A chilling new terror is ready to stalk the big screen.
Robert Eggers, the filmmaker behind Nosferatu and The Witch, returns with Werwulf, a gothic horror film that teases one of his most brutal and unsettling visions yet. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe, the film brings audiences into a world where devotion twists into damnation, and the darkest threat may be the monster waiting within.
Watch the trailer for Werewulf here:
The trailer for Werewulf offers a haunting first look at Eggers’ latest nightmare. Gloomy landscapes, ominous whispers, and a growing sense of dread set the stage for a story that feels ancient, savage, and deeply personal. At the center of it all is Taylor-Johnson, whose terrifying transformation hints at a performance rooted in fear, fury, and feral instinct.
Robert Eggers Brings Back Primal Fear
Eggers has built a reputation for horror that feels immersive, textured, and unnervingly real. With The Witch, he explored paranoia and faith in a remote Puritan world. With Nosferatu, he returned to one of cinema’s most iconic nightmares. Now, with Werwulf, he turns to a creature of folklore that has long represented the battle between humanity and the beast inside.
Focus Features presents Werwulf as a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within. Based on the trailer, the film appears to carry the hallmarks of Eggers’ work: rich atmosphere, period detail, psychological tension, and a sense of evil that slowly tightens its grip.
A Terrifying Transformation Led by Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads the cast in what looks to be a physically intense and emotionally charged role. His presence in the trailer suggests a character caught between love, fear, and something far more monstrous. As the horror builds, so does the question at the heart of the film: what remains of a man when the beast takes over?
Joining him are Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, two performers whose talents fit perfectly into Eggers’ shadowy cinematic world. Depp brings an eerie elegance to the film’s gothic mood, while Dafoe, a frequent presence in daring and atmospheric cinema, adds weight and menace to the story.
Together, the cast helps shape Werwulf into a horror experience that looks both intimate and terrifying.
A Gothic Nightmare Coming Soon to PH Cinemas
With its bleak imagery, unsettling tone, and ferocious central mystery, Werwulf is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of elevated horror, creature features, and folklore-inspired nightmares. Eggers’ approach suggests more than a simple monster movie. It is a descent into obsession, fear, and the terrifying possibility that evil is not always outside the door. Sometimes, it is already inside.
Werwulf unleashes horror soon in Philippine cinemas.

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.

After months of anticipation, the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) officially opens the first live theatrical installment of the iconic satirical franchise, “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sht! It’s Live sa Cheter!”, running from June 19 to August 16, 2026 at the PETA Theater Center.
The production embraces everything audiences have come to love about the “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank” universe: humor, larger-than-life personalities, outrageous situations, and a meta look at the messy business of making art. The result is a theatrical experience that is hilarious, self-aware, and chaotic.
At the center of the story is a play within a play—a wildly ambitious adaptation of Aurelio Tolentino’s “Kahapon, Nga kill yon at Bukas,” one of the most significant works in Philippine theater, first staged in 1903. Somehow, against all odds and perhaps better judgment, it finds itself inside the world of “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank,” where questions of power, resistance, and revolution are refracted through celebrity, spectacle, and theatrical chaos.
Caught in the middle of it all is Eugene Domingo, who recruits the “Ugeng-gengs” (a troupe of aspiring performers personally recruited by Eugene), rallies an eclectic team of collaborators, and pushes the project far beyond the limits of practicality. Visionary, charismatic, exasperating, and impossible to ignore, she becomes the driving force behind a production that threatens to spin gloriously out of control just as she tries harder and harder to keep it under her full control.
Yet the production deliberately resists easy or didactic conclusions. As playwright Chris Martinez explains: “The play doesn’t try to resolve that. It just puts it onstage.” The production invites audiences to laugh at them, wrestle with them, and continue the conversation long after the curtain falls.
That philosophy has always been central to the “Septic Tank” franchise. Previous installments challenged audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about independent filmmaking, commercial cinema, and historical revisionism. This latest chapter continues that tradition by exposing the tensions within contemporary theater and the society it reflects.
As Marlon Rivera, director of the first three “Septic Tank” installments and now a cast member in the fourth, puts it: “Once the tyrant is expelled and the star is covered in shit, does the audience walk out clean, or are they left holding the ticket stubs of their own complicity?”
Audience demand has already translated into strong ticket sales, starting with two sold-out weeks and several other performances fully booked throughout the run.
Love, longing, and sisterhood take center stage in “Sense and Sensibility,” a new film adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved first published novel. Opening in Philippine cinemas on October 28, the movie stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles as the unforgettable Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne.
From Focus Features and Working Title, this charming new take on Austen’s iconic story brings wit, romance, and emotional warmth to the big screen.
See the Dashwood Sisters in the Official Trailer
The trailer offers a glimpse into the elegant yet complicated world of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, two sisters whose hearts lead them down very different paths.

Jane Austen’s Classic Story Returns to Cinemas

Beautifully told and deeply relatable, “Sense and Sensibility” speaks to anyone who has ever balanced reason with feeling.
Directed by Georgia Oakley and written by Diana Reid, the film offers a fresh yet faithful lens on Austen’s world, capturing the humor, elegance, and emotional truth that continue to make the story timeless.
