David Benullo’s “Murder At Blackthorne Manor” (2025) belongs to the instantly disposable crop of lazy, tacky Lifetime movies that demand no laboured thought or particular, invested patience. It’s a quick fix that rewards no intelligence or care in bringing additional efforts. The film is as silly as extraneous. It’s a shame because the chamber drama with an ensemble of potential suspects against a murder backdrop could have been entertaining. That is surely not the case because Suzanne Egan’s screenplay is merely content piggybacking on sagging, old tropes and lacks bite. Tension doesn’t even exist before I can accuse the film of diffusing it by its end.

The film struggles to distinguish itself from a mere, bland appellation of scenes sans intrigue and depth. There’s no dimension of danger or a spike in the proceedings. It’s not to say the makers don’t attempt to throw in twists and revelations.

The new streaming platform Vaba TV, which launches in January, has acquired the murder mystery series “Fatal Game,” an eight-episode drama starring German actor Til Schweiger (“Inglourious Basterds”). The project, from Usatv Productions, also stars French-Brazilian actor Renan Pacheco (“Désordres”) and Chase Mattson.

“Fatal Game,” from writers Sara Sarkissian and Anush Petrosyan, centers on a group of ten friends who travel to a remote island for an engagement party. When someone is murdered amid the celebration, what was an innocent game suddenly has deadly consequences. With 72 hours until the next boat arrives and another victim every five hours, the group must identify the assassin before it is too late.

“With its high production value and compelling interactive narrative, this series is set to become a must-watch for fans of mystery, suspense, and thrillers,” Usatv Productions president Bagrat Sargsyan said in a statement.

The series is directed by Roberto Ahumada, who...

Many a horror franchise has been temporarily goosed by an injection of sci-fi — even the slasher at the center of the “Friday the 13th” series went into orbit in the 2001 “Jason X” — but that element doesn’t do a lot to distinguish “V/H/S/Beyond.” This seventh entry in the ersatz found-footage omnibus series should be another reliable draw for genre platform Shudder, where it begins streaming Oct. 4. And the ongoing overall enterprise continues to have value as a launching pad for up-and-coming talents. But despite its new thematic wrinkle, the five segments here feel familiar in ideas and unmemorable in execution. It’s a middling addition to a variably inspired anthology brand that will no doubt trundle on through more installments yet.
