Watch the First 10 Minutes of Underrated Sci-fi Horror Flick ‘Life’
“This is some Re-Animator shit.”
Ahead of the June 20th 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD release, Sony Pictures Entertainment has decided to whet your appetite by letting you watch the first 10 minutes of Life right here and now, free of charge. And you should, because it showcases a 5-minute single take sequence that kicks off the film in a way that immediately won me over when I saw it in the theater.
On the whole, Daniel Espinosa’s Life is a sci-fi/horror gem that deserves a much wider audience than it found in theaters. In many ways a love letter to the original Alien, Espinosa’s film is tense, vicious and oftentimes downright cruel and disturbing, introducing a brand new original monster that makes a damn good case for being the star of his own franchise. If you’re a fan of Alien and just generally miss original space horror films, I strongly recommend you check this one out.
In the meantime, watch the first 10 minutes below!
Directed by Daniel Espinosa, Life was written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick.
Life is an intense sci-fi thriller about a team of scientists aboard the International Space Station whose mission of discovery turns to one of primal fear when they find a rapidly evolving Life-form that caused extinction on Mars, and now threatens the crew and all Life on Earth.
Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson star.
Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, DVD & Digital Bonus Materials Include:
- Deleted Scenes
- Three Featurettes:
- “Claustrophobic Terror: Creating a Thriller in Space”
- “Life: In Zero G”
- “Creating Life: The Art and Reality of Calvin”

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
