Don’t Fear, But Run Away from The Yeti! Who Knows, You May Survive!

Fear is primal, and when parts of the world still feel untamed, aye, it’s wise to fear The Yeti. This creature feature is aiming for an April 10 release in theatres and on digital. Also, quick note, the actor here isn’t the same one people may confuse him with. Here, Pooh Bear he is not. In this film, he plays Booker, a man who may or may not understand what’s waiting for the unlucky souls trekking into the frozen wilds.

What we know so far is that the story takes place in 1947, when people could vanish without a trace and the Alaska Triangle hadn’t yet entered popular imagination. There are no UFOs either! The plot follows the disappearance of an oil tycoon (Corbin Bernsen) and a legendary adventurer (William Sadler).

They’re not as well known as Hale Boggs and Nick Begich, the politicians who later vanished in 1972, but the comparison helps underline how perilous this region can be. Co-directors Gene Gallerano and William Pisciotta make their feature debut here, which is already a promising hook. Ellie Bannister (Brittany Allen) and Merriell Sunday Jr. (Eric Nelsen) lead a rescue mission to find the missing men. They’re connected to the case personally, and the trailer keeps the rest close to the chest.

The Mummy 4-Ever? But Will It Be the Legendary One Fans Remember?

Brendan Fraser & the Radio Silence crew are on board for The Mummy 4, but details remain buried in the sand. With #Blumhouse’s 2026 take, @UniversalPics’ version might be cursed by a classic case of “who’s on second?” #TheMummy

The Mummy 4 and TrilogyGood news, Mummy fans—Stephen Sommers’ adventure classic might just rise from its sarcophagus once more. While Arnold Vosloo’s return as Imhotep isn’t guaranteed, Brendan Fraser and the Radio Silence duo are on board. Fraser told Variety he’s open to revisiting Rick O’Connell “with the right script,” and that’s the key phrase. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will direct, and David Coggeshall is developing the screenplay. Just how complete that script is remains unknown until pre-production officially begins.

Unconfirmed is if Rachel Weisz is truly on board. She’s had a brilliant life outside of Hollywood with independent productions like The Whistleblower and Disobedience. She made a step back into higher profile roles like Melina Vostokoff in Black Widow. Talks are indeed happening. The biggest factor in seeing the couple return is that both are adamant about a good script! And without Jonathan (John Hannah), the comic relief, the odds are 50-50 to greenlight it. I can’t see a movie working without this rogue in tow.

When Full Moon Feature’s Quadrant Shows the Dangers of Virtual Reality Becoming Too Real, You Better Watch Out!

Sometimes, what happens in virtual reality can escape and be your worse nightmare! In Quadrant, the complexities of interfacing the wrong person to a fake world gets deftly examined.

I love the fact that Charles Band is tackling modern age concerns with movies like Aimee: The Visitor (movie review) and now Quadrant. The former concerned rogue artificial intelligence in search of romance and the latest, just whether virtual reality is a good place to go for therapy! But what if what one dreads, would they embrace their problem, so the issue becomes part of them? That’s where this story concept succeeds because the terror is presented in the best way this filmmaker can imagine. And as for Erin (Shannon Barnes), she better be careful in what she wants to reap after signing that waiver to be involved in this study.

Scientists Harry (Rickard Claeson) and Meg (Emma Reinagel) crafted a VR helmet with a few added interfaces so other bodily functions can be monitored and, if chemical stimulation is required, also pumped in too! It’s a type of neural study I am even game to try, but after seeing this film, I say not!

Erin is their tool to study how how helpful this technolgoy can be. But little do they know her obsession with Jack the Ripper is more twisted than they realise. She can’t distinguish between the two realities. In order to save her, these scientists must enlist the assistance of Robert (Christian Carrigan). He’s another person they’re studying, and when he has feelings for Erin, they hope he can provide something more real to fixate on instead of the Reaper.

But pretty soon, as with any Full Moon film, everything has to burst at the seams, and chaos erupts. Shannon Barnes is great at being Jekyll and Hyde, and had this tale not affirm the killer is Jack, I’d swear this tale is designed to honour Robert Louis Stevenson‘s work! Although the scientists don’t have the same panache as this star, they have their place as Data (from Star Trek) in those holosuite episodes where he is Sherlock Holmes, and Moriarty is given life!

To note, Quadrant marks this studio’s 400th release and is the first under the Pulp Noir label. It’s better than the recently reviewed Private Eye movie starring comedian Matt Rife in the sense we have existential dread as a theme from start to end. With this film, it’s perfect in its execution where even I wonder if therapy in the virtual realm is needed. Some phobias are best left alone, and others, I’m sure other methods to get over trauma exist!
