“Nightmare comedy” is the perfect phrase to describe Ari Aster’s Beau is Afraid, a darkly funny Kafkaesque odyssey that defies easy categorization.

The visionary combs his literary and cinematic influences, infusing them into a surreal, emotionally tumultuous journey that’ll

Announced this afternoon, “American Horror Story 12” is on the way later this year, and Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts are set to headline the brand new twelfth season. “American Horror Story” Season 12 will premiere in Summer 2023.

With Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened arriving later this week, Frogwares has released the game’s launch trailer, which as you might expect, contains plenty of Lovecraft vibes to get Cthulhu fans excited.

She’s not wrong; all signs point to mounting tension and catastrophe for the group. Episode three

The slasher and the actioner seem like two disparate types of movies, however, both often feature a high degree of suspense, lengthy chases, and a lot of death. A slasher villain will hunt down hapless victims, whereas an action hero may go after one enemy or a whole group of them. Grisly kills and an

In case you missed it, director Dutch Marich‘s 2021 found footage chiller Horror in the High Desert is a little-known gem that has recently been generating some well-deserved word of mouth among fans of the subgenre.

The following contains major spoilers for Last Shift (2014) and Malum (2023). Nothing divides the horror community like a remake.
