[Image] Here’s Your First Look at Josh Stewart’s Arkin in ‘The Collected’
The story that began with The Collector and continued with The Collection finally becomes a trilogy with upcoming sequel The Collected, which will bring back the titular villain as well as the only man who’s been able to stop his reign of terror, Arkin O’Brien. Josh Stewart reprises the role in the new film, and he just shared the first shot of Arkin’s return over on Twitter.
Marcus Dunstan is once again in the director’s chair for The Collected, which was co-written by Dunstan and his Collector/Collection collaborator Patrick Melton.
Emma Fitzpatrick is also back, with Randy Havens (“Stranger Things”, Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Dot-Marie Jones (“American Horror Story”, 3 From Hell) and Navi Rawat (Feast, The Collection) joining the cast. As we recently told you, Tom Atkins will also star!
Expect more soon…

Zazie Beetz must fight her way through a New York City high-rise serving as a temple to Satan in They Will Kill You, and it’s officially set to make its global streaming debut next week.
They Will Kill You begins streaming exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, June 12. The film will debut on HBO linear on June 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Beetz leads the cast as Asia, who must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering. Patricia Arquette, Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham also star.
Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die!) directs from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators).
IT filmmaker Andy Muschietti produces alongside Barbara Muschietti and Dan Kagan. Executive producers include Sokolov, Litvak, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, and Carl Hampe.
The raucous action horror comedy delivers on blood-splattery fun, but was overshadowed by high profile sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. It’s worth a watch for the talented cast, who commit to Sokolov’s zany action horror beats, include a rogue eyeball.
I wrote in my SXSW review, “Sokolov’s striking composition, dedication to carnage-fueled stunts and fight choreography, and an all-too-game cast anchored by a dedicated and fierce Zazie Beetz prevent this slight but energetic crowd-pleaser from careening off the rails.” And, “it’s so brazen and unabashed in its pursuit of cinematic thrills and splatstick chills that it succeeds in its aim, which is to deliver a riotously great time at the theater.”
More of a physical media fan? On June 30, 2026, They Will Kill You will be available to own on 4K UHD™, Blu-ray™, and DVD from online and physical retailers.
