The Minions are chasing Hollywood dreams, and as expected, things get wildly out of hand.
In Minions & Monsters, the lovable, overall-wearing troublemakers set out to break into the movie business. But in true Minion fashion, their plan does not simply lead to cameras, sets, and stardom. Instead, they accidentally unleash monsters on Earth, placing humanity in danger and turning their big-screen ambitions into a hilarious global crisis.
Now, with chaos spreading fast, the Minions must fix the very mess they created. Helping them, challenging them, and sometimes making things even worse are a new lineup of unforgettable characters, from a tiny creature with terrifying power to a robot-alien overlord with secrets of his own.
Watch the trailer for Minions & Monsters here:
Goomi: A Small Monster with a Big Surprise
For Minions James and Henry, making a movie sounds easy enough. Step one: come up with a story. Step two: make it exciting. Step three: add a real-life monster.
What could possibly go wrong?
Using a spellbook, the pair summons Goomi, a tiny green creature inspired by Cthulhu. At first, Goomi is not exactly what the Minions had in mind. They expected something huge, fearsome, and ready to terrify audiences. Instead, they get a surprisingly adorable little monster whose cute appearance does not quite match his alarming nature.
James with his new friend Goomi in Minions & Monsters
Still, Goomi becomes an important part of their journey. Since he is not the cinematic creature James and Henry imagined, he joins them in searching for the monsters that might finally bring their movie vision to life.
Director Pierre Coffin brought in South Park co-creator Trey Parker to give Goomi his voice, and the challenge was anything but simple.
“Pierre gave me what might be the hardest voice direction possible: make this tiny Cthulhu-like monster sound really cute,” Parker says. “That’s a tall order when you’re working with the guy who created the Minions, because he’s already set the world record for cute. I do a lot of voices on South Park, so the challenge for us was finding something that felt new and specific to Goomi, and didn’t just sound like a tiny Cartman. Pierre had such a clear, funny, sweet idea for who Goomi was, and it was great creating another little monster in the world.”
Dort: The Overlord Dick Has Been Searching For
While some Minions are busy making movie magic, self-appointed leader Dick has other priorities. He is not thrilled by James and Henry’s filmmaking mission. His focus is much more traditional for a Minion: find an evil overlord and follow them proudly.
That search leads him to Dort, a robot-alien overlord voiced by Jesse Eisenberg.
The Minions crowd around Dort in Minions & Monsters
Dort may appear controlled, formal, and mechanical, but Eisenberg wanted to make sure the character did not feel completely emotionless. His goal was to create a voice that sounded artificial while still allowing small hints of vulnerability to slip through.
“The dialogue was already written with this slightly robotic formality,” Eisenberg says. “So, the question became how much humanity should leak through. I liked the idea that he could sound very controlled and artificial, and then suddenly there is a small hesitation in his voice that makes him feel less certain than he wants everyone to believe.”
The result is a character who feels both intimidating and oddly uncertain, making Dort a fun new addition to the Minions’ long history of unusual bosses.
Phillips: A Monster with Unexpected Charm
As the adventure continues, the Minions and Goomi encounter Phillips, one of the monsters who looks much closer to the frightening creature James and Henry originally wanted for their film.
Voiced by Bobby Moynihan, Phillips has the appearance of something that should send everyone running. Yet beneath his terrifying exterior is a strangely cheerful personality that gives the character an unexpected twist.
Howard, Goomi, and Phillips facing a giant blob in Minions & Monsters
“I loved that Phillips looks like he should be pure nightmare fuel, but there is something oddly jolly about him,” Moynihan says. “He has his own unique energy, and I got to improvise a bit, which is always a gift in animation. Sometimes the things you try on the spot end up unlocking the character.”
With that mix of spooky looks and playful energy, Phillips adds a surprising dose of humor to the monster madness.
Howard: Ancient, Strange, and Full of Mystery
Found alongside Phillips is Howard, a creature with a look that combines elements of a starfish and an octopus. He is not introduced lightly. Frozen by humanity and marked with warnings not to release him, Howard immediately brings a sense of danger to the story.
“Humanity stopped them at some point and made it very clear that they should never be released,” director Pierre Coffin says. “That gives Phillips and Howard a sense of danger before we really know what they can do.”
The Minions, along with Goomi, meet Phillips and Howard
Howard is voiced by Phil LaMarr, who had the task of bringing life to a character with very little dialogue. Since Howard does not speak often, every sound needed to feel powerful and meaningful.
“Howard does not say much, so every sound had to carry a lot of weight,” LaMarr says. “I wanted the voice to feel like it came from somewhere deep and strange, as if this creature had been around much longer than anyone really understood.”
That deep, mysterious quality makes Howard one of the film’s most intriguing new monsters.
Monster Mayhem Comes to Philippine Cinemas
Funny, chaotic, and packed with new characters, Minions & Monsters sends the Minions into another outrageous adventure where their biggest problem is, once again, themselves.
From Goomi’s adorable terror to Dort’s robotic uncertainty, Phillips’ jolly weirdness, and Howard’s ancient menace, the film introduces a fresh crew of creatures ready to shake up the Minions’ world.
Can the Minions save humanity from the monsters they accidentally released? Or will their Hollywood dream become the ultimate disaster movie?
Find out as Minions & Monsters unleashes mayhem in Philippine cinemas, now showing nationwide.

July is shaping up to be an unforgettable month for Netflix subscribers, with a diverse slate of brand-new films, binge-worthy series, and returning favorites arriving throughout the month. Whether you’re craving edge-of-your-seat mysteries, epic adventures, heartwarming romances, or inspiring dramas, Netflix’s latest lineup offers something for every kind of viewer.
Set in a fictional historical era, a malevolent supernatural curse takes hold of the royal grounds, prompting the King (Cho Seung-woo) to secretly recruit an unlikely duo to eradicate the threat.
He summons Gu-cheon (Nam Joo-hyuk), an arrogant and formidable ghost-slayer armed with a specialized spirit-killing blade and the rare ability to traverse between the human world and the spectral realm. Joining him is Saeng-gang (Roh Yoon-seo), a court lady harboring her own secrets, who possesses the unique gift to hear and communicate with the dead.
As they navigate the haunted corridors of the East Palace and venture into the spirit world, they must work together to unravel the origin of the hauntings. However, they soon find themselves caught in a dangerous web of political intrigue, restless spirits, and dark, long-buried royal secrets, all while the enigmatic King watches their every move with motives that are entirely his own.
Adventure follows the young, sharp-witted detective Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) far from London to the sunny island of Malta, where her long-awaited destination wedding to Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) is about to take place.
However, her personal and professional dreams instantly collide on the day of the ceremony. Dr. John Watson (Himesh Patel) arrives with shocking news: Enola’s famous brother, Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill), has been kidnapped. With her mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter) trusting only Enola to handle the rescue, the bride-to-be must pause her impending nuptials.
Enola is thrust into a perilous “nest of vipers” as she navigates a treacherous, tangled new case to find her brother, proving once again that she is a formidable detective in her own right.
When a shocking, inexplicable murder occurs on live television, Tokyo is thrown into a state of panic. The culprit is a mysterious individual who possesses the terrifying, superhuman ability to melt entirely into a gaseous form, allowing them to bypass any security measure, evade capture, and vanish into thin air.
As a dedicated detective (Shun Oguri) is assigned to hunt down this elusive phantom, his investigation uncovers a deeply disturbing reality. The killer’s powers are not a natural phenomenon, but the result of a sinister, top-secret military or corporate project that deliberately targeted, experimented on, and ultimately discarded society’s most vulnerable people.
To stop the “human vapor” and expose the dark truth behind the conspiracy, the detective must navigate a dangerous web of corporate cover-ups and political corruption before the gaseous killer strikes again.
Based closely on the cherished semi-autobiographical novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this sweeping historical family drama follows the resilient Ingalls family as they leave their life behind to journey deep into the vast, untamed American frontier.
Led by the determined Charles “Pa” Ingalls (Luke Bracey) and Caroline “Ma” Ingalls (Crosby Fitzgerald), the family seeks a new beginning on the open prairie. Seen through the eyes of their sharp-witted and fiercely independent young daughter, Laura (Alice Halsey), the series explores a grimmer, more realistic look at frontier life than previous screen versions. The family must brave harsh winters, illness, the immense joys of untouched nature, and the brutal realities of survival, all while learning what it truly means to build a community from the ground up.
Inspired by the powerful true story of the European youth organization Jugend Rettet (“Youth to the Rescue”), the film follows a passionate group of Berlin university students who refuse to stand idly by while countless refugees lose their lives attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe.
Driven by hope and a determination to make a difference, but possessing absolutely zero maritime rescue experience, the young activists launch a massive crowdfunding campaign. They raise enough money to purchase a repurposed old fishing boat and courageously set sail into the open sea. Against all odds, their mission succeeds, ultimately saving the lives of over 23,000 people in distress. However, as their humanitarian efforts expand, the group’s idealistic mission runs headlong into the harsh, rigid realities of international institutions, forcing them into a complex and harrowing struggle over law, accountability, and the true cost of justice.

Fresh, ferocious, and emotionally charged, the film offers a new nightmare for longtime fans while pushing the beloved series into more intimate and unsettling territory.
Watch the Official Trailer:
Rated R-18 with no cuts, Evil Dead Burn opens in Philippine cinemas on July 8.
A Widow’s Grief Becomes a Deadite Nightmare
In Evil Dead Burn, a recently widowed woman stays with her in-laws at their isolated family home to grieve the loss of her husband. What begins as a painful reunion soon spirals into a savage fight for survival when members of the family are possessed one by one and transformed into Deadites.
Trapped in the home, surrounded by people who were supposed to share her sorrow, she discovers that love, death, and evil can form a horrifying bond. Worse, the promises made at the altar may not end at the grave.
By centering the story on a widow and her in-laws, the film turns familiar Evil Dead chaos into something more personal. The fear is not only in the blood, fire, and violence. It is also in the silence of grief, the tension of a broken family, and the terrifying feeling of being trapped with people who are no longer themselves.
Sébastien Vaniček Brings Fire, Fear, and Fresh Energy
French director Sébastien Vaniček, who earned international acclaim for his skin-crawling horror film Vermines, known globally as Infested, steps into the franchise with a bold vision. Together with co-writer Florent Bernard, he takes on one of horror cinema’s most iconic worlds with both reverence and nerve.
For Vaniček, the experience of making Evil Dead Burn was as wild as the film itself.
“It starts with an idea in your apartment in Paris,” he laughs, “and then cut to a crew of 200 in front of three people on fire, in front of a house on fire. It’s pretty crazy, but I’m surrounded by people who are really professional and very good at what they do, so I’m in good hands.”
Oh, and with that kind of scale, the film promises not just scares, but spectacle. Fire, chaos, and practical intensity fuel the director’s take on a franchise known for going all in.
Honoring Evil Dead Without Playing It Safe
While Evil Dead Burn carries the bloody spirit of the franchise, Vaniček was determined not to simply copy what came before. For him, respecting the fans meant understanding the rules, then daring to twist them.
“There’s obviously an immense respect for the franchise and the fans. That’s where it all begins. But I know I wasn’t offered this role to simply do what the audience expects. Respect is also understanding that Evil Dead is not just about blood and chainsaws. There is so much more to explore in this world. And that’s what I was determined to do. Understand the rules and twist them. Try to bring a new vision, a unique vision to this amazing world. I think that’s why Evil Dead is still alive today – because it gives directors freedom to do new things.”
That freedom is what keeps the franchise burning. With every new filmmaker comes a new way to unleash the Deadites, and Vaniček appears ready to deliver a chapter that feels unmistakably Evil Dead while carving out its own wicked identity.
A More Violent, More Emotional Kind of Horror
For co-writer Florent Bernard, the challenge was clear: find a way into the story that did not feel like a repeat. Instead of another group of friends, the film looks at a woman uprooted by loss and forced to face horror alongside the family she married into.
“The biggest challenge was avoiding too much repetition of what had already been done. That’s why we decided not to use a group of friends or people of the same age. But a woman uprooted and stuck with her in-laws—especially after a loss that affects them all—carried real narrative promise. Sébastien didn’t want to make the bloodiest Evil Dead, but definitely the most violent one.”
It is a chilling promise. Rather than chasing gore for gore’s sake, Evil Dead Burn builds its terror from emotional pressure, physical danger, and the painful ties that bind people together even when evil tears them apart.
The Deadites Return to Philippine Cinemas
Brutal, bold, and built to shake audiences, Evil Dead Burn aims to give horror fans a theatrical experience that is scary, funny, emotional, and deeply uncomfortable in all the right ways.
“If audiences walk out of the theatre feeling like they’ve experienced a horror-action film that’s emotional and funny, as well as uncomfortable and exhilarating,” says Bernard, “that’s what we’re aiming for.”
With no cuts and an R-18 rating, Evil Dead Burn is set to unleash its full force on the big screen. Fearless fans can catch the Deadites when the film opens in Philippine cinemas on July 8. Distributed locally by Columbia Pictures PH.

Completing the trio is Ed, a hearing-impaired Minion who communicates nonverbally.
Together, James, Henry, and Ed have developed their own system of signs, allowing them to connect in a way that is uniquely theirs. As the adventure pulls the trio away from the rest of the tribe, Ed becomes an essential part of the filmmaking team.
With his presence, “Minions & Monsters” brings a meaningful reminder that teamwork comes in many forms, and every voice matters, even without spoken words.
Dick Wants to Keep Things Classic
Then there is Dick, the tribe’s self-appointed leader.
Dick leading the pack in Minions & Monsters
Unlike James, Dick is fully committed to the classic Minion mission: finding a villain to serve. For him, James’ filmmaking dreams are strange, impractical, and completely unnecessary.
With no interest in chasing movie magic, Dick pushes back against James’ outlandish plans. Of course, that only makes the adventure even funnier, messier, and more entertaining.
Pierre Coffin Returns as the Voice Behind the Minions
Directing “Minions & Monsters” is Pierre Coffin, the longtime voice of the Minions since their creation.
