Steven Soderbergh is one of the most prolific and celebrated filmmakers of his generation.
The director’s breakthrough movie, 1989’s ‘sex, lies, and videotape‘, gave birth to the independent film movement of the 1990’s. Soderbergh would go on to helm such acclaimed films as ‘Out of Sight‘, ‘Erin Brockovich‘, and ‘Traffic‘, which earned him an Oscar for Best Director, before going on to make the popular ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘ and ‘Magic Mike‘ franchises.
Soderbergh has two movies releasing in 2025, the experimental supernatural film ‘Presence‘, which opened in theaters on January 24th, and the spy thriller ‘Black Bag‘, which stars Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, and is scheduled for release on March 14th.

Forrest Goodluck, Michael Greyeyes, and Kiowa Gordon star in ‘Blood Quantum’
Zombie movies have been around for decades, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any fresh takes to be had in the genre. As an example, writer/directer Jeff Barnaby has just given us the indie horror film ‘Blood Quantum,’ a story about a 1981 zombie outbreak in and around the Red Crow reservation in Canada.
One of the things that sets this film apart is that the First Nations characters are immune to the zombie bites, and that allows Barnaby to explore some ideas about colonialism and its legacy. But make no mistake… Barnaby delivers a bloody, scary film, as you can see from the trailer:
Barnaby has a strong cast on hand here, including Michael Greyeyes and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (both of whom write about First Nations peoples themselves) and younger stars like Forrest Goodluck and Kiowa Gordon. And to be honest, Stonehorse Lone Goeman, in his feature debut, almost steals the entire film.
Director Jeff Barnaby and stars Michael Greyeyes and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers took some time to talk with Moviefone about their film:
‘Blood Quantum’ is now available on VOD and digital platforms.

They are determined to care for her, at least until the baby arrives. Grief-stricken and increasingly haunted by visions possibly brought on by the pregnancy, Charlotte accepts their help.
