Stung: Justin Long and Iris Apatow sign on for killer bee survival thriller

Fresh off of working together on the horror comedy survival thriller Coyotes, actor Justin Long and director Colin Minihan are set to reteam on another survival thriller called Stung, and Variety reports that Long will be joined in the cast by Iris Apatow (Pretty Lethal).

What is Stung about?

Variety lets us know: Set against the backdrop of suburban isolation and mounting paranoia, Stung follows four teenage girls whose innocent sleepover spirals into a nightmare when they become trapped inside a luxury Orange County home overtaken by a massive swarm of Africanized killer bees.

The film is being produced by Andre Relis and Jib Polhemus, with VMI Worldwide is presenting the project to worldwide buyers in Cannes.

What has been said about Stung?

Minihan provided the following statement: “Stung taps into a very primal fear. You’re trapped, isolated, and under attack from something unstoppable. But beneath the horror, it’s also a story about friendship, trust, and survival under pressure.

Relis and Polhemus added, “We were immediately drawn to the film’s contained intensity and commercial concept. Colin has a fantastic visual style and a strong command of suspense, and we believe Stung has the potential to become a standout genre title for audiences worldwide.

Well, the set-up sounds like the makings of a good time to me, so I look forward to seeing how this one is going to turn out.

What else has Colin Minihan directed?

After several years of working as a music video director for the likes of Ten Second Epic, Theory of a Deadman, These Kids Wear Crowns, Marianas Trench, Papa Roach, and Carly Rae Jepsen, Minihan made his feature directorial debut with the 2011 horror film Grave Encounters, which he co-directed with Stuart Ortiz as the Vicious Brothers.

The alien invasion film Extraterrestrial followed in 2014, then the zombie film It Stains the Sands Red in 2016 and the psychological horror film What Keeps You Alive in 2018.

Last year, we got Coyotes, and now Minihan has his sights set on Stung.

Twilight of the Dead: Kate Beckinsale replaces Milla Jovovich as the lead in Romero-inspired zombie movie

Back in 2021, it was revealed that the legendary George A. Romero (who passed away in 2017) had left behind a treatment for the “seventh and final installment” in his Dead franchise – following Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the DeadLand of the DeadDiary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead. The story Romero had come up with used a title than many fans expected him to use for his follow-up to DayTwilight of the Dead, and the team of Joe Knetter, Robert Lucas, and Paolo Zelati, who also worked on the treatment with Romero, were working on fleshing it out into a screenplay. This one has been taking the long road to production, but now it has taken a big step forward, as Deadline reports that Kate Beckinsale of the Underworld franchise has signed on to star in the film!

New Cast and Directors

Of course, this isn’t the first time an actor has signed on for the lead role. Two years ago, we heard that Twilight of the Dead had secured funding from Roundtable Entertainment, and Session 9 director Brad Anderson signed on to helm the film soon after. Anderson cast Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich in the lead role, and she was set to be joined in the cast by Betty Gabriel (Get Out).

Then the project ran into financial trouble.

Greg Nicotero, who got his special effects career started on the Romero classic Day of the Dead and went on to work with Romero on several more projects (including Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead), will be handling the FX on Twilight of the Dead and has said that this will be a “full circle” moment in his career.

When asked for a status update during an interview with Slasher Radio seven months ago, Nicotero said, “The interesting thing about George’s universe is, the zombies evolve. … This continues that intention, which I think is really interesting and unlike any other zombie stuff that’s out there. It’s very different. I’ve had a bunch of meetings with the director, we did some designs, and we’re sort of waiting for them to secure the rest of their financing.

Deadline reports that Twilight of the Dead “has recently undergone a facelift with new cast, director and financiers.” So not only are Jovovich and Gabriel out, with Beckinsale stepping in, but Anderson has also been replaced at the helm

The new directors are the Paz Brothers, Doron and Yoav Paz, whose movies include Jeruzalem, The Golem, and Plan A. Ho Sung Pak (Bullet Train) will be directing the stunt and action sequences.

What is Twilight of the Dead about?

Set on a tropical island, Twilight of the Dead will “delve into the dark nature of humanity from the perspective of the last humans on earth who are caught between factions of the undead.” Like the previous Dead films, it has been described as a “thought-provoking sociopolitical commentary wrapped in a genre piece.”

The film is being produced by the Roundtable Entertainment team, led by producers John Baldecchi and Sarah Donnelly with executive producer and Roundtable President, Dominic Ianno, and in partnership with Suzanne Romero. Producers include Bob Yari, Shaun Sanghani of SSS Entertainment, and Aanaxion’s Kenneth Kim, Ho Sung Pak and George Furla. Executive producers include Stephanie Caleb, Roundtable’s Alex Dundas and Jason Resnick, Josh Kagan, Sean Carey, Stu Snyder, Hakim Bangash, Victor Ianno, Streamline Global’s Emily Hunter Salveson, Jamie Thompson, Brian Skiba, Jeff Elliott, and Aanaxion’s Bong-Seob Mun, Bang-Ok Joo. Young-Joo Ji, Sung-Il Ahn, and Kwang Jin Kim.

Magenta Light Studios has secured the North American rights and will distribute the film in theatres across the U.S. and Canada. International sales are being handled by The Syndicate, with executive producers Jeffrey Giles and Michael Lurie representing the project at the Cannes market. Buyers will be able to read a screenplay and see concept materials.

What has been said about Twilight of the Dead?

Baldecchi said, “We’re thrilled to have Kate Beckinsale starring in Twilight of the Dead. Her extraordinary talent, emotional range, and commanding screen presence make her the perfect actress to lead a final chapter worthy of George’s legacy.

Bob Yari, CEO of Magenta Light Studios, added: “George Romero is one of the most successful and influential creatives in the horror and genre space, and his final film deserves to be experienced on the big screen. We’re proud to partner with his estate and the filmmakers to bring Twilight of the Dead to audiences. As a standout addition to Magenta Light Studios’ growing film catalog, we are committed to delivering a thrilling theatrical experience for fans who have been waiting years for this conclusion.

And the Paz Brothers provided the following statement: “Stepping into Romero’s world is the ultimate privilege for any genre filmmaker. This is more than a continuation, it’s a responsibility. We are committed to honoring his voice while delivering a visceral, terrifying, impactful experience for today’s audience that resonates beyond the screen.

Chandler Riggs horror comedy Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma sets a release plan

Scatena & Rosner Films have announced the North American release plans for writer/director Shane Brady’s revenge fantasy horror comedy Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma, which stars Chandler Riggs of The Walking Dead. The film is set to receive a limited theatrical run by the end of this month, followed by a VOD and digital release on June 2.

What is Hacked about?

Based on true events that happened to Brady and producer Emily Zercher (they were scammed out of $20,000), Hacked has the following synopsis:

The Rumble family’s dream of buying their first home turns into a nightmare when Florida’s most elusive hacker, “The Chameleon”, steals their life savings. But this hacker messed with the wrong family… The bank fails them. The police can’t help. Furious and desperate, they plot a revenge-fueled take down of the hacker, determined to make him pay for every life he’s destroyed. What started as a financial tragedy soon spirals into a fast-paced, darkly comedic adventure to reclaim their money-and their dignity. Revenge has never been this much fun!

Riggs is joined in the cast by Owen Atlas (Little Evil), Collin Thompson (Breathing Happy), Richard Riehle (Office Space), Katelyn Nacon (The Walking Dead), Augie Duke (Mayans M.C.), Hugh Scott (Deadpool), Brittney Escalante (9-1-1: Lone Star), Glenn Stanton (Chicago Fire), Mia Castillo (The Fairly Odd Parents: Fairly Odder), and NHL Hall of Famer and Founder of the Tampa Bay Lightning Phil Esposito. Brady also reserved an acting role for himself.

The film features music from rock band Underoath, and prominently features charities NMDP, a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy, and TSC Alliance, dedicated to tuberous sclerosis research and support.

What has been said about Hacked?

Zach Stampone, Head of Acquisitions at Scatena & Rosner Films, provided the following statement: “I championed Hacked from day one. The energy around this film was undeniable. It’s insane, absurd, and incredibly fun, driven by rapid-fire editing and quick cuts that give it a chaotic, roller coaster pace. I’m confident it’s going to connect with audiences and perform very well across all platforms.

Brady added, “Hacked was born from the simple idea that sometimes getting screwed over can either break you or give you one hell of a story to tell. I make films to turn pain, chaos, and frustration into something communal, funny, and wildly entertaining, and I’m beyond excited that audiences across North America will get to experience that with S&R Films as our distribution partner.

Riggs had this to say: “This film is one of the WILDEST rides I’ve ever been on – both as an actor, and as an audience member. It’s a constant stream of insanity in the best way possible. I truly had the most fun getting to play Rob “The Chameleon” Huberton, and I can’t begin to express how excited I am that people all across North America will get to experience this movie.

Atlas said, “Working on Hacked was an incredible experience. Showcasing my MMA skills in the fight scene with Chandler was my favorite part, he was such a good sport about the whole thing. I also really enjoyed playing a character who sets all of the chaos in motion and then has to deal with the consequences of his actions.

Zercher wraps up the quotes with, “Hacked is for everyone who’s taken a hit, swallowed their rage, and kept going anyway. Our goal was to capture the American Dream going completely off the rails and exploding into a wild ride of humiliation, hilarity, and ultimate revenge. We took the fantasies you can’t legally act on in real life and turned them into cathartic cinematic chaos.

Zercher and Brady produced Hacked through their company Spooky Feet Films, with Rhondda Stark-Atlas, Jodi Thompson, and Bryan Thompson serving as executive producers.

Remain is the highest-testing movie of M. Night Shyamalan’s career

A while back, it was announced that The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan and The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks were teaming up for a supernatural romantic thriller called Remain. Shyamalan and Sparks created the original story together, with Shyamalan going off to write a screenplay based on the story while Sparks turned the idea into a novel. As was said at the time, “Both will be based on the same concept and set of characters but designed for their individual mediums.” The Sparks novel has since reached store shelves and is available for purchase at THIS LINK. Shyamalan’s movie is set to be released on February 5, 2027 – but test screenings have already been held, and Shyamalan says it’s the highest-testing movie of his career.

What is Remain about?

Sparks’ novel has the following description: A one-of-a-kind novel that grapples with the supernatural mysteries of life, death, and human connection—an unprecedented collaboration between the globally bestselling author of love stories like The Notebook and the renowned writer and director of blockbuster thrillers like The Sixth Sense.

When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend’s summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start. Recently discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated for acute depression, he is still wrestling with the pain of losing his beloved sister. Sylvia’s deathbed revelation—that she can see spirits who are still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their family—sits uneasily with Tate, who struggles to believe in more than what reason can explain. But when he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who will challenge every assumption he has about his logical and controlled world. Tate and Wren find themselves forging an immediate connection, one that neither has ever experienced before.

But Tate gradually discovers that below the surface of Wren’s idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy, and greed are festering, threatening their fragile relationship just as it begins to blossom. Tate realizes that in order to free Wren from an increasingly desperate fate, he will need to unearth the truth about her past before time runs out . . . a quest that will make him doubt whether we can ever believe the stories we tell about ourselves, and the laws that govern our existence. Love—while transformative—can sometimes be frightening.

A story about the power of transcendent emotion, Remain asks us all: Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death? 

Shyamalan’s film stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), Julie Hagerty (Airplane), Jay O. Sanders (When You Finishing Saving the World) Tracy Ifeachor (The Pitt), Hannah James (Mercy Street), Caleb Ruminer (The Irrational), Kieran Mulcare (Jessica Jones), Maria Dizzia (My Old Ass), and award-winning actor, producer, director and recording artist Ashley Walters (Adolescence).

What did Shyamalan say about Remain?

Shyamalan took the stage at Warner Bros. Discovery’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York today, and The Hollywood Reporter shared the following quote:

My new movie began with a conversation, an unexpected one, with a celebrated author, Nicholas Sparks. He sold more than 130 million books worldwide and wrote one of the most iconic love stories ever, The Notebook. Romance is his territory. Mine’s a little different. I’m drawn to suspense, to twists and tension and stories that leave you just a little unsettled long after they are over. That feels like home to me.

We started from nothing, just a couple of questions: What scares you? What moves you? What stays with you? We challenged each other. We traded ideas and slowly wove two very different perspectives into a single, thrilling, supernatural love story. In the end, we get to tell it our own way. Mine through film, Nicholas through his novel.

The novel is not a novelization, and the film is not an adaptation. It’s two storytellers telling the story of Remain in their own way. Together, we created the story of recluse architect Tate Gordon, who moves to a small coastal town to complete his latest project when he encounters a beguiling young woman who pulls him out of his shell and into the center of a deadly mystery that hangs over this town.

Just between us, it’s my highest-testing movie of my career. We’re now in post-production, finding every detail. Honestly, my hope is that when you experience Remain, you feel both sides of it at once — full of love and that quiet, lingering unease that doesn’t let you go.

Interview: Curry Barker, Inde Navarrette, and Michael Johnston Talk Obsession

Curry Barker caught my attention with ‘That’s a Bad Idea.’ The shorts he and his pal Cooper Tomlinson produce are wonderfully creative and sometimes creepily awkward in a good way. When news arrived that Barker would be writing and directing a feature for Focus and Blumhouse, the match was quite exciting. And yes, Obsession (read our review here) is one f’ed up movie that will strike a nerve for those looking for a thrill.

Obsession stars Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette as Bear and Nikki. Over the course of their friendship, Bear has developed a crush on Nikki. Desperate and lonely, he decides to ‘make a wish’ with a little toy that supposedly can grant them. Unfortunately, for him, his wish comes true. You should always be careful what you wish for.

Recently, I had a blast sitting down with Curry, Michael, and Inde. The moment I walked in, I offered them a little token of my appreciation. One I picked up at a little place called Cassell’s Music. It has been one of my favorite music stores for decades. And it’s prominently featured in the film. It made me appreciate Obsession all the more.

During our conversation, they discussed taking the film to such dark places. And with Barker taking a shot at The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I’m thrilled to see what he does. I love what he and Cooper do together, so I’m already curious.

Obsession is going to hit some of you hard. It is most definitely the type of flick you’d have a blast at on opening weekend. It hits theatres Friday!

Revisiting Prom Night 3: Mary Lou’s Wildest Night Yet

The Prom Night series is definitely what I’d call a cash-in franchise. Consisting of four films — well, almost five, but more on that later — and a remake, it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. The first and second films are separated by seven years, but they might as well exist in different universes based on how they present themselves. Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss, though, took a couple of viewings for me to really appreciate. It was a movie that wasn’t originally written to be a Prom Night sequel (Hellraiser feels your pain), technically has two directors according to the Director’s Guild, and took the series in a direction nobody expected, especially at the time of production.

Now that the movie is finally getting the boutique-label physical media treatment it deserves — check out our own article on the release — it’s time to revisit this weird entry in Canadian horror cinema and head back to Hamilton High for a strangely comedic, surprisingly gory sequel in a franchise that probably shouldn’t exist.

This is Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss, a movie that shouldn’t be as fun as it is.

How Prom Night Became a Supernatural Franchise

Prom Night 2: Hello Mary Lou from 1987 decided to chase the Freddy Krueger crowd with an undead killer who murders with supernatural powers. No, not through dreams, so it’s obviously not apples-to-apples, but it’s far removed from the Halloween or Friday the 13th style of slasher filmmaking. The supernatural approach worked incredibly well, though. For one thing, sequels suddenly became easy. You no longer needed plausible explanations for why the killer kept returning because Mary Lou operates on ghost logic that doesn’t really have to make sense.

The other big plus? If you’ve revisited the original Prom Night starring Jamie Lee Curtis recently… it’s a little boring. Hello Mary Lou added better kills, more gore, stronger makeup effects, and the kind of sleaze and excess these movies absolutely thrive on. The film barely made its budget back, but a lack of profitability has never stopped horror studios from pushing forward with another sequel.

Thankfully, part of the groundwork was already there.

Prom Night 3 revisited

The “Hamilton High” Origins

Parts two and three were actually written by the same person at the same time, and here’s the real twist: neither movie was originally intended to be part of the Prom Night franchise. The movie we now know as Prom Night 2: Hello Mary Lou began life as a standalone project titled The Haunting of Hamilton High. Today’s movie was originally called The Haunting of Hamilton High 2.

Knowing that suddenly makes everything click. These two movies fit together perfectly while having almost nothing to do with the 1980 original.

The writer behind both films was Ron Oliver, who also became one of the credited directors on Prom Night 3. Producer Don Simpson, the only person involved in all four original films, spent so much time helping during the freezing Canadian shoot that he earned a directing credit as well.

While Simpson had produced films for years, this was the only directing credit of his career. Oliver, meanwhile, was just getting started.

Ron Oliver’s Horror Legacy

Prom Night 3 marked the first feature film directed by Ron Oliver, but he would go on to rack up nearly 100 directing credits, including television movies as recently as 2025. If you grew up in the same era I did, you’ve absolutely seen his work before. Oliver directed 17 episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark? and 16 episodes of Goosebumps.

While most of his career has been spent directing TV episodes and made-for-TV movies, horror fans will always remember him for those two gateway horror series and for the bizarre middle entries in the Prom Night franchise.

His unconventional script is one of the main reasons Prom Night 3 works as well as it does.

Horror Comedy Done Right

Prom Night 3 is a horror comedy with a heavy emphasis on comedy. It doesn’t necessarily look that way at first glance, especially if you’re coming directly from part two, but once you lock into that mindset, the movie becomes way more enjoyable.

The film opens in a spooky graveyard before transporting us to a version of Hell where doomed souls dance forever to terrible prom music. Mary Lou, now played by Courtney Taylor, files away at her restraints until her gravestone explodes.

The whole thing feels like A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master levels of absurdity or Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives zombie-era cheese.

Taylor does a fantastic job stepping into the role. Apparently, Lisa Schrage was never even contacted about returning despite positive reviews and her later cult status among horror fans. Taylor takes the character in a more dangerous direction while still keeping Mary Lou playful and weirdly charismatic.

Prom Night 3 revisited

Straight-to-Video Energy in the Best Way

For a movie that went straight-to-video in the United States and received only a brief theatrical run in Canada, Prom Night 3 feels like there should be more material out there surrounding it. Hopefully that changes. This movie feels like it has deleted gore scenes sitting somewhere in a vault. It also seems like the kind of production that deserves cast and crew interviews about the making of it.

Still, what survives is entertaining enough on its own.

The Rare “Final Boy”

The movie flips the slasher formula by centering around a rare “final boy” protagonist.

Alex Grey, played by Tim Conlon, is a socially awkward teenager stuck in a painfully average life. He gets bullied by jocks, dismissed by teachers, and completely written off by the guidance counselor.

Naturally, Mary Lou responds by murdering nearly everyone who treats him badly.

Alex also has a loyal best friend in Shane, played by David Stratton, and a genuinely caring love interest in Sarah, played by Cynthia Preston. Preston’s career is packed with cult genre appearances, including voicing Princess Zelda in the late-1980s The Legend of Zelda cartoon and appearing in horror films like Pin and The Brain.

The cast is clearly having fun, but the real heavy lifting comes from Oliver’s script, the practical effects, and Courtney Taylor’s gleefully chaotic performance as Mary Lou.

Prom Night 3 revisited

Gore, Surrealism, and Total Chaos

After Alex and Mary Lou sleep together (on an American flag, no less), she becomes obsessively attached to him. She murders the guidance counselor who sees no future in Alex, kills the teacher constantly humiliating him, and wipes out the football players tormenting him at school.

Eventually, though, everyone becomes expendable. Mary Lou even kills Shane and Sarah after dragging everyone back into her 1950s timeline.

The movie constantly bounces between surreal comedy and full-on gore showcase. Mary Lou can seemingly manipulate reality however she wants, appearing anywhere at any time.

You can also tell where the production either ran out of ideas or budget. Several deaths reuse the same pink-purple electrocution effect, and multiple victims get their hearts ripped out with minimal gore shown onscreen.

Thankfully, the creative kills make up for it. Ice cream cones through hands, exploding pacemakers, acid-filled salon deaths, and footballs transforming into drills before impalement all help give the movie its own bizarre identity.

At just under 100 minutes, the pacing rarely drags. Every time it feels like the movie is about to completely lose control, it somehow escalates into something even crazier: zombie gauntlets in Hell, random time travel, or Alex ending the movie trapped out of his own era and slowly losing his mind.

Why Prom Night 3 Works

One of my favorite running jokes comes after Alex is arrested for Mary Lou’s murders. The media blames everything on diet, music lyrics, and horror movies, the exact same cultural panic arguments that continued throughout the 1990s and still exist today.

Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss took a couple of rewatches for me to fully appreciate. It’s horror that isn’t particularly scary and comedy that doesn’t always land. By traditional standards, it’s probably not a “good” movie. But I’d still take it over the slow original film or the 2000s remake any day.

I originally watched this and Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from Evil during the beginning of COVID, and neither really connected with me at the time. Revisiting part three, though, has made me want to give part four another shot.

Interestingly, the franchise almost had a fifth entry. A 1994 movie titled The Club was nearly turned into Prom Night 5. Instead of being folded into the franchise like parts two and three were, it went the opposite direction and became its own forgotten mid-90s straight-to-video horror movie.

Here’s hoping Mary Lou’s final outing finally gets the physical media release it deserves. Until then, you should at least consider taking this deranged date to the prom.

When will Lee Cronin’s The Mummy get a digital release?

Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin recently teamed up with Atomic Monster, Blumhouse Productions, and New Line Cinema to bring us his take on the concept of a classic horror monster, the mummy. His film, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, reached theatres last month (you can read our review HERE) – and now, we’re just one week away from the digital release! Our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is set for a May 19 digital release, with a physical media release to follow on July 14.

What is the runtime of The Mummy?

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy has a runtime of 134 minutes (2 hours and 14 minutes), making it one of the longest mummy movies ever made.

Who’s in the cast?

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy stars Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Laia Costa (Victoria), May Calamawy (Moon Knight), Veronica Falcón (Queen of the South), Hayat Kamille (Vikings: Valhalla), and May Elghety (Clash).

It should be noted that, since the project is set up at New Line Cinema, this “new take on the horror trope revolving around the ancient mummified undead” has nothing to do with the classic Universal horror property. We heard back in May 2024 that there are three Mummy projects in development at Universal, including a prequel that screenwriter Wes Tooke is working on and a sequel to the Brendan Fraser films (those being The Mummy 1999, The Mummy Returns, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor). It was recently confirmed that Fraser and Rachel Weisz are coming back for The Mummy 4, which has Radio Silence attached to direct from a script by David Coggeshall.

What is the film about?

Here’s the synopsis: The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.

Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing Lee Cronin’s film. James Wan is producing alongside Jason Blum and John Keville. Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Macdara Kelleher serve as executive producers. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster. Cronin’s Doppelgängers banner is also producing.
