We are really starting off this new year with good horror:Takashi Shimizu, the director of The Grudge, returns with a trailer for his newest film, Immersion, which looks incredibly prescient and haunting. There’s also a trailer for Wolfkin, which looks like my new favorite werewolf film. Don’t forget that The Bad Batch comes out today! Get to your stations, spoilers ahead!

A deadly mist blankets the Earth in the trailer for Cora, the latest film from Sonny Laguna & Tommy Wiklund (Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich) starring Felicia Rylander, Thomas Lennon and Michael Paré.
Wolfkin
A single mother fears her violent son could become a werewolf in the trailer for Wolfkin.
Immersion
We also have a teaser trailer for Immersion, the latest horror film from Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge) in which “mysterious deaths befall employees of a VR-tech company. There’s an unprecedented fear waiting between reality and the virtual world…”
Superman & Lois
Jon Cryer confirmed he wasn’t asked back to play Lex Luthor in Superman & Lois season three.
And for the record, the folks at DC were very cool and gave me a heads up that the show was going a different way with character before they started looking.
Most of the time, actors learn about this stuff when it comes out in the trades. I’m grateful they were classy about it.
