Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits, starting with Roland, played by Kevin Hart. He’s a seasoned mercenary on a mission. Next is Tiny Tina, played by Ariana Greenblatt, a feral pre-teen demolitionist. Tina’s musclebound protector, Krieg, played by Florian Munteanu, is next. Tannis, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, is the oddball scientist who’s seen it all. And Claptrap, played by Jack Black, is the wiseass robot.

Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets.

The universe’s fate could be in their hands, yet they’ll fight for something more: each other.

Eli Roth has written and directed many films. Some of his movies include:

You may consider Lisa Frankenstein the funniest, goriest undead romance seen all year. 

Surviving high school is hard enough on its own—add in the trauma of your mom, an axe-murdered, in your living room, and it becomes virtually impossible to cope. 

Just ask Lisa Swallows, played by Kathryn Newton, the awkward 17-year-old trying to adjust to a new school and life after her mother’s demise and her father’s hasty remarriage. 

Despite the unwavering support offered by plucky cheerleader step-sister Taffy, played by Liza Soberano, Lisa only finds solace in the abandoned cemetery near her house. She finds her commonality with a young man who died in 1837, tending his grave.

But everything changes one dark and stormy night in the fall of 1989. After being humiliated, Lisa makes a desperate and heartfelt wish—to be with the young man in the world beyond. When a monstrous-looking corpse, played by Cole Sprouse, turns up the following evening, Lisa realizes a cosmic misunderstanding happened. 

Still, she feels obligated to help the poor soul regain his humanity, and she embarks on a quest to breathe new life into her long-dead companion. All she needs to succeed are some freshly harvested body parts and Taffy’s broken tanning bed.

Sometimes the hero you are lies just beneath the surface.

This summer, DreamWorks Animation dives into the turbulent waters of high school with a hilarious, heartfelt action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that she’s part of a legendary royal lineage of mythical sea krakens and that her destiny, in the depths of the oceans, is bigger than she ever dreamed.

Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman, voiced by Lana Condor, is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High but mostly feels invisible.

She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush, voiced by Jaboukie Young-White, who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom, voiced by Toni Collette, has forbidden Ruby from ever getting in the water.

But when she breaks her mom’s #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother, voiced by Jane Fonda, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.

The Krakens have sworn to protect the world’s oceans against the vain, power-hungry mermaids. One significant and immediate problem: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea, voiced by Annie Murphy, is a mermaid. Ruby must ultimately embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.
