Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man promises an unhinged summer sugar rush. What arrives feels closer to a cone forgotten on the sidewalk: brightly colored, briefly tempting, yet already melting under the heat.

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com - Every time an independent horror film explodes across the internet, two competing emotions rise inside me. First, I feel genuine excitement. I have spent a substantial part of the past 15 years producing more than 20 independent films and composing music for several others. I know how difficult it is to get one of these things made, much less convince the world to stop scrolling long enough to watch it. Then comes a small, admittedly pe

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com - Spoiler Warning: This review discusses major plot developments, character deaths, and the ending of Frankie, Maniac Woman. Frankie, Maniac Woman opens with murder and a handful of sand thrown across a body in the Hollywood Hills. That tells you almost everything you need to know about the film’s personality. The bubble rising from the masked killer’s mouth adds a flash of playful indifference. The sand feels theatrical, ritualistic, an

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com - If you grew up during the 198os, you probably remember encountering a very specific kind of late-night television fever dream. You would flip through the channels looking for some gloriously cheesy horror movie on USA Up All Night, only to stumble across women in brightly colored leotards bending, stretching and sweating to generic pop music. Neon leg warmers glowed against black studio floors. Synthesizers pulsed. Everyone smiled with

MoreHorrorMovies.com - Adam Werth directs the new sci-fi action-horror film from Mahal Empire Productions, starring Robert Standley, Laura Mason, Tom Arnold, Kevin Sorbo, Glenn Plummer and Greg Tally. Las Vegas has survived mobsters, magicians, bachelor parties and more cinematic destruction than most cities could reasonably endure. In Alien Storm, Sin City faces something far stranger: a mysterious fog carrying a presence that no underground shelter can keep away. The new sc

The Slasher Nurse delivers a fun indie slasher with a strong killer design, solid gore, a cool score, a killer metal song, and enough genre affection to make the whole thing worth a look. It doesn’t reinvent the blade. It doesn’t need to. This is the kind of movie you throw on during a sleepover, a horror hangout, or a late-night background screening with friends while everyone talks, laughs, reacts to the kills, and occasionally looks up to say, “Okay, that was pretty cool.”

By Seth Metoyer, More Horror Movies - Watching Borderline, I often felt like I’d stumbled into a midnight bargain bin horror spoof, an off-kilter late-’90s fever dream. Paul Duerson (Ray Nicholson) is the manic yin to Sophia's (Samara Weaving) brittle yang. He’s a hallucinogenic explosion, equal parts charming creep, jittery cartoon, and unhinged cult leader. I couldn’t decide if he was pitch-perfect or completely over the top, but then, that’s the point, right? Maybe? Not

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com - Slashers have always thrived on corn syrup and clichés, but every now and then one pops up that feels like a welcome throwback rather than a tired rerun. Clown in a Cornfield, based on Adam Cesare’s novel, doesn’t reinvent the killer-in-a-mask wheel, but it gives it a fresh spin through sharp aesthetics, a committed lead, and just enough self-awareness to make the ride worth taking. The story follows Quinn Maybrook (Katie Douglas) and h

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com - The sky has cracked, the faithful are gone, and what’s left is worse than hell. Azrael drops you into a post-Rapture nightmare and shoves you face-first into the dirt, then dares you to get up. Samara Weaving, one of horror’s most magnetic faces, takes center stage in a film that’s equal parts biblical fever dream and survival gauntlet. After the Rapture strips the world of its believers, the survivors cling to strange, brutal new rule

by Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com - DROP released to Digital platforms on April 29, and will be released on 4K UHD / Blu-ray on June 10. Christopher Landon didn’t write DROP, and that might be the problem. I’ve been rooting for Landon ever since Happy Death Day flipped the slasher formula on its head and Freaky gave us a blood-soaked Freaky Friday remix that somehow worked. He knows how to play with genre, find heart inside horror, and direct actors through tonal gymnas

Review by Seth Metoyer – MoreHorrorMovies.com Grief has a strange way of showing up. Sometimes it knocks. Sometimes it whispers. And sometimes… it just stands silently in the yard. I’m not always the biggest fan of Blumhouse’s execution, but with The Woman in the Yard (available now on digital, and on Blu-ray May 27) , director Jaume Collet-Serra delivers a slow-burning, deeply atmospheric psychological horror film that lingers long after the credits roll, not because of wha

Nosferatu (2024) is, above all else, a feeling. It’s that unsettling sensation of something very old, very malevolent...

By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorror.com - Parker Finn’s Smile 2 isn’t just a sequel—it’s an unrelenting, nerve-shredding showcase of what makes modern horror great. Right off the bat, this film establishes itself as one of the best horror movies of the year, though not without its imperfections. But really, what horror film is perfect? Picking up the torch from its predecessor, Smile 2 delves deeper into the sinister curse that thrives on trauma, fear, and despair. Skye (Naomi Scott

By Seth Metoyer, Let’s talk about cognitive dissonance for a second. That uncomfortable feeling when something doesn’t quite add up the way you expect it to. Before you roll your eyes, close the browser tab and dismiss this as another hot take, take a deep breath, set aside your knee-jerk reaction, and stick with me. This isn’t just some rant about a popular movie I didn’t vibe with—it’s an examination of why Knives Out (2019) just didn’t click for me despite ticking so many

Reviewed by Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com, Social Media: @morehorror Sometimes, walking into a film blind can be the best way to experience a story, especially in the horror genre. Unfortunately, I wasn’t so lucky with Abigail. While the promotional materials make it clear that Abigail is no ordinary girl, I won’t spoil the specifics for those who might have avoided the trailers. Let’s just say the kidnappers quickly realize they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. Di

Movie Review: In A Violent Nature (2024) Reviewed by Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com, Written and directed by Chris Nash, In A Violent Nature takes us deep into the Ontario wilderness, where a mute killer, resurrected by a group of wayward teens, unleashes a reign of terror that plays out largely through his own dark, silent gaze. Starring Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, and Lauren-Marie Taylor, this slasher blends a chilling atmosphere, haunting sound design, and a unique pe

Reviewed by Seth Metoyer, MoreHorrorMovies.com, One of my favorite films of all time is Rosemary’s Baby, so when I heard that Apartment 7A (streaming now exclusively on Paramount+ and available to purchase on digital) was a prequel diving into the mysterious past of Terry Gionoffrio and the Castevets, I was immediately intrigued. Revisiting that unsettling world, exploring the lives of the enigmatic characters that existed before Rosemary, had the potential to offer fans more

By Seth Metoyer, "Saw X" delves into the intriguing chapter of John Kramer's life between the events of "Saw" and "Saw II." As John Kramer (Tobin Bell) battles terminal cancer, he seeks out a radical treatment at a makeshift clinic run by Cecilia Pederson (Synnøve Macody Lund). The clinic offers advanced but non-FDA-approved procedures, promising hope to desperate patients through a drug cocktail and surgery. Accompanied by his loyal protégé Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith), John

MoreHorrorMovies.com, "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" is a whimsical yet darkly comedic romp through the absurdity of alien invasion, brought to life in vivid detail with its 4K UHD debut marking its 35th anniversary, and released on May 14th, 2024 . Directed by the Chiodo Brothers, this cult classic transcends the typical horror genre, blending elements of sci-fi, comedy, and outright lunacy into a visually striking spectacle.
