M-Square Pictures was founded 2014 in Mannheim, a city which is – unusual among German cities – laid out in a grid pattern, leading to its nickname “Quadratestadt” (“City of Squares”). Inspired by this fact, the name M-Square was chosen for our label for Horror, Mystery and Crime movies and series. The producers and directors of M-Square Pictures (short: M-Square) movies come from all over the world, and what unites the movies is the mysterious and shocking ambience the audience is led into. May it be in India, Antarctica, Russia or just in a depressing situation somewhere around us – one of the main questions is: “Will the leading actors still escape or is it too late…?”
The following feature films with scary, murderous, sometimes bloody, conspiratorial and / or occasionally funny acts have been published on the film label M-Square Pictures:

In addition to the current films, UCM.ONE also publishes selected film classics from past directors under the name M-Square Classics. Before they are physically and digitally re-launched, the films are resampled, restored and digitized. In addition, great value is placed on additional materials, which can either come from the time of first publication or are newly created. Not infrequently, new interviews with participants from back then are also being included.
