Nearly two years have gone by since we heard that Dafne Keen of Logan and His Dark Materials and Sophie Nélisse of Yellowjackets and The Book Thief had signed on to star in Whistle, the latest horror film from The Hallow and The Nun director Corin Hardy. Filming took place in Ontario, Canada at the end of 2023 – and now, the movie is about ready to make its way out into the world. It was recently announced that Shudder and Independent Film Company had picked up the distribution rights, and while a specific release date has yet to be confirmed (we only know the movie is coming to theatres sometime in 2026), a teaser trailer has now dropped online. You can watch it in the embed above.

Horror fans may want to check out the upcoming genre film Whistle. Starring Dafne Keen in the lead role, the film won't be released until next year, but its first teaser trailer has just been released.

Comparable to something like Final Destination meets The Ring, Whistle is about a group of friends trying to escape death after they discover a cursed, ancient whistle. Its premise is a bit unusual, but the teaser reveals just how freaky the film could very well be, filled with some intense and horrific moments. The preview also touts how the film comes from the executive producers of The Monkey, Evil Dead Rise, and Longlegs. Check out the video below.

The official synopsis for Whistle reads, "A misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. They discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits...

British director Corin Hardy has shared the first chilling teaser for The Whistle, a supernatural horror set to arrive in cinemas early next year. Released by IFC Films, the teaser offers a brief but unsettling glimpse into a teenage curse rooted in ancient myth, with a cursed Aztec death whistle summoning a sequence of fatal encounters for the unlucky souls who blow it.

Starring Logan and Deadpool & Wolverine‘s Dafne Keen, alongside Sophie Nélisse, Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, Percy Hynes White, Michelle Fairley and Nick Frost, The Whistle follows a group of high school outcasts who stumble upon a strange relic during a seemingly harmless detour. Their curiosity proves fatal. Once activated, the artefact emits a sound so horrific that it acts as a summoning cry for their own deaths, which then stalk them one by one.

The script, penned by Owen Egerton, leans into familiar territory for horror audiences,...

Horror fans first learned about Whistle all the way back in 2023, but now we finally have some footage to connect to the upcoming horror thriller. IFC and Shudder have finally unveiled the first trailer for the feature, directed by Corin Hardy (The Nun) and starring Logan and Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Dafne Keen, and the result is beyond eerie. Whistle refers to an Aztec artifact, and the haunting trailer, which you can see below, teases: "If you hear the whistle's scream, dying is not a choice..."

Whistle is led by Keen, a former child actor who made her breakthrough role as Laura (X-23) in the critically acclaimed MCU film Logan. She reprised this fan-favorite role in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine. Her credits also include the acclaimed BBC/HBO series His Dark Materials, the comedy-drama Ana, and a place in the Star Wars universe as Jecki Lon in The Acolyte. Keen...

IFC Films has unveiled an early teaser trailer for a scary new horror film titled The Whistle, which is finally ready to hit theaters.

The high school horror movie centered around an Aztec Death Whistle, known for its shrieking sound, stars Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).

Whether it be the killer dolls at the heart of Annabelleand Child’s Play, Talk to Me’s embalmed hand, or the Lament Configuration box from Hellraiser, there’s nothing quite like a good bit of cursed object horror. Next year, audiences are in for a scream when filmmaker Corin Hardy returns to the genre with his latest project — Whistle.

Fast & Furious and Star Trek Beyond director Justin Lin will offer audiences something different after his upcoming docudrama, Last Days, comes to theaters on October 24, courtesy of Vertical.

Last Days, based on the Outside magazine article “The Last Days of John Allen Chau” by Alex Perry, focuses on the 26-year-old missionary John Allen Chau (Sky Yang), who journeys to the remote North Sentinel Island, determined to convert an isolated tribe. At the same time, authorities attempt to intervene before potential harm occurs. Sister Midnight’s Radhika Apte leads the chase, playing a detective from the Andaman Islands, determined to halt John’s mission before he can upset a natural balance.

Independent Film Company and Shudder recently acquired U.S. rights to Whistle, the new horror movie from The Nun director Corin Hardy, and it’s officially received an “R” rating.

Whistle has been rated “R” for “strong violent content, gore, drug content and some language.”

That likely shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering Hardy’s previous work on ultra-violent series “Gangs of London” and breakout feature The Hallow.

The high school horror movie centered around an Aztec Death Whistle, known for its shrieking sound, stars Dafne Keen (Logan, “The Acolyte“), Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”) and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).

In Whistle, “a misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. They discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down.

Courtney Eaton and Sophie Nélisse, two breakout performers from “Yellowjackets,” will co-star in an adaptation of Kathleen Glasgow’s novel, “Girl in Pieces.”

The Space Program, a New York-based independent film production company led by Lizzie Shapiro, Lexi Tannenholtz and Gus Deardoff, will produce the film alongside Eaton and Nélisse.

“Girl in Pieces” was embraced on BookTok, the TikTok literary subculture, and has been on the New York Times young adult bestseller list for more than three consecutive years. It follows Charlie Davis, a young woman recently released from a psychiatric ward in Minnesota after a suicide attempt. After a move across the country to Tucson, Ariz., Charlie tries to piece her life back together among a band of artists and musicians while dealing with the trauma of childhood abuse, self-harm and homelessness. A toxic relationship with a local musician and the reappearance of her friend from the psych ward...

But after wandering the earth for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge — working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange,...

Justin Lin, the filmmaker who steered the Fast & Furious franchise to new and revived heights, has come aboard to direct Brzrkr, the Keanu Reeves-created comic being adapted by Netflix.

Reeves is starring in the gritty feature project as well as producing. Also producing are Stephen Christy for Boom! Studios, Stephen Hamel of Company Films and Ross Richie. Lin will also produce via his Perfect Storm banner. Adam Yoelin is exec producing for Boom!

The move reunites Lin with Reeves, who became an angel investor in the filmmaker’s latest drama and return to indie roots, Last Days, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

Justin Linis a filmmaker now synonymous with the Fast & Furious franchise, having directed six installments, including the fan favorite, Tokyo Drift. What many might not know, though, is that his roots are in indie filmmaking, bringing his sophomore film, Better Luck Tomorrow, to Sundance in 2002. In his return to the festival, Lin casts aside high octane and big budgets for his take on real-life missionary John Allen Chau's final days. In Last Days, we follow John Chau (Sky Yang) from his beginnings as an aimless student to his extreme descent into missionary life that led him to North Sentinel Island.

In 2018, 26-year-old American evangelical missionary John Allen Chau went on the most dangerous mission of his life. He secretly journeyed to North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal in an attempt to convert its small population to Christianity, despite their strident insistence on staying disconnected from the rest of the world. As he tried to make contact with the people of the island, he was killed by arrows. His body was never recovered.

Now, Justin Lin’s Last Days seeks out to provide a coherent characterization of the young evangelical. Chau (Sky Yang) is presented in this misaligned attempt at character-based drama as an over-eager obsessive who never knew how to exercise caution or stop proclaiming his passion for Jesus to the world. A passionate evangelical from a comfortable California suburb, he doesn’t appear to have ever had or wanted any other profession than carrying the gospel to...

Plot: The true story of John Allen Chau (Sky Yang), a devout American Christian missionary who was killed while trying to contact an isolated tribe on North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean.

Review: Justin Lin is best known nowadays for his work on the Fast & Furious franchise. He is the man responsible for elevating what started out as a modestly budgeted, B-level series into the block-busting global behemoth it’s become. Yet, Lin began his career with a Sundance hit called Better Luck Tomorrow, which had an infamous Q&a (an audience member said it was irresponsible to make a movie with an Asian cast that didn’t have positive characters – prompting Roger Ebert to loudly proclaim them as condescending), and is a gem worth checking out if you haven’t seen it.

Lin returns to the indie genre with all the tricks and style he learned directing...

Justin Lin is no stranger to making movies built around spectacle. After all, he directed more Fast & Furious movies than any director working today before stepping away from the franchise (twice). He returns to something much smaller scale after his “Fast X” exit with “Last Days,” a narrative feature based on the true story of American missionary John Allen Chau, who visited and was killed by the isolated Indigenous Sentinelese people on their island off the coast of India after he tried to convert them. While this project seems like it could provide a fresh start for Lin and a return to his roots — he launched his career at Sundance with the indie drama “Better Luck Tomorrow” — it ultimately falls flat.

Unfortunately, instead of using the opportunity to offer up a nuanced, more incisive portrait of the man beyond the headlines, “Last Days” is a film that is so contrived,...

Spoiler Alert: The following review contains spoilers.

You’ve seen it so often, you might roll your eyes, but in “Last Days,” it really happens: American missionary John Allen Chau could have died as he approached North Sentinel Island, had the Bible in his breast pocket not absorbed the blow of a hostile Sentinelese arrow. What was Chau doing halfway around the globe, trying to convert a tribe that had nearly zero contact with the outside world? That’s the mystery director Justin Lin attempts to solve with “Last Days,” prompting an unexpected return to Sundance more than two decades after “Better Luck Tomorrow” launched his career there.

In the interim, Lin has directed no fewer than five “Fast & Furious” movies, which makes this independent production a conspicuous downshift from exorbitantly budgeted studio fare. Chau’s story has been told multiple times, from the Outside magazine article that served...

Justin Lin is best known as the filmmaker behind the revitalization of the Fast & Furious franchise, starting with Tokyo Drift and including the fan-favorite Fast Five. However, after departing the franchise, he decided to return to his independent roots with Last Days, a film based on a powerful story. Unfortunately for Lin, this is not a particularly auspicious return to less spectacle-driven fare.

Last Days Review

Last Days is a dramatization of the final days in the life of John Allen Chau, a 26-year-old Christian mercenary who traveled to North Sentinel Island in the hopes of reaching the North Sentinelese — one of the most isolated native tribes in the world. It’s a fascinating story that has tons of articles and books about it, but Last Days seeks to give Chau’s tale the big-screen treatment.

Ultimately,...

Director Justin Lin was last at the Sundance Film Festival in 2002 with his breakout indie teen crime drama Better Luck Tomorrow. Twenty-three years later, he is back with yet another indie project, Last Days, and clearly hoping to rekindle the fire that got him attention in the first place. Since 2006’s Tokyo Drift, Lin has been the go-to guy for the Fast & Furious franchise with five of them, most recently Fast 9 in 2019, as well as the most recent big-screen film in another hugely popular franchise, 2016’s Star Trek: Beyond.

Now this veteran director, after a few stops and starts and financing woes, has managed to do a film on his own terms again. And the appeal of making it is obvious, not only because it focuses on a young Asian–American young man and his Chinese immigrant father, but because it definitely affords him the opportunity to tell a...

Justin Lin's latest movie, Last Days, makes its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival today in Park City, Utah, but if it hadn't been for Keanu Reeves, the Fast & Furious director might not be screening his film at all. Lin tackles the subject of John Allen Chau in the biographical drama, chronicling the events that led up to the young missionary attempting to make contact with a remote tribe living on an island in the Indian Ocean.

Speaking with The Wrap during the Sundance festivities, Lin shared with the outlet that there was a moment he wasn't sure Last Days was ever going to get made after financing for the project fell apart. That's often the case with independent productions, but in this situation, it was Keanu Reeves who came to the rescue not because he was looking for any sort of producing credit, but simply because he wanted to help.

When director Justin Lin’s new indie feature “Last Days,” about 25-year-old missionary John Chau who was killed when he made contact with an isolated tribe, ran into financial woes, the filmmaker (also known for blockbusters in franchises like “Fast and Furious” and “Star Trek”) fortuitously got a call from Keanu Reeves.

Sitting with TheWrap’s Sundance Studio presented by World of Hyatt during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Lin shared that the film ran into trouble while getting off the ground. Reeves helped turn things around.

“It was this one moment where everything fell apart,” Lin said. “I think with all independent experiences you just don’t know. It’s a roller coaster. At that point, I thought it was all going to be done. We have angels along the way that come and really help us. In this case, I got a call from Keanu Reeves who heard that...

The Sundance Film Festival has been a launchpad for many directors, including Justin Lin, whose debut film Better Luck Tomorrow premiered there in 2002. The movie, about ambitious Asian American teens dabbling in crime, earned critical praise, including a glowing review from Roger Ebert, who called Lin ‘a rising star’ and compared the film’s polish to that of big-budget productions.

After Better Luck Tomorrow, Lin’s career skyrocketed. He directed Tokyo Drift, the third film in the Fast & Furious series, and turned the franchise into a global phenomenon with five entries under his belt.

Alongside those, he directed Star Trek Beyond and worked on TV hits like Community and True Detective. Lin credits his Sundance debut with opening the door to a wide range of opportunities, saying, ‘I just wanted to try everything.’

Now, after two decades of blockbuster projects, Lin is back at Sundance with Last Days, his first indie film in years.

Here are the films mentioned most often by buyers and sellers setting up shop at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. The action begins Thursday.

Zack Snyder reveals his favorite scene in the franchise happens early on with Kora. Kora's pivotal barn action scene is a turning point in her character arc. The scene forever changes Kora's future and leads her on a rebellious path.

Rebel Moon director Zack Snyder reveals his favorite scene to shoot from the franchise so far. Snyder wrote and directed Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire and its sequel, Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver, both of which have been made into extended, R-rated director's cuts. Collaborating with Netflix has allowed Snyder to begin his science-fiction franchise, which he plans to continue expanding with more stories, including direct sequels, and a prequel spinoff about Rebel Moon's overarching villain, Balisarius (Fra Fee).

In an interview with The Hollywood Handle, Snyder was asked about his favorite Rebel Moon scene to shoot. Snyder explained...

Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” movies are back, and this time they’re longer than ever. Not better, for the most part. Just longer. Unlike many director’s cuts — including Snyder’s own “Justice League” — the updated versions of “Rebel Moon” don’t change the narrative very much. There’s a little more backstory and a lot more fake-looking CGI blood, but “Rebel Moon — Chapter 1: Chalice of Blood” and “Rebel Moon — Chapter 2: Curse of Forgiveness” tell the same tale as before and make about as much of an impact.

The story of “Rebel Moon,” in case you missed it the first time, tells the tale of Veldt, a small farming village in outer space. When the evil Motherworld comes to take the town’s grain, a fugitive in their midst named Kora (Sofia Boutella) embarks on an epic quest to find warriors who will risk their lives to save her village,...

Plot: Delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon — Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness. In Snyder’s director’s cut, a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and Kora, a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Motherworld, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a new army of heroes is formed.

Review: Like Michael Bay before him,...

We’ve known all along that director Zack Snyder intended to release extended, R-rated director’s cuts of his movies Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire (read our review Here) and Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver (read our review of that one Here), which were rated PG-13 in their shorter form. Snyder said that there would be an hour of extra content in each of these director’s cuts – and now the Netflix listings for the director’s cuts, which sport the titles Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness have revealed just how much more Rebel Moon we’re going to be getting when these versions of the movies drop onto the streaming service on August 2nd. Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood has a running time of 3 hours and 24 minutes, a full 70 minutes longer than the A Child of Fire cut.

Neither of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon movies received an overly warm response from critics or, for that matter, sci-fi fans. Now, though, both Part One: A Child of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver are getting a second chance on Netflix with R-Rated director's cuts.

According to the Justice League helmer, these will allow fans to "experience Rebel Moon the way I've envisioned it," a peculiar statement when the first two versions being released on streaming (rather than in theaters) should have meant Snyder had the creative freedom to do as he saw fit.

"Delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon - Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon - Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness," reads an official description.

Netflix has shared the official Red Band trailer and key art for the two-part Rebel Moon – The Director’s Cut. Part One and Part Two will both debut on August 2, 2024.

Delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon — Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness.

In Snyder’s director’s cut, a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival.

Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Motherworld, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war who share a common need for redemption and revenge.

After the release of Zack Snyder‘s space saga Rebel Moon, the director teased his true vision would come in R-rated director’s cut epics. Netflix has just released the official Red Band trailer to part one of Snyder’s Director’s Cuts, which features a bevy of blood, steamy sex scenes and even robot boobs. The two parts are also renamed for these cuts with part one now titled Chalice of Blood and part two titled Curse of Forgiveness.

The official synopsis reads,

“Delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon — Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness.

Netflix invites you further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon with brand new Director’s Cuts Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness on August 2.

Of particular note, the Rebel Moon Director’s Cuts will be rated “R,” packed with the bloody violence that wasn’t found in the PG-13 versions of the two movies now on Netflix. We’ve been promised “brutal bloody violence and gore, sexual content, graphic nudity and language.”

We’ve known all along that director Zack Snyder intended to release extended, R-rated director’s cuts of his movies Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire (read our review Here) and Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver (read our review of that one Here), which were rated PG-13 in their shorter form. What we didn’t realize is that the director’s cuts would have different titles than the shorter versions – but Netflix has just confirmed that is the case, while also unveiling a batch of images from the director’s cuts and announcing that they will both be available to watch on their streaming service as of August 2nd. The new title for the director’s cut of the first movie is Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood. The second movie is Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness.

We’ve known from the start that director Zack Snyder intended to released extended director’s cuts of his movies Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire (read our review Here) and Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver (read our review of that one Here), which were rated PG-13 in their shorter form. At the start of this month, we learned that the director’s cut of Rebel Moon: Part One has been given a R rating for brutal bloody violence and gore, sexual content, graphic nudity and language. Now the Motion Picture Association ratings board has revealed that the director’s cut of Rebel Moon: Part Two has been rated R for strong bloody violence and gore throughout, strong sexuality, nudity and some language.

We don’t know a release date for the director’s cuts just yet, but Snyder has said that the director’s cuts...

Exclusive: Justin Lin has rounded out the cast for his next film Last Days with five additions: Toby Wallace (Babyteeth), Ciara Bravo (Cherry), Claire Price (The Capture), Dieudonné Ngabo (Forever) and Marny Kennedy (Between Two Worlds).

As previously announced, Sky Yang, Radhika Apte, Naveen Andrews and Ken Leung will also star.

Based on the Outside Magazine article “The Last Days of John Allen Chau” by journalist Alex Perry, the film tells the story of John Allen Chau, who believes he has been chosen to save the souls of the uncontacted tribe of North Sentinel Island. Designated as a protected site by the Indian government, John sets on a harrowing journey to proselytize the Sentinelese in his desperate search for identity, purpose, and belonging.

Written by Ben Ripley (Source Code), and marking a return to his indie roots for Lin following work on the Fast & Furious franchise, the film has...

We knew it was only a matter of time, and Screen Junkies has now released an "Honest Trailer" for the second and final(?) movie in Zack Snyder's Star Wars-inspired sci-fi saga, Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver, aka, "Harvest Moon 2: Pain and Grain."

The guys don't have to work very hard to find things to make fun of here, but this still proves to be one of the funnier Honest Trailers we've seen in quite a while.

There's also a "restore the SnyderVerse" nod in there, but as is often the case, arguably the biggest laughs come from the character name changes ("Phone-In the Barbarian") right at the end.

Have a look at the Honest Trailer for The Scargiver below.

Despite being lambasted by critics, the Rebel Moon movies have pulled in a lot of viewers and performed very well for Netflix, which means we will most...
