Unstoppable Killing Machine Unleashed in ‘Safehouse’
Award-winning writer/director Ryan Braund delivers an explosive, action-packed feature film debut with Safehouse, an independent British sci-fi/action thriller following four small-time criminals who are cornered into their hideout by the police after stealing a safe full of money. However, instead of arresting them, the police seize this opportunity to test a new weapon on them – an unstoppable killing machine.
Trapped within old, decaying warehouses in a remote part of town, these humble thugs are less than prepared for the onslaught of bullets, projectiles and other high-tech tricks this monster can throw at them. The lead, Karl, is determined to fight back against the unknown, despite risking never seeing his daughter again. One by one, our “lab rats” are caught in the crosshairs as the villainous law enforcement demonstrate what the robot can do.
The only things keeping the thieves alive are a police radio interceptor … and an arsenal of weapons.
Safehouse never lets go and drives up and up to an explosive ending with a dark twist. It stars Chris James, Harry Dyer, Eamon Yates, Barnaby Ferris, and Rob Shiels with voice acting from Mike Verker as the villain, Sergeant Williams, Miranda Gauvin as the Police Operator, and Kate Flynn as the Weapon Operator.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will 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.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
