Nicolas Cage takes charge when one of his sons doesn’t make it back by sunset in an exclusive new clip for upcoming creature feature Arcadian. The clock is ticking when the world has been invaded by creatures that hunt at night.
Arcadian arrives in theaters this Friday, April 12, 2024. After the film’s theatrical release, it’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later this year.

The creature feature has been rated “R” by the MPA for “Bloody images.”
Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven).
Jaeden Martell (It 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star in...

Billed as a “deep sea thriller,” Rlje Films is heading underwater with The Dive, which is coming to movie theaters and On Demand platforms on Friday, August 25, 2023.
While you wait, watch the official trailer for The Dive down delow.
“The movie stars Louisa Krause (“Billions”) and Sophie Lowe (“Medieval”) as sisters Drew and May.

Rlje Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, has acquired the North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand distribution rights to the psychological thriller Sympathy for the Devil, and will be giving the film a theatrical release on July 28th.
