This short film originally debuted back in 2017, but was recently reposted by National Geographic on their channel and it's a breathtaking must watch. Directed and shot by cinematographer Macgregor, the 13-min film is titled The Mauritania Railway - Backbone of the Sahara. "One of the longest and heaviest trains in the world, the 1.8-mile beast runs from the mining center of Zouerat to port city of Nouadhibou on Africa’s Atlantic coast. The train is the bedrock of the Mauritanian economy and a lifeline to the outside world for the people who live along its route." The best "holy shit" shot is at 6:08. This video also adds an especially fascinating context to the outstanding film Sirat, which premiered to rave reviews at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival this year (here's mine). Once you've seen the film you'll understand how it all connects. View below. Thanks to National Geographic for reposting this.

"The sight of your Fetch is an omen for coming death." Vertical has debuted the official trailer for an Irish folklore horror thriller film titled The Twin, which comes across more like a doppelganger psychological thriller than just horror. This first premiered at the 2024 Austin Film Festival and won the Audience Award from Dark Matters. "After such a long journey, I'm incredibly proud to finally share The Twin with horror audiences everywhere. It's a story about the things we try to bury that somehow find a way to dig themselves out." Following the death of his only son, a grieving father is haunted by a terrifying demon known in Irish folklore as the Fetch. He begins experiencing terrifying visions of a shadowy figure that looks like himself. Featuring a "haunted and physically impressive performance" from Logan Donovan as Nicholas (and also playing his shadowy figure). Also starring Robert Longstreet, Aleksa Palladino, Shannon Cochran, Tucker Grumbles, & Tripp Toupal. Looks creepy but still just another cliche story about grief as horror.

"Will the doctor come today?" Vertigo Releasing has debuted an official trailer for the Swiss film titled Late Shift, opening in theaters later this year. One of the best films I've seen this year - made by acclaimed Swiss filmmaker Petra Volpe. The original German title is Heldin, which actually translates to Heroine (a female hero), but they're not using this title for its international release. Late Shift originally premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year (here's my full review). German actress Leonie Benesch (seen in The Teacher's Lounge and September 5) stars as Floria, a dedicated nurse, tirelessly working in an understaffed surgical hospital ward. On this day her shift becomes a tense and urgent race against the clock. According to the WHO, the worldwide shortage of nursing staff is a global health risk. The film is both a respectful tribute to all care workers and a gripping plea for more humanity & social commitment. Last but not least, it shows how essential good care in the event of illness is for us all. Lead actress Leonie Benesch impresses with her powerful and captivating performance, which will leave everyone in awe of her emotion. Highly recommend […]

"We are in a fight against evil." A24 has revealed one final official trailer for Ari Aster's Eddington, set to crash into theaters this July. Ready to watch them fight? This premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews - some love it, some hate it, most were right in the middle on it. The film features Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Amélie Hoeferle, William Belleau, plus Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only short synopsis: In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in the small town of Eddington, NM. This is sort of a pandemic movie but it's mainly about how the Covid-19 pandemic broke the minds of many Americans, showing the downfall of many people in this one tiny town. Led by the Sheriff who goes crazy while in a feud with the local Mayor. I'm not a big fan of Eddington - I think it's a bit of a mess with a mixed message that doesn't hit hard enough. Although this trailer does make it look like a damn good movie with […]

This lively doc charts the life, loves, and career hits and misses of this spunky perfectionist, who forever changed the face of children's television.

This is a fantastic doc trailer that really sells this film, I'm convinced to watch it now. This look like a heartfelt and inspiring story in so many unique ways. Even if you're not familiar with her or Lamb Chop already, still looks like it's worth a watch. Opens […]
