Some films aim for polish. Some films aim for awards. The Master of the Flying Guillotine aims for straight for your fucking head.

Yeon Sang-ho is heading back into outbreak territory with Colony, and this time he’s ditching open chaos for something a lot more contained and a lot more nasty. With the film set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2026, it has been announced that Well Go USA has already lined up to bring it…

The Butcher’s Blade opens on corruption, betrayal, and a man with no clean way out. What follows is violence. Lots and lots of wonderful violence.

James Mark is back in the driver’s seat with Infiltrate, and this time it’s all gas, no brakes. Front and centre is Orphée Ladouceur-Nguyen, usually the one flipping through the air in stunt work, now stepping into the spotlight as the person causing the damage instead of just doubling it. She plays Agent Chen, dropped…
