‘High Tide’ – Lizzy Greene Starring in Shark Attack Horror Movie
It seems like we just keep reporting on brand new shark attack horror movies, and that’s definitely not a complaint. This next one is titled High Tide, and Deadline brings us the scoop.
Lizzy Greene (A Million Little Things) will star and executive produce.
The upcoming survival horror movie “strands a group of friends on a swiftly submerging tidal island deep in the Pacific, where they are soon hunted by the ocean’s greatest predator.”
Deadline details, “Lizzy Greene will play Hannah who, mourning the death of her sister, takes off around the world. Her journey leads her to Fiji and on a tour of an isolated atoll – a volcanic island that disappears with each high tide. But when the group are stranded, the rapidly rising ocean begins to reveal its terrifying inhabitants.”
David Straiton (“Hemlock Grove”) is directing High Tide.
Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott (Abandoned) wrote the screenplay.
Architect’s Calum Gray previews, “You couldn’t ask for a more ingenious and thrilling high concept than High Tide. It’s so concrete, so memorable. For a survival thriller, it’s the perfect cocktail of a treacherous, ultra-challenging environment and a single-minded, relentless antagonist. It will thrill global audiences to their core. The excellent Lizzy Greene plays a hugely relatable and highly sympathetic character who we will root for, while David and his seasoned team will craft around her a paradisal, exotic but dangerously immersive world.”

‘Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare’ – First Image from ‘Poohniverse’ Horror Movie
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
