If the servers come back online, I will redirect them back. If not, I shall be looking for alternate web servers shortly.

Three blood-curdling new horrors are set for their UK premiere – killer cult slasher LURE comes to Digital on 2 February 2026 courtesy of Reel2Reel Films followed by Miracle Media’s psychological thriller BARE SKIN on Digital 23 February and creature feature GOD OF FROGS hops on to digital 2 March.
LURE
At the centre of the carnage is Islay (Silvia Presente – Outlander, Nolly), a wealthy, ruthless heiress to a twisted family fortune. Believing her bloodline must be preserved at any cost, she curates a shortlist of six seemingly eligible bachelors, each selected for their suitability to father her future heir and continue her family’s lineage.
Under the guise of an extravagant birthday celebration, she invites the unwitting victims to her remote ancestral estate, but the guests are unaware of the horrific and gruesome games that await them.
With escape impossible, each man is tested to their very limits and must decide how far they are willing to go to survive and whether winning is even worth the cost. As the estate becomes a bloody battleground, alliances crumble and desperation takes hold, as it becomes increasingly clear that not everyone will make it out alive.
Drugged, branded and far away from civilisation, they are put to the ultimate test as they attempt to claw their way to victory… and survival.
Twisted, stylish and bloody, Lure promises to entice with a night of terror that lingers long after dawn.

BARE SKIN
A darkly intimate anthology, BARE SKIN weaves together six unsettling and emotionally charged stories all converging on one unforgettable night of confrontation, confession and reckoning. A group of individuals are all haunted by horrific events and seek counsel and community in therapy sessions. Together they re-live the horrors that were forced upon them when their guards were down and are encouraged to participate in exercises designed to dismantle emotional defences and foster recovery.
But with every confession the line between healing and harm begins to blur and what starts as catharises soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As the session unfolds a deeply unsettling truth emerges as these individuals may not be connected by coincidence alone. As hidden links between their experiences come to light, it becomes clear their pasts are entangled in ways none of them anticipated.
Trapped within a therapeutic process that has taken a deeply troubling turn, they are forced to confront not only their own trauma, but the people and systems that shaped it.
BARE SKIN peels back the layers exposing the raw nerve that lies beneath in this unflinching, claustrophobic and relentlessly tense chiller.

GOD OF FROGS
Directed by Adrian Bobb and Ali Chappell, the fearsome film weaves a quarter-century ritual into the fate of one fractured family and reveals how ancient hunger can echo across decades.
Spanning four decades, it charts the reawakening of an eternal monster every 25 years, each emergence marked by bloodshed, corruption and catastrophic consequence.
The nightmare begins in 1969 deep within a secluded riverside cult where a young woman, Lilith (Chappell), becomes the unwilling vessel for an inhuman creature following a ritual encounter with a grotesque frog-like entity worshipped as a god. What follows is a pregnancy from hell, culminating in a visceral birth that costs Lilith her life. Thus begins a recurring haunting that sees the vanishing of a film crew in 1994, a politician’s shocking on-air death in 2019 and the fiery collapse of a powerful corporation in 2044, with each tale bound together by the same ancient hunger.
Across time, only the monster endures; along with the human bloodline forever entangled in its cycle of feeding and rebirth.
Blending cult horror, found-footage unease and satirical commentary on power and exploitation, GOD OF FROGS delivers a grim, imaginative vision of how belief can rot into monstrosity.
On Digital 2 March from Miracle Media
