Day Shift
It’s a horror comedy for the ages! Next to bat at the Geeked Week 2022 Film Showcase is Day Shift, a Jamie Foxx-led vehicle that’s all about vampires. Netflix released a first look clip that pulls back the curtain on the fanged magic. Here’s a synopsis per Netflix Media Center:
“Jamie Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international union of vampire hunters.”

BLASTED
What happens when you combine The Hangover and Hot Fuzz while tossing UFOs into the mix? You get BLASTED. From director Martin Sofiedal, this Norwegian sci-fi comedy will bring laughs and aliens in equal measure. Here’s the synopsis:
“Bros before UFOs…This sci-fi comedy is inspired by the Norwegian UFO phenomenon. Former childhood friends and local laser tag duo – Sebastian and Mikkel – reconnect later in life for the ultimate bachelor party that gets invaded by aliens. To defeat the aliens they need to rekindle their relationship to save everyone.”
BLASTED stars Axel Bøyum as Sebastian and Fredrik Skogsrud as Mikkel, and is coming soon to Netflix. Check out the official trailer.
Spiderhead
Chris Hemsworth’s next sci-fi thriller is almost nigh. Spiderhead will arrive sooner than we think, and it promises to take us on a mind-bending journey. Here’s the synopsis per Netflix Media Center:
“In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits.
In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. Until they’re not. At times, they’re a better version. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption takes a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether.”
Spiderhead stars Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett. Get ready to examine the confines of the human mind when the film hits Netflix on Friday, June 17, 2022. Watch an exclusive clip below.
The Gray Man
Hemsworth’s fellow Avenger Chris Evans also has a Netflix project on the horizon. The Gray Man, an action-thriller from the Russo Brothers, might be the streamer’s biggest flick yet. Here’s the synopsis per Netflix Media Center:
“The Gray Man is CIA operative Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), aka, Sierra Six. Plucked from a federal penitentiary and recruited by his handler, Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), Gentry was once a highly-skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death. But now the tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) has his back. He’ll need it.”
The Gray Man stars Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Regé-Jean Page, Jessica Henwick and Billy Bob Thornton. Brace yourself for the cat-and-mouse hunt of the century when the film streams on Friday, July 22, 2022. Watch an exclusive clip here.
The School for Good and Evil
Here’s a fantasy drama showcasing what it takes to become the stuff of fairytales. The School for Good and Evil brings these fairytale-esque heroes and villains into the Netflix fold. Read the synopsis per Netflix Media Center:
“In the village of Gavaldon, two misfits and best friends, Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), share the unlikeliest of bonds. Sophie, a lover of fairy tales, dreams of escaping her ordinary village life, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic, has the makings of a real witch.
Then one night under a blood red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good and Evil — where the true story of every great fairy tale begins. Yet something is amiss from the start: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, run by the glamourous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), and Agatha in the School for Good, overseen by the sunny and kind Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington).
As if navigating classes with the offspring of Cinderella, Captain Hook, and the dashing son of King Arthur (Jamie Flatters) wasn’t hard enough, according to the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne), only true love’s kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful school.
But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the rulebook entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive the fairytale first.”
The School for Good and Evil is coming soon to Netflix. Watch the official first teaser below.
