Horror Highlights: COYOTES, GUTWRENCHER, YOUR HOST

COYOTES: "Aura Entertainment has announced the official release of Colin Minihan's latest feature Coyotes. Trapped in their Hollywood Hills home, a family (Long, Bosworth, Harris) must fight for survival as a pack of savage coyotes closes in. Aura will bring the star-studded indie horror comedy to Fantastic Fest on September 20, followed by a national theatrical release on October 3.

The cast is led by Justin Long (Barbarian) and Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns). The real life couple and creative partners are joined in the horror comedy by Katherine McNamara (Shadowhunters), Brittany Allen (What Keeps You Alive), Mila Harris (Mary), and Norbert Leo Butz (A Complete Unknown).

Coyotes will world premiere at Austin's Fantastic Fest on September 20. Coyotes will officially open theatrically Friday, October 3 in theaters across the country.

Ahead of the release, Minihan shared, “I read the first draft of COYOTES and started laughing out loud. It had bite. It had chaos. And most importantly, it had fun. I was sitting with Britt, flipping pages, both of us wide-eyed and saying, "Okay, this is f***ing nuts.” That’s when I knew I wanted in.

This movie is sharp, fast, and unafraid to go for the jugular and the laugh. No social media screens. No hollow metaphors. Just characters who feel real, thrown into a story that knows exactly what it is and never slows down to apologize for it."

Coyotes Openings:

• Fantastic Fest: September 20
• National Theatrical Release: October 3

Synopsis: But the real problem? Coyotes. Not the scrappy, skittish kind that dig through your garbage and steal your cat — but smart, organized, murder-flavored coyotes. Led by a scar-faced alpha with serious beef, the coyote pack starts picking off neighbors like it’s happy hour at an all-you-can-eat casino buffet. As wildfires rage on one side and a bloodthirsty canine death cult circles the other, the Stewarts — armed with nothing but a flashlight, an old iPad, and some questionable decision-making.
