The film creates a chilling and increasingly unsettling atmosphere, blurring the line between what’s real and what’s imagined. ‘Barren’ aims to terrify audiences through its emotional depth and mounting sense of dread.
‘Send Help’ (2026)
I’m so excited for ‘Send Help’ to finally come to streaming on March 24th! It’s amazing to have Sam Raimi back doing horror. The movie stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as coworkers who couldn’t be more different – she’s underestimated, and he’s a bit of a know-it-all. They’re the only survivors of a plane crash and end up stranded on a deserted island. It’s hilarious and intense watching their work relationship completely change when they realize there are no rules anymore. It’s a wild ride – seriously funny, but also pretty gruesome as they battle both the island and each other to survive!
‘The Deep Dark’ (2023)
On March 24th, the creature feature ‘The Deep Dark’ will be available to stream.

The resulting thriller blends realistic monster effects with a gripping, claustrophobic fight for survival as the men try to escape the underground tomb.

“The Containment” is a horror film arriving on streaming services and for rental on March 24th. It centers on Caroline, a teenager struggling with the recent loss of her father, who quickly becomes possessed by a malevolent force.
