In recent times, Bill Skarsgård has taken on some fascinating characters, such as Eric from The Crow and Count Orlok in Nosferatu.

Under the guidance of director David Yarovesky, the thrilling movie titled “Locked” unfolds the story of Eddie Barrish, a petty burglar who finds himself trapped after attempting to steal a high-end SUV.

With each tick of the clock, Eddie races against time to escape and survive another day. The film is set to hit theaters on March 21, 2025.

‘Death of a Unicorn’

It’s consistently entertaining to watch Paul Rudd, who seems almost timeless, take on fatherly roles, while Jenna Ortega continues to excel in her angsty teen parts. These two actors are sure to captivate any audience member. However, there’s much more to look forward to in the upcoming creature horror comedy, Death of a Unicorn.

In “Death of a Unicorn,” which Alex Scharfman wrote and directed, Elliot and his daughter Ridley embark on a city escape only to encounter an unexpected obstacle – hitting a unicorn on their journey. When Elliot turns to his wealthy boss, Richard E. Grant, for assistance, the self-serving man sees a chance to capitalize on the creature’s rumored miraculous powers. But as they soon discover, this unicorn might not be the divine being they initially believed it to be. Mark your calendars – “Death of a Unicorn” hits theaters on March 28, 2025.

Left severely injured, Ramona finds herself single-handedly caring for their 14 and 6-year-old children in their secluded farmhouse. However, one day a woman mysteriously appears in their yard. Initially believing the woman to be disoriented or lost, Ramona soon realizes she’s not dealing with an ordinary individual. As the woman approaches the house, it becomes evident her intentions are far from benign.
