Streaming this weekend we've got an exclusive look at the Danny Trejo horror movie, Murder in the Woods. Centered on a group of college friends who plan a getaway to celebrate a birthday party at a desolate cabin in the woods. Against his grandmother's (Soledad St. Hilaire) demands, Jesse (José Julián), a loner-type decides to go on a trip with his friends. He is immediately smitten with Fernanda (Jeanette Samano), a sweet girl from Chicago whom he hasn't seen in years. She is in town visiting her loudmouth cousin, Chelsea (Chelsea Rendon), who is ready to celebrate her birthday and plans to let loose with her boyfriend Gabe (Jordan Diambrini). Tagging along at the last second are Jule (Kade Wise), the class clown pothead, and the very out-of-his-league Celeste (Catherine Toribio). Soon after arriving to the mysterious cabin in the woods, the group of teens discover the dark secret it holds,...

Movie theaters have reopened in the U.S. Be that as it may, many people still don't seem quite ready to return to theaters just yet. What that means for the future is up in the air. What it means for the present is that streaming is the way to go. Luckily, this week brings no shortage of options for those in search of a new movie to watch.

Lionsgate is bringing a would-be theatrical release to premium VOD this week, while Netflix has released a new drama starring Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson. We also have an under-the-radar acclaimed thriller, a horror flick with Danny Trejo and much more. Here are this week's streaming selections.

Premiering at drive-ins and theaters across the United States today is Murder in the Woods, a Latino-led horror movie that pays homage to slasher classics, while not leaning into character stereotypes. I recently had a chance to catch up with director Luis Iga Garza who talked about the journey to get this film on the big screen, the importance of Latino representation in the movie, and more:

Murder In The Woods is coming to theaters and drive-ins nationwide next Friday, August 14th. It’s a slasher film centered on a group of college friends who plan a getaway to celebrate a Birthday party at a desolate cabin in the woods. Having won 9 awards and selling out all screenings during its festival run, Murder in the Woods is a horror film for a mainstream audience but the cast and crew are all latinx and they’re not portrayed in stereotypical roles. Here’s the trailer:

"Killer's in the house!" Rezinate Pics has unveiled a trailer for an indie horror film called Murder in the Woods, which is finally releasing this fall after first premiering a few years ago. This "cabin in the woods" horror is about a group of teens who arrive at a mysterious cabin and soon discover the dark secret it holds, which forces them to fight for their lives. Director Luis Iga explains his intentions: "This film showcases the talents of our young diverse cast and I'm proud to say that we have made the first 'All American Slasher' with a full diverse cast in non-stereotypical roles." This stars José Julián, Jeanette Samano, Chelsea Rendon, Catherine Toribio, Kade Wise, Jordan Diambrini, Soledad St. Hilaire, and Rolando Molina, plus Danny Trejo as Sheriff Lorenzo. In my opinion, it looks especially unoriginal and redundant. Here's the first official trailer (+ posters) for Luis Iga's Murder in the Woods,...
