From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a gripping dark romance about a villain and his irresistible new obsession.
I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.
In this riveting dark fantasy debut, a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy—and the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past.
“What is it you think you’re protecting in that brain of yours? The war is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There’s no one left for you to save.”
Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner—of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed.
In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers, whose vile undead creatures helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive.
According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit?
To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena’s fight—to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self—is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own . . . secrets Helena must unearth, whatever the cost.
The lead duo here is the hook before you even get to the plot. Mike Ferguson brings the veteran action presence. Twana Barnett comes from professional wrestling, where physical credibility and intensity are the job. Put them into a hostile crime-thriller setup and you know the story is going to lean hard into survival energy.
They play Vincent and Maya, two criminals trying to retire. Their boss Dante (Levee Duplay) takes Maya hostage and forces a final heist. The crew around them includes Lana (LeeAnne Bauer), Tommy (Trent James), Jack (Cody Cowell), and Sean (Tyler James). It’s set in the Los Angeles criminal underworld, where trust gets expensive fast.
Director David M. Parks has said the film was built as character-driven action that stays grounded and visceral. That’s a clear statement about tone. The runtime is about 80 minutes, so it’s designed to move.
The trailer’s surge to nearly 400,000 views in the week after the streaming release tells you the title is getting clicked on out in the wild, not just sitting quietly on a page.

The special edition DVD of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within can keep you occupied for hours. The first disc includes two feature-length commentaries. The first was recorded by co-director Motonori Sakakibara, sequence supervisor Hiroyuki Hayashida, sets and props lead artist Tatsuro Maruyama, and Phantom supervisor Takao Noguchi the day after the film was finished. They speak Japanese so you might have to read subtitles, but it’s fun to hear them laugh as they enjoy the film.
The second commentary, which is less giddy and more informative (and in English), is by animation director Andy Jones, editor Chris S. Capp, and staging director Tani Kunitake, who discuss technical elements of the animation, notes on the casting, and subtle details you might not have noticed. There’s also an isolated version of the powerful score with infrequent but interesting comments from composer Elliot Goldenthal, and 11 scenes (81 minutes total) that alternate among storyboard, rough animation, and final film, with optional filmmaker commentary or subtitled factoids.
The bulk of the second disc is a 30-minute making-of documentary supplemented by numerous easy-to-find Easter eggs. There are also profiles of the seven major characters (including personal background, as well as voice actor and lead animator info), sketches and explications of three of the film’s vehicles, DVD-ROM content, and an editing tool that allows the viewer to rearrange parts of the council-conference scene and play them back. Even the menu intros are interesting to watch! –David Horiuchi
“BLACKOUT” has moved into the market with a clean, current release and immediate visibility.
When a story centers on nuclear fallout, the obvious threat is the disaster itself. The more interesting threat is what it does to people when the usual guardrails vanish. “BLACKOUT” leans into that pressure, where every decision is made with limited information and even fewer “good” options. The alliance at the center of the film isn’t a feel-good twist. It’s survival logic, and survival logic is never clean.
The film was released on January 27, 2026 and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. The release has already been supported by a Screen Anarchy exclusive clip, along with coverage from FOX 5, expanding awareness beyond core genre audiences.
Produced by Rad Cine Films, Vista Films, and OhSeek Productions, “BLACKOUT” is co-written and co-directed by David M. Parks and LeeAnne Bauer. The cast includes Mike Ferguson, Twana Barnett, LeeAnne Bauer, Tyler James, Vu Mai, and Omar Moustafa Ghonim.
A post-apocalyptic thriller built around survival under nuclear fallout conditions, the story follows two military veterans whose civilian life is destroyed by crisis, forcing an unexpected alliance with a potential enemy as danger closes in.

Dracula keeps finding new ways to show up in horror, and Dracula Eternal is the latest entry to officially hit streaming. Released on January 15, the film is now available on Apple TV and other platforms.

Ferguson’s name will be familiar to genre fans who track modern horror and indie releases, while the rest of the cast brings experience from television and film across different corners of the industry.
Behind the camera, cinematographer David Mitch Parks continues creative partnerships formed on earlier projects, reconnecting with cast members from films like When It Rains in LA and Porterville.
Now streaming, Dracula Eternal joins the long line of Dracula reinterpretations that shift the myth into contemporary settings, alongside modern takes that reframe classic monsters for today’s audiences.
