The daughter of M. Night Shayamalan, Ishana, is making her feature film directorial debut with her new film The Watchers. Just like her father, she wrote the screenplay. With films such as The Sixth Sense and Signs, we’re sure she has picked up a thing or two. Based on the A.M. Shine book of the same name, the film follows a a young woman stranded in the forest. As she searches for a signal, she becomes trapped along with three strangers. In a concrete room with a class wall, each night they are observed by mysterious creatures in the forest. From the looks of the trailer, it seems this will be a good one.

In the sequel to Inside Out, Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust have some new emotions moving in. To make room for Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment, her mind is undergoing a renovation. Each fights for control as Riley tries to figure out who she is, her friendships, her family and other things most teenagers deal with.
The Bikeriders – June 21st
This year has been a big year for Austin Butler. Starring in Dune: Part Two and the Apple TV+ limited series, Masters of the Air, he has been busy. Now, he’s starring in The Bikeriders along with Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy. The film is a fictional story of the Outlaws Motor Club, the Vandals.

A Quiet Place: Day One – June 28th
In this new spin off, A Quiet Place: Day One takes place on the day blind alien creatures landed on Earth. Instead of rural America, it is set in New York City, one of the loudest places in the world. Although much has not been revealed about the plot, as we can see from the trailer the aliens are wrecking havoc in the city. The only way the main characters can survive is to remain silent. Even though John Krasinski is not directing this film, hopefully it will be good as the first two.
