Brett Wagner stars as a foul-mouthed, larger-than-life outlaw in Sean Haitz's GRIM, a bloody horror short packed with brutal practical effects, dark comedy, and grindhouse attitude. We review the film, explore its connection to Bill Moseley's Kharver universe, and share the full short film.

Richard Melkonian's Universe25 takes viewers through a surreal world of fallen angels, artificial intelligence, and existential uncertainty. Shot on 16mm film, this ambitious debut combines striking cinematography, strong performances, and an excellent musical score with philosophical science fiction and psychological horror.

Nobody needs another version of Carrie simply because the title can be recognized from space. Stephen King’s novel has been adapted, remade, continued and turned into a musical. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film still works. The bucket is still hanging up there. We know what is in it, and we know where it eventually goes.

Horror movies do not crawl out of a vacuum. A country gets scared, angry, paranoid or just plain exhausted, and sooner or later somebody puts that feeling on a screen. Maybe it wears a mask. Maybe it carries a camera. Maybe it locks somebody in a filthy room and asks how badly they want to live.

Joseph Mazzaferro's supernatural horror feature taps into old-school slasher influences, creepy folklore and practical effects for a brisk trip into the darker corners of independent filmmaking. By Seth Metoyer | More Horror There's something about urban legends that makes them such fertile ground for horror movies. Most of us grew up hearing stories about Bloody Mary, mysterious figures lurking in the darkness, or some terrible thing that might happen if we repeated a certai

Samuel Weston Potter's THE HOLLOW ONES blends eerie Halloween atmosphere, supernatural mystery and a deeply personal story about childhood grief. More Horror takes a closer look at the independent feature, its impressive young cast and the family experiences that inspired the film.

A desert getaway turns bloody in Accursed, a slick slasher starring Danny Trejo. Effective practical effects and a lean runtime keep things moving as the film steers into sinister occult territory.

By Seth Metoyer | More Horror Going into Naked Alien Massacre, I had almost no idea what I was getting myself into. There wasn't a traditional trailer to prepare me, just a title, a synopsis and the knowledge that writer-director Tim Chizmar had spent years trying to bring this strange little monster into the world. A title like Naked Alien Massacre announces itself pretty loudly. You expect blood. You expect nudity. You probably expect something designed specifically to offe

By Seth Metoyer | MoreHorror.com Directed by Shivaan Makker and released through Studio Dome, this psychological thriller stars Oscar Torre as Detective Angelo Matteo and features a supporting cast that includes Happy Anderson, Corin Nemec, Deborah Rennard and the late Tony Todd. The film also draws partial inspiration from real-life serial killer Robert Berdella, which adds another ugly little shadow over a story already steeped in trauma, obsession and ritualistic violence.

By Devin Smock | MoreHorror.com SPOILERS THROUGHOUT Never After Dark opens on a candle, then the remains of something awful. Blood. An axe. A house that looks like it has already survived the movie we are about to watch. The compositions are so controlled that I was invested before Dave Boyle bothered explaining a damn thing. That confidence carries through most of the film. It knows where to put the camera, how long to leave it there and, most importantly, when to leave us a

By Damian Hex | MoreHorror.com Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil Reimagines Survival Horror for a New Generation As I mentioned in a previous article, I received an invitation to see the first 30 minutes of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (director of Barbarian and Weapons). So, needless to say, Umbrella Corporation called me to report for duty and watch the rest of the film. So get cozy, lock your doors (you never know when a hungry zombie might roam by), and join me on this mild sp

By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com SPOILERS THROUGHOUT Hope opened in U.S. theaters September 9 through Neon. This review is based on the U.S. theatrical cut screened at AMC. Na Hong-jin has not directed a feature since The Wailing ten years ago. That is a long time to sit with high expectations. For roughly the first hour of Hope, I was ready to say the wait had been worth every day of it. The movie is beautiful immediately. Cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo, who also shot The Wail

By Devin Smock, MoreHorror.com SPOILERS THROUGHOUT Goody Goody begins streaming exclusively on Shudder September 18. Goody Goody understands something a lot of demon baby movies forget. Childbirth does not need a demon to become body horror. The demon is almost rude for showing up. I have a wife and children. I have stood on the other side of that room while somebody I love did the bleeding, breathing, pushing and hurting. There is a particular kind of uselessness to it. You

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

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
