Officer John Dardin has a problem. He’s recently been suspended and facing a police brutality accusation after breaking the arm of a young street vandal. Angry, fed up and forced to lay low until the situation cools, John travels to his parent’s vacation cabin to relax. The same cabin where, as luck would have it, horror film director Noel Campbell and a small independent film crew are making a Satanic themed horror movie in the house next door. Unfortunately for Noel and his crew, John is convinced they are actually Satanists and, in ultra-violent form, will stop at nothing to send them straight to hell.

Directed by James L. Edwards (“Her Name Was Christa”) and produced by Rick Popko (“Monsturd”), “Satan’s Peak” features a literal who’s who of indie cinema talents including Adam Scott Clevenger (“People To Kill”), Drew Fortier (“Side Effects May Vary”), Alicia Spurlock (“Hell Van”), Douglas Esper (“Trivial”), Floyd Ewing Jr. (“The Dead Next Door”), Morrigan Milam (“Debbie Does Demons”), Tim Novotny (“The Beast of Walton Street”), Shianne Daye (“Brimstone Incorporated”) and Rick Jermain (“Crackcoon”).

Breaking Glass Pictures is proud to announce the upcoming release of the psychological horror feature MOUSER, arriving July 14, 2026 across Amazon, Fandango, Dish, iNDEMAND, and additional VOD platforms.

Blurring the line between hallucination and reality, MOUSER follows Eleanor, a mentally unstable young woman struggling to maintain control after a night out triggers a disturbing psychological spiral. When she begins experiencing vivid encounters with a sinister talking cat named Mouser, her perception of reality quickly unravels—pulling her into a surreal and increasingly violent descent where nothing can be trusted.

Written and directed by Mary Gallagher, the film stars Romina Valenti (Eleanor), Gavin O’Fearraigh (Ian), Stephen Moeller (Mouser), Michel Biel, Anastasia Lutz, Emma Cat, Maria Abreu, Chris Fisher, David Singleton, and Eugene Gallagher.

The film explores themes of psychological breakdown, paranoia, hallucination, and identity fracture through a surreal horror lens, blending dream logic with escalating tension and psychological dread.

“I wanted to explore how fear and unresolved trauma can influence our choices. Mouser suggests that our greatest struggles are often internal, and I hope audiences leave questioning how fear can distort and control our lives.” Says Mary Gallagher

As Eleanor’s night spirals further out of control, she finds herself trapped between waking life and hallucination, as Mouser begins to influence her actions in increasingly disturbing ways. As reality fractures completely, the line between delusion and truth disappears—culminating in a shocking confrontation that may not be the end of her nightmare.

“MOUSER is exactly the kind of bold, unsettling independent filmmaking we champion at Breaking Glass Pictures,” said Rich Wolff, CEO of Breaking Glass Pictures. “Mary Gallagher delivers a fearless psychological horror experience that pulls audiences deep into a fractured reality and doesn’t let go. It’s surreal, provocative, and unforgettable—everything great genre cinema should be.”

Breaking Glass Pictures continues its commitment to bold independent genre storytelling with MOUSER, a chilling new entry in psychological horror that challenges perception and reality.

Festivals & Awards:
MOUSER is an Official Selection of the Indie Vegas Film Festival and received the award for Best Original Screenplay (Feature Film) at the Marina del Rey Film Festival.
The film also celebrated a well-attended red carpet screening on June 21 at the Lumiere Theater in Beverly Hills as part of the Marina del Rey Film Festival programming, drawing strong audience engagement ahead of its upcoming VOD release.

Vortex has announced the official US digital release of the sci-fi mystery thriller Lars Shrike Walks the Night, distributed by Filmhub. Starring six-time Emmy Award–winning actor Kelsey Grammer (“Cheers”, “Frasier”) in the title role, Lars Shrike Walks the Night debuts on digital platforms July 24. The indie sci-fi bender world premiered at the Lone Star Film Festival, where writer/director Gary Walkow took home the award for Best Feature Film.

Lars Shrike Walks the Night is the latest in Walkow’s loosely connected universe, picking up the story that began in 1987 with the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner The Trouble with Dick. David Clennon starred as Lars and returns to the franchise as Richard Kendred in the newest film. The story continued with 2007’s Crashing and 2015’s The Trouble with Dot & Harry.

In addition to Grammer and Clennon (“Thirtysomething”, The Thing), Lars Shrike Walks the Night stars Christine Lin (“Surfside Girls”) and Kati Schwartz (the upcoming The Adventures of Cliff Booth).

Starting July 24, audiences will be able to rent or own Lars Shrike Walks the Night on Digital HD, including Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home.

Ahead of the streaming debut, Walkow shared, “My science fiction thriller is about the terrors and thrills of existence. Lars Shrike escapes from a prison planet – or does he? Is Lars Shrike delusional, an amnesiac, or from outer space? I want viewers to experience the mystery and drama of Lars’ slippery, confounding existence.”

Lars Shrike knows only two things: his name, and that he has escaped. Alone in a hostile desert landscape, he struggles to piece together who he is, where he came from, and what exactly he has fled. As fragments of memory, hallucination, and reality begin to blur, Shrike is pulled into an increasingly strange odyssey where every answer only deepens the mystery. Is he a prisoner on the run, a damaged mind inventing its own mythology, or a fictional character who has somehow stepped into the real world?

Welcome to the brave, new world of music, performance art, and cinema that is Samantha Harlow’s new project, By A Thread. Or rather, meet Veronica LaMorte, a dreamy-eyed lounge singer, murdered and then rebuilt by her mad scientist husband. Don’t worry, no spoilers here!

As a collection of songs alone, Harlow’s By A Thread, produced by Grammy-nominated, Dex Green, sonically leans into mid-century pop/rock n roll somewhere in the orbit of The Ronnettes and Nancy Sinatra. “I wanted to stretch out beyond Nashville country, and felt more drawn to the sounds of 60s girl groups, beach pop and surf sounds,” says Harlow.

But it wasn’t until the album was fully tracked at 3Sirens Studio in Nashville, that Harlow had a broader vision to create a companion short film series, where she stars as Veronica LaMorte, and takes inspiration from filmmakers like Ed Wood and Mel Brooks. The result is a Song Cinema collection exploring horror, humor, vulnerability and not being bound by societal norms.

Make no mistake, midwestern Harlow, raised in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, is no typical “girl-next-door.” She may have spent Sunday mornings singing in church alongside a large extended family, but on other days found fascination with 80s hair metal and the oldies station. “I wanted to be Steven Tyler,” says Harlow. An artsy kid that enjoyed dressing up, Harlow went on to study classical and jazz vocal performance in college, followed by an intensive program at Martha’s Vineyard for songwriting and recording.

She then moved to Nashville, found disenchanting work at a mattress factory, until one day walked into the legendary honky-tonk, Robert’s Western World and asked for a bartending job. Harlow says this is where her Nashville music education began and grew into working with some of Music City’s finest musicians.

Harlow is no stranger to transforming into a character to match her songwriting and vocals. Her latest solo work follows nine years as the alt-country/punk rock lead singer for The Bad Signs, where she frequently expressed herself with bold makeup, wardrobe and performance. Upon hearing about the new concept of Song Cinemas, created by the East Nashville art house, Little Hollywood Creative, Harlow was drawn more to the idea of making short films to bring her new music alive, rather than traditional music videos.

Collaborating with director/cinematographer, Scot Sax (Little Hollywood Creative), By A Thread became the musical palette for a collection of eight videos that follow the outrageous story of Veronica LaMorte’s transition from woman to monster (makeup created by Emmy-award winning makeup artist, Melanie Mills). Initially, the goal was to make one Song Cinema featuring tracks “Fingertips,” “Ready to Run” and “Little Landmines.” However, after completing the first short film, Harlow knew there was more to the story to tell and many more layers of humanity beneath the characters created in By A Thread. Where there’s humor in the story, there are also moments of tenderness, vulnerability, nostalgia and learning to love our true selves. The opening line of track one, “I wish I wore my heart on my Fingertips,” on By A Thread not only sets the stage for the story of Veronica, but lyrically is just the beginning of an project of songs all about overcoming our fears.

The series additionally features notable artists from the East Nashville music scene, such as guitarist, Irakli Gabriel, in the role of Simon St. Vein, the mentally disturbed scientist who builds the monster version of Veronica. One of the projects’ most intriguing qualities is the relationship of Veronica and Simon, and in the end the unavoidable empathy and love for even the villain in the story.

The By A Thread film series premiered to a packed house at the Hubba Hubba Tiki-Tonk in East Nashville, featuring a breathtaking solo performance of songs by Harlow in character as Veronica. An additional screening took place at the Mule Kick Records/Little Hollywood Creative AmericanaFest Official Rock n Roll Brunch at Love & Exile.

The sixth song from the series, “I Gotta Go” will release on July 22nd.

Following an impressive film festival run, filmmaker Joe Pellegrino’s surreal psychological horror short, Nymphal, is now available to stream for free worldwide on YouTube.

Nymphal plunges viewers into a pressure cooker of escalating dread within a secluded rural setting. The film follows a man and his daughter trapped in their trailer backyard, forced to navigate local murder mysteries, their own fractured relationship, and an aggressive, encroaching wall of bamboo. As the deafening, omnipresent song of cicadas builds to a crescendo, it heralds the characters’ bizarre ultimate fate

Before arriving on YouTube, Nymphal left a distinct mark on the global independent genre circuit by capturing several major international accolades. Filmmaker Joe Pellegrino captains the ship of a dedicated cast and crew, guiding the film to success in the United States by winning Best Short and earning a Best Sound nomination at the BizarroLand Film Fest in Orlando, Florida, while also securing Best SFX honors at the Stranger Days Independent Film Fest in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its acclaim extended to Atlanta, Georgia, where it was nominated for Best Music and the unique WTF Short category at the Buried Alive Film Fest. Globally, Nymphal resonated with international audiences in Tokyo, Japan, taking home both Best Director and Best Music awards at the Bloodstained Indie Film Fest. Audiences can look forward to the future, as more amazing work is coming soon from Joe and his entire production team.

Stairs, the critically acclaimed short horror film from writer-director Michael Kuciak, has been officially selected as one of the launch titles for the newly debuted streaming platform, HorrorHound TV.

The film is available to stream immediately for free. Audiences can view the movie directly on the official platform page: https://horrorhound.com/tv/stairs

Stairs delivers a chilling, claustrophobic narrative centered on an everyday task turned nightmare. The film’s synopsis sets the stage:

“A woman is doing laundry on a quiet night. But as she takes her basket back up to her apartment, she realizes the stairs eternally repeats as she ascends, like an Escher painting. She tries to escape this strange situation, to no avail; the doors are locked, and descending produces the same eternal result.”

The short serves as a terrifying proof-of-concept for an upcoming feature-length adaptation currently in development. Director Michael Kuciak utilizes the growing subgenre of “liminal horror” to tap into deep-seated subconscious fears.

“I’m deeply honored to have Stairs be a part of HorrorHound TV’s launch,” said Kuciak. “Stairs is a short proof-of-concept for a feature version I’m working to get made. It’s very much in the vein of a ‘liminal horror’ project, in the same tradition as films like Backrooms and, more tangentially, Skinamarink, in the sense that a seemingly normal space suddenly becomes frightening.”

Cult director Shinya Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo trilogy comes full-circle with Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. The Limited Collector’s Edition is available on July 14th from Unearthed Films.

When his young son is killed, Anthony begins a violent and bizarre metamorphosis, his flesh transforming into metal, his body expressing his repressed rage and lust for revenge.

From the crowdfunding campaign:

The screenplay was written by cult filmmaker Jon Killough (SKINNED ALIVE), the creature effects are being created by legendary stop-motion animator Brett Piper (CLASS OF NUKE ‘EM HIGH 2: SUBHUMANOID MELTDOWN) and splatter master Eve Mencke (FRACTURED) handled the blood and gore effects. The film stars Rosaria Eraso (CRACKCOON), Tim Hale (KILLER CAMPOUT PART II), Chad Critelli (CRACULA), Fred Munkachy (REVENGE OF THE SPACE MEN), Rick Jermain (SHRIEKSHOW), Kristina Santiago (OMBIS ALIEN INVASION 2), and Floyd Ewing Jr. (THE DEAD NEXT DOOR).

Synopsis: A deadly, skeletal secret has been buried in the fields of Irvington for hundreds of years. Unearthed by paleontologists from the local college, these fossils don’t belong to any ordinary dinosaur; they are the remains of an ancient reptilian creature that terrorized the Native Americans long before the white man set foot in this “new” world. The beast is awakened when it’s crumbling bones are soaked in blood, it’s spirit possessing the pompous Professor Bellinger. Only Enola Moon, a troubled young woman with Native blood, guided by the tribal tales of her grandfather, knows the carnage that is to come to Irvington. Her doubting sister, Kima, struggles with her own demons of superstition versus heritage. Along with her boyfriend, Sean, and his dim-witted, douche bag best friend, Jay, Kima must confront her doubts to destroy the monster that clawed its way out of Hell.

When I was in high school I had a friend that was really into Cradle of Filth. I couldn’t get into their music but it wasn’t without giving them several tries. Anyway, that same friend was a huge genre fan and was telling me about a British horror film that starred Dani Filth. I found that pretty interesting at the time and was able to snag a copy of the DVD super fucking cheap from eBay.

Sadly, I didn’t care for the film at the time and over the years I completely forgot about it. A few weeks ago I was sent a copy of Unearthed Film’s release of the film on blu for review. Honestly, I don’t remember a damn thing about the film aside from Dani Filth starring in it. I decided to revisit it with this release and I would like to thank Unearthed for sending this one over for review.

**Spoiler ALert** The film follows the unexpected spirals of several people with one unknown connection. We follow a detective investigating a string of brutal murders. A young woman hooks up with a goth guy at a club and soon discovers that she is carrying his child and can see visions of demons. The detective’s son works for an internet company who finds himself becoming obsessed with snuff films. A amputee finds a leg and has it sewn back on with unexpected results. Two women break into a home to steal some cash where they are confronted by the owner resulting in a bloodbath. **Spoiler Alert**

I went into this viewing with an open mind because I absolutely hate giving a movie sent my way for a review a negative score. I didn’t remember a lot about my initial viewing of the film except I wasn’t really a fan at the time but I had hoped that the film would sit with me a second time. Sadly, that wasn’t the case and I found myself not enjoying it the second time around.

The acting in this one is extremely stiff and flat. Most of the cast delivers their dialogue with little to no conviction. We have no emotional range and most of the dialogue delivery is extremely awkward to watch. It’s almost as if we are watching a high school play for most of the film. There is a few scenes where we get some decent enough performances but not enough to make up for the akward ones.

The story for this one looks great on paper but wasn’t executed that well. I like the idea of all these people and the suffering they encounter is connected to a serial killer. However, the film itself jumps from person to person which can be a bit confusing at times. I wish the film was shot like a typical anthology as to make it easier to watch.

Finally, the film doesn’t shy away from the blood and there is a few moments that try to be shocking but does not have the impact they wanted. While they effects look decent, they are not that memorable. Overall, Cradle of Fear has a fantastic idea but the way they went about it made it a bit difficult to finish. I seriously wanted to like this one but it’s not for me.
