The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit become one feature-length version of the Sanctuary Base 6 story.

The Satan Pit Extended Cut changes how an existing Doctor Who story is assembled. It combines The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit into a single movie-length edit, returning deleted scenes to the narrative rather than leaving them as separate DVD extras. BBC Studios also identifies previously unseen extended footage. BBC Studios’ description of the extended cut and story.

The story places the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler at Sanctuary Base 6, an outpost on a planet orbiting a black hole. Something ancient beneath the surface draws the base’s crew into danger, with the Ood and the Beast part of the encounter.

David Tennant plays the Doctor and Billie Piper plays Rose. The setting gives their arrival an immediate problem of location: the TARDIS has brought them to an isolated working base beside a black hole, where the investigation extends below ground.

The cinema presentation is scheduled for November 23, 2026, with selected encore screenings on November 28. November 23 is Doctor Who Day, marking the date of the series’ first BBC broadcast in 1963. BBC Studios’ description of the extended cut and story.

Her search crosses from the edge of Portland into a conflict involving the forest’s inhabitants.

Prue McKeel enters Wildwood with a specific person to find: her baby brother, carried away by crows. His abduction takes her beyond Portland, Oregon, into the Impassable Wilderness, where the rescue becomes entangled with the future of the forest itself. LAIKA’s official film synopsis and cast details.

Her classmate Curtis Mehlberg accompanies her. Peyton Elizabeth Lee voices Prue and Jacob Tremblay voices Curtis in LAIKA’s film. Their journey takes them among talking animals, bandits, and figures whose ambitions shape what happens inside the forest.

That setting changes the scale of Prue’s problem. Finding her brother remains the reason for going in, but the territory is already caught in a conflict that threatens its inhabitants. The official synopsis connects her family’s immediate danger with that wider struggle.

Wildwood places this enchanted territory just outside a recognizable city. The boundary is geographical as well as narrative: a rescue that starts near home leads Prue and Curtis into a place with its own communities, competing interests, and stakes. LAIKA’s official film synopsis and cast details.

The journey begins as a birthday trip before the passengers’ destination becomes a question of safety.

A father and daughter board a train for a birthday journey. In Train to Busan, the outbreak that overtakes South Korea changes the purpose of that trip: reaching the destination now means trying to survive long enough to get there. Well Go USA’s official synopsis, credits, and anniversary edition.

The train creates a particular kind of confinement. It continues moving while its passengers remain trapped aboard. The premise joins a threat on the scale of a country with the much smaller space occupied by a family and the people traveling beside them.

Yeon Sang-ho directs the Korean-language film. Well Go USA’s credited cast includes Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi, Ma Dong-seok, Choi Woo-sik, An So-hee, Kim Eui-sung, and Kim Su-an.

The distributor presents the film in a tenth-anniversary remastered edition, with English subtitles. Its official press materials return to the same central situation: a familiar family errand interrupted by an outbreak, with the train serving as both transportation and a place the travelers cannot readily leave. Well Go USA’s official synopsis, credits, and anniversary edition.

A faun’s account of her identity creates a second set of demands alongside life at her stepfather’s military outpost.

Ofelia’s possible royal identity comes with conditions. In Pan’s Labyrinth, a faun tells her that she is a lost princess, but returning to the throne requires completing three dangerous tasks. The hidden world she encounters asks her to act on that claim. Fathom’s official story synopsis.

Guillermo del Toro places the story in Spain in 1944. Ofelia, played by Ivana Baquero, moves to a military outpost controlled by her stepfather, played by Sergi López. Her discovery of a labyrinth introduces the faun and the possibility of a life beyond that household.

The two settings give her different sources of authority. Her stepfather governs the outpost; the faun supplies instructions connected to the kingdom. The premise puts a child between those demands without making the discovery of another world a simple resolution.

The twentieth-anniversary presentation also changes the film’s exhibition formats. Fathom and Cineverse identify a 4K restoration and new 3D and HDR presentations overseen by del Toro, with SDFX Studios handling the stereoscopic conversion. Those are changes to how the existing film is presented, rather than a new story about Ofelia. Fathom and Cineverse’s restoration specifications.

Abigail’s growing attachment and Patrick’s doubts create the central uncertainty in Mark Heyman’s film.

Patrick and Abigail do not experience the retreat’s leader in the same way. Vertical’s description of Pendulum places Abigail increasingly under that person’s influence while Patrick becomes more fearful about what is happening. Vertical’s official character premise.

The conflict gives Patrick two things to investigate at once: the group his wife is joining and his own interpretation of it. The distributor frames his uncertainty as part of the story, without settling whether the retreat is a cult or whether his perceptions can be trusted.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Patrick and Phoebe Dynevor plays Abigail. The film is written and directed by Mark Heyman. Entract Films’ cast listing also includes Jacki Weaver and Norman Reedus. Vertical’s official character premise. Entract Films’ credits and Canadian release details.

Entract lists January 1, 2027, as its Canadian release date. The premise keeps the couple’s disagreement at the center of the horror: participation brings one person closer to the leader while making the other increasingly suspicious. Entract Films’ credits and Canadian release details.

A teacher’s attempt to help Matteo puts him in conflict with a community attached to the boy’s ability.

The residents of Remis have a weekly ritual: they embrace Matteo, a fifteen-year-old whose touch can remove their suffering. In The Holy Boy, that ability places the apparent happiness of an entire village around a single young person. Shudder’s official synopsis and production details.

Sergio arrives there as a teacher carrying difficulties from his own past. He learns that the community’s attachment to Matteo includes something more troubling than gratitude. When Sergio tries to rescue him, the villagers turn against the intervention.

The premise creates a conflict between what the group receives and what happens to the person providing it. Matteo’s supernatural ability is the condition that sustains the village’s arrangement; Sergio’s arrival threatens to interrupt it.

Paolo Strippoli directs the film, also titled La valle dei sorrisi. Michele Riondino and Giulio Feltri star. Shudder’s official materials identify it as Strippoli’s third feature, following A Classic Horror Story, co-directed with Roberto De Feo, and Piove. Shudder’s official synopsis and production details.

Bong Joon-ho’s film brings a missing child and a restricted riverbank into the same rescue problem.

The call changes what Gang-du believes has happened to his daughter. After a creature takes Hyun-seo from the Han River bank, she contacts him by phone. She is still alive, and the father who feared her dead now has a reason to search. Magnolia Pictures’ official synopsis and credits.

In The Host, the attack interrupts a familiar workplace: Gang-du runs a food stand beside the river. The creature’s emergence transforms that everyday setting into a danger zone. The authorities identify it as the possible carrier of an unknown virus, making the area where he needs to look a restricted one.

That creates two linked obstacles in Magnolia Pictures’ synopsis. Gang-du must find Hyun-seo, played by Ko A-sung, while gaining access to the place where the creature has taken her. Song Kang-ho plays Gang-du; the cast also includes Byun Hee-bong, Park Hae-il, and Bae Doo-na.

Bong Joon-ho directed and shares screenplay credit with Hah Joon-won and Baek Chul-hyun. Magnolia’s 4K rerelease materials return to this family-centered premise: the monster attack is also the beginning of a search. Magnolia Pictures’ official synopsis and credits.
