Last month, the directing duo of Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, who worked with the legendary Sam Raimi on episodes of the Raimi-produced anthology series 50 States of Fright and on the thriller Don’t Move, said that they would like to revive Darkman, the superhero action franchise that Raimi started with his 1990 film of the same name. I said at the time that if Schindler and Netto want to make a Darkman movie, they might have to duel Scare Me and Werewolves Within director Josh Ruben over the project, as Ruben is such a Darkman superfan that he even recorded a fan commentary for a Scream Factory 4K and Blu-ray release… and now, Ruben has taken to social media to share his pitch for a Darkman legacy sequel.

Scripted by Sam Raimi with Chuck Pfarrer, Ivan Raimi, Daniel Goldin, and Joshua Goldin, the original Darkman has the following synopsis: When the laboratory of Dr.

Fresh off their Netflix thriller Don’t Move, which was produced by Sam Raimi in the wake of Raimi working with the filmmakers on the Quibi series “50 States of Fright,” directors Brian Netto and Adam Schindler have a dream project in mind. They want to bring Darkman back to life, a character introduced by Sam Raimi in his franchise-starting movie back in 1990.

Liam Neeson played the title character in Raimi and Universal’s Darkman, which essentially mashed together the superhero movie and the classic Universal Monsters movie. Neeson’s Peyton Westlake was a brilliant scientist left for dead in a violent attack, ultimately becoming a dark superhero who returns to exact revenge on the people who burned him alive.

Darkman was followed by two sequels, Darkman II: The Return of Durant in 1995 and Darkman III: Die Darkman Die in 1996, but the franchise hasn’t been heard from in the past 30+ years.

The directing duo of Adam Schindler and Brian Netto have worked with the legendary Sam Raimi on episodes of the Raimi-produced anthology series 50 States of Fright and on the thriller Don’t Move, which recently received a successful release through the Netflix streaming service – and while talking to The Hollywood Reporter, they revealed that there are a couple of projects where they’d like to follow in Raimi’s footsteps. For one thing, they would like to revive Darkman, the superhero action franchise that Raimi started with his 1990 film of the same name. They also want to make a Spider-Man movie, but the Spider-Man they want to bring to the screen is Miles Morales.

Scripted by Sam Raimi with Chuck Pfarrer, Ivan Raimi, Daniel Goldin, and Joshua Goldin, Darkman has the following synopsis: When the laboratory of Dr. Peyton Westlake is blown up by gangsters, he is burned beyond recognition.

Many Netflix movies come and go without leaving much of a lasting impression; however, intense new thriller/horror Don't Move has proven itself a rare exception and a must-watch.

Executive produced by Evil Dead and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, Adam Schindler & Brian Netto direct the movie after previously working with the filmmaker on Quibi's 50 States of Fright.

The Hollywood Reporter recently spoke with the duo and asked if they have any dream projects. They'd start by revealing that Darkman - an original superhero created by Raimi in his 1990 cult classic - is somewhere near the top of their list. However, so is Miles Morales!

"If we’re talking Sam-related, it’s Darkman," Schindler started. "We talked about Darkman [with him]. We’ve got a love and an affinity for Darkman."

Netto added, "Darkman was my favorite film for a good portion of my life. It was the movie, so Darkman would be really interesting.

It’s exceedingly rare for a directing duo to come out of the Gopher State. But in the case of Don’t Move’s Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, they had the ultimate example to follow.

As 9-year-old classmates in Woodbury, Minnesota, Schindler and Netto started making backyard movies in their suburban neighborhood just like the Coen brothers had done decades earlier in their nearby Saint Louis Park suburb. As Schindler and Netto focused more and more on their pursuit, they eventually took a page out of the Coens’ co-directing playbook by crediting one person as sole director and the other as a producer. The tale they had heard was that Coens adopted the approach in order to create a more favorable impression among financiers. (After 20 years, the Coens finally shared directing credit as of 2004’s The Ladykillers.)

Schindler and Netto opted for a slight tweak by taking turns, with Netto...

In this edition: Netflix's "The Diplomat" season 2, the Sam Raimi-produced thriller "Don't Move," and the genre-bending "It's What's Inside.")

Oops, all Netflix! Nobody would dispute that the mega-streaming platform easily leads the pack in terms of total subscribers, brand awareness, and catchy slogans. (Don't tell me that Prime Video and Disney+ haven't been trying to chase the coattails of "Netflix and chill" ever since they first debuted.) Netflix has also thoroughly disrupted the film industry and its conventional reliance on theaters worldwide, taking smash-hit franchises like the "Knives Out" movies and snatching them right out from under Lionsgate's nose ... though it might have met its match with Greta Gerwig insisting on a theatrical release for "The Chronicles of Narnia.

“Don’t Move” is a new thriller, directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, starring Kelsey Asbille (“Yellowstone”), Finn Wittrock, Moray Treadwell and Daniel Francis, now streaming on Netflix:

“…’Iris’ grieves for her son ‘Mateo’, who died during a family hiking trip. She visits the site of his death and, inconsolable, considers jumping off a cliff. But a man appears, who introduces himself as ‘Richard’, and after talking to him for a few minutes, Iris changes her mind. She follows Richard back to their parked cars. And at the cars he attacks her with a stun device and abducts her…”

Run Sweetheart Run is a mystery horror...

Have you ever imagined what you would do if you found yourself in an impossible situation? Moments where no matter how hard you fight, it seems victory could never be yours. That’s the terrifying premise behind the independent thriller Don’t Move, now streaming on Netflix.

Released in 2022, the film tells the story of Iris, a woman dealing with unimaginable grief after recently losing her young son. One morning, feeling unable to continue, Iris drives to the place of her son’s accident, planning to end her own life. But her plan changes when she encounters Richard, a man who claims to understand her pain. What starts as compassion turns sinister as Richard drugs Iris, paralyzing her body while leaving her fully conscious. With only 20 minutes before the toxin takes full effect, Iris must find a way to outsmart her captor against all odds.

Directed by Brian Netto and Adam Schindler,...

Brian Netto and Adam Schindler’s “Don’t Move” is an insipid rendition of the serial killer thriller. It has the slimmest plot and relies on anticipation and dread. But where’s the tension? Instead, there’s contrived character development, customary confessions doled out to amp up the emotional factor and construct backstory for furnishing motivations. It’s not even remotely intriguing on any count, bordering on tedium and never really earning its runtime of ninety minutes. There’s too much dullness on display, a tired reiteration of all the cliches we come to expect in narratives such as this.

The screenplay throws in a God complex to the sadistic killer, which is hardly persuasive. You’re left wondering at the listlessness of the situation, despite several supposedly charged moments when it feels the kidnapped woman might score a chance at rescue. Situations like these in a thriller demand a certain tautness,...

Co-directors Brian Netto and Adam Schindler’s Don’t Move got me interested with the fact it was produced under Sam Raimi’s production banner with the man himself serving as one of the producers and of course, boasting a high-concept storytelling hook for a horror-thriller genre: What if you find your whole body completely paralyzed?

But the result of the paralysis has nothing to do with an accident, stroke, spinal cord injury or even nerve disorders. Instead, it happens due to the paralytic agent injection by a… psychotic serial killer. That killer in question is Richard (Finn Wittrock of TV’s American Horror Story) or at least that’s what he called himself after he met a grieving young woman, Iris (Kelsey Asbille of TV’s Teen Wolf and Yellowstone). Iris is going for a morning hike at the time somewhere in the remote wilderness and arrives on the mountain,...

Back in 2016, Sam Raimi lent his name as producer to high-concept horror-thriller Don’t Breathe – a home-invasion tale with a nasty twist. Nearly a decade later, he’s back as producer on high-concept horror-thriller Don’t Move – and while it’s not part of any kind of ‘Don’t Cinematic Universe’, it’s another short, sharp genre shocker with plenty of punch.

This time, the hook is that it’s a cat-and-mouse serial-killer thriller, with a mouse who can’t actually run away. That’s because Iris (an impressive Kelsey Asbille) – mourning the loss of her son, considering suicide at the start of the film – has been injected with a “special relaxant” by the stranger who convinced her not to jump. She has 20 minutes until it takes effect, he tells her, and over the course of that time her body will become increasingly unresponsive. While the effects aren’t permanent, it’ll...

It’s important for movies to ask serious questions. Brian Netto and Adam Schindler’s new Netflix thriller “Don’t Move” asks a very, very big one: What if a scene that would only be a couple minutes long in any other movie was the whole damn movie?

“Don’t Move” makes a decent attempt to address themes of mortality and depression but more than anything it’s a formal filmmaking exercise. In a nutshell, the film stars Kelsey Asbille (“Yellowstone”) as Iris, a mother mourning the accidental death of her son. At the start of the film she nearly takes her own life on a hiking trail. She’s interrupted by Richard, played by Finn Wittrock (“Origin”), who snaps her out of it and helps her remember that “Broken doesn’t have to mean hopeless.”

Then, right when Iris has finally rediscovered her will to live, Richard tases her, ties her up,...

Plot: It follows a seasoned killer as he injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent. She must run, fight and hide before her body shuts down.

Review: It’s hard to be a horror fan and not get a tinge of excitement when Sam Raimi’s name is attached to a new genre film. Even when he’s not directing, he produces interesting films that give an underexposed filmmaker a chance to succeed. And he’s found some incredible talent in directing duo Brian Netto and Adam Schindler. Because if there’s one thing that’s difficult: it’s telling an energetic story about a woman who can’t move. Yet somehow they pull it off with Don’t Move.

The story of Don’t Move is pretty simple, with Iris, a young woman who’s recently lost her son, ready to jump off a cliff and take her own life.

The hook for Netflix’s high-concept thriller Don’t Move, produced by Sam Raimi, dangles the potential for a breathless thrill ride. A suicidal woman finds herself at the mercy of a killer who’s injected her with a paralytic, lending a new twist to the conventional cat-and-mouse thriller scenario. The scant 90-minute runtime only furthers the expectation of an adrenaline-pumping genre film. But it quickly becomes clear that there’s nothing here beyond its high concept, not even suspense, resulting in another paper-thin genre exercise in grief.

Iris (Kelsey Asbille) wakes early in the morning next to her sleeping husband and slips out of bed without notice. She doesn’t say a word as she heads into the wilderness to visit the spot where her son Mateo tragically slipped off a cliff. She plans to follow suit until a stranger who calls himself Richard (Finn Wittrock) happens by and talks her off the proverbial ledge.

There is no question when it comes to horror and hardcore suspense thrillers that Sam Raimi knows the territory very well, so we are in good hands when we see his name attached, even if it is only as a producer this time and not as director. This is similar to the hand-off he did with 2016’s Don’t Breathe, which was directed by Fede Alvarez. Now, in the apparent second installment of Raimi’s “Don’t” franchise, we get Don’t Move, another thriller with a simplistic generic title that warns the audience they are in for a tense adventure. This one comes from the filmmaking team of Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, working off a script by T.J. Cimfe and David White that is not horror as much as the latest entry in the seemingly normal family man-turned-psychotic killer genre.

If you hike or bike in city, state, or federal parks regularly, you're likely familiar with a simple, potentially life-saving rule: Always, and we do mean always, leave information behind as to where you're hiking or biking and when you're expected back. That way, at least, your loved ones and/or whoever comes looking for you knows where to look and how long you've been missing. And if you didn't know that rule, you know it now. In Adam Schindler and Brian Netto's backwoods thriller, Don't Move, Iris, a grieving mother and wife, disregards that rule, awakening one morning, her brain fogged by the loss of her preteen son (seen via photo...

There's a new serial killer horror movie hitting Netflix this week, and it's got a hell of a hook. In "Don't Move," directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto and produced by horror icon Sam Raimi, a woman named Iris (played by "Yellowstone" cast member Kelsey Asbille) finds herself trying to evade a charming killer (played by Finn Wittrock). Sounds familiar and kind of rote, right? Well, here's the twist: the killer has injected Iris with a paralytic drug that will shut her body down in about 20 minutes. She'll still be conscious, but she'll be almost entirely unable to move.

"To read the script itself was like a nonstop page-turner," Sam Raimi told Netflix. "It's a moving experience, especially for a suspense film." "Don't Move" has a neat little set-up, and part of the fun of the flick is watching how the filmmakers handle Iris' plight. Sure enough, her body...

“Don’t Move” is a Netflix movie starring Finn Wittrock, Kelsey Asbille. With Moray Treadwell, and Daniel Francis. It is directed by Brian Netto and Adam Schindler.

“Don’t Move” is a film that relies heavily on a limited number of characters and minimal settings, channeling its entire strength into the script and direction. With a solid premise, the directors manage to create a functional movie, presenting a tense thriller with some interesting plot twists and moments of genuine suspense. But does it leave a lasting impression? That remains to be seen.

Plot Summary

The story begins with a woman standing on the edge of a cliff, contemplating suicide. A man appears and kindly persuades her not to go through with it. However, after they leave the scene together, the man kidnaps her and administers a drug that renders her immobile.

About the Film

The concept of immobility is not new to...

Here’s a suicidal hypothetical only a horror director would think of: What if the moment a deeply troubled young woman (Kelsey Asbille) was about to throw herself off a cliff, a serial killer (Finn Wittrock) showed up, talked her off the ledge and then abducted the woman for some far grislier purpose? Would this psycho’s plan still count as murder, or because this victim had already made up her mind to die, is there some less damning word for it?

Conspicuously subpar Netflix cheapie “Don’t Move” starts with that contrivance and then piles on another: Once the woman regains consciousness, her captor reveals that he’s injected her with a “special relaxant” that will start to kick in at any moment. From the moment it does, the sedative will take 20 minutes before Iris is completely paralyzed. What would you do in her situation?

The point, of course, is...

For the longest time, movies featured men avenging women who were victims of crimes committed by men. As the times changed and that trope waned in terms of popularity, women finally got to avenge themselves on the big screen. But there was a small, teeny-weeny issue: stories about women were still being written by men. So, even though we started getting female-led action thrillers, due to the inequality of opportunities in the entertainment business, the extent of the awesomeness of women was still limited by the imagination of men. There were exceptions in the form of The Bride Wore Black, Kill Bill, Gone Girl, Audition, The Long Kiss Goodnight, La Llorona, The Invisible Man, and Saani Kaayidham. But you’ve to admit that women telling stories about women dismantling the patriarchal system with some righteous violence, like Revenge, Violation, and Jennifer’s Body, were a cut above the rest. Don’t Move...

The only contemplation Brian Netto and Adam Schindler’s Netflix thriller inspired in me was about whether there’s a secret quota in the industry that demands done-do-death tropey ridiculousness like Don’t Move. And that’s coming from a pretty big fan of Finn Wittrock. Why else would the world need another movie about a grieving woman being hunted by a killer who’s the universe’s favorite and therefore slips through situations that won’t convince a toddler? In case you’re here and you haven’t given Don’t Move a watch yet, I think I’ve made my stance clear about whether or not you should keep it on your watchlist. But if like me, you’ve also experienced this sad excuse for a thriller, let me break down all these supposedly tight spaces that Wittrock’s psycho killer escapes from to get that somewhat meaningful ending of the film.

Don’t Move marks directors Brian Netto and Adam Schindler first foray into studio feature directing. They’ve both worked on short films and true low-budget indie films prior to this. The writing team of T.J. Cimfel and David White is similarly inexperienced. And that inexperience shows.

But that’s not a dig at anyone here. It’s simply inexperience. There’s enough proof here to feel confident they’ll improve with each new project. The creative team clearly has a feel for the thriller/horror genre, and there are some interesting ideas and themes at play. But a few cool shots and a couple tense scenes can only take a movie so far. With a thin script and even thinner characters, the themes laid out at the beginning never fully come together.

It’s a universal nightmare: You’re stuck in a scary situation and you can’t move. Your arms and legs are frozen in place, your body a temperate icicle, and all you can do is blink. That’s the horror story that Brian Netto and Adam Schindler’s Don’t Move taps into. In the trailer above, you see the protagonist, Iris, played by Kelsey Asbille, struggling to run, hide, fight, and simply survive in the wilderness — with a would-be killer on her trail.

“[Don’t Move] is a story of a woman who finds herself in a situation where she’s struggling, she’s at a low point,” co-director Netto tells Tudum. At its center is Iris, a mother grieving a tragic loss. “All of a sudden, she finds herself dosed with a paralytic, and her body is going to slowly but surely shut down. Now she’s in a fight for her life.

Kelsey Asbille has earned the reputation of being somewhat of a chameleon. From her early roles in One Tree Hill and Teen Wolf to her Native American portrayals in Wind River and Yellowstone, the young Chinese-American star has adapted to the opportunities Hollywood presents her. In recent months, Asbille has donned daring looks that suit her blunt bob and new roles. Now, she’s pivoted to the horror genre with 2024’s Don’t Move.

On October 22, Asbille stepped out with Don’t Move costar Finn Wittrock for an LA photo call promoting the horror-thriller. The Yellowstone star went minimalist regarding her accessories. She walked in simple black slingback heels, forgoing jewelry entirely. The 33-year-old didn’t need much in that department as her sequined black gown stole the show.

We’re in the final days of October, which means the spooky, the scary, and the downright terrifying are at their annual peak. There’s no point in resisting the frights on the creepiest weekend of the year, so the best way to honor the chilling moment is with a nod to the classics.

Whatever your particular taste, there’s a fresh spin on a spine-tingling tradition. Queue up a decades-later continuation of a seminal slasher, sample an anthology of old-school gothic storytelling, or shiver through the adaptations of a pair of disturbing classics. Who says an old story can’t serve new scares?

On October 25th, the Netflix streaming service will be releasing a horror film called Don’t Move, which was directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, produced by Sam Raimi, and stars Yellowstone cast member Kelsey Asbille. But before we even get to see that Don’t Move, The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that there’s already another horror thriller called Don’t Move to look forward to.

Sam Raimi has given fans many memories to cherish. Be it Spider-Man bidding farewell to Harry Osborn. Or the magical world James Franco’s Oz tumbled into. The director has truly enthralled the audience for generations. But what has made Raimi the icon that he was, is his mastery of the macabre.

Back in the late 20th century, Raimi came out with a plethora of horror movies that cemented his reputation in the industry. The Evil Dead trilogy was one such franchise which cemented his legacy. And after a long hiatus from making horror movies, it looks like he is back with a banger.

Netflix is ready with an entertainment-packed October this year. The upcoming month will see the return of one of Netflix’s best original films The Platform and also new brilliant movies like Don’t Move and Woman of the Hour. Just like every month, Netflix is ready to overload you with great content. So, we’re here to tell you about the 10 movies coming to Netflix in October 2024.

The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist (October 3)

The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist is an upcoming animated Halloween heist comedy special directed by Kevin Peaty. Based on the 2022 film titled The Bad Guys written by Etan Cohen and the children’s graphic novel by Aaron Blabley, the upcoming Netflix special follows the Bad Guys after they steal from a haunted mansion but when Wolf is haunted by the owner of the mansion they have to return the loot.

Netflix is continuing their love of all things dark by releasing the thriller Don’t Move next month. It has been over a year since we got our first look at the movie, so finally getting the trailer is definitely a treat.

Here is the official plot for Don’t Move, which comes to Netflix on October 25th: “A grieving woman hoping to find solace deep in an isolated forest encounters a stranger who injects her with a paralytic agent. As the agent gradually takes over her body, she must run, hide, and fight for her life before her entire nervous system shuts down.” That’s a pretty terrifying plot right there, especially if you are someone who has a genuine fear of paralysis or even suffers through it.

Don’t Move stars Kelsey Asbille, who has a very minor history with the genre (albeit of a different variety), having appeared in MTV’s Teen Wolf,...

"You have about 20 minutes before you're completely paralyzed." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for an unsettling new real-time horror film titled Don't Move, which is produced by maestro Sam Raimi.

A woman alone in the forests of Big Sur must escape a serial killer with just 20 minutes left before her body fully shuts down. She is injected with a paralyzing medicine and must stumble, crawl, and pull her way out of hell. This seems insanely scary! The two directors Brian Netto and Adam Schindler state: "Every sequence we're like, 'Ok, how do we make it tougher on her? How do you paint yourself into a corner? And then how do you get yourself out of that?'" Kelsey Asbille stars as Iris, in what should be a star-making role, along with Finn Wittrock,...

Like Rick Astley with love, when it comes to horror movies you know the rules and so do we. Scream. Run. Fight for your life. Pretty straightforward, right? But what if you couldn't scream, you couldn't run, and you couldn't fight for your life? What if instead, minute by minute, your entire body was slowly closing down as your would-be killer slowly closes in? That's the hook of Brian Netto and Adam Schindler's inbound Netflix chiller Don't Move, which takes the notion of being frozen with fear quite literally as it follows the nightmare experience of Kelsey Asbille's (Yellowstone) Iris, whose head clearing walk in the woods takes a sinister turn when a murderous stranger (Finn Wittrock) injects her with a paralytic agent. Check out the tense first trailer below:

A grieving woman (Asbille) hoping to find solace deep in an isolated forest encounters a stranger (Wittrock) who injects her with a paralytic agent. As the agent gradually takes over her body, she must run, hide and fight for her life before her entire nervous system shuts down.

Written by T.J. Cimfel and David White, the film was directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto. In addition to Sam’s Raimi Productions, Capstone Studios and Hammerstone Studios also served as producers.

Don’t Move was filmed in Bulgaria last summer, during which the production was granted a SAG-AFTRA waiver to...

Kelsey Asbille learns the hard way not to trust strangers in the woods in the trailer for Netflix’s thriller feature Don’t Move.

The streamer released the promo during its Geeked Week fan event in Atlanta on Thursday ahead of the movie debuting Oct. 25. Finn Wittrock, Moray Treadwell and Daniel Francis round out the cast for the film from directors Adam Schindler and Brian Netto that counts Sam Raimi as a producer.

Don’t Move centers on a woman who is grieving in an isolated forest when she meets a stranger. The man ends up injecting her with a paralytic agent, giving her limited time to seek help before her entire nervous system completely shuts down.

“At minute one, your fine motor skills will start to go,” a mysterious voice says in the trailer. “At minute 10, your legs will begin tingling. At minute 15, your legs will give out altogether. At minute 18, your breathing will become labored.

Back in September, the first image from the horror film Don’t Move was unveiled. That’s the image above, which doesn’t show us anything other than the fact that the movie stars Yellowstone cast member Kelsey Asbille. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more about Don’t Move soon, though, because Variety reports that the worldwide distribution rights to the film have been acquired by the Netflix streaming service. A release date has not yet been announced.

Don’t Move is being produced by genre legend Sam Raimi. Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, who directed episodes of the Raimi-produced anthology series 50 States of Fright, directed the film from a screenplay written by T.J. Cimfel and David White, who previously wrote the 2015 home invasion movie Intruders and the recent creepy kid movie There’s Something Wrong with the Children. This film follows a seasoned killer who injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent.
