Last year, they entered the video game world, founding a publishing company that would focus on lower budget horror projects. At Summer Games Fest this year, they revealed a lineup of […]

There’s been an exciting influx of female transformation horror films in recent years, such as The First Omen, Smile 2, The Substance, and Titane.

More often than not, psychological torment and werewolf horror go hand in hand. Becoming one of these howling, hirsute monsters of the night is no easy experience, physically or emotionally speaking. And in The Forest Hills, Scott Goldberg taps into that anguish and then some with both enthusiasm and awkwardness. The movie’s protagonist endures the […]

For a solo developer (working against the inevitable time, resourcing, and technical constraints that come with that territory), Daniel Ferrer has set himself quite the challenge with his latest project. On the surface, Among Ashes may not look like much, boasting — as it does — lo-fi visuals and rudimentary mechanics. But should you afford […]

Parker Finn refuses to take the safest, most obvious path in Smile 2, the follow-up to his 2022 hit film. Adhering to the time-honored tradition of going bigger and harder for the horror sequel, Smile 2 declares itself a far more ruthless and intense journey from its opening sequence, a shockingly violent re-introduction into this […]

“What is our current dark purpose?” Each What We Do in the Shadows season has been interested in the unique growing pains experienced by Staten Island’s favorite misanthropic vampires, but there’s a sense of catharsis and closure in the series’ sixth and final season.

“Teacup,” Peacock’s new series executive produced by James Wan, is a tricky one to write about. Writer, producer, and showrunner Ian McCulloch (Yellowstone) draws very little from Robert McCammon’s Stinger, opting for a modern, minimalist interpretation of the horror western, one driven almost entirely by its central mystery. The eight-episode inaugural season is so structured around its enigmatic threat, […]
