It’s the final week of September, and you better believe the new horror releases are going to ramp up big time in the coming weeks. But first we’ve got SEVEN new movies this week!

Here’s all the new horror releasing September 25 – October 1, 2023.

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.


The ultra-violent horror movie Megalomaniac (read Meagan’s review) was released in select theaters earlier this month, and the film hit VOD outlets on Tuesday, September 26.

Winner of the top Jury Prize (Best Feature) at the Fantasia Film Festival, this brutal and dark serial killer film utilizes the backdrop of an unsolved true crime.

With Megalomaniac, prolific filmmaker Karim Ouelhaj, Méliès d’Or winner for The Frozen Eye (2016), brings us his fourth feature and by far his most savage.

In the film, “Martha and Félix are the children of the Butcher of Mons, a notorious Belgian serial killer from the 1990s. Unstable and riddled with insecurities, Martha lives vicariously through social media. Her brother, crushed by the family legacy, takes over their father’s killings. Harassed and violently assaulted at work, the docile Martha falls into madness and goes through the looking glass into the strange and terrifying world inhabited by her brother.”

Eline Schumacher, Wim Willaert, Benjamin Ramon, Pierre Nisse, and Raphaëlle Lubansu star.


Fans of Train to Busan probably won’t want to miss Well Go USA’s Gangnam Zombie, a South Korean horror movie that was released onto Digital and Blu-ray on Tuesday.

“In the wealthy Gangnam district in the heart of Seoul, mass chaos ensues when previously normal people suddenly begin viciously attacking other citizens, leading an elite former taekwondo athlete to take on one final match against the walking dead.”

Gangnam Zombie is directed by LEE Su-seong (Memories, House with a Good View) and stars Ji Il-ju (Blades of Blood), PARK Ji-yeon (Death Bell 2: Bloody Camp) from the chart-topping girl group T-Ara, and CHO Kyung-hoon (North Korean Guys).


Demon to some… angel to others. Doug Bradley is back in the upcoming horror movie The Exorcists, a riff on William Friedkin’s horror classic that’s releasing this week.

Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) stars in director Jose Prendes’ The Exorcists alongside Michelle Bauer, Kate Hodge, Kayla Fields, Denise Duff, Robert Donavan and Victor Maraña.


Saw X Review - Saw Shawnee Smith

We’re just days away from the return of Jigsaw and Amanda in 10th installment Saw X, a sequel to James Wan’s original horror classic that takes place before the events of Saw II.

Saw X releases in theaters on Friday, September 29.

Lionsgate teases, “The return of Tobin Bell to the franchise furthers Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ goal of a film that captures everything Saw fans love about the franchise, while also keeping them guessing with all-new traps and a new mystery to solve.”

“John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back for the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s final games.”

“Set between the events of Saw I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable.

“The infamous killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.”

Kevin Greutert (Saw VI, Saw 3D) directed Saw X for Lionsgate.


Nightmare trailer

For one woman, dreams and ambition turn into a literal Nightmare when a mythical demon invades. Nightmare makes its exclusive streaming debut on Shudder this Friday.

In Nightmare, “Mona and Robby are a young couple in love. Robby has just landed his dream job, and they’ve scored an amazing deal on a spacious, if run-down, flat. Never mind that it requires quite a bit of renovation. Never mind the neighbors’ constant fighting, and screaming baby… Never mind that Mona is suddenly plagued by night terrors which grow more intense every time she falls asleep… Robby is eager to start a family, despite Mona’s hesitation.

“Eventually, Mona’s issues spiral dangerously out of control as she becomes convinced that she is being attacked by a mythical demon – the Mare – intent on possessing her unborn child.”

The Norwegian language film hails from writer/director Kjersti Helen Raasmussen (The Tunnel). Nightmare was produced by Einar Loftesnes and John Einar Hagen.
