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.

Luc Besson isn’t interested in giving us just another cape-flapping, coffin-hopping Dracula. With Dracula, hitting theaters nationwide on February 6th, 2026, via Vertical, Besson leans hard into gothic romanticism, tragic obsession, and visual excess, crafting a lavish, blood-soaked love story that wears its heart on its sleeve and occasionally trips over it. This version of the legend opens with a 15th-century prince, Vlad, played by Caleb Landry Jones, whose world collapses after the brutal murder of his wife, Elisabeta.

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 MoreAmityville Emanuelle (2023)
Amityville Emanuelle starts with a premise that could have held promise: a young man, Gordon DeFeo, experiences terrifying visions related to his father, the infamous mass murderer, and a woman, Laura Lutz, receives his ashes and begins experiencing similar supernatural disturbances.
