Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, the long-awaited fifth installment in the beloved series, premieres in select theaters this August, and today we have the first official trailer. In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech

I went into Mockbuster expecting to laugh at a studio. I came out having to sit with the fact that I have spent years making jokes about films without once thinking about the person who had fifteen minutes to shoot a seven-page scene. That is the trick of Anthony Frith’s documentary, and it works because

We’ve had it good this summer. Between Obsession kicking the season off and Evil Dead Burn igniting our holidays, this has been the certified Summer of Horror (just as the box office). As the season slows down and we head into the Fall, we’ve all got one thing on our minds – Halloween. So, as

A stuffed animal sits in a cold bathtub. Its belly has been opened and the cotton pulled out and replaced with rice. Red thread crosses the seam and winds around the arms and throat. The lights are off. Somewhere down the hall a person counts to ten with their eyes shut, holding salted water, waiting

“Looks like we’re all gonna get cursed!” Takashi Shimizu has been a formative name in Japanese horror for over two decades, and the rare case of a filmmaker who also directed his American remakes. Takashi Shimizu, first and foremost, knows how to tell a ghost story. However, his latest film, The Mouths: A Survey on

The first teaser for Mike Flanagan’s Carrie does not lead with blood. It leads with a girl trying to work out why she was chosen. “All I ever wanted was to go to school. I never did anything to you,” Summer H. Howell’s Carrie White says in voiceover, addressing the classmates who turned her into

Marvel Studios just dropped the biggest bombshell of San Diego Comic-Con. After years of rumors, fan campaigns, playful teases, and Ryan Gosling himself openly expressing interest in the role, it’s finally official: Ryan Gosling is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Johnny Blaze! Even more exciting, Marvel Studios confirmed that Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) will

AMC Global Media returned to San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, where it debuted the first footage from its upcoming mystery thriller YAGA and confirmed the series will premiere on AMC+ this October.  The eight-episode, half-hour drama stars Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix), Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek, The Vampire Lestat), Clark Backo (Letterkenny), and Hudson Williams in

“No Rest for the Wicked”Credit: Kasper Kalle What danger lurks in the mist? It’s an age-old question explored by horror lovers, whose answer comes forth fearfully and sensually in No Rest for the Wicked. Set in the Faroe Islands, this 19th-century tale directed by Kasper Kalle tells the story of Baldur (Egor Venned), a fatherless

Revenge is a dish best served cold… and violently bloody. The next most satisfying tale of vengeance, “Penny Lane is Dead,” from writer/director Mia’kate Russell, made its international premiere at Fantasia Festival’s 30th annual edition. Australia. Summer. 1986. Penny Lane (Bailey Spalding; “Scrublands” TV series) just got accepted in a prestigious university and is ready

Get ready to sink your fangs into more of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, because Variety reports that AMC Studios has announced season four at SDCC, titled Queen of the Damned. The news arrives ahead of the season three finale this Sunday for The Vampire Lestat. As I’m sure you can guess by the

In 2022, AMC launched Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe with an adaptation of the author’s most iconic novel, Interview with the Vampire. After two critically acclaimed seasons, the series moved on to Rice’s second novel, The Vampire Lestat, for its third season, even changing its title to reflect the story it was telling. Now, just days

EXCLUSIVE: If movies like Fall make your palms sweat, you’ll want to keep an eye on Zip Wire. Dread Central is exclusively debuting the first trailer for the upcoming survival thriller ahead of its World Premiere at FrightFest in London on August 30. Directed by Howard J. Ford (The Dead) and written by Tom Boyle

Marcus Slabine, director of The Dark Offerings (2021), has released the trailer for his new movie Sundown. The trailer just premiered this past month at Mad Monster Party in Arizona and immediately sparked excitement in the horror community. You may recognize Slabine’s name. The director has been attached to many recently successful titles, including; Stream,

Lights Out is terrifying. David F. Sandberg’s adaptation of his short film (which you can watch below) took the world by storm when it was released in theaters on July 22, 2016. This was slumber party, packed megaplex horror at its best – a communal experience that delighted in scaring the audience silly. It’s no

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil trailer landed this morning, and the first surprise is how little it resembles the Resident Evil movies you already have opinions about. No trench coats. No hero sliding across a floor firing two guns at once. The camera stays low and close on Austin Abrams, playing a medical courier named Bryan,

I really wanted to like Red River Métis director Tim Riedel’s debut Ancestral Beasts, which had its World Premiere at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival after first appearing at the 2025 Cannes Festival as a Frontieres Platform Project. There’s considerable talent backing the project, and considerably more intrigue in its singular approach to intergenerational trauma

Original article published September 20, 2019 Sea Fever — which played at the Toronto International Film Festival as part of their Discovery program — is a captivating exploration of the horrific unknown of our natural world. Both beautiful and terrifying, think The Thing at sea; otherworldly entities and a seeping paranoia flow through Sea Fever in waves, knocking the film’s

For decades, fans of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood have lamented one of horror’s greatest lost treasures: John Carl Buechler’s notoriously bloodier original cut, which was heavily trimmed after repeated battles with the MPAA before the film’s 1988 release. While bits and pieces of those deleted kills have surfaced over the years

The worst moment in the Other Mommy trailer happens over a pot of pasta. Jessica Chastain, home on her lunch break, stands at the stove and asks her eight-year-old daughter whether she can go inside her heart. The kid does not scream. She goes still, the way children go still when an adult they love

As I was walking to the premiere of Penny Lane Is Dead at Fantasia International Film Festival last night, an attendee I had met earlier this week warned me I was in for a brutal watch. I tend to take these warnings with a grain of salt since I’ve been told certain films are brutal

Five legendary genre stars share the screen for the first time in Laszlo Illes’ dark fairy tale nightmare, coming exclusively to U.S. and Canadian theaters through Level 33 Entertainment. What happens when the stories you grew up with become your worst nightmare? This September, horror fans will find out when Ever After, the terrifying new feature

As expected, Curry Barker‘s horror hit, Obsession, has become everyone’s, well, obsession. With audiences everywhere talking about it and the film killing it at the box office, spoofs of the movie are bound to happen. The latest comes from the wildly popular video game, Fortnite, which took to IG this morning to post a video

“Is this going to be a stand-up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?” Almost 40 years later, Aliens still gets cited as one of the rare sequels that outdoes the original, and as one of the best sci-fi films, full stop. Now the documentary that dug into how it got made is getting a companion piece worthy

EXCLUSIVE: Pregnancy cravings are one thing. Devouring raw meat straight from the refrigerator is another entirely. Ahead of its release later this month, Dread Central is exclusively debuting a grisly new clip from Houston Bone‘s pregnancy nightmare Son of Sara, and it’s exactly the kind of unsettling body horror tease you’d expect from the film.

A killer Pinocchio is an easy sell. You can picture the poster before anyone builds the movie: strings, teeth, a splash of red across something that used to be sweet. The version Rhys Frake-Waterfield would rather talk about is the one underneath the poster, where the puppet does not arrive already knowing what evil is.

Mark H. Rapaport’s Godhead is for anyone who’s wrestled with faith, shame, or the lasting impact of growing up in a religious household. An emotional Rapaport introduced the film to an enthusiastic crowd, many of whom were returning after his first feature, Hippo, made its debut at the festival in 2023. Like Hippo, Godhead isn’t

Ask any horror fan, and they’ll tell you that they first fell in love with the genre after watching a film they weren’t supposed to as a kid. They had rummaged through their older brother’s DVD collection, stayed up late to watch something on TV without their parents knowing, or accidentally stumbled upon a movie

Anthony C. Ferrante struck gold with his franchise, Sharknado. The series spawned five follow ups, with a seventh in the works. Instead of another sequel, this will be a prequel titled Sharknado Origins, with Ferrante back at the helm. However, if you can’t wait for the newest Sharknado movie, iHorror has your fix. The Father
