Terror Tuesday: Extreme combines the experience of call-in radio shows with Thailand’s unique brand of modern horror. This new, eight-episode anthology series is inspired by the popular EFM radio program, Terror Tuesday, where listeners share their own frightening (and supposedly true) tales. Viewers will be lured in by the “based on real events” angle, but […]

From the genre-defining classics A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream to such transgressive works as The Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes to cult favorites like The People Under the Stairs and The Serpent and the Rainbow, Wes Craven’s reign of terror spanned not only decades but generations.

Watching horror movies about camping seems as much a beloved pastime as actual camping. The concept of campers being terrorized by someone or something in the great outdoors has timeless appeal.

Much like Fede Alvarez‘s feature debut, 2013’s Evil Dead, Alien: Romulus explores a sibling relationship at the center of the carnage. Of course, it’s also baked into the title, a reference to the myth of twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the mythical founders of Rome who were abandoned as babies and fated for fratricidal tragedy. […]

Japanese filmmaker Kôji Shiraishi knows his way around a haunt, having established a reputation for scare crafting with documentary-style horror movies Noroi: The Curse, Occult, and A Record of Sweet Murder.

It should come as no surprise that M. Night Shyamalan‘s take on the classic Hitchockian suspense thriller Trap isn’t quite as straightforward as the marketing materials suggest. The central hook, which sees a serial killer unwittingly let in on the secret that a pop concert is an elaborate trap to catch him, seemingly gives the […]

Oscar-nominated documentarian Pedro Kos (Rebel Hearts, Lead Me Home) approaches his narrative feature debut, In Our Blood, like a documentary. It’s even woven into the core fabric of the narrative, using the framework of filmmakers setting out to make a documentary to explore vulnerable communities through horror. While that ultimately means falling into the trappings […]

French filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the duo behind Inside, Leatherface, and The Deep House, step outside of horror ever so slightly for their latest, The Soul Eater. The adaptation of Alexis Laipsker‘s novel, penned by Annelyse Batrel and Ludovic Lefebvre, dabbles in the supernatural to lend atmosphere and intrigue to a standard investigative thriller. While its […]

The Adams Family, an actual family unit of filmmakers comprised of father John Adams, mother Tobey Poser, and their daughters, quickly established a punk rock DIY spirit, wearing multiple hats each on films The Deeper You Dig, Hellbender, and last year’s Where the Devil Roams.

Director Isaac Ezban (Evil Eye, The Similars, The Incident) continues exploring themes of family through a fantasy horror lens with his latest, Párvulos. As its title indicates, roughly translating to pre-schoolers or toddlers, the coming-of-age dystopian fable follows three young brothers, practically newborn babes, discovering the perils and pleasures of life after a world-ending pandemic. Ezban reinvigorates […]

One thing I enjoy about the modern indie tabletop RPG space is that when a game comes around with a great foundation, it often gets a ton of support in the form of new adventures from both the original creators and fans alike. Mork Bork, Mothership, and Trophy blew up in popularity largely because of […]
