Clint Eastwood has enjoyed an enviable career in Hollywood. The actor-turned-director (and former mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea) has been on a hot streak for more than half a century. He famously played the titular character in the Dirty Harry franchise and appeared in countless Western films. He’s truly a jack of all trades and his celebrated

Ari Lehman, widely known for portraying the first on-screen version of Jason Voorhees as a child, has many other sides. For instance, he composes music and fronts a metal band called First Jason, which just happens to be opening for Ice Nine Kills at the upcoming Silver Scream Con. Beyond that, he’s a genuinely nice

With so many adaptations of Stephen King’s work, there are bound to be some that don’t resonate with the bestselling author. King has been vocally critical of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining on a number of occasions. While King is an outlier on that one, he’s far from alone in his distaste for some of the

Quentin Tarantino, 2007. ©Weinstein Company LLC/Courtesy Everett Collection Quentin Tarantino is a die-hard fan of horror cinema and understands exactly how to craft a proper scare. I only wish he would lean into the genre more often. The director has only made one proper horror movie to date (Death Proof) and he’s been threatening to

It was about two decades ago that we met Australian outback serial killer Mick Taylor played by John Jarratt in the movie Wolf Creek. He returned for the sequel in 2013 and once again for the TV series in 2016-2017. He’s back once again in Wolf Creek: Legacy, a third installment to the popular slasher

It would only be fitting if Sunsoft and WayForward’s Clock Tower: Rewind would get an October release. And for PlayStation and Switch users, that appears to be the case. Per the Japanese PR firm PR Times (thanks, Gematsu!), Sunsoft revealed that the remake of the 1995 classic will launch digitally and physically for the Nintendo

Atomic Monster and Blumhouse have updated their 2024 release schedules into early 2025. We already knew about AfrAId, Speak No Evil, and Wolf Man, but some surprises might be had here, including Cabin in the Woods and House of Spoils. Blumhouse hasn’t had a great year so far. Both its Night Swim and Imaginary went

One such film is the highly anticipated Terrifier 3 from writer/director Damien Leone, the man responsible for the iconic Art the Clown who is back

It seems like we get a new V/H/S movie every year; we aren’t complaining, it’s just notable. This year it’s V/H/S/Beyond and the new teaser just dropped on YouTube.  Whereas past entries focused more on the paranormal, Beyond focuses on sci-fi horror. And there is some great talent involved in this sequel including Jordan Downey

One of the best South Korean thrillers in years is finally getting released in the United States. Jason Yu’s Sleep, a taut, twisted thriller starring the late Lee Sun-kyun and Jung Yu-mi will be released theatrically courtesy of Magnet Releasing on September 27. Trust me when I say it’s one of the most disturbing, engaging

No, this isn’t a teaser for the upcoming horror movie Smile 2. In fact, it might be a whole lot scarier. One of the biggest flaws, or maybe blessings, of humanoid robots is they have an uncanny valley “tell” which usually involves their face. Whether it’s their unnatural eye movement or unrealistic silicone face coverings,

All good things, it seems, must come to an end. And in the case of The Suffering and its sequel, The Suffering: Ties That Bind, their availability on PC is nearing the end. Seven years after being added to GOG.com, the Surreal Software-developed games will be delisted from the service on September 1st. Per their

Dread Central may only be the second-most visited digital publication to cover all things horror, but we are undoubtedly the queerest. From our gay-as-hell Pride Month content to multiple of our ongoing columns, we pride ourselves on being the fruitiest authority on all things horror. And now we have the academic cred to prove it

If you live in the Kansas City area or are planning to do a tour of America’s haunts this year you may want to check out one created by Darren Lynn Bousman who directed Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV. He also directed the 2022 Spiral which takes place in the Saw universe.  Bousman

Sure, we’ve had games about zombies overrunning a city time and time again, but what about a Medieval village? Developer Ocean Drive Studio aims to add a bit of spice to the open world zombie survival genre with God Save Birmingham, which will launch in Early Access on PC via Steam. No word on the

Both Andra Day and Glenn Close are decorated actors for their ability to craft believable and heart-breaking performances. While both have traversed different genres, neither of them has ever really dabbled in the horror genre (unless, of course, you count Close’s turn in Fatal Attraction). But now, thanks to director Lee Daniels, the two are

The Watchers will soon be available to stream on Max starting on August 30. The film is directed by M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter Ishana Shyamalan in her feature film debut.  It wasn’t an easy project to take on for her first film.

Cate Blanchett, the woman that you are. Borderlands notwithstanding (and if we’re being fair, ignoring Where’d You Go, Bernadette as well), she is unequivocally one of the greatest performers of her generation. From The Talented Mr. Ripley to The Gift, to, of course, The Lord of the Rings, Blanchett has flirted with genre filmmaking plenty

Horror has an official first family and their last name is Adams. No not that one. You might be thinking of the Addams Family. They don’t make movies, they’re fictional characters and they’re nowhere near as cool as the Adams Family. John Adams and Toby Poser, and their daughters Zelda and Lulu, have been making

Before I say anything else, I urge you to go watch Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave. It’s streaming free on Netflix, and without any embellishment, is one of the century’s finest murder mystery thrillers. It’s so much more than that, but the less I say, the better. We can talk about Park Chan-wook’s bonafide debut
