Video “NEW MONSTER MOVIE TRAILERS 2025 & 2026” was uploaded on 08/13/2025 to Youtube Channel Rapid Trailer
It'll be re-titled next week as "New Sci-Fi movie trailers 2025 & 2026".
Quetzlcoatl gonna fuk you up
Everybody stay together and then we'll split up to cover more ground. OMG, no imagination….
Everything is Over stylized, dark, blue tinted..CGI vomit
Same story, rehashed over and over, flashing lights…
My only hope is Toxie, but I'm afraid the daddy-son feel-good crap seems to be another insertion by some ahol executives or unimaginative corporate bean counters. Now if only Toxie would walk around with his son's severed head and spine using it like nunchucks for the rest of the movie. As for everything else, sigh… same motif, same monster design (bipedal humanoid), same story skeleton.
Primitive War looks like it spent its whole budget getting Rights to the "It ain't me song"
I wish they'd hurry up and……..wait for it……here it comes…..RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I'll watch anything with Peter Dinklage in it – he's a great actor – so put me down for Toxic Avenger 😉
Hollywood is so done 😂😂😂
– Primitive War: we're doing Jurassic Park in Vietnam now? With lots of "I'm so tough" screaming, stupid dialogue’s and the promise of part two? Hel no, thanks.
– Kraken: might be a little generic but for the sole reason to support the Swedish film industry, yes!
– Cold Storage: is that an "Ebola Syndrome" comedy? Comes along as another "Zombie" movie but might not be to bad.
– Predator: Badlands: we do Predator now with C3PO girlie-edition? And bigger monsters make better movie?
– The Rage: …….. yeah, fancy bear attack and stuff. Watched to much "The Revenant". Probably based on Arthur Machen's "The Terror: a Fantasy" without even knowing.
– Run: ….. from this bad Alien Invasion "Predator" rip-off and avoid the trailer as the constant damn music snippets are insanely annoying. "Ready or not … here I come" … sounds like porn.
– Do Not Enter: …. the cinema watching this unlit bad video quality images because "found footage" is still a thing, lots of stress noise with no real story. Shitty movie …. must be done, must be done, must be done….
– Reset: now I know why they showed the directors name, almost though it's a M.Knight Shayamalam film. I guess they didn't wanted people to think it's that bad.
– Osiris: Alien, Predator. If they got to do the same movie again make another "Critters".
– Monster Island: is added to "Osiris", Alien, Predator and the others.
– Xeno: E.T. 2.0 with girlboss. Just what we needed. So refreshing.
– The Twin: if you studio could have afforded some light equipment for the production and the story is not to shallow it might be worth watching.
– The Toxic Avenger: long overdue. Troma lives! one Hel of a cast. This is going to be fun.
– Omniscient Reader: Prophecy: good thing this has a different title. Almost thought I'm watching "Ganz 3". But no, it's Omniscient Ganz: Fantasy.
only bad things about this movie,, this time they used CGI instead of practical effect .. and it's a shame for predator 😢
4:54 is she a human/zombie or a synthetic ?
The fact Jurassic fart makes so much money just says all that needs to be said about the world consumer
A dinosaur movie with Jason Stackhouse is something i didnt know i needed.
8:00 Please tell me the alternate title for this movie is "Damn Nature you Scary!"
The Toxic Avenger has been out for a while
Primitive War looks like they just mixed Kong: Skull Island and Jurassic Park together. Yawn.
I'm sorry, that CGI bear or whatever it is in The Rage looks TERRIBLE
Wasn't this called 'Kong: Skull Island" a few years ago?
Thanks for the obligatory blasphemy
So fake Jurassic Park
So much shite,can`t wait to miss nearly all of it.
No thank you i can just watch the Jurassic park movies
One maybe 2, the rest…. Also several of these are old.
Is that Becky?
Why does the rage look like a sequel to the thing. That dog in the beginning look hella suspicious
Peter Dinklage as the Toxic Avenger is an interesting casting choice.
😂😂😂😂
How Stella Got Her Groot Back
Im not sure who decided that Peter Dinklage should be the Toxic Avenger, but they need help.
