While it didn’t break any box office records this year, Chris Nash’s In a Violent Nature was definitely a cultural phenomenon. Many called it an arthouse film, others said it was a spiritual cousin to Friday the 13th, a film franchise desperate for a comeback. In a recent exclusive interview with YouTuber and teenage reporter

Farley wrote and directed the upcoming found footage film that follows five people searching for a missing girl. In honor of the release, we have an exclusive look at a new poster for the
Ten years ago this month, a new found footage horror film quietly made its way onto Netflix. Little fanfare marked its arrival, but its scares were impressive, its script quietly disturbing, and its central character terrifying in all the best ways. It was The Taking of Deborah Logan, and it has earned its cult status

Quentin Tarantino, 2023. © Courtesy Everett Collection Quentin Tarantino is nothing if not an outspoken cinephile with opinions on almost everything. Tarantino is quick to heap praise on the features and filmmakers he loves. But he is equally eager to speak to his disdain for those he doesn’t. This time around, the director isn’t discussing
Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label, DREAD, presents Beezel, the tale of a sinister secret hiding beneath the floors of a cursed New England home. Beezel is now available to rent or purchase on video-on-demand (VOD).

“Johnson’s Boner can now turn into a HOTBONER! While holding aim, hold the secondary fire button to charge, then release it to deploy your sticky payload.” Were that tutorial popup to appear in literally any other video game, it might raise an eyebrow or two. Yet by the time you’ve reached the relevant juncture in
The art of the movie tagline is a slippery business. The right phrase can make the perfect tantalizing teaser, but the wrong words can undersell or even spoil the picture. Very few films have been so eloquently encapsulated as Brian De Palma’s Body Double, advertised with just six simple words: “You can’t believe everything you
If you thought Immaculate, The First Omen, and The Substance were great — do we have a classic horror movie for you! Called The Seventh Sign from 1988, this religious horror film stars a young Demi Moore as a woman who may bring about the Apocalypse. It’s currently available to rent or buy. Check out
The All Hallows’ Eve franchise, which introduced the world to the iconic slasher Art the Clown way back in 2013, is back with brand new installment All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster, now streaming on SCREAMBOX! This latest entry into the anthology franchise, which prides itself on spotlighting the hard work of the indie horror community, shines
I’d never have guessed it, but it looks as if Bloober Team’s remake of Konami’s Silent Hill 2 is actually good. As arguably the bedrock for modern survival horror, I was reasonably skeptical about the idea of updating James, Mary, Pyramid Head, and the bulk of the titular town with modern gameplay mechanics. I was
Be careful of spoilers because 1960’s Homicidal (now on Tubi) packs a gut punch in its final few minutes. In fact, the director, William Castle, known for his theatrical gimmicks, pauses the movie just minutes ahead of its climax so you can decide whether to finish it or not. It was 1960 and at the
One of this year’s scariest films can be yours! Bloody Disgusting is giving away a few copies of Damian Mc Carthy‘s Oddity on Blu-ray and DVD to three (3) lucky readers.

Coming soon from writer and director Stephanie Paris is Portraits, a modern-day adaptation of Carmilla that takes place in present-day LA against a backdrop of Victorian death photography and burlesque. A dark and atmospheric fairy tale heavily influenced by films such as The Hunger, Angel Heart, and Nosferatu, Portraits is a psychological and romantic thriller. Read the
Last month we wrote a story about Lionsgate partnering with an AI company as a creative tool for making future projects. It’s a hot-button issue that some fear reduces the need for human creatives, leaving them obsolete and jobless. Now comes news that Jason Blum, co-founder of Blumhouse, has done the same thing with an
One of the year’s most talked about horror films can be yours to own ahead of All Hallow’s Eve: In A Violent Nature is now available on DVD and Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, and Bloody Disgusting has a few copies to give to three lucky readers willing to venture into the woods. The Collector’s Edition Blu-ray
In director Timo Tjahjanto’s The Shadow Strays, there’s a method of killing the lead heroine—known only by her codename 13 (Aurora Ribero)—that acts as the film’s thesis statement. After bludgeoning her enemies with whatever sharp object happens to be closest to her, 13 repeatedly taps them for good measure, rendering their corpses into even more
If you are going to make a top 100 list of the best horror movies of all time, you’re going to get clapback, that’s just the nature of the business. Variety has been in it for almost 120 years. The entertainment business that it is. When you hear the term “the trades” as it pertains

The figures feature one of four unique Universal Monsters designs all in festive red and green colorways, secreted in blind box packaging ready for you to discover which variant

Stephen King and Mike Flanagan / photos by Josh Korngut Carrie is one of Stephen King’s most adapted stories to date. We have De Palma’s Carrie, The Rage: Carrie 2, the made for TV adaptation from 2002, and the 2013 remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz. So, I was a little surprised to learn (via Deadline)
It’s a slow time at the theater this month. Thanks partly to the actors’ and writers’ strikes and projects being pushed back or needing to be finished, 2024 is a choppy year for movies. The event movie of October, Joker 2, failed and it was up to an unrated indie horror film featuring another psychotic
The Disney+ series “Goosebumps” is coming back for a brand new second season, and the new season is titled “Goosebumps: The Vanishing.” Watch the official trailer below! “Goosebumps: The Vanishing” premieres January 10, 2025 on Disney+ and Hulu.

Day Three of Nightmares Film Festival 2024 kicked off at Gateway Film Center with a screening of the wild comedy The Invisible Raptor. I sidestepped that screening in favor of attending the live recording of the Fright Club podcast, the annual panel on the ever-shifting world of film distribution, and a writing workshop with Bram
TikTok is the most recent social media space where people post their experiences with the supernatural. The problem is you can’t always trust what you are seeing. In the pursuit of likes and comments (and money), TikTokers have been known to create compelling videos with the use of fishing lines, CGI, and AI technologies. But
Melt the rich. The new Street Trash is here and it couldn’t be more timely. Set to premiere tonight at the New Beverly Cinema (tix), Bloody Disgusting is excited to share the face-meltingly gory trailer debut for our new take on the 1987 cult classic Street Trash, which hails from Fried Barry director Ryan Kruger.
Filmmaker Parker Finn returns to deliver a fun, mean, and maddeningly inventive sequel to his surprise 2022 genre hit Smile. This time, the action feels like an intravenous drip of nonstop anxiety from concentrate … but thankfully, all the macabre mayhem is grounded by a healthy dose of pitch-black humor, something the previous chapter could
DC and Warner Bros. are probably having interesting staff Zoom calls this morning after their latest big-budget movie, Joker 2, couldn’t snatch the top spot at the box office over the weekend. Meanwhile, lunchtime at Cineverse probably includes a pizza party; their indie hit Terrifier 3 was victoria–ous. It took the number one spot earning
