RLJE Films’ most recent action horror movie Arcadian will soon be available for streaming, after over two months since its theatrical release. The film is led by Oscar winner Nicolas Cage as a father trying to survive the post-apocalyptic world with his twin sons, after most of humankind has been wiped out by monsters.
Per Screen Rant, AMC’s horror-centered streaming service Shudder has announced that Arcadian will officially be part of its upcoming movie slate for July. The film will be available for streaming on Shudder, starting on Friday, July 12. Since making its debut last April, the film has maintained a Certified Fresh rating of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the movie for the lead cast’s strong performances. Despite receiving favorable reviews, it failed to make a strong impression on moviegoers, as it currently has a low audience score of 55%.

National Treasure 3 Gets Disappointing Update From Nicolas Cage
Actor Nicolas Cage gives a blunt response when asked for an update on Disney’s long-gestating National Treasure 3.
Arcadian was directed by director Ben Brewer from a screenplay written by Michael Nilon. In addition to Cage, the film also stars Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) as Thomas, Jaeden Martell (It movies, Knives Out) as Joseph, Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) as Charlotte, and Joe Dixon (The Mummy Returns) as Mr. Rose, with Samantha Coughlan, Daire McMahon, and Joel Gillmna. The film was produced by Cage and Nilon, who have been collaborating with each other since 2014. They also worked together on Lionsgate’s meta comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which featured Cage playing a version of himself.
The official synopsis for Arcadian reads, “In the near future, life on Earth has been decimated. Paul and his twin teenage sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. When the sun sets, ferocious creatures of the night awaken and consume all living souls in their path. One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sundown, Paul chooses to leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him before the creatures arrive. Just as he finds his boy, a nightmarish battle ensues and Paul is gravely wounded. Now the twins must devise a desperate plan for surviving the coming night and use everything their father has taught them to keep him alive.”

Nicolas Cage’s Next Buzzy Horror Movie
After starring in Arcadian, Cage has another major horror project lined up this year in the form of NEON’s serial killer movie Longlegs, which currently has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews. Ahead of its July 12 release, the film is also receiving positive reviews from critics, who are calling it one of the best horror movies of the year. In a previous interview, Cage teased his mysterious character, who he believes will definitely have an impact on the audiences once they’ve seen him.
“Forget about the movie theater blowing up; the whole city could blow up, nay the country, maybe even the world,” Cage said. “He is going to change your reality. Your doors of perception are going to open, and your life is not going to be the same.”
Arcadian debuts on Shudder on July 12.
