Chuck Russell makes a triumphant and gloriously over-the-top return to the horror genre with Witchboard, a deliriously fun reimagining of the 1986 cult classic. The filmmaker behind A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and The Blob is clearly in his element, blending practical effects, camp, and chaos into a film that feels like a 1990s VHS treasure, rewound and reborn in a high-def 2024 package. Set in the voodoo-rich atmosphere of New Orleans, Witchboard introduces us to Emily and Christian, a couple opening an organic café in the French Quarter.
Read MoreThe Woman in the Yard (2025) #BluRay
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 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 MoreStir of Echoes: 25th Anniversary 4K UHD SteelBook #BluRay (2024)
As someone watching Stir of Echoes for the very first time, I can't think of a better introduction than Lionsgate’s new 25th Anniversary 4K UHD Amazon Exclusive SteelBook. While the film may have flown under the radar compared to some of its late-’90s contemporaries, this newly restored release offers the perfect opportunity to rediscover—or, in my case, discover—a surprisingly eerie and engaging psychological thriller that deserves more attention. Kevin Bacon stars as Tom Witzky, an average working-class dad whose life spirals after he’s hypnotized at a party, unlocking a latent ability to see disturbing visions and ghostly apparitions.
Read MoreOddity (2024) #BluRay
Damian McCarthy’s Oddity is a haunting, tense experience that has garnered significant attention since its debut at South by Southwest. Described as “scary, mysterious, upsetting, and affecting,” the film has earned accolades for its ability to create an overwhelming sense of unease, an accomplishment that stands out even among 2024's strong lineup of indie horror films. This film initially flew under my radar until I came across a meme boldly proclaiming it the scariest film of the year.
Read MoreNosferatu (2024)
For my money, Robert Eggers is one of the best filmmakers working today. The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman are all masterpieces. When it was announced that his next film would be a reimagining of F.W. Murnau’s iconic silent Expressionist Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror from 1922, I was instantly intrigued, despite my general distaste for remakes.

Bloody sounds. Ooey, gooey, blood spurty sounds. Cue audience members walking out in disgust.
