Destry Allyn Spielberg’s Horror Movie ‘Please Don’t Feed the Children’ Finds a Home at Tubi
Destry Allyn Spielberg, the daughter of Steven Spielberg, makes her feature directorial debut with post-apocalyptic horror movie Please Don’t Feed the Children, and Deadline reports this morning that the upcoming movie has been acquired for release by streamer Tubi.
Please Don’t Feed the Children will launch June 27 exclusively on Tubi.
“We cannot wait to premiere Please Don’t Feed The Children on Tubi and introduce viewers to Destry’s incredible work as a first-time filmmaker,” said Tubi SVP, Content Acquisitions & Partnerships Samuel Harowitz. “Featuring a captivating young cast, relentless suspense and Michelle Dockery as a sinister antagonist, horror-thriller fans are in for a chilling experience. We’re grateful that Destry and Paul [Bertino] chose Tubi as the best home to showcase this unique film, and we are excited to bring their vision to Tubi audiences.”
In Please Don’t Feed the Children, “after a viral outbreak ravaged the country’s adult population, a group of orphans heads south in search of a new life, only to find themselves at the mercy of a deranged woman harboring a dangerous secret.”
The film stars Michelle Dockery (Boy Kills World, The Gentlemen), Giancarlo Esposito (MaXXXine, Abigail), Zoe Colletti (Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark), Dean Scott Vazquez (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), Vernon Davis (Chariot, A Day To Die), Emma Meisel (“American Horror Story: 1984”), Andrew Liner (“Vampire Academy”), Reagan Aliyah (Marvel’s “Ironheart”), and Joshuah Melnick (Saint X, Tesla).
Please Don’t Feed the Children is written by Paul Bertino, produced by Jason Dubin and his Perry Street Films, Josh Kesselman, Michael Hagerty, Bill Kenwright, and Daniel Ryniker.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
