Stuart Ortiz, best known for co-directing Grave Encounters, returns with a daring experiment in horror storytelling: a faux true-crime documentary that blurs the line between reality and nightmare. Strange Harvest unfolds with such meticulous authenticity that, if stumbled upon mid-broadcast, it could easily pass for a legitimate investigative docuseries about a serial killer. The story follows Detectives Joe Kirby and Lexi Taylor as they unravel the return of “Mr. Shiny,” a sadistic killer whose ritualistic murders are tied not just to occult symbolism but to forces of a distinctly cosmic persuasion.

In the ever-growing world of found-footage horror, House on Eden enters the scene with a refreshingly personal touch and a genuine sense of eerie fun. Directed by Kris Collins—best known to her massive online following as KallMeKris—the film leans heavily into its low-budget roots while still managing to deliver a few memorable scares and a surprisingly cohesive narrative. It’s not a game-changer, but for fans of the genre, it’s a solid entry that wears its influences on its sleeve without losing its own identity.

In the ever-expanding world of screenlife horror, Bloat sets itself apart by leaning further into supernatural terror than its more grounded predecessors, Searching and Missing. While both of those films were gripping, mystery-driven thrillers, Bloat opts for a darker, more horror-centric approach. Directed by Pablo Absento, the film makes excellent use of its digital storytelling format, incorporating various video mediums such as security camera footage, live streams, and smartphone recordings to create a tense and immersive experience.
