It’s admittedly not much at the moment, but it’s a sign of things to come for Bokeh Game Studio’s Slitterhead. Ahead of their appearance at PAX West and Gamescom, the developer has released a new image from Slitterhead, which is appropriately ominous. Set in the densely cluttered streets of Kowlong, filled with obscurity and chaos,

Maybe it’s just me, but lately, it’s been so much more challenging to just sit down, dim the lights, and watch something. It’s not that I’m distracted or not interested, more that the day’s exhaustion makes it more of a struggle to pick something than it should. There’s a lot out there I want to

#AMFAD: ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD, directed by Marcus Dunstan (“The Collector, The Collection”) and starring Jade Pettyjohn, JoJo Siwa, and Jennifer Enns, is now out in select theaters, digital, and on demand.

While he is just as eager to talk about what he hates (looking at you, True Detective) as he is about what he loves (Train to Busan, yay), there are few filmmakers today working as tirelessly to champion and preserve the best cinema

“You can’t get rid of the Babadook.” It’s been 10 years since director Jennifer Kent unleashed The Babadook (dook-dook-dook) in theaters. To celebrate the decennial IFC Films is bringing back the psychological haunter to theaters on September 19 featuring an exclusive Q&A with Kent. This might be the film that spawned the phrase “elevated horror,”

Announced earlier this year, developer/publisher Mega Cat Studios is set to unleash Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit tomorrow on Steam, with the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch releases coming later this year.

Contemporary rape-revenge cinema has been moving in a progressive, and often subversive, direction arguably since the release of Coralie Fargeat’s 2017 Revenge. Often helmed by women, modern rape-revenge films are about reclaiming agency and depicting the harrowing realities of sexual assault rather than catering to the male gaze. But often missing is the portrayal of

Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming film Presence released its first teaser trailer today. Although there is nothing to it, it still feels haunting and piques our curiosity about what exactly the title means. According to the IMDb synopsis, it “Showcases a suburban house inhabited by a mysterious entity.” IMDb also lists some trivia about the movie: “The

Writer/Director Tilman Singer continues his streak of experimental high-concept horror with his sophomore effort, Cuckoo. The filmmaker boldly marches to the beat of his own drum, examining heady themes of grief, reproduction, and gendered expectations through inventive, playful horror. That Cuckoo plays it fast and loose with details and plotting means that this body horror entry will likely polarize,

Courtesy of Everett Collection Quentin Tarantino has enjoyed an impressive career since his arrival on the filmmaking scene in the early ‘90s. In the years since he has amassed an impressive arsenal of awards to show for his efforts. During his formative days in Hollywood, Tarantino saw two films that greatly impacted him. The pictures

Tubi‘s TV catalog might be called a graveyard for canceled shows, but a showrunner’s loss is our gain because not only is the streamer free (with ads) but their selection is massive, especially reality shows that have long since left their respective networks. In the list below we have selected some highlights from their horror-type

Remember those classic Ben Cooper Halloween costumes? The plastic masks? The vinyl smocks? NECA has been turning those costumes into action figures with their Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection, and the line is getting set to expand with another new wave! Wave four of this particular line is taking a “What If?” approach, imagining retro Ben Cooper costumes

Memes often take on a life of their own, and the J-horror oddity This Man is a particularly bizarre example of an online phenomenon escaping containment and becoming something else. What that something else is changes from scene to scene, and sometimes even moment to moment. It’s not correct to call this movie a “roller

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

Ever since developer Tarsier Studios departed the Little Nightmares series, fans have been wondering just what they’ve been up to, especially now with Little Nightmares III being helmed by Supermassive Games. It seems we’ll find out later this month at Gamescom, as Tarsier Studios has teamed up with THQ Nordic for a new horror game,

As any queer person can attest, a small-town street can change from serene to sinister in the blink of an eye. It’s this contradictory nature that fuels the unapologetically queer fire of Haze, which had its International Premiere at the 2024 Fantasia International Film Festival. Written and directed by Matthew Fifer (Cicada), this suburban horror

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

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
