By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com Portal to Hell arrives on Digital and VOD September 8, 2026, from Cineverse. There’s something inherently miserable about being a bill collector. Nobody wants to hear from you. Nobody is happy you called. You’re probably interrupting dinner, work or whatever brief period of the day that person managed to forget they owe somebody money. Still, somebody has to do it. That somebody is Dunn. Trey Holland plays him as a guy already beaten down by the

The award-winning indie horror-thriller from writer-director Lila McLaughlin arrives on Amazon and Fandango September 22 through Buffalo 8 Distribution. MoreHorror.com There’s something inherently wrong about an abandoned property in the middle of nowhere. Too much silence. Too much history. Too many places for old secrets to wait. That's what sits at the center of Don’t Let Them Out, an independently produced psychological horror-thriller written and directed by Lila McLaugh

The Changeling, Cemetery Man, Santa Sangre and hundreds more begin streaming in September MoreHorror.com BloodStream is about to get a whole lot stranger.

By Damian Hex, MoreHorror.com I’m a fan of the good possession-within-the-family-moving-to-a-new-house trope. Truly, I am. So I couldn't resist watching and writing about a movie called CHAT directed by Ole J Hartmann. As always, I want to include a disclaimer in my reviews: this piece contains spoilers. In this economy, where everything feels expensive, buying a house often means selling your soul to the devil for a bargain and quite literally in this film. The story follows

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorror.com The fear of being unable to help your own child gives The Spirit Lock an unsettling place to begin. Before the occult promises and ritual warnings take hold, there’s already something painfully human driving the story: a family running out of answers. This brooding indie supernatural film builds its horror around that vulnerability, exploring how desperation can make even the most ominous offer sound like hope. At the center is a parent searchi

By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com Spoilers Ahead Deathwoods is now streaming exclusively on Screambox. I appreciate the drive-in opening. Everybody is doing the whole “thing from the past” thing now, but it made me laugh, so fine. Then Jessa Jupiter Flux shows up as Suzie. That gives it a point. Not because her being there suddenly makes the movie better, obviously. Sorry, Uncle Lloyd. I have a soft spot for Troma and the scrappier end of independent horror. Not every movie need

By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com SPOILERS THROUGHOUT Someone involved with Buddy must have spent an ungodly amount of time watching children’s television. Barney, Dora the Explorer, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, probably every aggressively cheerful show where a smiling thing teaches children how to share while adults pretend this is all perfectly normal. Casper Kelly doesn’t just remember those shows. He understands their machinery: the smiling adults, bright primary colors, gentle less

By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com SPOILERS THROUGHOUT Early in Saccharine, Hana throws a box of doughnuts into the trash and tries to make them inedible. Then she looks back at the trash. I love that moment because Natalie Erika James shoots it almost like Hana is being stalked in a slasher movie. Somewhere down there, beneath the garbage, a doughnut is waiting. Patient. Quiet. Ready to strike. It’s funny until it isn’t, which pretty much describes a lot of Saccharine. James, wh

By Damian Hex, MoreHorror.com Nothing makes this horrorhead’s heart beat faster than witnessing the translation of horror video games to the big screen. Although I have a soft spot for vampires, something primal draws me to zombies. One of the first zombie games I played as a kid was Resident Evil 2 (I know it wasn't part one; I’m sorry). Naturally, I rushed to watch every Resident Evil movie adaptation in theatres. So how do you think I felt when I discovered that Zach Cregg

Video Review by Tia Bean for MoreHorror.com Spooky season may still be creeping around the corner, but More Horror’s Tia Bean has already started the festivities with an advance look at Gator Face, a new slice of Florida-bred creature horror that wears its genre influences proudly. The setup keeps things wonderfully simple. A group of teenagers wrapping up a day at the beach stumble across an isolated house with a disturbing message scrawled across its side. Being teenagers i

Representing More Horror at the event will be creator and correspondent Tia Bean, who will be covering the convention from the floor of whatever strange things happen when horror

By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com - SPOILERS THROUGHOUT There is something almost reassuring about a movie simply calling itself The Yeti. No subtitle. No colon. No clever mythology bullshit. There is a Yeti. Here is the movie. Expectations appropriately adjusted. Gene Gallerano and William Pisciotta’s creature feature opens in Alaska in 1947, and almost immediately I liked what it was doing. There’s a commitment to the period that goes beyond throwing everyone into old coats an
