When done well, found footage horror makes for one of the most immersive and unnerving viewing experiences. The inherent naturalism tends to make the horror feel more plausible and real. Found footage horror doesn’t need a huge budget or recognizable names among the cast to induce chills, either, and the lo-fi visuals only further add to

While we’ve already had nearly ten major theatrical horror releases in 2024, none of them, and I mean not a single one, have been all that fun to behold. Even Abigail, the latest from team Radio Silence, fell a little bit short of offering audiences a popcorn-flying, prestige-free horror experience. In a monotonous landscape of uninspired

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky,

ArtPlay and 505 Games have announced the final update for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will arrive on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 9, while Switch users will be getting it on May 16. Version 1.5 will add two new game modes “Chaos Mode” and “Versus Mode” (which

Another week, another saga of Horror Discourse™ happening online. This time, however, there was some merit to the discussion du jour. Okay, a lot of merit. We’re talking horror trailers. While Abigail unfortunately failed to take a huge bite out of the weekend box office, it did manage to successfully win over both the critics

One thing that has a huge audience is the Star Wars franchise. While it is known for being viewable for all ages, there is a side that is more for a mature audience. There are several dark tales that venture into the depths of horror and despair. While most of these haven’t been portrayed on

We’re zapping into science fiction territory and back into “re-adaptation” conversations this month for Revenge of the Remakes. Don Siegel and Philip Kaufman bring vastly different approaches to their Invasion of the Body Snatchers films, uniformly citing Jack Finney’s 1954 novel “The Body Snatchers” as their source. Kaufman isn’t directly remaking Siegel’s film but acknowledges

John Rosman‘s feature film debut New Life is a rare combination of heart-wrenching and terrifying. Starring Sonya Walger and Hayley Erin, this new amalgamation of horror and drama elements is poised to be one of the biggest surprises of the year. And finally, after a successful festival run, this film is streaming and ready to

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella are all filmmakers under the collective label called Radio Silence. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are the primary directors under that moniker while Villella produces. They have gained popularity over the past 13 years and their films have become known as having a certain Radio Silence “signature.” They are bloody, usually contain monsters,

Some tabletop roleplaying games are meant for you to create your own character and lead them on an open-ended journey with a personal arc that you craft through a combination of interactions with your fellow players and the roll of the dice. Eat the Reich, the latest game from writer Grant Howitt and artist Will

If you have read my work previously, you may know that I am a big champion of overlooked and underrated cinema. In fact, I pen a weekly column spotlighting cinematic diamonds in the rough. On that note, I am back at it today. I’m here championing a sci-fi effort from 2014 that has gone largely unseen by

Another month means fresh additions to Netflix. Although there aren’t many new horror titles this month, there are still some notable movies well worth your time. For instance, you can watch Karen Black try to land a 747 jet in Airport 1979, or Casper Van Dien kill giant insects in Paul Verhoeven’s bloody sci-fi opus

Recent comments from producer Jason Blum suggested that a retool was in order when last year’s The Exorcist: Believer wasn’t as successful as Blumhouse and Universal hoped. That certainly seems to be the case, as Deadline reports tonight that Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct the next Exorcist movie. Director David Gordon Green was initially on

Stephen King, (c)Laurel Entertainment Inc./courtesy Everett Collection Stephen King fans rejoice. A documentary celebrating the author’s storied career and creative output has landed. The picture is called Stephen King: A Necessary Evil and it features a collection of archival interviews, clips from various screen adaptations of King’s work, footage from book readings, and content from

Before you dismiss Slay as a gimmick, we can tell you, it is. But it’s a damn good one.  Four drag queens are mistakenly booked at a stereotypical biker bar in the desert where they have to combat bigots…and vampires. You read that right. Think, Too Wong Foo at the Titty Twister. Even if you don’t

This year marks the 45th anniversary of Don Coscarelli’s horror classic Phantasm, and Coscarelli returns to that iconic universe with his brand new book PHICTION: Tales from the World of Phantasm. PHICTION explores characters and stories from the Phantasm universe, with an introduction by best-selling author Joe R. Lansdale (Bubba Ho-Tep). In the wake of a hardcover limited edition version of PHICTION being put

In her feature film debut Humane, director Caitlin Cronenberg tackles quite a few massive issues, including ecological disaster, humane euthanasia, sacrificing yourself for the greater good, and toxic family dynamics. And yet, with so many heavy topics swirling around, she manages to craft something with a unique tone, one that is never too dour and

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together. Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel

Life’s a beach and then someone dies in Slaughter Beach, a low budget horror-comedy slasher from the crew at Clockout Films. Last week, the film’s official premiere was hosted by Delco Horror Haven, a new non-profit horror organization dedicated to supporting indie horror in the greater Philadelphia area. Director Daniel C. Davis (Same Dance) takes

Courtesy of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and CBS Renowned author Stephen King, famous for his spine-tingling novels and short stories, has found himself on the receiving end of a gripping experience that he didn’t pen himself. The master of horror recently took to social media to express his astonishment after watching the

With as successful as a niche independent horror film can be at the box office, Late Night With the Devil is doing even better on streaming.  The halfway-to-Halloween drop of Late Night With the Devil in March wasn’t out for even a month before it headed to streaming on April 19 where it remains as

MGM+ has delivered an appropriately bone-chilling halfway-to-Halloween treat today in the form of an intense first look teaser at season three of the propulsive horror series “From.”  Look for the 10-episode third season to arrive this Fall on MGM+. If the below clip is any indication, season 3 is going to be absolutely insane and suspenseful for its characters.

Today, I sit down with the musical icons behind some of the most memorable horror scores of the past decade. The Newton Brothers (Taylor Newton Stewart and John Andrew Grush) are hot off the success of providing the score to Blumhouse’s superhit Five Nights at Freddy’s and are now making the rounds for their excellent

Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon. Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking

A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website. Josh

The reason why there are over a thousand episodes of all versions of Law & Order is that audiences love watching the process unfold in bite-sized, hermetically-sealed, less-than-an-hour chunks. Whether it’s the criminal justice system, English manor murder mysteries, or Hugh Laurie naming increasingly obscure illnesses, seeing procedures done by a team of skilled and

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set. Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017.
