Blumhouse continues to be one of the most unpredictable studios in the horror game. For every Get Out or The Invisible Man, there's a dud that slips through quality control—and sometimes multiple. With The Woman in the Yard, their latest haunted release from director Jaume Collet-Serra, we get a film that doesn’t so much defy expectations as it quietly shuffles past them in a funereal black veil.
Read MoreThe Creep Tapes: Season One (2025) #BluRay
If Creep and Creep 2 crawled under your skin and never quite left, then The Creep Tapes will likely feel like a welcome, if slightly abbreviated, return to the chilling world of Mark Duplass’s most sinister character. The Peachfuzz saga continues in this episodic Shudder Original, which compiles six new slices of found-footage dread into a collection that’s both familiar and unsettlingly fresh. It’s no secret that the Duplass Brothers have long been indie darlings with a gift for raw, character-driven storytelling.
Read MoreFear Street: Prom Queen (2025)
Welcome back to Shadyside—where the blood never dries and the drama never ends. Fear Street: Prom Queen, the latest installment in the R.L. Stine-inspired series, hits Netflix on May 23, delivering a retro-styled slasher that plays like Carrie meets I Know What You Did Last Summer with a synth-drenched, neon glow-up. Directed by Matt Palmer and co-written with Donald McLeary, Prom Queen dives into the cutthroat world of high school royalty in 1988.
Read MoreRosario (2025)
Felipe Vargas makes an assured and stylish directorial debut with Rosario, a moody, atmospheric horror film that fuses supernatural terror with a sharp exploration of generational trauma and cultural identity. It’s a claustrophobic, unnerving experience that balances the grotesque with the emotional—and while it might not quite live up to the “scariest movie ever” hype it’s getting on TikTok, it still delivers plenty of chills, thrills, and vivid visual storytelling. The plot centers on Rosario Fuentes, a high-powered Wall Street stockbroker who returns to her late grandmother’s apartment during a snowstorm.
Read MoreClown in a Cornfield (2025)
Eli Craig’s Clown in a Cornfield is the kind of horror movie that knows exactly what it is—and executes with the confidence of a masked killer in broad daylight. Adapted from Adam Cesare’s novel by Craig and Carter Blanchard, the film is a back-to-basics slasher that manages to feel both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly fresh. Set in the economically shattered town of Kettle Springs, the story follows Quinn and her father as they attempt to rebuild their lives following a tragic past.
Read MoreA Desert (2024)
With A Desert, first-time feature director Joshua Erkman plunges audiences into a sun-scorched fever dream of Americana decay, blending the grit of neo-noir and the bite of horror with impressive precision. What begins as a slow burn with shades of Cheap Thrills soon mutates into a gnarlier beast—something akin to a marriage between The Devil’s Rejects and The Hills Have Eyes. But make no mistake, A Desert is its own animal: haunting, bold, and oddly beautiful.
Read MorePocket Princess (2024)
Growing up with a deep love for stop-motion animation, I’ve always considered it a gift anytime a new project in the medium lands in my queue for review. Olivia Loccisano’s Pocket Princess is no exception—this beautifully unsettling short film is a dark little gem that reminds us just how powerful animation can be when paired with weighty, real-world themes. The visual style is instantly nostalgic, calling to mind the charming simplicity of vintage bumpers from Pee-wee’s Playhouse or the surreal elasticity of Gumby.
Read MoreThe Killgrin (2024)
Killgrin, written and directed by Joanna Tsanis, delivers a unique blend of horror and psychological drama, but its uneven pacing and somewhat predictable execution may leave some viewers longing for more. The story centers on Miranda, a woman grappling with personal tragedy, who turns to unconventional self-help methods after a spiritual healer informs her that her aura is infected by a malevolent force known as a "Killgrin." This dark entity, which feeds off her misery, begins to have a horrifying effect on those around her.
