“They want your shelter, your food, your water, your sanity.” Aura Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for a film called Coyotes, a wild horror comedy made by genre filmmaker Colin Minihan (of Grave Encounters, What Keeps You Alive). This is premiering at Fantastic Fest 2025 coming up later this month before it opens in October. Trapped in their Hollywood Hills home, a family fights for survival when caught between a raging wildfire and a pack of savage coyotes. Starring real-life couple Justin Long and Kate Bosworth as the trapped family’s parents. Their performances underline the dual nature of the nightmare they are living—how human bonds are tested under extreme pressure and how strong one’s primal survival instinct can be. The fest adds: from “Colin Minihan, the mind behind Grave Encounters, Coyotes combines the claustrophobic dread of home invasion with brutal eco-horror, sugarcoated with [funny] situations. The film’s atmospheric intensity, tight pacing, and escalating stakes channel the distinctive unpredictability of nature gone rogue and the disastrous consequences of the forced displacement of wildlife.” Also co-starring Katherine McNamara, Brittany Allen, Mila Harris, & Norbert Leo Butz. This looks bonkers! Enjoy.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Colin Minihan’s thriller film Coyotes, direct from YouTube:
“The darkness has teeth.” When a scorching wildfire hits the Hollywood Hills, a family (Justin Long and Kate Bosworth) is stranded as their neighborhood is destroyed and their home becomes a blazing prison. What begins as an intimate domestic drama quickly escalates into a pulse-pounding survival thriller as a pack of predatory coyotes disoriented by the fires tighten their perimeter around the house. Rendered powerless by collapsing roads and no electricity, the family must rely on their courage, resilience & love for one another to survive both the inferno and snarling threat outdoors. Coyotes is directed by American genre filmmaker Colin Minihan, formerly of the Vicious Brothers, director on the films Grave Encounters, Extraterrestrial, It Stains the Sands Red, and What Keeps You Alive previously. The screenplay is written by Tad Daggerhart & Nick Simon; from a story by Tad Daggerhart, Daniel Meersand, Nick Simon. With music by Brittany Allen. Produced by Ford Corbett, James Harris, Joshua Harris, Nathan Klingher, and Jib Polhemus. This is premiering at Fantastic Fest 2025 in Austin, TX this month. Aura Ent. will then release Minihan’s Coyotes in select US theaters starting October 3rd, 2025 coming up this fall. Who’s interested?
