They usually put out quality stuff, but I’ve never seen Neon go this all out in marketing for one of their films before until this one. Must have really liked what they saw from it.Everyone who works in Hollywood should take note of the Longlegs marketing. It’s EVERYWHERE and there’s still a few weeks until it drops. I hope it delivers.

‘Hell House LLC: Lineage’ Teaser Trailer – Fifth Installment Comes to Shudder in 2025

The hit found footage franchise Hell House LLC just released its fourth installment last year, and Terror Films Releasing has announced an upcoming fifth installment tonight.
Terror Films Releasing has teamed with writer/director Stephen Cognetti for the latest installment of the Hell House LLC franchise, titled Hell House LLC: Lineage.
The fifth installment in the franchise will go into production in November and is set to be released exclusively on Shudder in October of 2025. Watch the official teaser below.
Hell House LLC: Lineage will continue a deeper dive into the back stories of various characters within the franchise, while introducing new characters and storylines.
The film will be written and directed by Cognetti, with Joe Bandelli producing. Terror Films Releasing CEO, Joe Dain and COO, Jim Klock will act as Executive Producers.
Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley learn the price of perfection — and the pressure of the male gaze — in the first red band trailer for director Coralie Fargeat’s Cannes body-horror sensation “The Substance.”
The film tells the story of a former Hollywood star (Moore) whose career decline lands her in Jane Fonda-style fitness-show territory. Upon being fired, she’s offered a revolutionary medical treatment named The Substance, promising to deliver a younger, enhanced version of herself.
The engaging teaser trailer starts with Moore gazing into a mirror, accompanied by a mesmerizing voiceover: “Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?”
This question sets the stage for a thrilling first look, packed with high-energy imagery. We see Dennis Quaid disgustingly chomping on food, unsettling shower sequences, the mysterious “activation” serum, and Moore violently flying across a room onto a table. Adding to the intrigue, Moore angrily smears lipstick across her face, and Qualley wraps up the teaser with a sly wink.
“The Substance” made a grand entrance onto the 2024 cinematic scene at the Cannes Film Festival, earning an enthusiastic 11-minute standing ovation. It also snagged the best screenplay prize from the jury.
Variety’s chief film critic, Owen Gleiberman, lauded the film’s daring approach, particularly praising its direction, style, and standout performances. He wrote, “Moore’s performance is nothing short of fearless. She’s playing, in some very abstract way, a version of herself (once a star at the center of the universe, now old enough to be seen by sexist Hollywood as past it), and her acting is rippled with anger, terror, despair, and vengeance.”
Mubi has acquired the movie for North American distribution, and will release the film exclusively in theaters.
Produced by five-time Oscar-nominated duo Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (“Elizabeth,” “Atonement,” “Les Misérables,” “The Theory of Everything,” and “Darkest Hour”), along with Fargeat, who also penned the script, “The Substance” marks Fargeat’s second directorial feature after her intense action-thriller “Revenge” (2017).
This year is shaping up to be monumental for Moore, who is not only in the Emmys conversation for her role in FX’s “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” but also stars alongside Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm in Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Paramount+ series “Landman,” premiering on Nov. 17. Moore’s illustrious four-decade career, which boasts memorable roles in films such as “Ghost” (1990) and “Indecent Proposal” (1993), has put her front and center in the hunt her first Oscar nomination for best actress. Qualley’s equally superb work could also factor into the awards discussion, as well as the stellar makeup and hair execution.
Watched Abigail and it’s decent. The little girl was obviously the best part. There was way too much cringe dialogue.
Vamp Frank was too over the top and came off corny to me.
So Joey gets bit and that’s it? Or was the old fashioned hand kiss Vamp Dad gave her some kind of antidote?
it’s worth a watch, especially if you’re a horror head, but I don’t plan on watching it again.I fukks with Dan Stevens a lot, but yeah, things take a cartoony turn with his character. Not even really his fault either, more something that could’ve been fixed in the script.
Mentioned it in the other thread (there’s like three Abigail threads on here ), but that last act felt like I was watching a sequel to last year’s ‘Renfield’, lol.
Compared to how things fared earlier on in Abigail, it felt like two different flicks by the end. There was some fun in that and also some glaring flaws. Still an enjoyable flick though.

TLDR: Reminds me of the Clayface backstory of an aging actor taking a drug that grants them youth but has bad side effects. The drug reminds me of Reanimator.
