Some loved its over-the-top kills and stellar creature design by Trevor Henderson. Others weren’t fans of the dialogue and the liberties taken when it came to the rules of tarot. But recently, the

Although it wasn’t as well-received as other films in the trilogy, MaXXXine is still a great film. If you didn’t get a chance to see it in theaters, never fear it’s now digitally available to rent or own on Amazon — just a month after its theatrical release. This is director Ti West’s period tryptic

Actor Wesley Snipes made a surprise appearance in Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, reprising his role as Eric Brooks, aka Blade, a half-vampire “daywalker” who hunts vampires.

At the time, it broke records for A24 when it raked in $113.6 million worldwide. The film also faced a notable AI controversy and has sparked countless social media posts debating a

Reboots, sequels, and requels, oh my! Who can keep up? Well, apparently Brandy Norwood that’s who.  With the announcement that I Know What You Did Last Summer is getting hooked into another chapter, the singer and actress wasn’t aware of it even though she is a legacy star in the franchise, having played Karla in

It should come as no surprise that M. Night Shyamalan‘s execution of the classic Hitchockian suspense thriller Trap isn’t quite as straightforward as the marketing materials suggest. The central hook, which sees a serial killer unwittingly let in on the secret that a pop concert is an elaborate trap to catch him, seemingly gives the

I’d like to preface this review by stating that I have a complicated relationship with the cinematic works of M. Night Shyamalan. First and foremost, he changed my young life when I watched The Village at the age of 12. Signs made me terrified of the dark for most of my childhood. The Sixth Sense chilled me to my core. But

Last year’s Paramount Scares Vol. 1 box set contained some great films presented in 4K. Included in that collection were: Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Pet Sematary (1989), Smile (2022), Crawl (2019), and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). It was a popular purchase among horror fans. This week, just in time for Halloween

French filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the duo behind Inside, Leatherface, and The Deep House, step outside of horror ever so slightly for their latest, The Soul Eater. The adaptation of Alexis Laipsker‘s novel, penned by Annelyse Batrel and Ludovic Lefebvre, dabbles in the supernatural to lend atmosphere and intrigue to a standard investigative thriller. While its

Fritz Lang’s M is the greatest serial killer movie ever made. Of course, there have been dozens, even hundreds, of films on the subject with various innovations and evolutions along the way from the early days of cinema all the way to the most recent twists on the subgenre in MaXXXine and Longlegs. A few

Horror fans and wrestling fans overlap quite a bit. The Venn diagram of lovers of the macabre and lovers of the theatrics and spectacle of wrestling isn’t quite a single circle, but suffice it to say a horror movie about wrestling is sure to be a hit. And Lowell Dean’s new film Dark Match, which

It has been two years since we last saw director Sam Raimi and his pal Bruce Campbell work together. It was for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in which Campbell made a cameo. But are these two besties collaborating on a new horror project? Maybe, but neither is officially confirming anything. It was

The star of the films Scare Package and Scare Package 2: Rad Chad’s Revenge, Rad Chad Buckley himself (Jeremy King), is finally following in the footsteps of his Creature Feature heroes (and family members) and hosting his own horror movie series!

In a conversation with A.frame (the official digital magazine of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) Guillermo del Toro shared his reverence for a Martin Scorsese picture that has been steeped in its fair share of controversy.

It’s a nice feeling to look back at a time when content wasn’t coming out of every tech device in your house. When big studio horror movies were only available in theaters; the option to wait three weeks till streaming seemed so futuristic — it took a national disaster to prove that it could actually

Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man has been described by its director as a folk horror movie, and a brand new trailer tonight leans heavy on those horror vibes.

Did you know there are not one, but two found footage movies based on Frankenstein, or if you’re a purist, Frankenstein’s monster? They are drastically different from one another, but they both have their merits. Found footage films started their rotation back in 1999 with The Blair Witch Project. That cycle would slowly trail off
