Chuck Russell, the genre maestro behind A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and The Blob, makes a stylish return to horror with Witchboard—a reinvention of the 1986 cult favorite that premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival in 2024 and is set for a U.S. theatrical release in August 2025. This reimagining trades the original’s Ouija board for a sinister pendulum board—an occult object rooted in 17th-century lore and brimming with supernatural potential. Set in the mystical backdrop of New Orleans, the film follows a young couple whose lives unravel after discovering the board during a renovation project.

Dan Allen has never shied away from blending heart and horror. An award-winning director, writer, and editor from the UK, Allen brings a unique emotional depth to genre filmmaking—one forged by a lifelong fascination with storytelling and an early brush with adversity. From making experimental shorts on a LEGO webcam at age nine to winning “Best Young Filmmaker” during cancer treatment in his teens, his creative path has always been fueled by resilience and imagination.

In Bury Me When I'm Dead, writer-director Seabold Krebs delivers a genre-blending, emotionally complex tale that blurs the line between the psychological and the supernatural. Anchored by powerful performances from Makenzie Leigh and Charlotte Hope, the film follows a man haunted—perhaps literally—by the guilt of breaking a promise to his dying wife. It was a pleasure speaking with Leigh, Hope, and Krebs about the project, especially knowing how difficult the material was to navigate.

The world of underground art forgery gets a dark, intoxicating twist in Spilled Paint, a six-episode crime thriller that landed on Tubi earlier this year. While the series has been gaining steady traction with viewers, it’s the powerhouse team behind it—Brandon Gibson and Justine Renee—that truly gives the story its pulse. Gibson, a multi-hyphenate talent with a background in everything from national commercials to high-level improv and stand-up comedy, steps into the role of Ramirez Ponce—a suave but sadistic figure operating within Miami’s seedy art underworld.

If you've caught even a few episodes of SYFY’s Revival, chances are you’ve already been pulled into its eerie world of miracles, murder, and mounting paranoia. But it’s Steven Ogg’s fiery turn as Blaine Abel—a religious zealot raised by a fire-and-brimstone preacher—that truly leaves a mark. As the son of a radical pastor, Blaine sees the miraculous resurrection event known as Revival Day not as a blessing but as a divine warning.

When you’ve been a longtime fan of an actor, there’s something special about seeing them take on a project that hits on a deeper emotional register. That was exactly the case when I sat down to talk with director Chris Hartwell and actor-executive producer Harry Shum Jr. about their latest film Do No Harm, which just had its world premiere at the Dances With Films festival. For fans of Harry Shum Jr., his range is no surprise.

After loving their work in Slasher, I was immediately intrigued when I learned that Paula Brancati and Jim Watson would be reuniting in Hell Motel, the new horror anthology series from Slasher creators Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter. The two actors bring their familiar genre pedigree to the eerie, blood-soaked world of the Cold River Motel—a location haunted by both supernatural dread and a very human hunger for true crime spectacle. Having admired Paula Brancati since her days on Degrassi and being a fan of Jim Watson's haunting turn in Crimson Peak, I jumped at the chance to speak with them about their latest foray into horror.

I first saw Bark last year at Fantastic Fest, and it’s a film that’s haunted me ever since. So much so, in fact, that I’ve been counting the days until its release just so I could tell my friends and family about it. Now that it's hitting digital and VOD on June 13th, thanks to Dark Sky Films, I can finally share it with others—and hopefully, they'll be as shaken and moved by it as I was.
