"This is my heritage, and I am living it!" Welcome Villain Films has revealed an official trailer for Mind Body Spirit, a found footage yoga horror movie from filmmakers Alex Henes & Matthew Merenda making their feature directorial debut. This first premiered at the 2023 Phoenix Film Festival last year, and it will be on VOD this May. Breathe. Find your center… before it finds you.

She must figure out how to stop it from consuming her in this "extremely frightening and unsettling" new horror. Starring Sarah J. Bartholomew as Anya, with Madi Bready, KJ Flahive, Anna Knigge, and Kristi Noory. This also won the Audience Award for Best Feature at Unnamed Footage Festival 2024. Yeah there is some creepy potential with this concept, especially from this extra eerie house she's living in.
'Summer Camp' Comedy Official Trailer with Keaton, Bates, Woodard
"You're too lovable to hate." Awwww. Roadside Attractions has revealed the official trailer for a summer comedy called Summer Camp, hitting theaters at the end of May for everyone to enjoy. Back in the early 2000s this would've been the kind of movie that a studio would've promoted a summer blockbuster, but now it's just a simple release from Roadside. Summer Camp follows Nora, Ginny, and Mary, three childhood best friends who used to spend every summer at a sleep away camp together. After years apart seeing each other less & less, when the opportunity to get back together for a summer camp reunion presents itself, they all seize it and head off for an adventure together. Getting into all kinds of trouble camp trouble, or so it seems! Rafting, zip lines, food fights, and more shenanigans. This stars Diane Keaton as Nora, Kathy Bates as Ginny, and Alfre Woodard as Mary, along with Dennis Haysbert, Eugene Levy, Josh Peck, Nicole Richie, Betsy Sodaro, and Beverly D'Angelo. It looks like Kathy Bates is dropping the best lines in this.
Another Look at Neil Gaiman's Sandman Series 'Dead Boy Detectives'
"These two boys are cheating death." Netflix has unveiled one final 30-second teaser trailer for Dead Boy Detectives, which begins streaming today on Netflix worldwide. This new supernatural series is based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman, and a new addition to "The Sandman Universe" for Netflix. It looks cool! Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives. Two teen ghosts work alongside a clairvoyant to solve mysteries for their supernatural clientele — until a powerful witch messes it up. Edwin & Charles are best friends, ghosts, and the best detectives on the Mortal plane. They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal and her friend Niko, they are able to crack some of the mortal realm's most mystifying paranormal cases. Should be entertaining! George Rexstrew stars as Edwin and Jayden Revri as Charles, with a fun cast including Kassius Nelson, Yuyu Kitamura, Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Lukas Gage, David Iacono, and Ruth Connell. There's some rad shots in here, including a giant tentacle monster and this big mouth woman. It might actually be good?
Russell Crowe is Possessed in Meta Horror Film 'The Exorcism' Trailer
"Can he be saved?" Vertical has revealed the official trailer for a horror thriller film titled The Exorcism, starring Russell Crowe - though it's not related to his other exorcism film The Pope's Exorcist from last year. This was originally titled The Georgetown Project, but they gave it this new title that will confuse people into thinking it's related to the classic The Exorcist. Though it sort of is. This film is made by Joshua John Miller, son of actor Jason Miller, who played the doomed Father Karras in the original Exorcist film. It's inspired by his experiences growing up knowing his dad played that role. A troubled actor begins to unravel while shooting a horror film. His estranged daughter wonders if he's slipping back into his past addictions or if there's something more sinister at play. Also starring Ryan Simpkins, Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg, Samantha Mathis, & David Hyde Pierce. This is a pretty cool meta concept, a film-within-a-film horror about an actor being possessed. This trailer has some seriously scary moments…
Quarterback Jared Goff in Fun Featurette for 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F'
"The biggest lesson I learned from Axel – is to ignore the critics" Netflix has debuted an awkward comedy featurette to promote the upcoming release of the highly anticipated, long awaited sequel Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. It's set to debut streaming on Netflix this July. This promo has NFL division championship-winning Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff in it. He shares lessons he learned from Axel Foley which helped him adjust to the city (of Detroit) after his transfer from the Los Angeles Rams. This sequel picks up where things left off with Axel Foley (from the last movie in 1994) returning to the beat in California. When his daughter is threatened, he is drawn back to Beverly Hills to investigate the untimely demise of a long-time confidant. Eddie Murphy returns to star as Axel Foley (aka Axel F) for the fourth time. The new cast includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Bronson Pinchot, Paul Reiser, and Kevin Bacon. Football and Axel? Why not. It's obvious what they're doing (crossover marketing) but is any of this video actually funny? I didn't laugh much… I hope the actual movie is funnier.
Meg Stalter Gets Her Life in Order in 'Cora Bora' Comedy Film Trailer
"You are the one that left." "For my career." "I don't buy that." Brainstorm Media has revealed the trailer for an indie comedy titled Cora Bora, the latest from indie filmmaker Hannah Pearl Utt. This premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival and it also played at the Provincetown, Frameline, Outfest LA, and Stockholm Film Festivals last year. Now set for a release in June in limited theaters. Cora Bora stars Hack's standout talent Meg Stalter as Cora. After a floundering music career, she goes back home to win her girlfriend back but will realize that it's much more than her love life that needs salvaging. The ensemble cast includes Jojo T. Gibbs, Manny Jacinto, Ayden Mayeri, Thomas Mann, Chrissie Fit, Andre Hyland, Margaret Cho, with Chelsea Peretti and Darrell Hammond. This looks light and screwy and funny. Might be fun.
Watch: Tech Makes People Dance in 'Synthetic Pleasures' Short Film
"Imagine, we are all living inside of a cave. Unable to life our heads. To see. To feel, anything. Now watch, as we are set free." Is it technology setting us free, or are we freeing ourselves from technology? Nowadays the latter seems more important. This experimental short film titled Synthetic Pleasures is the creation of filmmaker Stuart Langfield. It was originally made as the main title film for OFFF Barcelona 2024 held earlier in April - OFFF is "global platform for the creative industry that sets the trends in design, art & post-digital culture." The short offers a different take on "the robot uprising, imagining a world in which our digital assistants like Siri and Alexa leave the confines of their devices and take some human bodies for a joyride, just to feel something, to be human for a minute." The result of this joyride is a selection of people dancing & moving in weird ways, which is fun for a minute until the little colorful bubbles head off to watch the sunset. This is a bit too abstract to really land, but I do like the visuals and locations. Check it out below.

Awkward Crime Thriller 'Dead Wrong' Trailer Featuring Rob Schneider
"Want what I got? You gotta go all the way." Mill Creek Entertainment has revealed the official trailer for a crime thriller film titled Dead Wrong, the latest from filmmaker Rick Bieber (no relation to Justin Bieber AFAIK). This is set for a VOD release at the end of May if anyone is interested in giving this a look. A story of greed, envy, sex and murder. A narcissistic husband is not satisfied anymore and wants more. He devises a psychotic, get-rich-quick scheme with his new, gambling-addicted attorney that ignites an emotional and deadly chain reaction. Which quickly overwhelms the lives of those around him. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? This stars Derek Smith, Katrina Bowden, Chelsea Debo, Cress Williams, Blake Shields, Rosalie Ward, Joshua Bitton, Chet Hanks, with Rob Schneider. Alas this doesn't look like it's worth a rental.
Classic Film Tour Trailer: Oscar Micheaux & Black Independent Cinema
"He didn't just make movies, he sparked a revolution." Kino Lorber is launching a classic film tour soon to celebrate a pioneering American filmmaker named Oscar Micheaux. He is known as "the country's first major Black filmmaker," who made many films from the 1920s onward that redefined what cinema could be and who it was for. His very first film was The Homesteader in 1919, however it is now considered lost. Kino Lorber will be showing 17 films from Micheaux's filmography, provided by the Library of Congress as 4K restorations & rare discoveries. Micheaux directed & produced more than 40 films from 1919-1948, shifting from silent to talkies, and depicting early such complex and taboo subjects as religious hypocrisy, interracial marriage, police violence, and lynching, often with all-Black casts and producers. This touring "festival" features 17 films that will play on the big screen at art house cinemas. Featuring Within Our Gates (1920), Micheaux’s earliest surviving feature, plus Body & Soul, The Girl From Chicago, Murder in Harlem, God's Step Children, Ten Minutes to Live, and many others. Check out some vintage footage in the trailer below.
Trailer for 'She Rises Up' Doc Follows Women Trying to End Poverty
"One can break the chains – even if they are made of iron, they can be broken." Abramorama has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled She Rises Up, from acclaimed doc filmmaker Maureen Castle Tusty (also of The Singing Revolution previously). Set for release in limited US theaters starting late June this summer. She Rises Up reveals the explosive implications of women’s economic participation as we follow radically different women from Sri Lanka, Peru, and Senegal who are fighting to build businesses that create job opportunities for even more women, while also contributing to the reduction of poverty. With Abramorama orchestrating the theatrical release and ROCO Films activating screening hosts for the film in non-traditional spaces, like college campuses, non-profits, churches and NGOs, the film will open in NYC at LOOK Dine-In Cinemas followed by more cities across the US. Five-time Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo composed & recorded an original song for this film. An empowering story about real progress in the world.
Bull Riders on a Heist in Thriller 'Ride' Trailer - Directed by Jake Allyn
"We've got ourselves a Texas-sized showdown!" Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled Ride, marking the feature directorial debut of Texas actor Jake Allyn. This is set to open in theaters and on VOD together in June this summer. Three generations of bull riders fight to raise money to transfer the family's young daughter to a better cancer hospital. Set in Stephenville TX, Ride explores rodeo, addiction in the Heartland, and the cowboy's place in modern America. A retired bull rider teams up to pull off a bank robbery, but when the heist goes wrong they end up on the run from police. Starring C. Thomas Howell as John Hawkins, with a cast including Annabeth Gish, Jake Allyn, Patrick Murney, Josh Plasse, Laci Kaye Booth, Scott Reeves, with Zia Carlock and Forrie J. Smith as Al. This looks solid, a very Texas film about the struggle to hold on tight when life starts bucking like wild. Just like riding a bull.
