In Flames, the feature debut for Pakistani-Canadian director Zarrar Kahn, mixes the texture of trauma with the cultural and political dynamics of conservative Pakistan with underwhelming results.

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Courtesy of the DIE’CED IndieGogo Campaign I’m still surprised by the continued success of indie horror. I shouldn’t be, but I am. Back in the 1960s, George A. Romero experienced the analog version of virality with Night of the Living Dead, a micro-budget and inventive project with something to say. And some modern independent horror

Joe Dante (Small Soldiers) is a legend in the horror community. He is responsible for getting many people into the horror genre with such films as Gremlins, Gremlins 2, The Howling, and The Burbs.

“Every time I survived a war zone, I thought I was sending a warning home: don’t do this,” Kirsten Dunst’s veteran photojournalist Lee tells another in Civil War. “But here we are.” The sentiment sums up writer/director Alex Garland‘s anti-war messaging, told through a visceral assault on the senses as it plunges its characters on a road trip

The 100-Acre Wood’s violent proclivities have been exposed and Pooh and friends are ready to wreak havoc on that snitch Christopher Robin in Rhys Frake-Waterfield‘s upcoming sequel Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. It isn’t just Pooh and Piglet on the hunt, either. This time, Tigger and Owl join the pack to take down the boy

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. But if you’re Michael Myers you gather yourself, zip up your coveralls, and hope another studio will pick up your story. And that is exactly what Miramax did.

My family was raised on horror, literally. We were under five years old watching titles like Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm Street, and yes, I’m dating myself. Was it the best parenting? Who knows. What I do know is that I loved it.  That transferred into my teen years when six of us slept at

If there’s ever been a classic horror film that doesn’t need a sequel, it’s Carrie. Stephen King’s debut novel was masterfully adapted into a 1976 film by Brian De Palma and quickly became a runaway hit. In fact it’s likely because of the film’s success that the prolific author so quickly became a household name.

There’s very little to say about Shinji Mikami that hasn’t been said already. Creating the Resident Evil and Devil May Cry series is where most will know him.

The world of Virtual Reality is shifting quickly. The technology consistently teeters on the brink of world-changing breakthroughs, yet often falls short. The recent release of the Apple Vision Pro, however, has showcased the public’s strong appetite for new technology. The impacts of these new additions to VR could forever alter the landscapes of movies

The attention-grabbing opening scene in writer/director Benjamin Finkel’s Family effectively establishes the film’s peculiar, esoteric, yet bone-chilling tone. Evoking Relic or Ari Aster’s Hereditary, the cold open sees preteen protagonist Johanna (Cameron Dawson Gray) banging on the locked doors of a synagogue, pleading to be let in, only for her mother, Naomi (Ruth Wilson), to stalk across the lawn,

This year’s SXSW features two genre-adjacent psychological thrillers about the dangers of toxic masculinity with the backdrop of a bachelor party.

After more than three decades since the original “Beetlejuice” film took audiences by storm with its unique blend of comedy, horror, and whimsy, Michael Keaton has given fans a reason to eagerly anticipate the sequel. In a recent interview, Keaton shared his thoughts on an early cut of the upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel, and his words

Writer/Director Damian Mc Carthy‘s sophomore effort, Oddity, serves as a welcome extension of his feature debut, Caveat, in many ways. Aside from the brief return of at least one familiar face and a nightmare bunny, Oddity continues the filmmaker’s exploration of supernatural karma and retribution with offbeat characters and a unique vision for scares.
