Horror Reimagining of Three Little Pigs Hits Limited Theaters This September

According to Bloody Disgusting, an official trailer has been released online.

Sony and Spyglass Moving Forward on New Version of Japanese Horror Classic 'Pulse'

Sony's Screen Gems label and Spyglass Entertainment are developing a reimagining of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's influential 2001 Japanese horror film 'Pulse,' according to a report from Deadline as covered by Bloody Disgusting. Director Dave Boyle, known for 'Never After Dark,' is attached to helm the project. Boyle is also reportedly set to do a pass on an existing script written by Luke Piotrowski, who has credits on the recent 'Hellraiser' and 'The Night House.' Producers Parker Finn and Jonathan Fass are on board through their production banner Bad Feeling. No release date or cast details were included in the announcement. The original 'Pulse,' known in Japan as 'Kairo,' dealt with themes of isolation, technology, and ghosts using the internet as a conduit to cross over into the living world. Hollywood previously attempted a loose American adaptation in 2006. This new project appears to be a fresh reimagining rather than a direct sequel or remake of that earlier effort, though the source material does not go into specifics about how closely it will follow Kurosawa's original story.

Found-Footage Horror Film 'A Man in the Woods With an Axe' Gets 2027 Release Date and First Trailer

A new found-footage horror film titled 'A Man in the Woods With an Axe' has received an official 2027 release date, according to Dread Central, which premiered the film's first trailer exclusively. The outlet describes the project as a 'found-footage shocker,' though beyond the title, release window, and trailer debut, specific plot details, cast members, and production credits are not provided in the available source material. Found-footage as a format has long played on the idea that what you're watching could be real, which is part of what makes it effective as a horror device. The title alone is deliberately blunt and unsettling, leaning into a straightforward, grounded threat rather than supernatural mythology. Whether the film draws on any real events or locations is not stated in the available information. The 2027 release date suggests the project is still in a relatively early promotional phase, with the trailer serving as an initial public reveal.

Whalefall Uses Practical Effects to Put Actor Inside a Real-Scale Whale Stomach

20th Century Studios has released a second trailer for the upcoming film Whalefall, and according to reporting from Dread Central, this new look at the movie reveals something notably different from the first preview. The production reportedly built a practical, physical whale stomach set to actually place actor Austin Abrams inside it during filming, rather than relying entirely on digital effects. The source material confirms a second trailer has been released but provides limited additional detail about the film's plot, release date, or broader production context. What is clear is that the practical effects approach appears to be a deliberate creative choice intended to create a more visceral, grounded experience for the survival horror premise. The film's title, Whalefall, refers to the deep-sea phenomenon in which a whale carcass sinks to the ocean floor and becomes an ecosystem. Based on the available information, the production team's decision to build physical environments rather than go fully digital is a notable filmmaking commitment, though the full scope of the practical work has not been detailed in the source material provided.
