The latest project from 'Under the Shadow' director, Babak Anvari. A tense, minimalist folk-horror thrill ride!

Gabrielle Montes de Oca in Sleep Stalker
⭐️⭐️1/2
Intensity: 🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

A fun found footage mash-up of Paranormal Activity (2007) and The Amityville Horror (1979) with some DIY home renovation YouTubers thrown in for good measure.

Grafted dog.

Self-image, beauty norms, popularity. Grafted takes all that, mixes it with a corpse flower, and comes up with some murderously gnarly body horror.

Fiery eyeball in Saint Clare

A quirky, mildly violent, mystery-filled entry in the fun sub-genre of religious horror starring Bella Thorne, Rebecca De Mornay, and Ryan Phillippe.

Toxic relationships, sexuality, vigilante justice, and meat. Lots of meat.

A spectacular documentary style, Lovecraft adjacent, conspiracy driven deep dive into a top secret government project. You have been warned.

The hand of death
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Intensity: 🩸🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

A gore-filled, action packed love letter to revenge westerns from days gone by. Entirely shot on 16MM film using gear from the 1960s making the whole film positively drip with vintage style.

Dorset’s very own indie horror and genre film festival returns for its sophomore edition following a lively and successful debut in 2024. Full program and schedule right here!

All 57 inhabitants of a tiny town on the Mexico/Arizona border are murdered in a single night. Was it the barbaric work of a lone drifter? Or is the truth even stranger? This documentary dives in to shed some light on the mystery.

A summoned creature. A history of genocide. A hotbed of disappearances. The sleepy little town of Newport's Valley has a lot going for it. Why not book a room at the Barn Owl Inn and see for yourself?

Spookiness from The Damned
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Feeling cold and isolated this time of year? The Damned (2024) will happily add paranoid and hungry to your list! Icelandic folk tales and psychological horror combine in this frosty tale of desperate 19th century survival.
Crust in Crust
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Obviously, the world has been yearning for a monster made from the forgotten socks left at a laundromat. Yearn no longer, world!
Aliens Expanded small
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
If you or someone you know is still quoting lines from Aliens (1986) or gives it a regular re-watch, this is the perfect accompaniment you didn't know you were missing.
Samara Weaving in Azrael
⭐️⭐️1/2
Intensity: 🩸🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

Movies with no dialog. Are we calling this a trend now? It seems like making a movie isn't enough of a challenge for some folks so they're upping the ante and going speechless. Albeit with mixed results.

Daniel Jordan as Jitters
We've got the first look teaser trailer for writer-director Marc Zammit’s new feature film Jitters as it nears the end of production. Let's go, British horror!
Naomi Scott in Smile 2
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first installment focused on world building and investigating the great mythology behind the story. This time around writer/director Parker Finn gives us spectacle.
Man holding a knife from The Final Pact.

Intensity: 🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
An old friend of The Scariest Things returns with a devilishly new horror-adjacent escapade, The Final Pact! If you're a fan of religious themes or a good ol' fashioned Evil v. Good run-in, this may be a movie for you.
Jane Hammill in Voice of Shadows
★★★ out of ★★★★★

Intensity: 🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

Set firmly in the sub-genre of Inheritance Horror, Voice of Shadows witnesses the ordeals of a young couple who've just inherited a large estate. While it might not be the most innovative thing you've ever seen, it's a decent and gorgeous looking haunted house romp.
