A new survival horror film titled Don't Move strands a group of church members in the Ozark wilderness where they are hunted by a giant prehistoric spider that senses vibrations. The movie, featuring Tom Cavanagh, is generating buzz as a terrifying creature feature akin to A Quiet Place meets Arachnophobia.
Creature features have been making a huge comeback in 2026. Earlier this year, Iron Lung kicked off the resurgence with its terrifying take on monster horror.
Then came Colony, another standout zombie thriller from the director of Train to Busan. And genre fans recently got their first looks at massive upcoming creature features like Godzilla Minus Zero and Hope. Now, a brand-new horror movie has just dropped its first trailer, and it’s already becoming one of the most talked-about creature features of the year.
The upcoming survival thriller drops a group of stranded church members into the middle of the Ozark wilderness, where they encounter a giant prehistoric spider that begins picking them off one by one. The creature tracks its prey through vibrations, so a single breath, footstep, or even a flinch could reveal someone's location. Put that together with the setting and the body count, and it's essentially A Quiet Place meets Arachnophobia.
The only way for the characters to survive is doing exactly what the movie is titled: Don't Move, not to be confused with Sam Raimi's 2024 thriller of the same name. A trailer just dropped yesterday, and it did a phenomenal job setting up all the key players while teasing some intense horror sequences. The biggest surprise ended up being the cast.
Tom Cavanagh, who fans will recognize as Dr. Harrison Wells from The Flash, leads a lineup that includes Lyndsy Fonseca, rapper Russell"Russ" Vitale, Hunter King, Joseph Lee Anderson, and Rob Riggle, along with some very fun cameos. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Horror Survival Quiz Which Horror Villain Do You Have the Best Chance of Surviving? Jason Voorhees · Michael Myers · Freddy Krueger · Pennywise · Chucky Five killers.
Five completely different ways to die — if you're not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against. Eight questions will figure out which one. 🏕️Jason 🔪Michael 💤Freddy 🎈Pennywise 🪆Chucky TEST YOUR SURVIVAL → QUESTION 1 / 8INSTINCT 01 Something feels wrong.
You can't explain it — you just know. What do you do?
First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty. ALeave immediately. I don't need to understand a threat to respect it. BStay quiet and observe.
If I can see it, I can understand it. If I can understand it, I can avoid it. CStay awake. Whatever this is, I am not going to sleep until I feel safe again.
DConfront it directly. Fear grows in the dark — I'd rather know what I'm dealing with. ECheck everything, trust nothing. The threat might be closer than I think — and smaller.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 8ENVIRONMENT 02 Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong? Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply. ASomewhere remote — a cabin, a campsite, off the grid and away from people.
BA quiet suburban neighbourhood where nothing ever happens. Except tonight. CIn my own head — the most dangerous place of all, depending on what's already in there. DWherever children are — because something about this place attracts the worst things.
ESomewhere ordinary — a house, a toy store, a place where the last thing you'd expect is a threat. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 8STRENGTH 03 What is your most reliable survival asset? Every survivor has a quality the villain didn't account for. What's yours?
APhysical fitness — I can run, I can swim, I can outlast something that relies on brute persistence. BSpatial awareness — I always know the exits, the hiding spots, the fastest route out. CPsychological resilience — I've faced my worst fears before. They don't have the same power over me.
DEmotional steadiness — I don't panic. Panic is what gets you caught. EScepticism — I don't underestimate threats because of how they look. Size is irrelevant.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 8FEAR 04 What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through? Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it. AThe unstoppable — something that will not stop, cannot be reasoned with, and is always getting closer. BThe invisible — a threat I can feel but can't locate, watching from somewhere I can't see.
CThe psychological — something that uses my own mind and memories against me. DThe unknowable — something ancient, shapeless, that feeds on the fear itself. EThe mundane — a threat so ordinary-looking that no one will believe me until it's too late.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 8GROUP 05 You're with a group when things start going wrong. What's your role? Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn't. AThe one who says"we need to leave" first — and means it, even when no one listens.
BThe one who stays quiet, watches the others, and figures out the pattern before anyone else does. CThe one who holds the group together when panic sets in — because someone has to. DThe one who asks the questions nobody wants to ask — because ignoring them gets people killed. EThe one who takes the threat seriously when everyone else is laughing it off.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 8MISTAKE 06 What's the horror movie mistake you're most likely to make? Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not. AGoing back for someone — I know I shouldn't, but I can't leave them behind.
BAssuming I'm safe once I've found a hiding spot. That's when it finds me. CFalling asleep when I absolutely cannot afford to. Exhaustion is its own enemy.
DLetting my curiosity override my instincts — I always need to understand what I'm dealing with. EDismissing the threat because of how it looks. That's exactly what it wants.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 8ADVANTAGE 07 What's your best weapon against something that can't be stopped by conventional means? Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it. AThe environment itself — I use the terrain, the water, the geography against it.
BPatience — I wait, I watch, and I strike at the one moment it doesn't expect. CLucidity — if I can stay in control of my own mind, it loses its primary weapon. DCourage — facing it directly, refusing to run, taking away the fear it feeds on. EImprovisation — I use whatever's at hand, however unconventional.
Creativity over brute force. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 8FINAL SCENE 08 It's the final scene. You're the last one standing. How did you make it?
The final survivor always has a reason. What's yours? AI kept moving. I never stopped, never hid for too long, never let it corner me.
BI figured out the pattern before anyone else did — and I used it against the thing following it. CI stayed awake, stayed lucid, and refused to give it the one thing it needed most. DI stopped being afraid of it. And the moment I did, everything changed.
EI took it seriously from the start — and I never once made the mistake of underestimating it. REVEAL MY VILLAIN → Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated Your Best Chance Is Against… Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.
Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th Jason Voorhees Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit. Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween Michael Myers Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it's too late for anyone who isn't paying close enough attention.
Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised. Derry, Maine · It Pennywise Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
Chicago · Child's Play Chucky Chucky's greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it's already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ The Surprising Name Behind This Terrifying Spider Horror Movie The name attached behind the scenes might be even more surprising than the cast in front of the camera.
James Murray, best known as one of the four Impractical Jokers, is a co-writer and producer on Don't Move. The film is based on his own 2020 novel of the same name, co-written with longtime collaborator Darren Wearmouth. Murray has quietly built a second career as an author away from the Jokers' cameras, publishing nine co-written books since 2018 — something his castmates never let him forget on the show.
This movie is shaping up to be yet another one of Murr’s infamous foolproof plans, and bringing that plan to a theater screen took a partner Murray has trusted for a quarter-century. Indie director Maclain Nelson, a close friend of Murray's for 25 years, took the helm to adapt the novel. Brian"Q" Quinn from Impractical Jokers is also set to appear in the movie, which has fans hoping that the rest of the Jokers could potentially join him.
Seeing Murray, Sal Vulcano, Joe Gatto, and Q all appear on-screen together once again would certainly make the movie even more special. Don’t Move is scheduled to release in theaters on September 11, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
