Movie and Entertainment Updates
VAMPIRES OF THE VELVET LOUNGE | In Theaters Now
Deep in the American South, a back-alley absinthe bar harbors a centuries-old secret. Its seductive proprietor is none other than Elizabeth Báthory (Mena Suvari), the infamous countess whose legend many believe inspired Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula.” She and her glamorous coven of vampires (India Eisley, Sarah Dumont) keep their killer instincts sharp by preying on lonely singles through dating apps, seducing and slaughtering to preserve their youth. But when Báthory swipes right on the wrong profiles—a cunning undercover vampire hunter (Dichen Lachman) and a band of emotionally stunted bros on a misguided boys’ trip (Stephen Dorff, Lochlyn Munro, Tyrese Gibson)—the hunt spirals into hilariously horrifying chaos. Blood flies, fangs pierce flesh, and the bar erupts into a glitter-soaked, green fairy-winged, fang-filled fever dream of grindhouse gore, terrible decisions, and fashionably fatal carnage.
From acclaimed director/writer Adam Sherman, VAMPIRES OF THE VELVET LOUNGE also stars Mark Boone, Jr., Sherman Augustus, Timothy Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Rosa Salazar.

SEND HELP | On Digital March 24th and 4K UHD & DVD April 21st
The darkly comedic and twisted world of legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi strands audiences on a deserted island when SEND HELP arrives on Digital March 24, including Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The film’s blend of satire and suspense continues when SEND HELP arrives on 4K Ultra HD and DVD April 21, featuring over two hours of bonus content that takes audiences deeper behind the scenes of Sam Raimi’s twisted survival thriller.
Sam Raimi describes SEND HELP as a darkly comedic reversal of power: “What if a woman was cheated by the boys’ club at work, held down by corporate management and a terrible, mean boss who treats her unfairly? And what if they crash-landed on an island and the roles were reversed?” That premise erupts onscreen through the explosive performances of Rachel McAdams (“Linda Liddle”) and Dylan O’Brien (“Bradley Preston”), whose ferocious clash for survival delivers both brutal tension and bursts of unexpected humor.
SEND HELP has struck a chord with critics, earning a 93% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes® and drawing praise for its dark humor and escalating tension. Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times calls the film “a symphony of unexpected, increasingly violent power shifts, building a lusty momentum from Linda’s morphing personality and Bradley’s scramble to adapt.” Odie Henderson of The Boston Globe writes that SEND HELP “is director Sam Raimi’s return to the gory mischief that has endeared him to fans for the past 45 years.”
Deepening the psychological thriller experience, SEND HELP pairs viscerally striking cinematography with unexpected humor, all underscored by a gripping score from Danny Elfman. Fans can dive even further into the film’s twisted world with over two hours of extensive bonus features, including early versions of key scenes, behind-the-scenes looks at production and sound design, and entertaining bloopers from the set.
Film Synopsis
When two business colleagues become stranded on a deserted island as the only survivors of a plane crash, they must overcome past grievances and work together to stay alive. But they’re not in the office anymore, and an unsettling, wryly humorous battle of wills and wits begins in this original, darkly comedic psychological thriller.
