Dimension Films’ ‘Polaroid’ Won’t Develop Over Thanksgiving Weekend
Unsurprisingly, The Weinstein Company/Dimension Films’ Polaroid has been pulled from its planned Thanksgiving weekend release. As Deadline notes, on Oct. 4, the day before the New York Times broke its expose on Harvey Weinstein’s history with sexual harassment, the studio dated the Lars Klevberg-directed horror film for Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 22. It will now target an undisclosed 2018 date after alleged rebranding.
The site also noticed last night at the Sherman Oaks Arclight Theatre that the one-sheets for Polaroid were already hanging around the lobby. They also hear other in-theater promotions for Polaroid were already out there across the country.
Polaroid stars Kathryn Prescott (The Hive), Mitch Pileggi (“The X-Files”), Grace Zabriskie (The Grudge), Tyler Young (Eyewitness), Keenan Tracey (“Bates Motel”), Samantha Logan (The Fosters), Priscilla Quintana (Stranded), Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”) and Javier Botet (Mama).
High school loner Bird Fitcher (Prescott) has no idea what dark secrets are tied to the Polaroid vintage camera she stumbles upon, but it doesn’t take long to discover that those who have their picture taken meet a tragic end.
The film is produced by Roy Lee (The Ring, Blair Witch) and Chris Bender (The Ring, The History of Violence). Written by Blair Butler, it’s based on the short by Lars Klevberg.
It’s been 17 years since the release of horror sequel The Descent: Part 2, and the film is returning to physical media with a brand new 4K Ultra HD SteelBook from Lionsgate Limited.
This marks the first time The Descent: Part 2 has been released on 4K in the U.S.
Now up for pre-order, the 4K SteelBook will be released on August 11, 2026.
The Descent: Part 2 follows Sarah Carter (Shauna Macdonald) — dazed, bloodied, and speechless — as she emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of The Descent occurred. Forced back underground to help the rescue team search for her missing girlfriends, Sarah’s fractured memories begin to return, and she realizes the full horror of what lurks in the depths of the caves. But the rescue team is about to face a new tribe of deformed crawlers — even more viciously feral than those Sarah encountered before.
