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 MoreA Murder in Oakland: Beauty Is Deadly (2025)
Marcus D. Spencer wears many hats in A Murder in Oakland: Beauty Is Deadly—actor, director, co-writer, and executive producer. While his ambition is evident throughout the film, the final product is a mixed bag: engaging in concept, but uneven in execution. The story picks up with the reopening of a cold case that once rocked Oakland—a young model named Mercedes was murdered, and new evidence brings detectives Williams and Adams together to revisit the unsolved crime.
Read MoreDrop (2025) #BluRay
From the twisted mind of Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon comes Drop, a lean, adrenaline-spiked thriller that gleefully blends paranoia, tech-fueled dread, and razor-sharp tension into a brisk 95-minute ride. Now available to own physically for the first time, Drop gets the kind of home release that enhances its already tense atmosphere, delivering strong visual and audio presentation alongside compelling bonus content that fans of the film will genuinely appreciate. The story centers on Violet, a widowed mother whose attempt at reentering the dating world turns nightmarish when a romantic dinner with the seemingly perfect Henry is interrupted by a series of sinister, anonymous messages.
Read MoreRuss Meyer’s Motorpsycho and Up! (2025) #BluRay
Severin Films continues its inspired partnership with The Russ Meyer Charitable Trust, this time resurrecting two more fever dreams from the vault of cinema’s most notorious breast-centric auteur. Following the impressive release of The Vixen Trilogy, Severin’s new 4K and Blu-ray box sets of Motorpsycho and Up! are packed with extras, archival features, and fresh restorations that make them essential for longtime fans and newcomers alike. While both films reflect different ends of Meyer’s career, they each stand as bizarrely entertaining entries in his canon of carnality, chaos, and camp.
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 MoreAll the Lost Ones (2024)
In All The Lost Ones, director Mackenzie Donaldson delivers a lo-fi dystopian thriller that’s as much about survival as it is about the slow erosion of trust in a fractured America. Set in a near-future where climate change has catalyzed a government crackdown and subsequent civil war, the film explores the lives of a small group of resisters trying to outrun a brutal militia force. At the center of the story are Nia, her sister Penny, and her boyfriend Ethan, who find themselves hiding in a remote cabin—until their sanctuary is disrupted by a militia leader named Conrad.
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.
