‘Killer Whale’ Exclusive Clip Strands Survivors With Vengeful Orca
A pizza floatie becomes a life raft in our exclusive new clip from aquatic survival thriller Killer Whale.
Lionsgate’s Killer Whale swims into theaters, Digital, and VOD on January 16, 2026.
In the film, “After a life-shattering tragedy, Trish tries to comfort her best friend, Maddie, by taking her on a spectacular adventure in a private lagoon halfway across the world. Their peaceful retreat soon becomes a terrifying fight to stay alive when the ocean’s most bloodthirsty predator seeks vengeance for a brutal life in captivity.”
The upcoming aquatic horror movie Killer Whale has been rated “R” by the MPAA for “some violent content, bloody/grisly images, language, and brief drug use.”
Jo-Anne Brechin (Designing Christmas With You) directs from a script co-written with Katharine E. McPhee. Producers include Lionel Hicks, Steve Jaggi, and Kylie Pascoe.
Halloween 2018 and Fall actor Virginia Gardner, Mel Jarnson, and Mitchell Hope star.
The clip below appears to set up the survival scenario, in which a day of beachy fun leaves at least two people stranded on a flimsy pool floatie as a vengeful predator circles. In this case, it’s not a CGI shark but one angry orca.
Look for Killer Whale next week.

‘The Space Between’ Exclusive Teaser Trailer – Damian Maffei Stars in Indie Liminal Horror Movie
Liminal horror is all the rage right now in the wake of A24’s Backrooms dominating the box office, and up next from the sub-genre is the indie film The Space Between.
We recently told you that The Space Between had wrapped production inside an operational Midwestern mall, and now we’re exclusively debuting the teaser trailer today.
Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night, Wrong Turn, Haunt) stars in The Space Between. Watch the teaser trailer below, and also find the official poster underneath.
Maffei plays Rick, an overnight security guard working inside a once-bustling shopping mall after closing. While quietly carrying the grief of losing his daughter, Rick clings to the structure of his nightly routine as a form of stability. Over the course of a single shift, that routine begins to fracture as something unseen retraces his every step.
Kate Kiddo (Black Eyed Susan, The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom) co-stars in the liminal horror movie as Dispatch, Rick’s only point of contact during the night. She is a calm and steady voice guiding him through his rounds as the system he relies on begins to break down.
Production took place inside an operational Midwestern mall, utilizing real locations after hours to ground the film’s surveillance-driven psychological horror and liminal atmosphere. Built through a lean independent model, the production focused on performance, practical environments, and atmosphere.
Filmmakers were granted unlimited access to more than 96,000 square feet of retail, corridor, and back-of-house space for critical sequences, allowing the production to capture the scale, emptiness, and unsettling realism of a functioning mall after dark.
Writer/director Joshua Garity tells Bloody Disgusting, “The original image that helped define the internet’s idea of liminal horror was traced back to Wisconsin, and that matters because those are the kinds of spaces I grew up in. They were once the heartbeat of a community, but many of them have slowly eroded into something more unnerving. Half-empty malls that still echo with laughter, if you listen closely and strip away the fresh coats of paint. The Space Between comes from that same Midwestern familiarity. It’s not about recreating Backrooms, but about exploring why these spaces stay with you: the absence, the repetition, and the feeling that a place you know is somehow watching you back.”
The Space Between is targeting a Fall 2026 release. Stay tuned for updates.
