WE'RE NOT SAFE HERE | ©2025 Saban Films

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Sharmita Bhattacharya, Hayley McFarland, Caisey Cole, Margaret Wuerz, Arthur Higbee Writer: Solomon Gray Director: Solomon Gray Distributor: Saban Films Release Date: August 22, 2025 (theatrical, digital, VOD) WE’RE NOT SAFE HERE begins with a wheezing tied-up figure in a chair, with a bloody pillowcase over their head. Someone approaches with a sharp object and utters a shocking line of dialogue. Writer/director Solomon Gray gets our attention immediately with this opening and thereafter holds it steadily throughout. Scares are frequent; unease is constant. We then meet schoolteachers Neeta (Sharmita Bhattacharya) and Sarah (Caisey Cole). Together, they wonder about […]Read On »

The title of RESET refers to a temporal phenomenon that has been happening to unfortunate farmer Lucas (Adam Holley) ever since his nine-year-old daughter Eden (Lorelai Brown) was abducted by aliens. The aliens have done something […]Read On »

Honey is a private eye working the mean streets of Bakersfield, California, and surrounding areas. She investigates mostly cheating spouses, though she’s apt to chase away clients with advice to just patch […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Bruhl, Sydney Sweeney, Jonathan Tittle, Toby Wallace, Felix Kammerer, Richard Roxburgh Writer: Noah Pink, story by Noah Pink & Ron Howard Director: Ron Howard Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: August 22, 2025 A fair amount of research – possibly as much as that done by the filmmakers – seems required to gauge the verisimilitude of EDEN. On one hand, not only is the film based on historical events, but there is closing footage of the real people involved. On the other hand, the movie concludes with the standard disclaimer […]Read On »

It is (as its closing credits proclaim) entirely fictional, but so solid in its presentation that viewers may be tempted to check some of the facts just to be sure. We begin with narration by former San Bernardino, California, police detective Joseph Kirby (Peter Zizzo), who speaks […]Read On »
