Like The Sleight of Hand, ‘Magic, Magic’ Completes Filming… First Look!
With Cannes a few weeks away, expect a slew of new images, posters and announcements for upcoming horror.
Starring Michael Cera, Juno Temple, Emily Browning and Catalina Sandino Moreno, we’ve learned that Sebastian Silva has finally gone behind cameras on his thriller Magic Magic, which was already acquired worldwide by Sony for release in 2013.
In addition, we got our grubby little mitts of the first ever image. The quality isn’t all that great, but it’s nice to have proof that it finally filmed.
In the film, “While visiting Chile with some friends, Alicia begins to lose her mind when she starts seeing disturbing images which seem to be visible only to her.”

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
