Fresh off its standing ovation in Cannes, we get a new official Trailer for HER PRIVATE HELL. Elevation Pictures release July 24, 2026.
Directed by: Nicolas Winding Refn
Starring: Sophie Thatcher, Charles Melton, Havana Rose Liu, Kristine Froseth, Diego Calva, Shioli Kutsuna, Aoi Yamada, Hidetoshi Nishijima
When a mysterious mist engulfs a futuristic metropolis, unleashing a deadly and elusive entity, a troubled young woman searches for her father. Her quest collides with an American GI on a harrowing odyssey to rescue his daughter from Hell.
Our house boss said that if your boss says it’s okay, we can officially celebrate Canada Day by checking in on the country’s ultimate party animals on Pluto TV! A CANADA SHORE Season 1 Marathon on Canada Day makes perfect sense.
Soft PSA, Pluto TV is FREE. So to kick off the holiday, we asked the CANADA SHORE cast what their favorite thing in life is that costs absolutely nothing. While we can’t legally publish all of their spicy responses, a few of the roomies chimed in:
Cast Member (Christopher): “it’s stealing your friends’ drinks when they aren’t looking… Zero investment.”
Cast Member (Ethan): “Tailgating. Forget buying tickets. Go to a parking lot and get tossed with your buddies for literally any sporting event. It doesn’t even have to be sports—I’ll tailgate a Walmart.
Cast Member (Gizelle): “hanging by the pool on vacation a man paid for”
But according to Pluto TV, the absolute best thing that’s free is getting a total refresher on all the Kelowna debauchery.
Starting July 1st, Pluto TV is serving up a massive holiday marathon featuring the full Season 1 of the homegrown hit streaming completely free on the MTV Jersey Shore Channel. Consider this the ultimate chance to catch up on the drama FOR FREE (!!) before the highly anticipated launch of Season 2 hits Paramount+.
And hey, if you miss the linear marathon because you were too busy doing shots at a backyard BBQ.. don’t sweat it. We’re keeping the holiday weekend vibes alive by making episodes 1-5 available to stream on VOD through to Monday, July 6th.
WHEN: July 1st (Canada Day!) – with the VOD party continuing until July 6th.
WHERE: Pluto TV (The MTV Jersey Shore Channel)
WHAT TO WEAR: Neon club gear, oversized sunglasses, cheetah print, or your finest full double-denim Canadian Tuxedo. Obviously.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING: ✦ CANADA SHORE (Season 1 Canada Day Marathon): Revisit the breakout, unhinged summer where ten roomies completely rewrote the polite Canadian stereotype. It’s that fist-pumping, “cab is here,” total-party-animal kind of free streaming

Forced to work alongside notorious mafia hitman Greg Scarpa (Mark Wahlberg), he finds himself pulled into a deadly hunt where justice and vengeance begin to blur.
When the system is broken, two men divided by everything agree on one thing: the law has limits. They don’t.
VVS Films release BY ANY MEANS September 4, 2026.
Blending suspense, underwater thrills, and emotional character dynamics, The Devil’s Mouth delivers an immersive survival experience and fun summer adventure.
Featuring a rising young adult ensemble cast including Kathryn Newton, Lana Condor, Nico Hiraga, Gavin Casalegno and Tommi Rose, the film captures the humor and energy of college grads before plunging audiences into a fight for survival.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Thailand’s coastal caves, the film transforms a natural wonder into a claustrophobic nightmare where danger awaits around every corner.
Synopsis
Five friends set out on one last adventure along Thailand’s stunning coast, eager for a final thrill before life in the real world begins. They sign up for a guided swim through a remote cave system known as The Devil’s Mouth, a natural wonder that’s as breathtaking as it is unforgiving.
Deep inside the labyrinth of narrow waterways, their journey takes a terrifying turn when they discover that a freak storm the week before flooded the caves with sea life. The creatures died in the fresh water, but something survived… and it’s hunting them now— fast, silent, and deadly. Every corridor they round is overflowing with anxiety, and every wrong turn becomes a deadly encounter.
As panic spreads and their sense of direction slips away, the group begins to fracture. Trust erodes, fear takes over, and survival becomes a savage game. In the suffocating darkness, every choice could be their last as they learn that to make it out alive, sacrifices must be made.

This spring, SARA enters its next evolution, reopening with a tasting-menu-only format designed to deepen the restaurant’s focus on connection, storytelling, and shared dining. After a period of thoughtful refinement, the four-time Michelin Guide–recommended restaurant will welcome guests with “The Journey,” a curated seven-course tasting experience priced at $115 per guest.
Since opening in 2018, SARA has built a loyal following for its globally inspired cuisine and warm hospitality. The move to a tasting-menu-only format reflects both the restaurant’s original ethos and the way SARA’s guests have naturally chosen to experience it. Rather than navigating an “à la carte” menu, guests are invited to settle in and experience a carefully composed progression of dishes designed to be enjoyed together.
Conceptualized by Owner Adrian Niman and developed by Executive Chef Lia Caufin, the menu draws inspiration from the cultural diversity that defines Toronto, reflecting the city’s vibrant multicultural food landscape.
The experience begins with a series of playful, flavour-forward bites before moving through a progression of bold savoury courses built on unexpected combinations, all thoughtfully composed to unfold throughout the evening. Dishes will evolve throughout the year as the kitchen continues to highlight seasonal ingredients and new ideas, with select SARA favourites making a return along the way.
Guests can also opt for a curated wine pairing ($60 per person), created by SARA’s Wine Director, Merrin McHugh, designed to complement the progression of the menu. Focused on sustainable, low-intervention wines from small producers, the pairing is thoughtful and approachable, introducing something new while always staying grounded in what works best with the food.
“The tasting menu has always been at the heart of SARA,” says Adrian Niman, Founder of SARA and The Food Dudes. “By focusing entirely on that format, we can shape the experience around our guests, creating something that feels thoughtful, unpretentious, and rooted in the flavours of Toronto.”
Rather than emphasizing exclusivity, the menu focuses on thoughtful ingredients, bold flavours, and exceptional value. The goal is a curated dining experience that feels both elevated and welcoming, one that encourages guests to relax, engage with the food, and connect with the people around the table.
SARA’s physical space continues to play an important role in that experience. Designed by Odami studio, known for its contemporary work with brands such as Aesop, the 50-seat restaurant unfolds across two levels, with curved walls, textured surfaces, and warm lighting creating a sense of intimacy and movement. Upstairs, a vaulted ceiling and sweeping curved banquette encourage communal dining and conversation, reinforcing the restaurant’s philosophy that memorable meals are built around connection.
Highlights from the experience:
