‘The Dust Walker’ Attacks With its Giant Tentacles [Images]
ScreenDaily reported earlier this year that London-based sales outfit SC Films International had boarded international rights to Australian sci-fi thriller The Dust Walker.
From writer-director Sandra Sciberras (Caterpillar Wish), the film is about an alien spaceship that crashes in the isolated Australian desert, turning the local townsfolk into soulless beings. With the outbreak spreading, the local sergeant must fight to protect her family.
Jolene Anderson, who stars in Blumhouse’s upcoming horror Prey, plays the lead with Stef Dawson (Guardians Of The Tomb), Richard Davies (Bruce) and Cassandra Magrath (Wolf Creek) in the supporting cast.
Producers are Sciberras with Grace Luminato (The Green Door) and Megan Wynn (The Childhood Of A Leader).

After a record-breaking box office run, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading back to theaters with an extended cut.
AMC Theatres is unleashing Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition with bonus footage this week, July 3.
AMC describes this release as a “theatrically exclusive post-credit” with additional footage from Kane Parsons. Expect 15 minutes of bonus footage, with the new version clocking in at 2 hours and 6 minutes.
Backrooms is already the second highest grossing horror movie of 2026, and it’s now nipping at the heels of Obsession to claim the #1 spot. This move could get audiences back in seats over the holiday weekend, but its facing steep competition in a crowded box office.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
