Let’s have an honest conversation here: holiday pajamas aren’t for everyone. While I personally would be willing to wear a full gingerbread onesie in the name of yuletide merriment, not everyone would, and that’s okay.

But sometimes, especially right now when we’re only a month away from Hanukkah and Christmas, you find yourself in a situation where you need to throw on a pair of festive jammies.

Stars: Mickey Rourke, Robert Knepper, Jackson Rathbone, Fredrik Wagner, Polina Pushkareva, Anna Paliga, Lou Stassen, Josh Burdett, Alex Mills, Elliott Wooster, Ben McKeown | Written by Mauro Borrelli, Reggie Keyohara III, Scott Svatos | Directed by Mauro Borrelli

From the early 1970s to the mid-1980s DC Comics published Weird War Tales which, as the title infers, added supernatural threats to the danger of combat. WarHunt feels like director Mauro Borrelli and co-writers Reggie Keyohara III and Scott Svatos (The Ghostmaker) sat down with a stack of them for inspiration when they came up with this tale of World War II GIs behind Nazi lines fighting a coven of witches.

In the film’s opening scenes a military transport flying over the Black Forest is attacked and brought down by crows who prove that a group of them isn’t called a murder for nothing. Major Johnson sends Sgt. Brewer and his...

"I promise I'll get us all out of here!" Saban Films has debuted an official trailer for an action thriller horror feature titled WarHunt, from filmmaker Mauro Borrelli. This is arriving on VOD in January, taking that usual slot (earlier this year it was another WWII action thriller horror feature called Shadow in the Cloud). WarHunt has a similar vibe to Dog Soldiers or the more recent Overlord. A US military plane crash lands in the German forest during World War II. As the soldiers venture into the forest, they discover dead bodies with organs missing and mysterious signs. Soon they start to find some kind of demons out there. But what exactly is it?! The cast includes Mickey Rourke, Jackson Rathbone, Robert Knepper, Josh Burdett, Alex Mills, Fredrik Wagner, Matt Mella, Timo Willman, and Ben McKeown. Oh damn this actually looks pretty good! It leans into the supernatural a bit more than Overlord,...

Jackson Rathbone, Robert Knepper also star.

Under attack from a horrifying supernatural force, the soldiers race to uncover the truth before the Nazis,...

When you're going up against giant ants, you need a lot of firepower (unless you have gallons of bug spray on hand), and that's exactly what two motocross-loving survivors use when they face one massive insect in our exclusive clip from the new creature feature It Came from the Desert.

You can watch two survivors gear up against a giant ant in our exclusive clip from the new horror comedy below. It Came from the Desert will be on Digital and On Demand beginning 5/29 from The Orchard. To learn more about the movie, visit:

Directed by Marko Mäkilaakso from a screenplay co-written by Mäkilaakso, Hank Woon Jr., and Trent Haaga, It Came from the Desert stars Mark Arnold, Harry Lister Smith, Alex Mills, and Vanessa Grasse.

Synopsis: "A pulpy monster movie inspired by the cult classic 1980s video game "It Came from the Desert," featuring rival motocross heroes and heroines,...

"Ants are incredibly resilient - all we did is splice them with alien DNA and grow them to super-size." The Orchard has released a new official trailer for the very cheesy sci-fi horror film It Came From the Desert, adapted from a video game in the 1980s about giant ants. The game is obviously inspired by the sci-fi classic Them! (also about giant ants) and really this is almost just a remake of Them!, but it looks way way worse. The film "features rival motocross heroes and heroines, kegger parties in the desert, secret underground military bases, romantic insecurities...and of course giant ants." This stars Mark Arnold, Harry Lister Smith, Vanessa Grasse, Alex Mills, James Alper, Claudia Trujillo, Callum McGowan, and Aino Sirje. It doesn't look very good, but it does seem extra violent and action-packed, that's something at least. Here's the new official trailer (+ poster) for Marko Mäkilaakso...

Review by Mark Longden

They Remain opened theatrically New York (Village East Cinema) on Friday, March 2 and Los Angeles (Laemmle Music Hall) on Friday, March 9 with a national release to follow.

I like the recent blurring of the line between arthouse and genre thriller. I remember reading Justin Cronin’s “The Passage” and everyone got excited that a real serious literary author had written a vampire novel; then the incredibly talented Colson Whitehead wrote “Zone One”. These helped open People are now realizing that you can make a proper, serious movie, with big themes, and have the subject matter be pretty much whatever you like.

I was about to use “Black Mirror” as a further comparison, but then I realized the two things are actually a really good match. Laird Barron wrote short story “-30-”, which would have made a splendid episode of TV, and then producers Peter Askin and Will Battersby,...

"We're trapped by this giant ant!" File this one under "Wait, this film really exists?!" Roger! Pictures out of Finland has launched the first trailer for a movie called It Came From the Desert, adapted from a video game in the 1980s about giant ants. The game is obviously inspired by the sci-fi classic Them! (also about giant ants) and thus this is clearly an updated version of the giant ant sci-fi story. Sadly, it looks more like a SyFy movie than anything I'm excited to see, but maybe I should've expected that. This film stars Mark Arnold, Harry Lister Smith, Vanessa Grasse, Alex Mills, James Alper, Claudia Trujillo, Callum McGowan, and Aino Sirje. The coolest part in this is the first reveal of someone being impaled through the chest, but the ants themselves look terrible. Hopefully they're much better in the final version. Have fun. Here's the official trailer...
