Yara came to Paris to build a new life. Instead, she found something waiting for her. Confined to her apartment for months, the young Moroccan student is trapped between the walls of her own making — agoraphobic, isolated, and haunted. Fragments of a painful past bleed into waking nightmares. Then one evening, a mysterious apparition appears, and what little grip she has on reality begins to slip. As the visions grow darker and more relentless, Yara is pushed to the edge of madness — forced to confront something ancient, terrifying, and inescapable.

Furious and desperate, they plot a revenge-fueled take down of the hacker, determined to make him pay for every life he's destroyed.

Follows Ellie (Rothe), who is stuck in a cyclical nightmare. Grappling with a condition that erratically resets her memory, she’s left unable to remember her husband (Cross) or daughter (Julianna Layne). Each reset leaves her disoriented and haunted with vivid memories of a life she’s never lived.

CHUM
FRIDAY - JUNE 5th (VOD)(Limited)

SCARY MOVIE
FRIDAY - JUNE 5th (Theaters)

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. ​Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.

THE SUMMONING
FRIDAY - JUNE 5th (VOD)

Based on a legendary creepypasta, the film revolves around a terrifying bathroom ritual in which a girl must tell a ghost story in front of the mirror to summon the spirit of “Baby Blue.” This chilling premise unfolds into a series of short, spine-tingling tales that build tension and expand the mythology. Through the flickering lights of a haunted bathroom mirror and the whispered chant of “Baby Blue, Blue Baby,” a babysitting gig turns into a nightmarish summoning—where survival depends on confronting the past and escaping a mother’s wrath from beyond the grave.
