Directed by Kitao Sakurai, Street Fighter brings Capcom's legendary arcade franchise back to the big screen with a massive, nostalgic punch. Set in the early 1990s, the film follows estranged best friends Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) as they enter the brutal World Warrior Tournament, only to uncover a deadly global conspiracy behind the matches. The stacked ensemble cast features Callina Liang as Chun-Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, and Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa'i as Akuma. Fun Flix Fact: Director Kitao Sakurai incorporated distinct, beautifully animated flashback sequences created by Titmouse, Inc. to bridge the gap between classic arcade lore and gritty live-action brawls.  Fun Flix Fact: Real-life fighting game community (FGC) legends like Maximilian Dood made cameo appearances during the tournament spectator scenes to give the production an authentic stamp of approval for die-hard fans. Directed by Brian Duffield and adapted from Daniel Kraus's bestselling novel, Whalefall is a harrowing, high-stakes survival thriller. The story follows a young scuba diver named Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams) who, while searching for the remains of his estranged father Mitt (Josh Brolin) off the coast, is accidentally swallowed alive by a massive sperm whale. With only a dwindling oxygen supply, Jay faces an unimaginable battle against time, nature, and his own unresolved family ghosts. Fun Flix Fact: Director Brian Duffield utilised state-of-the-art practical set builds and claustrophobic interior sound design to physically immerse the audience in the squishy, dark nightmare of the whale's interior without relying entirely on green screen.  To celebrate a decade since the culmination of the original live-action cinematic franchise, we are looking back at Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). Bringing Milla Jovovich's Alice back to where it all began in Raccoon City, this entry leans hard into breakneck editing, post-apocalyptic set pieces, and a frantic race against time to release the airborne antivirus. Anniversary CornerTo celebrate five years since its release, we are looking back at Simon McQuoid’s Mortal Kombat (2021). Introducing Lewis Tan as original MMA fighter Cole Young alongside iconic franchise heavyweights like Joe Taslim’s chilling Sub-Zero and Hiroyuki Sanada’s vengeful Scorpion, this reboot leaned hard into R-rated fatalities and brutal world-building, setting a new bar for modern gaming adaptations. Hidden GemFor our Hidden Gem this week, we dig into the brilliant web-series-turned-feature Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist (2014). Created by Joey Ansah and Christian Howard (who also stars as Ken), this project serves as the ultimate thematic companion and precursor to this week's Street Fighter main feature. Focusing on the early training days of Ryu and Ken under their master Gouken, it strips away Hollywood gloss to deliver arguably the most faithful, respectful martial arts adaptation ever put to screen.Fun Flix Fact: Co-creator Joey Ansah spent years researching and pitching the project specifically to correct the mistakes of previous cinematic adaptations, focusing entirely on authentic Shotokan karate principles.And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

We are tackling seven massive, wildly diverse releases spanning terrifying psychological horrors, high-stakes political thrillers, sweeping South Korean mystery features, and gritty historical epics. Plus, we step back a decade for our Anniversary Corner to revisit one of modern horror’s finest supernatural sequels. Grab a cuppa and settle in! Directed by Rob Savage, Other Mommy is a psychological horror film starring Jessica Chastain. When a mother relocates her family to escape her past, her young daughter begins to realise that a terrifying, malevolent entity has taken on her mother's exact face, leading to a nail-biting exploration of maternal paranoia and doppelgänger dread.Adapted from Colleen Hoover's bestselling psychological thriller and directed by Michael Showalter, Verity stars Sydney Sweeney as Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired to complete the remaining books of injured bestselling author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway). While sorting through Verity's chaotic studio, Lowen uncovers an unpublished, deeply chilling autobiography that reveals horrifying secrets about the Crawford family.Directed by Na Hong-jin, Hope is a colossal South Korean sci-fi mystery thriller starring Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Michael Fassbender, and Alicia Vikander. Set in a remote, isolated harbour town, the residents find themselves fighting for survival against an inexplicable, terrifying presence that lands on their shores, resulting in an epic, atmospheric masterclass in tension.Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Digger is a satirical dark comedy-drama starring Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an aging oil tycoon whose massive drilling operations set off a global environmental disaster. Featuring an incredible ensemble cast including Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, and John Goodman, the film explores the absurd, high-stakes collision between corporate power and ecological collapse.Directed by David Ayer, Heart of the Beast is an intense survival adventure thriller starring Brad Pitt alongside J.K. Simmons. Set deep within the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog find themselves in a brutal fight for survival against the elements after a catastrophic plane crash strands them miles away from civilization.Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, The Social Reckoning is a blistering, dialogue-driven drama that pulls back the curtain on the modern tech landscape. Starring Mikey Madison as whistleblower Frances Haugen alongside Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, the film chronicles the high-stakes fallout as insiders expose the social media giant's most guarded secrets.Directed by Paul Greengrass, the historical action drama The Uprising stars Andrew Garfield alongside Jamie Bell, Thomasin McKenzie, and Cosmo Jarvis. Set during the turbulent 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England, the film brings Greengrass’s signature, visceral docudrama style to medieval history, following a rebellion of commoners taking on the crown to demand freedom and justice.And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

Directed by Zach Cregger, Resident Evil strips away years of cinematic bloat to deliver a pure, pulse-pounding survival horror experience. The film follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), an unassuming medical courier who takes on one last delivery to Raccoon General Hospital on a fateful, snowy night. Unwittingly thrust right into the periphery of the infamous Raccoon City outbreak, Bryan has to navigate a living nightmare of mutated horrors armed with very little survival instinct and a whole lot of panic. Fun Flix Fact: Director Zach Cregger intentionally designed the film to take place concurrently with the events of Resident Evil 2 in an alternate contemporary timeline, focusing entirely on an ordinary civilian perspective rather than a hyper-trained special agent. Fun Flix Fact: Test screenings originally featured a few more moments of dark humour, but Cregger actively trimmed them down to ensure the atmosphere remained relentlessly claustrophobic and terrifying. Next up, we are exploring Aleshea Harris’s critically acclaimed feature directorial debut, Is God Is. Adapted from her own award-winning play, this Southern Gothic revenge thriller follows twin sisters Racine (Kara Young) and Anaia (Mallori Johnson)—both marked by severe burn scars from a childhood fire—as they embark on an epic, mythic cross-country quest to hunt down the father who tried to destroy them. Boasting an incredible ensemble cast including Vivica A. Fox, Sterling K. Brown, and Janelle Monáe, it is a visually arresting, genre-blending masterpiece. Fun Flix Fact: Director Aleshea Harris wanted to deliberately celebrate and validate the complex, righteous anger of her protagonists without softening their edges for mainstream palatability, keeping the tone fiercely loyal to the stage production's theatrical bite. To celebrate a decade since the culmination of the original live-action cinematic franchise, we are looking back at Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). Bringing Milla Jovovich's Alice back to where it all began in Raccoon City, this entry leans hard into breakneck editing, post-apocalyptic set pieces, and a frantic race against time to release the airborne antivirus. And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!
