sure seems to love making shark thrillers. Ferrante was the director behind the over-the-top shark action of Sharknado, and when that movie turned out to be a pop culture sensation he returned to direct all five of the increasingly over-the-top sequels. The franchise wrapped up in 2018… and five years later, Ferrante directed his seventh shark movie, an Asylum production called Blind Waters that was released through the Tubi streaming service. Now, Ferrante has made another shark movie: Great White Waters, which is set to be released by Tubi on July 4th. Yes, the same day many of us will be watching the greatest shark movie of all time, Jaws. You can watch the trailer for Great White Waters in the embed above.

Cocaine incites a shark feeding frenzy in Great White Waters, a new Tubi original from the director of Sharknado, and the trailer has arrived this morning.

Great White Waters premieres on the streaming platform on July 4, 2025.

The film’s official synopsis reads, “When millions in cartel cocaine go missing off Florida’s coast, the search turns savage as vicious sharks close in on anyone daring to claim the stash.”

Angela Cole, Johnny Ramey, Steve Hanks, Ashton Leigh, and Hector Becerra star. Director Anthony C. Ferrante co-wrote the screenplay with Geoff Mead.

This marks the second team-up between Tubi and Ferrante when it comes to sharks; Ferrante stranded a couple with sharks in the 2022 Tubi original Blind Waters. Ferrante is also behind the first five Sharknado films, so he’s well versed in campy shark horror.

Feeling wide awake while asleep, she can't move... and she's not alone. Anna Parker's sleep paralysis strikes with a supernatural slant in Echoes, the feature film writing and directing debut of Nils Timm. With Echoes now available on Blu-ray and DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment, we had a chance to talk with Timm, who discussed taking a unique approach to the haunted house sub-genre, portraying the different social masks people wear in real life, his personal brush with sleep paralysis during filming, and much more.

What attracted you to the subject of sleep paralysis?

Nils Timm: Before I wrote Echoes, I was researching a lot of stories about lucid dreaming. I was experimenting with that a little bit myself, read everything about it, and interviewed several people in circles of friends and colleagues about this. At least one out of every six or seven people would say, ‘Yes,...

In the indie horror game, narrative storytelling is everything. Even on the tightest budget, with the most inexperienced actors, a filmmaker can still pump out the next big genre “thing” as long as it’s a story worth telling. Granted, the other aspects can’t equate to kindergarten bullshit and film school inexperience, but when a story is That tasty, so indulgently succulent and juicy, it’s hard to keep from scarfing it down.

With that said, Echoes is not horror’s next smash hit. It lacks the creative ingenuity of It Follows, the charm of Turbo Kid, and the practical goriness of Stitches, but it’s interesting enough to keep viewers at attention for a brisk hour and a half. I know that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement, but compared to the heap of sloppy continuity-inept nightmares I’ve been forced to sit through recently, Nils Timm...

It is the directorial debut for Khalil Sullins. It stars Thomas Stroppel, Artie Ahr, Amber Marie Bollinger and Steve Hanks.

Latino-Review had an exclusive phone interview with the entire cast of the film when it premiered last month during the Woodstock Film Festival. We discussed several things about the technology, research and the entire chemistry of the cast and crew during the production.

Sales agent Archstone Distribution has taken the supernatural thriller Echoes to the American Film Market.

In the trailer, Anna (French) takes refuge in an isolated home. Here, she hopes to overcome her fears of sleep. But, her sleep-paralysis only worsens, in this barren landscape.

The cast includes Thomas Stroppel, Artie Ahr, Amber Marie Bollinger, Christine Haeberman, Steve Hanks and Arn Chorn-Pond.

After they meet Jordan, a smart and seductive new classmate, they make a breakthrough that changes everything. But the bleeding-edge technology opens...

Some days definitely suck more than others, but for Jamie Kennedy, in the new film Buddy Hutchins things have gotten really, really bad. Bad enough for chainsaws, gas cans, and shotguns! Read on for details.

Got news?...

Veteran actor Jamie Kennedy has a huge and diverse slew of acting credits on his resume; however, it's safe to say that even with his years of work in Hollywood, he's never experienced anything quite like Buddy Hutchins.

Kennedy (pictured) plays the title character in Buddy Hutchins, which is filming now and scheduled for a mid-2014 release. It's been described as a more horror-themed version of Michael Douglas' memorable 1993 film Falling Down, making it an extremely dark turn for Kennedy, who, according to all reports, is absolutely sizzling in the role.

Buddy Hutchins is a Traplight Media and Richard Switzer Entertainment Group film written and directed by Jared Cohn. Alongside Kennedy it stars Sally Kirkland, Sara Malakul Lane and Erin O'Brien. Also featured are David Gere, Steve Hanks and Nicole Alexandra Shipley.

The film's producers are Richard Switzer, who happens to be the youngest producer ever at just 18 years of age,...

Hold Your Breath, or for those in the Twitterverse #HoldYourBreath, is remarkable for being one of the first films to premiere in theatres from production company The Asylum. As a horror film, Hold Your Breath is not truly remarkable in itself. However, the film is still a fun watch, despite some moronic characters. Is having sex in a morgue really a good idea?

It’s 1956 and in the local asylum, the most evil and diabolical serial killer is about to be executed after a long and brutal killing spree.

Before he goes out, he takes the opportunity to steal one more kill before bowing out dramatically by reciting a lengthy quote from the bible.

This beauty of an opener is quite startling and promising and better yet, it displays some brutal and effective make up work, which is actually a step up from Asylum’s usual offerings.

Moving to the present, we are introduced to a group of 20-something kids heading out into the woods for a weekend of sex, drugs and rock n roll to escape the pressure’s of every day life.

Along the highway, while passing a nearby graveyard, Jerry (Katrina Bowdon) blurts out for everyone to hold their breath – because if there is an...
