Stars: Julian Sands, Jack Parr, Arlo Carter, Erin Mullen, Kim Spearman, Alexander Arnold | Written by Andrew Prendergast, Nick Saltrese | Directed by Joachim Hedén

Notably, The Last Breath features the last performance by the late Julian Sands to reach the screen. Sadly, it’s a supporting role that doesn’t give him, or more likely his stunt double, a lot of screen time or much to do until the end of the film…

1944, somewhere off the US Virgin Islands, a German U Boat sinks the USS Charlotte. There are survivors, but where there are survivors, there are sharks. In the present, Levi (Julian Sands) has been searching for the wreck for decades, and, along with Noah he’s finally found it.

A group of Noah’s friends, Logan, Riley (Erin Mullen; Midsomer Murders), Sam who happens to be Noah’s ex, and her instantly hateable brother Brett arrive for a vacation.

Get ready to take a deep dive into terror with The Last Breath, the latest shark-infested horror film from acclaimed Swedish director Joachim Hedén. Rlje Films has just released the official trailer for this white-knuckle thriller, set to debut in select US theatres and on VOD on July 26, 2024, and 1st July in the UK and Ireland.

The Last Breath tells the harrowing tale of a group of divers who find themselves trapped in the wreckage of the USS Charlotte, a WWII battleship lost for 80 years. Their adventure begins with the excitement of a once-in-a-lifetime dive but quickly spirals into a nightmare as they realise they are not alone in the underwater labyrinth. Surrounded by great white sharks and with their air supply dwindling, the group faces a desperate fight for survival.

The narrative centres around Levi, a British expat diver played by the late Julian Sands (A Room with a View...

A luxury ocean-liner graced by generations of the rich and famous, Hms Queen Mary is now celebrated – and feared – as “One of the World’s Most Haunted Places” (Time Magazine).

Vertigo Releasing is delighted to announce that Haunting Of The Queen Mary will be released on Digital Platforms on 9th October 2023. Written and directed by Gary Shore (Dracula Untold) and from the producers of The Woman in Black, this is an ornate and deeply disturbing tale of the haunted Queen Mary ocean liner.

Synopsis:

When photographers Erin (Alice Eve) and Patrick (Joel Fry) are brought aboard the ship with their young son Lukas (Lenny Rush), they unleash a series of events that entwines their family with the ship’s dark past. As the terror unfolds around them they begin to realise there is more to this sumptuous ocean liner than meets the eye: its remarkable legacy masking violent secrets. As...

Stars: Louisa Krause, Sophie Lowe | Written and Directed by Maximilian Erlenwein

Written and directed by Maximilian Erlenwein, The Dive is an English language remake of the 2020 Swedish thriller Breaking Surface, which is basically the same story, only colder, due to it being set in northern Norway. As such, it’s an effective and engaging survival horror, not too far removed from 2022’s horror hit The Fall, which had two women stuck up a pole, as opposed to two women stuck underwater. You could also, somewhat less generously, see it as 47 Metres Down without the sharks.

Louisa Krause and Sophie Lowe play May and Drew, two sisters of a similar age, who have become semi-estranged as a result of a recent event – we assume the death of their father, though that’s never explicitly stated. Whatever the incident, May is still harbouring some resentment towards Drew (flashbacks belatedly hint at the...

Synopsis: Sisters Lisa and Kate become trapped at the bottom of the ocean when a diving expedition to observe sharks goes horribly wrong. When the cable attaching the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the sisters must figure out a way to get back to safety battling injuries, lack of oxygen, and worst of all, bloodthirsty, great white sharks.

In the heart-pounding survival thriller The Dive, directed by Maximilian Erlenwein, the true depth of human connection surfaces amidst the struggle for survival. The film portrays the complex relationship between the two protagonists, May and Drew, painting a poignant portrait of their individual personas while exploring the unbreakable bond that emerges in the face of imminent danger. As the sisters navigate the treacherous waters of isolation, the nuances of their characters come to life, breathing humanity into a narrative that oscillates between desperation and hope.

Spoilers Ahead

May

May, a figure of meticulous caution, emerges as the stoic counterbalance to her sister’s effervescence. Portrayed as aloof and rigid, May’s demeanor echoes her diligent nature. Armed with state-of-the-art gear and an arsenal of oxygen tanks, she symbolizes the archetype of preparedness. From the outset, her apprehension is palpable, as she carries the weight of not only their equipment but...

In the unforgiving terrain of survival thrillers, where humanity’s endurance is stretched to its limits, director and writer Maximilian Erlenwein’s The Dive ventures into treacherous waters with a mixture of commendable ambition and palpable shortcomings. While it treads the same waters as gripping classics like 127 Hours and 47 Meters Down, this tale of two sisters trapped in the cold embrace of the ocean falls somewhat short of making a lasting impact, often finding itself gasping for air. With a mixed bag of performances, a screenplay that occasionally springs leaks, and a submerged urgency that fails to fully surface, The Dive finds itself navigating the uncertain waters between tension and missed opportunities.

The film commences with a promise, painting a scenic yet foreboding picture of two sisters, May and Drew, venturing out for a diving expedition along Malta’s picturesque coastline. As the siblings embark on this ill-fated escapade,...

UK Sundance title ‘Scrapper’ starts out for Picturehouse Entertainment.

Take a look at more footage from "The Dive", the German-produced action thriller, directed by Maximilian Erlenwein, releasing August 25, 2023 in theaters:

“…a deep-sea diving trip at one of the world's most remote spots becomes a fight for survival for sisters ‘Drew’ and ‘May’ when a catastrophic landslide sends rocks tumbling into the sea. After being struck by the rockfall, May now lies 28 meters below the surface, trapped by debris and unable to move.

“With dangerously low levels of oxygen, it is up to Drew to fight for her sister's life. She must put her own life in jeopardy and risk paying the ultimate sacrifice. But with no help in sight, time is quickly running out....”

One briny-deep thriller that does not have sharks, other aquatic predators or even human ones, German director Max Erlenwein’s English-language “The Dive” manages to work up considerable tension nonetheless. It’s closer in gist to “127 Hours” than most other underwater suspense films, hinging on a similar type of physical entrapment — only the survivable timespan here is of course much reduced, because the imperiled characters have a limited oxygen supply.

While perhaps not quite striking enough in style or incident to leave a lasting impression, this very well-crafted remake of co-writer Joachim Heden’s 2020 Norwegian feature “Breaking Surface” should particularly impress with its underwater photography on the big screen. Most viewers, however, are likely to catch it via home formats, as Rlje Films releases the film day-and-date to digital and theater screens on Aug. 25.

Sophie Lowe and Louisa Krause as Drew and May in The Dive. Maximilian Erlenwein: 'It was crucial for me to make it as real and realistic as possible' Maximilian Erlenwein's The Dive takes the plunge with two sisters, Drew (Sophie Lowe) and May (Louisa Krause), as they head off on their annual diving trip together. The isolated location proves to be a threat, however, when May becomes trapped beneath the waves and Drew faces a race against the clock to try to save her. Shot on location in Malta and the neighbouring island of Gozo, Erlenwein was determined to keep the underwater shooting as authentic as possible, which meant both actresses had to learn how to dive. We caught up with him ahead of the film's FrightFest screening and UK release to talk about the challenges.

Do you dive yourself?

Maximilian Erlenwein: Oh, yes. I did a lot of diving when I was younger.

The “Barbenheimer” juggernaut continued rolling on at the U.K. and Ireland box office, occupying the top two slots for the fifth consecutive weekend.

Warner Bros.’ “Barbie” took pole position yet again with £2.6 million ($3.4 million), per numbers released by Comscore. With £84.7 million, “Barbie” is the highest grossing film of the year in the territory above “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” (£54.5 million) and has sped past “Titanic,” “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Top Gun: Maverick” to occupy eighth position on the all time charts. If its momentum continues, “Avengers: Endgame” is within striking distance.

Universal’s “Oppenheimer” remained in second place with £2.04 million for a total of £50.05 million, making it the third highest grosser of the year in the territory.

Warner Bros.’ superhero film “Blue Beetle” buzzed into the charts, debuting in third position with £1.1 million and in its third weekend, the studio’s “Meg 2: The Trench” remained steady...

The U.K. and Ireland box office soared to £160.7 million ($205.1 million) in July thanks to “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” according to numbers released by Comscore.

The July box office was 78% higher than June and 27% higher than July 2022. Year-to-date 2023 is currently running 4% ahead of the same period in 2022, a step up from the low of -7% in June.

After just two weeks on release, July’s highest-grossing film is Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” With a total to date of £59.6 million it has overtaken “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” (£54.5 million) to become the biggest release of the year so far. It has entered the top 25 highest-grossing films of all time in the territory, passing “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker” (£58.2 million). When compared to the two biggest post-pandemic releases, it is tracking 34% ahead of the highest-grossing film of 2022, “Top Gun: Maverick” (£44.5 million at the same point of release) and is just 1% behind 2021’s biggest title,...
