"You were supposed to find me nice guys, so I could have nice babies!" Vertical Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for a sex comedy titled The Donor Party, opening this March in theaters and on VOD. This plays like a 90s Hollywood comedy like they don't make that often anymore. Recently divorced Jaclyn desperately wants to become a mom – by any means necessary. After a messy divorce, she decides to enlist the help of her best friends to help pull off the ultimate sperm heist on unsuspecting "donors" during her friend’s intimate birthday party! Who's ready for some awkward fun? The comedy stars Malin Akerman, with Rob Corddry, Erinn Hayes, Bria Henderson, Dan Ahdoot, Rizwan Manji, Ryan Hansen, and Jerry O'Connell. Yeah this looks super uncomfortable but also quite funny? Might be worth a watch. https://onfs.net/3Xb3mkn

"Can you trust this man... after what you did to him?" Oooh - what did she do?! Apple TV has revealed an official trailer for a thriller series titled Liaison, which will be available later this month on the streaming service. The descriptions for this so far are all a bit vague: An international struggle between governments and the hackers who just want to watch it all burn. So it's kind of like Mr. Robot, or not? Something else? It stars Vincent Cassel and Eva Green as the main characters - former lovers caught in the middle of it all. Liaison is a high-stakes, contemporary thriller exploring how the mistakes of our past have the potential to destroy our future, mixing action with an unpredictable, multilayered plot - "espionage and political intrigue play out against a story of passionate and enduring love." The supporting cast also includes Peter Mullan, Gérard Lanvin, Daniel Francis, Aziz Dyab, Marco Horanieh, Stanislas Merhar, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, and Laëtitia Eïdo. It looks solid, though hopefully the politics aren't screwy, hard to tell here. Worth a look? https://onfs.net/3llz2GE

"Bone-chilling, knee-buckling nastiness." Get ready for another acid trip horror film. Shudder has unveiled an official trailer for another indie horror film streaming soon titled Spoonful of Sugar, the latest from director Mercedes Bryce Morgan. This premiered at Fantastic Fest last year and also played at the Cucalorus Film Festival. A disturbed babysitter experiences a sexual awakening while using LSD to alternatively treat a seemingly “sick” kid. Morgan Saylor stars as Millicent, who is working on her thesis about children with severe allergies. She's hired to babysit Johnny, a sickly, mute child who suffers from every allergy under the sun. As she discovers Johnny's dark family secrets things begin to become unhinged. The cast includes Kat Foster, Danilo Crovetti, Myko Olivier, Danilo Crovetti, & Keith Powell. Looks like it gets extra wild with LSD sending everyone up the walls and all over the place. Maybe too much in one film? Or maybe not. https://onfs.net/3HBP3j0

"You never know when your break's coming..." Elevation Pictures in Canada has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Brother, a Canadian feature about two Black brothers, Michael and Francis, sons of Caribbean immigrants maturing into young men amidst Toronto's pulsing 1990's hip-hop scene. This film premiered at TIFF 2022 last year, and it also played at the Vancouver, London, and Busan Film Festivals. Exploring themes of masculinity, identity and family, a mystery unfolds during the sweltering summer of 1991, and escalating tensions set off a series of events that change the course of the brothers' lives forever. Brother crafts a timely story about the profound bond between siblings, the resilience of a community and the irrepressible power of music. Starring Aaron Pierre and Lamar Johnson as Francis and Michael, with Marsha Stephanie Blake, Kiana Madeira, and Lovell Adams-Gray. It had positive reviews at the fests. Such a stunning trailer, I think this is some of the score by composer Todor Kobakov from the film. https://onfs.net/3Yb9muT

A short about a cannibal? Bon appetit. Believe it or not, this won the Best Animated Short BAFTA Award a few years ago. Our friends at Short of the Week pulled this out of their archives to share again - we never posted it before. Edmond is a stop-motion animated short from 2015 made by filmmaker Nina Gantz. Edmond's impulse to love and be close to others is strong... Maybe too strong. As he stands alone by a lake contemplating his options, he goes on a journey backwards through his life, revisiting his defining moments in search of the root of his desires. He "slips through floors into the past and the deepest parts of his psyche in his pursuit of self-understanding" as a cannibal. This would play very nicely as the opening short before Bones and All from last year. The felt characters & soft style in it work delightfully opposite the freaky topic. https://onfs.net/3YdtjBf

"There are rules, Will... You must listen with a clear and open mind." Gravitas Ventures has released the official trailer for a supernatural thriller titled ReBroken, an indie horror film from filmmaker Kenny Yates making his feature directorial debut. It'll be out to watch in March if anyone is curious to see where it goes. A devastated father receives vinyl recordings from a mysterious stranger that allow him to communicate with his recently deceased daughter. After the listens to the strange vinyl, he starts to notice messages and signs from his daughter, making him even more obsessed with trying to figure out how to bring her back. Tobin Bell co-stars with Scott Hamm Duenas playing Will, and an indie cast including Kipp Tribble, Alison Haislip, Nija Okoro, Kenny Yates, Richard Siegelman, Blake Koren, and Billy Walker. This definitely a has a direct-to-video quality, for better or worse, along with some low rent Insidious tricks. https://onfs.net/3JNJmBn

"I come here when I have dark thoughts... I think I might be a really bad person." IFC Films has unveiled a second official trailer for the indie supernatural horror film Consecration, opening in limited US theaters starting this weekend. Who's down for some freaky Nunsploitation horror?? We posted the first trailer last month giving us a look at these freaky nuns. What are they hiding? Something's going on... After the alleged suicide of her priest brother, Grace travels to the remote Scottish convent where he apparently fell to his death. Distrusting the Church's official account, she uncovers murder, sacrilege and a disturbing truth about herself. Jena Malone stars as Grace in this chilling new horror thriller. The cast includes Danny Huston, Janet Suzman, and Ian Pirie. Reviews indicate "fans of a slow-burn psychological horror will certainly find plenty to enjoy from the familiar territory and reliable jump scares." Check out the final preview below. https://onfs.net/3DVfAXt

"This isn't like any other Ghostface..." Paramount Pictures has revealed their scary Super Bowl TV spot for Scream VI, the follow-up sequel to last year's Scream (also known as Scream 5). It's a full 60 second spot also announcing that tickets are now on sale - via the official site. Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four young survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter. This one brings the mayhem to New York City, as a new killer pops up in this city wreaking havoc. In Scream VI, Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Hayden Panettiere, and Courteney Cox return to their roles in the franchise, with Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra, and Samara Weaving. We featured the first full trailer for Scream 6 just a few weeks ago - the more they show, the better it looks. And I really dig that eerie shrine. https://onfs.net/3lbdLPA

"You're like a real life Rambo!" Amazon has revealed a brand new trailer for a repackaged and recut Quibi series titled Die Hart, which will be (re)released for streaming on Prime Video later in February. This was initially made as one of these dumb Quibi series, where you view short snippets at a time on the app, and the service failed pretty quickly because it was a bad idea all along. The footage has been edited into a movie version, which will be streaming only. It follows a fictionalized version of Kevin Hart as he tries to become an action movie star. He attends a school run by Ron Wilcox (played by Travolta), where he attempts to learn the ropes on how to become one of the industry's most coveted action stars. Ugh. Originally written for Bruce Willis but Willis didn't understand the concept of Quibi (phew!) and turned it down replaced by John Travolta. The cast includes Nathalie Emmanuel, Josh Hartnett, and Jean Reno. This looks so bad, stay away folks. But props to them for releasing it anyway. I guess maybe a few people might find it funny? https://onfs.net/3I9o8N5

"Aim for virtue, happiness will follow." German distributor Weltkino Filmverleih has revealed two official trailers for the film Seneca, the latest from director Robert Schwentke who has been working in Hollywood for years (he last made Snake Eyes). The full title is actually Seneca - On the Creation of Earthquakes, and this is premiering at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival later this month, with a German release set in March. A look at the relationship between Seneca and Nero, the infamous Emperor he mentored since childhood and who accused him of plotting his assassination. The plot revolves around Nero telling him to kill himself, and how Seneca then responds. "Schwentke has made a pyrotechnic display of a film that is almost peerless in its use of over-the-top punchlines, splatter-sarcasm and love of verbal precocity. Stunning and incredibly topical, Seneca asks: is the educated elite a victim of tyranny or an opportunistic collaborator? The time is indeed ripe for political allegories." John Malkovich stars as the intellectual Italian stoic philosopher, with a cast including Tom Xander, Geraldine Chaplin, Louis Hofmann, and Lilith Stangenberg. It looks suitably wacky and weird, which is a refreshing change from so many serious movies out there. Enjoy. https://onfs.net/3I9B0Ti

"Guys - we've got a dick to rip off!!" Universal Pictures has unveiled the first official trailer for a hilarious, foul-mouthed new doggie comedy titled Strays - definitely not a "family friendly" dog movie. It's landing in theaters in June this summer. "They say a dog is a man's best friend, but what if the man is a total dirtbag? In that case, it might be time for some sweet revenge, doggy style." An abandoned dog teams up with other strays to get revenge on his former owner, Doug, played by Will Forte. A subversion of the dog movies we know and love, Strays, directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) is a hilarious, R-rated, live-action comedy about the complications of love, the importance of great friendships, and the unexpected virtues of couch humping. Produced by Lord & Miller - which means it'll be gold. The film stars Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher, Randall Park, Josh Gad, Harvey Guillén, Brett Gelman, Rob Riggle, Jamie Demetriou, and Sofia Vergara. Looks damn good! A surprisingly brash dog movie. https://onfs.net/40EUne8

"There's nothing like having the one you hold dearest, nearest, when the world turns cold." IFC Films has revealed the first teaser trailer for a film called Paint, from writer / director Brit McAdams. This is the Bob Ross film that is about Bob Ross but it's not really about Bob Ross, because the guy in this isn't called Bob Ross (but it's pretty much him). Owen Wilson stars as Carl Nargle, Vermont's #1 public TV painter who's convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, fans hanging on his every stroke... until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves. He soon finds himself in a rut, and the station isn't pulling in ratings. So when they hire a new painter to revitalize the channel, Carl's own fears regarding his talents are brought to the forefront. The film's cast includes Stephen Root, Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lusia Strus, Lucy Freyer, and Ciara Renée. Oh this looks lovely! I've been looking forward to seeing some footage from this - so far so good. Have a nice, warm & fuzzy feeling about this one. https://onfs.net/3x7yI0B

"I believe in the theatrical experience." Paramount Pictures has debuted a new featurette for the 2023 re-release of Titanic, James Cameron's epic romantic tale of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. "Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the timeless love story this Valentine's Day Weekend." This is opening on the big screen again in 4K 3D (along with HFR screenings) and will play throughout February. This video focuses on the cast and filmmakers reflecting on making Titanic now 25 years later, to compliment the re-release trailer. With a cast headed by Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, the film is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the "unsinkable" Titanic, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. Also starring Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton, and Gloria Stuart. This featurette is way too short, more of a slapdash promo plus a reminder this is (re-)opening soon. They didn't even get DiCaprio to talk about it! Though it's nice to hear Cameron still raving about it all these years later. https://onfs.net/3HFEStM

"I keep the world at a distance." Dark Star Pictures has unveiled the US trailer for a New Zealand indie sports film titled Punch, a boxing drama from filmmaker Welby Ings. This premiered at a few festivals last year, and is arriving in the US on VOD and in theaters in March. Jordan Oosterhof stars as Jim, a young boxer preparing for his first professional fight. He begins to rethink his life and his sexuality after tangling with Whetu, a gay Maori boy who spends his days in an old shack down by the beach. The two are forced to navigate isolation, homophobia, and the brutality of small-town life. As Jim discovers what it means to be gay, he realizes how little strength is connected to heroism. The cast includes Tim Roth, Conan Hayes, Abigail Laurent, and Sage Klein. The film seems solid, an emotionally potent story about a young boxer. https://onfs.net/3xra4IJ

"My hands were always dirty. They were soaked daily in the unnameable... Who was the obscure being in this story?" Another must watch short film creation from French filmmaker / editor Fabrice Mathieu. His latest is In the Shadow (also titled Dans l'ombre in French), a clever mash-up of film noir B&W footage to create an intriguing story about a shadow escaping his "wearer" in a city full of mystery and darkness. "A shadow is telling its life story with his 'Wearer', a flesh & bone double, who one day it decides to get rid of..." This is a proof-of-concept pitch made entirely from existing footage from more than 60 movies showing the most beautiful shadows in cinema history, from Nosferatu to Sin City to The Third Man, and everything else in-between. It's narrated from the shadow's POV. This is so mesmerizing! Another great film from Fabrice. https://onfs.net/40Ii7hC

"This runs deeper than you realize, and farther than you can imagine." Netflix has revealed a first look teaser for an intriguing new spy thriller titled The Night Agent. It will be streaming on Netflix starting this March, based on the book of the same name by Matthew Quirk. A low-level FBI agent, Peter Sutherland, who works in the basement of the White House, watches a phone that never rings – until the night it does, propelling him into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office. "This is the story of the night it rings." How's that for an opening pitch? Meet the Night Agent this spring - starring Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland. The cast also has Luciane Buchanan, Hong Chau, D.B. Woodside, Enrique Murciano, Eve Harlow, Sarah Desjardins, Fola Evans-Akingbola, & Phoenix Raei. Well damn, this looks like it might kick ass? And the heavy mysteriousness of this trailer really got to me. I am hooked, gotta find out... https://onfs.net/3DRRzAy

"Did something happen last night?" Oh something definitely did. Terror Films has revealed a trailer for an indie horror / psychological thriller titled The Burial, which marks the feature directorial debut of Michael Escalante - who got his start in the movie business by interning at Roger Corman's New Horizons Pictures. This will be out to watch on VOD starting in early March. After his estranged brother contacts him for help, a man and his girlfriend answer the call, only to find themselves unwittingly dragged into a murderous plot with severe consequences. "My goal with my feature debut, The Burial, was to establish a relatable sense of drama and tension between two estranged brothers even before blood starts being spilled." The film stars Faith Kearns, Vernon Taylor, Aaron Pyle, and Spencer Weitzel. For genre fans only, it's a bit rough. https://onfs.net/3JTenng

"You can do something for the world that's beyond yourself..." Gravitas Ventures has revealed the official trailer for an indie drama titled All the World is Sleeping, the latest film made by writer / director Ryan Lacen. This first premiered at one film festival back in 2021 and is finally opening in a limited release with a VOD option as well starting this March. Fighting for her own life and the ones she loves, a young mother in New Mexico sinks deeper in her addiction while struggling to surface for her daughter. The film "highlights the stigma connected with substance abuse and the seemingly never-ending cycle many people battle..." All the World is Sleeping stars Melissa Barrera as Chama, along with Jackie Cruz, Jorge Garcia, Kristen Gutoskie, Valentina Herrera, Lisandra Tena, and Luis Bordonada. This really doesn't seem so bad, an intimate and captivating look at just how hard it is to break an addiction and live a clean life. View below. https://onfs.net/3XhooxB

"You embody everything that is wrong with your gender." Voltage Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for a romantic comedy called Beautiful Disaster. Now set to open in US theaters this April, along with many other countries around the world. Adapted from Jamie McGuire's novel of the same name, the story is about two lovers - "bad-boy" Travis is exactly what freshman Abby wants and needs to avoid. He spends his nights fighting in underground boxing matches, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. But Abby wants nothing to do with Travis. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis' apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea he has met his match. This sounds like a toxic premise, or is it just me? The film stars Dylan Sprouse and Virginia Gardner, with Austin North, Libe Barer, Rob Estes, & Brian Austin Green. This seems like some raunchy, wild fun https://onfs.net/40Giw43
