Oh yes there definitely is! Shudder has revealed the full official trailer for the film titled Nightborn, made by Finnish genre filmmaker Hanna Bergholm. It's her second film after the super creepy Hatching a few years back. Nightborn premiered at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year to mostly good reviews, and it's also playing at the Fantasia Film Festival later this month before it's streaming on Shudder to watch. In Finnish forest, Saga and her husband Jon embark on a new chapter as parents. But Saga's joy is overshadowed by a chilling suspicion about their newborn baby. Unbeknownst to Jon, the new child begins causing a rift as she alone grapples with the disturbing truth. Is this thing evil?! Is it a demon baby?! You'll have to watch to find out. Starring Seidi Haarla as Saga & Rupert Grint as Jon, the new parents, along with Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey, & John Thomson. This film is super freaky! This ain't some nuanced "what is the baby up to" it's full-on frightening, evil, unsettling newborn mania. I've seen this and it still haunts me! Especially the way this thing just screams so viciously. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-trailer-for-legal-thriller-prosecution-about-germanys-far-right/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-trailer-for-legal-thriller-prosecution-about-germanys-far-right/#disqus_thread Thu, 02 Jul 2026 20:59:43 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=796283 "Why do you not trust your own department?" Screen has revealed the first official trailer for an acclaimed German indie film titled Prosecution, a legal thriller about the far-right & racism in Germany. Also titled Staatsschutz in German, the film premiered at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, obviously, to mostly good reviews. I'm a big fan of this one – I called it a "Lean, Mean, Gripping Legal Thriller" in my review. Prosecution follows Seyo Kim, a German public prosecutor, who is determined to confront far-right violence in eastern Germany with the resources of the state. But when she survives a racist attack on her own life, Seyo takes matters into her own hands – putting her life further at risk. She goes full-on trying to bring down a far-right neo-Nazi network, only to discover it isn't so easy in Germany's so called "objective" legal system. Throughout the trial, Seyo learns firsthand what it means to entrust the pursuit of justice to a state that applies double standards and not only downplays far-right violence, but at times even protects it. It's a fascinating look at just how unfair the law can be. The film stars Chen Emilie Yan as Seyo, Julia Jentsch, Alev Irmak, Arnd Klawitter, and Sebastian Urzendowsky. It can be a bit melodramatic but to good effect and to make a very powerful point. I highly recommend catching this one if it plays near you. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-4k-blu-ray-trailer-for-japanese-classic-the-boxer-from-1977/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-4k-blu-ray-trailer-for-japanese-classic-the-boxer-from-1977/#disqus_thread Thu, 02 Jul 2026 19:03:21 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=796257 "Becoming a boxer isn't easy. Can you hate people?" "I can!" 🥊 🇯🇵 Radiance Films has revealed their new modern trailer for the new Blu-ray re-release of the "lost" 1977 Japanese sports movie classic The Boxer, arriving to own later this month. A 70s classic about a boxer, made just one year after Rocky first debuted in the US in 1976. Reviews state it "will stay with you for all the right reasons... A worthy contender for the title of 'Best boxing movie ever made.'" A young ambitious boxer named Tenma accidentally kills an ex-boxing champion's brother. He then approaches the ex-champ to train him to become the next champion. Starring Bunta Sugawara and Kentarô Shimizu. This fresh new HD upgrade features new and improved English subtitle translation, an essay, a Toei video, and more. I like this synopsis for it much more: In the midst of a match, a successful boxer - Hayato, has had enough of the sport. He lets himself get knocked, quits boxing, leaving his wife and start living alone with his mangy dog. One day a young mediocre boxer knocks at the door and wants to be Hayato's apprentice. The cinematography in this by DP Tatsuo Suzuki is spectacular. So many dynamic shots, so much vivid color, it's awesome. Well now I have to see this!

VVS Films revealed the full official trailer for an action thriller movie titled Runner, set in Brisbane, Australia – which gets featured prominently as the city this takes place in. Angel Studios is releasing this in the US in September as well (here's their teaser), though this trailer is from Canada where it's also opening on the smae day. A former soldier is thrown into a race against time as a medical delivery makes him the prime target of a ruthless cartel. Set down in Australia, a high-end courier has three hours to transport a liver from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. He comes under attack and will do anything to make sure it's delivered safely to a young girl. This "buddy comedy" action movie stars Alan Ritchson (also seen in this summer's Motor City) as Hank Malone and Owen Wilson as Ben Bishop. The full cast also includes Rodrigo Santoro, Leila George, Adriana Barraza, Sullivan Stapleton, Peta Sergeant, Geraldine Hakewill, and Goran D. Kleut. This looks like it should be entertaining. This trailer plays up the goofy comedy more than the first teaser. Ritchson looks like he's giving it his all filming this, Wilson not so much. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/zany-fun-trailer-for-mum-im-alien-pregnant-gross-horror-comedy/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/zany-fun-trailer-for-mum-im-alien-pregnant-gross-horror-comedy/#disqus_thread Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:32:00 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=796183 "A gooey little sci-fi miracle."

Umbrella Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror comedy Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant, an amusing New Zealand creation about a young woman who gets pregnant... with an alien. This premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year playing in the Midnight section there. It's the creation of the New Zealand filmmaking duo called "Thunderlips", best known for their eccentric music videos & short films, serving up their first feature film. A messy millennial underachiever accidentally becomes alien-pregnant and must contend with skeptical doctors, a useless baby daddy, and her oversharing mother in order to survive & reclaim her life. Starring Hannah Lynch as Mary, Yvette Parsons as her mum Cynthia, Arlo Green as Boo, and Jackie van Beek as Ann. A tale of girl-meets-alien-boy and the body horror of pregnancy. Mary contends with her changing body; the unborn alien inside her; and her mum... finally reconciling all three in a slimy climax. I've seen this at Sundance (my full review) and it's pretty good, especially wacky & weird, and very gross. An entirely original modern comedy. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-trailer-for-frances-epic-new-les-miserables-movie/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-trailer-for-frances-epic-new-les-miserables-movie/#disqus_thread Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:32:19 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=796193 "By wanting too much order... you bring on chaos."

Dark Star Pictures has revealed the official trailer for an indie horror film titled The Leaching, marking the feature debut of filmmaker Evan Showalter. This is heading straight to VOD this summer and doesn't look that exciting, unless watching this strange giant leech creature thing sounds like a fun night at the movies. After waking up on her father's isolated forest property with amnesia, Vivian must use her limited memory to piece together the nightmarish truth, all the while being tormented by the undead, a giant leech monster, and her "father." The film stars Reese Parish as Vivian, DeVaughn Loman, Sandon Sylva, and Dylan Obrochta as The Leech creature. The director explains more: "The Leaching is an exploration of faith, the loss of self, and the monsters (literally) that emerge when people surrender themselves to something greater than they can understand. It's an isolating horror film that plays with a very uncomfortable question: Can you trust your family?" So the answer is obviously: no.

Does anyone know what the color of television tuned to a dead channel even looks like anymore? Either way, it's finally time... This is an obvious hint that we're going to get an actual first look teaser trailer soon. Apple TV has revealed a quick 20 second video on their social media channels this week for the Neuromancer series. The video shows an old Ashpool 1 computer booting up with that quote and that's about it. The post comes with the intro: "42 years ago, William Gibson introduced the world to Neuromancer. Now, the next chapter is loading." The reference is to Tessier-Ashpool (or T-A) in the book – a fictional family corporation. This seems to be an old Ashpool 1 computer booting up, similar to the Apple 1 computer, the very first Apple computer ever made in 1976. In the series, a hacker & assassin are thrust into a web of high-stakes crime as they take aim at a corporate dynasty. The sci-fi series stars Callum Turner as Case, a data-thief, Briana Middleton as Molly, a street-samurai, with Joseph Lee as Hideo, Mark Strong as Armitage, Clémence Poésy, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Laird, plus Max Irons and Dane DeHaan.

This first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it earned rave reviews, especially for lead actor Will Poulter turning in a remarkably nuanced, powerful performance. Based on the opioid epidemic. Assigned to a county-mandated drug court program, Cody embarks on the tenuous journey toward recovery amidst the drug crisis in rural Ohio, provided some hope through this innovative rehab program. It was filmed in a real drug court and a lot of the supporting cast (including Annette Deao) were non-actors who were working the program itself. Starring Will Poulter as Cody Parsons, Noah Centineo as Jack Parsons, along with Elise Kibler, Emily Meade, and Annette Deao. Oscope adds: "Ohio-born filmmaker Adam Meeks creates a film imbued with realism for an honest, compassionate portrait of a battle being fought across America and the solidarity that flowers on its front lines."

Jay Baruchel stars as Ken Carter, with Ben Foster as his American rival Evel Knievel, Ed Helms as Dick Keller, plus Laurence Leboeuf, Dan Bakkedahl, Joe Cobden, and Marc Beaupré.

When the king calls on them to unravel the mysteries within the palace, they’re drawn into a world where power, hidden histories, and restless spirits are bound together by a dangerous curse.
