SICK PUPPY
A Darkly Comic Thriller That Turns Love
Into a Dangerous Obsession
Written and Directed by Jay Reid
Coming to Select Theaters & Digital on May 22nd
from Dark Sky Films
Dark Sky Films brings Sick Puppy to theaters and VOD. A twisted, darkly comedic character study that flips the serial killer genre by focusing not on the killer, but on the woman who loves him will be available on May 22, 2026. Charlie is determined to reform her murderous husband, convincing him to trade violence for pottery in a desperate attempt at a normal life. But as denial, devotion, and buried instincts collide, her efforts spiral into something even more disturbing. Blending unsettling humor with emotional depth, the film explores how far someone will go for love—and the terrifying cost of excusing the unthinkable.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
Charlie loves her husband John, even though he is a serial killer. She's been trying to get him to quit for years. When he finally does quit to protect her, she's thrilled, but the police soon show up and threaten to upend their new suburban life. Soon Charlie must do whatever she can to keep them off their trail. All while making sure John stays on the straight and narrow.

Stardate 05.08.2026.F: Now Streaming: Tongue In Cheek Found Footage 'Strawstalker' (2026) on VOD Now
press release
Dark Atlantic Brings STRAWSTALKER to Nightmare Reality
A New House Brings More than a Couple Bargained For
Over the Top Found Footage Now Streaming
Los Angeles, CA--Dark Atlantic is proud to announce the North American digital release of Strawstalker, the latest horror feature from writer/director George Henry Horton (Dark Obsession, Project Dorothy). This campy new addition to the found footage canon follows a fame hungry couple who move into an ideal LA home, only to have their new dream life spiral into a nightmare at the straw hands of a supernatural scarecrow. Strawstalker is now available on VOD from Indie Rights.
Horton also headlines as one half of the curated couple of liars, alongside Branika Scott, Vincent Ranola, Dallas Steinback, Emily Rafala and Gary Kasper. Horton produced Strawstalker with his longtime creative partner Ryan Scaringe (Send a Scare, The Djinn).
With the film and its titular monster unleashed on the world, Horton shared "I’ve always felt that scarecrows don’t get enough love. They’re inherently creepy, but also a little theatrical, which felt perfect for something that could be both unsettling and fun. We wanted to embrace that balance. It’s a film that plays with fear, but also with the absurdity of it all. There’s a campfire quality to it. Strawstalker knows what it is, and it invites the audience in on the campy ride."
Audiences across North America can now rent or own Strawstalker on Digital HD, including Prime Video.
Henry and Haley are a rising content creator couple who’ve just moved into Oak Bridge, a Los Angeles neighborhood marketed as the safest place to live. They’re ready to film every ‘spontaneous’ moment of their new life, unaware that Oak Bridge isn't interested in being part of their brand. In this neighborhood, the silence is intentional, and the perfection is a performance. When a theatrical scarecrow appears behind their backyard hedge, Henry - a man whose life is a carefully crafted lie - assumes it’s a viral prank. Haley, the ‘true’ heart of the pair who often finds herself going along with Henry's nonsense, keeps the camera rolling. Then the footage changes. A local warns them that the creature hunts those who aren't what they seem. In Oak Bridge, the land has a long memory, the neighbors are always watching, and the camera never stops rolling.

NAVIGATING GRIEF, WITCHCRAFT, AND
THE POWER OF FEMALE FRIENDSHIP
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY AVALON FAST
IN THEATERS JUNE 26TH
Winner - Fantastic Fest "Next Wave" Award 2025
Official Selection - BeyondFest 2026
Official Selection - Sitges 2025
Official Selection - Brooklyn Horror 2025
Official Selection - Outfest 2025
Dark Sky Films proudly announces the June 26th theatrical release of festival favorite CAMP, a new horror/thriller feature from writer-director Avalon Fast (Honeycomb).
CAMP follows Emily, a young woman haunted by a traumatic past, who finds solace as a camp counselor while navigating grief, witchcraft, and the power of female friendship. The film stars Zola Grimmer, Alice Wordsworth and Cherry Moore. Written and directed by Avalon Fast, the film is produced by Taylor Nodrick, Jacob Glickman, Jackie De Niverville, Martin Cadieux-Rouillard.
Official synopsis:
Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life, and she feels the weight of these accidents as though cursed. At her father’s suggestion, she takes a position at a summer camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt. When Emily arrives, she is welcomed by the other counselors, who accept her as she is and surround her with peace and forgiveness. Just as Emily begins to believe in a new kind of life, she starts to hear a voice whispering from deep in the woods — one that urges her to go home, and one that may be impossible to ignore.
About the director:
Avalon Fast hails from Vancouver Island, BC. In 2019, she shot her first film, Honeycomb, which was selected for the 2022 Slamdance Film Festival and went on to screen at Boston Underground, Calgary Underground, Etheria LA, Fantasia, and many more. Avalon refers to her unique style of filmmaking as GIRL HORROR, a term that reflects her focus on the eerie horrors of growing up, particularly with female influence
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING...
"a dizzying, unnerving examination of the strength and power that women can use to uplift each other, even if someone else must pay the price for their hedonistic escapism" -Projected Figures
"a punk-rock masterpiece...fast elicits the type of fearlessness few directors ever posses, shocking us with contrasting imagery of witchy vengeance through pitch-perfect irony that is sure to cause a divisive reaction between camps" -25YL
"CAMP becomes something more like "The Virgin Suicides" using amorphous elements like grief and mourning as storytelling tools instead of easy answers" -RogerEbert.com

On this day in 1984 (in the U.S.), the good people of Westwood, California were treated to the big screen cinematic premiere of Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom. Written by George Lucas, Willard Huyck, and Gloria Katz, the second installment in the saga of Indiana Jones was directed by Steven Spielberg with Harrison Ford returning while bringing actress Kate Capshaw and Ke Huy Quan to the adventure.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"In 1935, Indiana Jones arrives in India, still part of the British Empire, and is asked to find a mystical stone. He then stumbles upon a secret cult committing enslavement and human sacrifices in the catacombs of an ancient palace."
For the record:
The blockbuster film also scored a bit of praise from the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Science awarded it the Oscar in the category of 'Best Effects, Visual Effects.' Alas, John Williams' score had to settle for nomination only in the category of 'Best Music, Original Score.'

According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Freedom fighters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation."
For the record:
As can happen with the world of big budget sequels, The Matrix Reloaded kinda/sorta reshaped how audiences thought of the original when the story kinda/sorta went in a slightly different direction. As one can imagine, critical and commercial reactions were a bit split, and this also affected how well the flick was received during awards season.
