Documentary Follows Paramedics Through a Year of Emergency Calls

Posted on by

A new documentary puts a camera inside ambulances and emergency rooms across the country, following paramedics as they respond to calls that could be anything from a heart attack to a car crash.

Into the Unknown follows EMS crews in Santa Barbara, Sparks, Denver, Baton Rouge, and Crozet over the course of a year. Director Tom Putnam, who made the firefighter documentary Burn, captures the split-second decisions, physical danger, and emotional weight that come with the job.

The film features paramedics Dr. Richard Carmona, Pat Coyle, Heather Edwards, Nicole Jagers, Niki Johnson, Anthony Judkins, Anne Kellogg, Trevor Oakley, John Tinsley, and Jenn Vazquez.

Executive producers include Steve Buscemi and Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe, who played paramedics on the 1970s show Emergency! Mantooth and Tighe say the documentary is a tribute to the real professionals whose work helped inspire that series.

“Behind every uniform is a human being navigating trauma, loss, exhaustion, and the immense responsibility of making split-second decisions under extraordinary pressure,” according to the filmmakers.

Into the Unknown opens on digital platforms December 4.

Alexandre Aja’s Horror Thriller “Never Let Go” Arrives on 4K UHD and Blu-ray

Posted on by

Halle Berry fights to protect her twin sons from an unseen evil in “Never Let Go,” a horror thriller hitting 4K UHD and Blu-ray on November 11.

Directed by Alexandre Aja (“Crawl”) and written by KC Coughlin and Ryan Grassby, the film follows a mother and her two boys as they shelter in their family home while an evil force overtakes the world outside. Their survival depends on staying physically connected, literally tethering themselves with ropes. When one son begins to doubt whether the threat is real, the family bond fractures and a fight for survival begins.

Berry, who won an Oscar for “Monster’s Ball,” stars alongside Percy Daggs IV (“The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey”), Anthony B. Jenkins (“The Deliverance”), William Catlett (“A Thousand and One”), Matthew Kevin Anderson (“The Flash”), and Christin Park (“The 100”).

The home release includes several special features: “Making Never Let Go,” “Creating Momma’s House,” “Tethered Together,” deleted scenes, and the theatrical trailer. The 4K edition offers Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio, with Spanish and French audio tracks and subtitles.

The film runs 101 minutes and carries an R rating for strong violent content and grisly images.

Dennis Hopper’s ‘Tracks’ Gets 4K Restoration, Screens November 11 in New York

Posted on by

A Vietnam vet escorts a fellow soldier’s body home by train, and the war won’t let him go.

Henry Jaglom’s 1976 film Tracks, starring Dennis Hopper, is getting a new 4K restoration. Hope Runs High is bringing the film back to theaters with a screening at Roxy Cinema in New York on November 11, 2026.

The film follows a sergeant, played by Hopper, who is traveling across the country by train with the remains of a fellow soldier. Haunted by what he saw in Vietnam, he encounters passengers both real and imagined. Dean Stockwell and Taryn Power, daughter of Tyrone Power, co-star.

Tracks was selected for Semaine de la Critique at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival. Critics at the time called it visceral and discomforting. J. Hoberman described it as “both a terminal road film and the first post-Vietnam movie.” Variety called it “an incisive, revelatory film.”

Jaglom wrote and directed the film. Paul Glickman shot it, and Zack Norman produced. Jaglom started his career editing Easy Rider alongside Jack Nicholson, then went on to direct more than twenty films of his own.

The Roxy Cinema screening includes a post-screening Q&A with Sabrina Jaglom and Justin LaLiberty. The theater is located at 2 Avenue of the Americas in New York.

Documentary About Musician Alex Sparrow’s Recovery From Stroke Screens at DOC NYC

Posted on by

will-powerA musician on the verge of stardom has a head-on car crash that leaves him paralyzed and unable to sing. Then he fights his way back.

WILL POWER, a new documentary from director Lauro Rocha, follows the true story of Alex Sparrow (Aleksey Vorobyov), an actor and musician who suffered a traumatic brain injury and stroke after a 2013 car accident in Los Angeles. The film screens at DOC NYC on November 15 at Village East by Angelika.

Sparrow was 17 when he broke out on the Russian version of The X Factor. He signed with Universal Music Russia in 2006 and represented Russia at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. By 2013, he’d moved to the U.S. and was working with Grammy-winning producer RedOne, known for Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance.

Then came the crash. Doctors said he might never sing, act, or dance again. Filmed over several years, WILL POWER documents Sparrow’s recovery as he relearns basic skills and eventually returns to performing.

“My progress wasn’t linear, and reclaiming my life meant discovering a new version of myself,” Sparrow says.

The documentary has won awards at the Overcome Film Festival and Eurasia Film Festival. Rocha, a graduate of the AFI Conservatory and founder of Small World Films, says the film challenges assumptions about resilience and human limits.

Tickets are $20 to $22.

Japanese Horror Film “New Group” Hits Shudder with Body Horror and Social Commentary

Posted on by

A high school student watches her world spiral into terror as those around her turn into mindless followers in “New Group,” a Japanese body horror film that lands on Shudder November 6.

Director Yûta Shimotsu transforms simple gymnastics routines into what critics call “a nightmarish dance of death.” The film stars Anna Yamada as Ai, who witnesses a cult-like mentality spread through her community.

Shimotsu, who studied mechanical engineering before moving into filmmaking, made his feature debut with “Best Wishes to All” in 2023. “New Group” screened at Fantasia International Film Festival and Sitges Film Festival before its streaming release.

Early reviews highlight the film’s blend of horror and social criticism. Rue Morgue calls it “a most entertaining slice of weirdness…braced by an underpinning of social commentary.” Bloody Disgusting labels it “an incredible, unpredictable body horror masterpiece that doubles as an indicting satire of Japan’s society.”

The 82-minute film, written by Shimotsu and Momoko Sahara, also stars Yuzu Aoki and Pierre Taki. It joins Shudder’s growing library of international horror that uses genre filmmaking to examine cultural anxieties.

Rains Over Babel, Colombia’s official submission for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards, will have its New York premiere at Museum of the Moving Image on December 5. The film screens in Los Angeles on November 5 at Instituto Cervantes.

Set in a retro-futuristic version of Cali, Colombia, the film follows misfits who gather at Babel, a dive bar that doubles as purgatory. La Flaca (Saray Rebolledo) presides over lost souls gambling years of their lives to outwit Death. Over one night, their stories collide. Dante searches for his forgotten past, the ghost Monet races to reclaim his body, Timbí and Uma descend through purgatory to save loved ones, and Jacob prepares for his debut drag performance.

Italian Horror Film The Holy Boy Hits Shudder After Fantastic Fest Wins

Posted on by

A tormented teacher discovers a dark secret in a too-happy Italian village in The Holy Boy, Paolo Strippoli’s new folk horror film coming to Shudder on November 27th.

The film follows Sergio, a teacher transferred to Remis, a secluded town known as the happiest place in Italy. He finds out why. Every week, villagers gather to hug Matteo, a 15-year-old whose embrace can supposedly erase pain and sorrow. When Sergio realizes the town’s devotion to the boy isn’t as benevolent as it looks, his attempt to rescue him backfires hard.

The Holy Boy won the Audience Award and New Wave Best Director at Fantastic Fest and played the Venice Film Festival and BFI London. Variety called it “a clever, creepy Italian chiller” that uses horror to investigate “the dangers of displaced grief.” Dread Central said Strippoli’s film “reaches straight through the chest to grab hold of your heart and squeeze it dry.”

Strippoli previously directed A Classic Horror Story for Netflix and won Best Director at Taormina Film Fest for it. He’s got another horror film, The Spiral, coming later this year.

The Holy Boy stars Michele Riondino and Giulio Feltri. It’s written by Strippoli, Jacopo Del Giudice, and Milo Tissone.
