Sam Raimi-Produced Horror Movie ‘Don’t Move’ Finds a Home at Netflix

Nicolas Cage takes charge when one of his sons doesn’t make it back by sunset in an exclusive new clip for upcoming creature feature Arcadian. The clock is ticking when the world has been invaded by creatures that hunt at night.

Arcadian arrives in theaters this Friday, April 12, 2024. After the film’s theatrical release, it’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later this year.

In Arcadian, which looks to take a page out of the Quiet Place playbook, “After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.”

The creature feature has been rated “R” by the MPA for “Bloody images.”

Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven).

Jaeden Martell (IT 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star in the upcoming Arcadian alongside cinema icon Nicolas Cage.

Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven). Producers include David Wulf, Braxton Pope, Nicolas Cage, Mike Nilon, Arianne Fraser, Delphine Perrier.

I reviewed Arcadian for Bloody Disgusting out of SXSW. I wrote, “Playing like a cross between a poignant coming-of-age story and intense survival horror, Arcadian does just enough to set itself apart from similar fare. However, its ultimate appeal and magic lie in the inventive monster designs and the thrilling action set pieces they inspire.”

RLJE’s Mark Ward hypes, “Michael Nilon’s script deftly balances between the riveting thrills of a creature feature and the hopeful heart at the core of Paul’s family, played to perfection by Cage, Martel, and Jenkins.”

In the exclusive clip below, Joseph (Jaeden Martell) returns home late just as the sun is setting, signaling the impending arrival of nightly visitors. Joseph’s dad (Cage) frantically demands to know where his brother, Thomas (Jenkins), is and takes charge accordingly.

Time is of the essence in Arcadian and it’s out this Friday.
