Lou Ferrigno is back on screen and stepping into new territory. The legendary actor best known for The Incredible Hulk makes his first-ever horror appearance in The Hermit, a backwoods thriller that leans dark, strange, and unapologetically grim.
Released by Uncork’d Entertainment, The Hermit arrives on Digital and On Demand March 3, following a Los Angeles premiere on March 2. Ferrigno stars as a reclusive pig farmer with a gruesome secret, selling jerky made from human flesh. It’s his first creature-style role in decades, and easily his most unsettling.
The film also stars Malina Weissman (A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Anthony Turpel (Love, Victor) as two teenagers whose vacation into the woods turns into a fight for survival. What starts as an uncomfortable trip quickly spirals into something far worse.
Directed by Salvatore Sclafani, The Hermit marks the filmmaker’s first English-language feature after his earlier work on Tyger Tyger. The tone walks a fine line between horror and dark absurdity, embracing its B-movie roots while pushing into more disturbing territory.
“I’ve always been a big fan of scary movies,” Ferrigno said in a statement. “I hope this one ends up on everyone’s must-watch list.”
The Hermit premieres March 3 on Digital and On Demand.
Samuel Goldwyn Films has released the official trailer for Oscar Shaw, a new action thriller starring Michael Jai White alongside Tyrese Gibson and Isaiah Washington. The film is set to arrive in theaters and on digital platforms on January 9.
White plays a retired police detective who takes justice into his own hands after the death of his closest friend, launching a familiar vengeance-driven storyline that places him back on the streets he once swore to protect. Directed by R. Ellis Frazier and Justin Nesbitt, Oscar Shaw leans heavily into genre staples, with shadowy visuals, street-level gunfights, and tough-talking confrontations framing its revenge narrative.
The trailer positions Oscar Shaw squarely within the wave of low-budget, direct-to-VOD action films that White has increasingly headlined in recent years, offering another vehicle for his physical presence and fight choreography rather than a reinvention of the genre. For fans of straightforward revenge thrillers, the film appears to deliver exactly what it promises, with little interest in subverting expectations.
Netflix has released the first teaser for Apex, a survival thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Adrift), set in the Australian wilderness. The film stars Charlize Theron as a grieving woman whose search for solitude turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a serial killer, played by Taron Egerton.
The teaser emphasizes isolation, psychological tension, and the unforgiving natural environment, positioning the landscape as a central force in the story. Brief footage suggests a stripped-down narrative focused on endurance, pursuit, and survival rather than spectacle.
Shot on location in New South Wales, Apex also stars Eric Bana and was filmed using real outdoor locations, including remote rivers and mountain terrain. The film continues Kormákur’s interest in extreme environments and human vulnerability, a recurring theme in his previous work.
Apex premieres globally on Netflix on April 24, 2026.
Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s epic adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek poem. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, on his perilous journey home following the Trojan War.

The footage also introduces Tom Holland as Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Odysseus’ wife, whose plea for his return frames the trailer’s emotional core.
The cast includes Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, and John Leguizamo. Nolan wrote and directed the film, producing alongside Emma Thomas, and shot the project using newly developed IMAX film technology to stage the story on an epic scale. The Odyssey is scheduled for theatrical release on July 17, 2026.
Steven Spielberg is returning to familiar science-fiction territory with Disclosure Day, his next feature film, as Universal Pictures released the first teaser for the project this week.

The teaser offers cryptic glimpses of a world on the brink of a global revelation, centering on characters played by Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor. Blunt appears as a television meteorologist who experiences a disturbing on-air episode, while O’Connor portrays a man determined to reveal proof of alien life to the public. The footage hints at unexplained phenomena, shifting identities, and the possibility that humanity is no longer alone.
Disclosure Day stars Blunt, O’Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, and Henry Lloyd-Hughes. Spielberg directs from a screenplay by longtime collaborator David Koepp, based on an original story by Spielberg. The film is produced by Spielberg and Kristie Macosko Krieger through Amblin Entertainment.

After the death of his mother, he decides to claim the fortune he believes should have been his and devises a lethal plan to eliminate the relatives who stand between him and the estate.

The relationship sets off a chain of increasingly disorienting events, pushing Estelle to question what is real as her personal and professional worlds begin to unravel.

Written and directed by Swab and produced by Jeremy M. Rosen, the film explores the human cost and complexity of America’s opioid crisis through intersecting lives across law enforcement, organized crime, and addiction.
