Sharks Attack in ‘Open Water 3 Cage Dive’ Trailer
The chances of dying from a shark attack just increased for three unlucky tourists.
Oddly enough, the Open Water franchise is thus far made up of films that weren’t originally intended to be sequels. Released in 2006, Open Water 2: Adrift was a standalone film that was released with franchise ties after the success of Chris Kentis’ low-budget film.
Similarly, this year’s Open Water 3 Cage Dive began its life as, well Cage Dive.
Lionsgate scooped up the film and made it part of the Open Water franchise, and today they’ve unleashed the trailer. You can check it out below, via Arrow in the Head.
Look for this one August 11th in theaters and on demand.
Cage Dive follows three American tourists making an audition tape of a shark cage dive for a reality TV show. A catastrophic turn of events leaves them stranded in the waters of South Australia surrounded by hungry great white sharks.
Joel Hogan, Josh Potthoff, Megan Peta Hill and Pete Valley star.

‘Nightborn’ Trailer Teases a Monstrous Newborn in Shudder’s Horror Film from ‘Hatching’ Filmmaker
There’s something seriously wrong with the newborn in the first trailer for dark fable Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
Nightborn will make its premiere at Fantasia on July 22 before debuting on Shudder on July 31.
Motherhood appears to be a very violent, bloody affair in the below trailer and poster.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star in the film described as ” a visceral, gripping and terrifying dark fable about motherhood and unconditional maternal love.”
The cast also includes Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson.
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
Expect Nightborn to pull from Nordic folklore. Bergholm explained in a statement, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
