There are a lot of horror franchises that limp their way this far into a run. V/H/S is not one of them. Eight films in, V/H/S/Halloween proves this series still understands the assignment.
Read MoreThe Mortuary Assistant Is a Claustrophobic Descent That Knows How to Scare, Even When It Struggles to Surprise
The Mortuary Assistant arrives with a lot of weight behind it. Based on the cult-favorite horror video game and backed by Epic Pictures and Dread, the Shudder-bound adaptation positions itself as an “authentic” translation of one of gaming’s most unnerving experiences. Directed by Jeremiah Kipp, the film is undeniably crafted with care, atmosphere, and a clear respect for its source material—even if it doesn’t always justify its own existence outside of that shadow.
Read MoreA Crowdfunding Collapse: Shelby Oaks and the Horror of Almost Getting There
There is something immediately disarming about Shelby Oaks. It opens with that grainy, mockumentary chill that found footage sickos like me mainline without shame. The kind of setup that feels less like a movie and more like a late-night YouTube rabbit hole you regret clicking on but cannot stop watching.
Read MoreLove, Flesh, and Fracture: Together Lands at Home in Bloody Fashion
NEON has officially brought one of the year’s most talked-about genre hybrids home. Michael Shanks’ body-horror love story Together is now available across all major platforms, including digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD. Often described as one of the most fun horror films in recent years, Together turns a quiet night in into something far more disturbing.
Read MoreLove, Madness, and Tentacles: Why Possession Still Feels Dangerous
There are horror films you admire, horror films you endure, and then there are horror films that grab you by the throat and refuse to let go. Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession sits firmly in that last category. More than four decades after its release, it remains as confrontational, exhausting, and hypnotic as ever, and its Limited Dual Edition Box Set now stands as a definitive resurrection of one of the most unsettling films ever made.
Read MorePearl (2025) 4KUHD
Ti West’s Pearl has always stood apart from the rest of the X trilogy—at least for me. While X delivers retro-slasher grit and MaXXXine goes full neon fever dream, Pearl is the one that lodged itself under my skin and refused to leave. Maybe it’s Mia Goth’s fearless, feral performance.
Read MoreChoke (2020)
Choke, directed and written by Gregory Hatanaka, is a puzzling experiment in indie filmmaking that struggles to find its footing. The film attempts to blur the lines between reality and fantasy, following a nihilistic detective and a serial killer whose lives intersect through a mysterious young woman. At just 73 minutes, it’s brief, yet crams in an overwhelming number of montages, monologues, and seemingly symbolic scenes—many of which fail to resonate or clarify the story.
Read MoreWe Are Wolves (2024)
Cult cinema is alive and kicking, and We Are Wolves is proof that the weird, chaotic spirit of offbeat thrillers hasn’t gone anywhere. Directed and written by Rich Mallery, the film follows Fenix, a lost soul yearning for belonging, as she attempts to rejoin her chosen family—only to find that acceptance comes at the cost of playing some dangerously twisted games. On paper, the film is a mess of formulaic plotting and familiar tropes, and yes, the acting isn’t exactly Oscar-worthy.
