Don't Breathe
For his Evil Dead follow-up, director Fede Alvarez ups the creep factor several hundred notches. Dubbed the best American horror film in 20 years, three teens scout out a blind man for an easy robbery, but of course they were wrong and he turns out to be the most terrifying man on the planet. As the trailer implies, it's pretty f'd up. Starring Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang, the film is set to hit theaters August 26, 2016.

Most Olympic sports are rather self-explanatory — cross the finish line first, be the most accurate, do more flips with less mistakes than your opponent. But fencing is a completely different story. The sport happens so fast, and the rules are so arcane, that a layperson has hardly any idea of what is happening or why. Vox gives you a brief primer on fencing, its history, and how the rules work for the three different events.

Vita Coco Treats
Launched last April, Vita Coco Treats is a new coconutmilk beverage crafted for those moments when you're in the mood for something light, sweet, and satisfying. Combining the flavors of creamy coconut and sweet strawberries, Vita Coco Treats offers a refreshingly indulgent drink. Instead of flooding "influencers" with free products as promotion, they brought the product to the people this Valentine's Day in the form of a DIY vending machine. Set up in Washington Square Park, New York, it dispensed free Strawberries & Crème Treats to passersby, leading to long lines and an overwhelming response. This fun, natural experience is much like the drink itself, which has ingredients you can pronounce and is likely to leave a smile on your face.
