If you thought inheriting a secluded farm in Venezuela was a peaceful way to process intense marital grief, The Whistler (2026) is here to politely—and terrifyingly—disagrees. This horror-mystery delivers a potent mix of cultural folklore and supernatural dread. It proves once and for all that some property inheritances are better left unclaimed. When Coping Mechanisms Go Rogue The film centers on Nicole (Diane Guerrero) and Sebastian (Juan Pablo Raba). They are a couple shattered by the devastating loss of their daughter. In desperate need of a reset, they pack up and move to a remote, inherited estate in Venezuela. Unfortunately, the property already has squatters: a local cult whose primary hobby is summoning the dead. Desperate to reconnect with her daughter, Nicole ignores every standard horror-movie red flag and joins in on the cult’s rituals. Instead of a heartwarming family reunion, she accidentally awakens “The Whistler,” an ancient, malicious entity. It’s signature tune signals impending doom and compels those who

If you thought your dating life was a horror movie, just be glad you aren’t Bear. Director Curry Barker‘s horror movie, Obsession, is currently terrorizing audiences and making everyone rethink their relationship boundaries. The movie, now in theaters, has already racked up a staggering 96% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Simp-to-Psycho Pipeline The plot centers on Bear (Michael Johnston). He is a lonely music store employee who is trapped so deep in the friend zone with Nikki (Inde Navarrette) that he can’t even see the light of day. Instead of doing normal things like “downloading Tinder” or “going to therapy,” Bear finds a mysterious, aggressively creepy toy and uses it to make a supernatural wish to win Nikki’s heart. Because this is a Blumhouse film and not a 90s Rom-Com, the universe immediately gives Bear a masterclass in buyer’s remorse. His wish is granted, but the results lean significantly more toward “frantic sprint for survival” than “happily ever

Fresh off the bloody success of his survival thriller Send Help, Sam Raimi is refusing to let horror fans catch their breath. Last year, we learned he was producing a reboot of the 1978 psychological cult classic Magic. Now, he has officially upgraded his status to director—because why watch from the sidelines when you can personally orchestrate a dummy-induced panic attack? The Team: Getting the Band Back Together This “newly imagined” take on the vintage killer-doll flick is set up at Lionsgate and features a killer lineup of creative talent. Raimi is reuniting with Send Help scribes Mark Swift and Damian Shannon (the delightfully chaotic minds who also gave us Freddy vs. Jason). Joining Raimi in the dugout are horror heavyweights Roy Lee, Chris Hammond, and Tim Sullivan, with Meredith Wieck and Pavan Kalidindi overseeing the madness for Lionsgate. Given the agonizing psychological warfare Swift and Shannon cooked up for Send Help, handing them and Raimi a psychotic wooden puppet

Most family disagreements involve politics or who forgot to wash the dishes. For the Studey family, the debate is a little more intense: namely, whether or not dear old Dad was a prolific serial killer. Paramount+ is set to explore this deeply unsettling game of “he said, she said” with its new documentary series, My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders. The docuseries aims to posthumously unmask the rumored “Monster of Green Hollow,” a man some believe murdered dozens of people decades ago. But did he? The Well of Horrors vs. The “Big, Fat Lie” The spine of the series rests on a bizarre debate between two sisters regarding their late father, Donald Studey: The Accuser: Lucy Studey claims she doesn’t just suspect her father was a monster. She alleges she was an eyewitness. Lucy maintains that Don dumped dozens of victims into a stone water well on their property. She even claims she helped him cover the bodies in

If you think your current living situation is tense, wait until you meet your new landlord. Italian indie studio Games On A Chair—alongside publisher Pretty Soon—has officially pulled back the curtain on FEED IT. This psychological horror game makes “splitting the grocery bill” look like a walk in the park. The reveal trailer dropped today, and it’s all about jump scares and more about the crushing realization that you are basically a sentient Uber Eats driver for a monster. The Hook: “Hangry” is an “Understatement In FEED IT, you aren’t with a shotgun or a magic spell. You’re the guy in a house with a creature that has an extremely high metabolism and a very short fuse. The gameplay revolves around a single, agonizing choice: Feed the Monster: You stay safe, but you slowly starve to death. Feed Yourself: You stay nourished, but the creature in the next room is going to have a very loud, very violent opinion about

If you thought your last breakup was messy, try leaving a coven of sadistic fanatics. Filming has officially wrapped on The Heretiks, a witchy home-invasion horror flick that sounds like a fever dream for anyone who misses the ’80s and fears the occult. The project comes from the twisted minds of Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins—the writing duo who previously made us uncomfortable with The Night House, Super Dark Times, and the 2022 Hellraiser reboot. The Plot: A Very Bad Halloween Set against a nostalgic 1980s Halloween backdrop, the film follows Cai (Kimberly Epstein), a renegade witch who clearly didn’t get a “good luck on your future endeavors” card from her former coven. Instead of moving on, the coven’s leader, a “sadistic fanatic” named Neve (Tess Williams), is dead-set on bringing about the apocalypse. The plan? A casual Halloween night sacrifice involving a young girl named Mabel. Cai must step up as the ultimate supernatural bodyguard to protect Mabel and

Summer camp is rarely a peaceful getaway in the world of thrillers, and Netflix’s upcoming prestige mystery is no exception. Ella Rubin (Until Dawn, Fear Street: Prom Queen) has officially signed on to join the sprawling, multi-generational adaptation of Liz Moore’s bestselling 2024 novel, The God of the Woods. Rubin joins a high-caliber ensemble that already includes Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) and Oscar nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin). Wealth, Secrets, and a Missing Child Set against the deceptively scenic backdrop of the Adirondacks, the series tracks the slow-motion implosion of the ultra-wealthy Van Laar family. When 13-year-old Barbara Van Laar vanishes from her family’s summer camp, it forces a collision between the town’s distinct social classes and unearths an older family tragedy that everyone would prefer stayed buried.

If you’ve spent any time on the “That’s a Bad Idea” YouTube channel or lost sleep over the viral hit Milk & Serial, you know Curry Barker has a knack for making the mundane feel deeply threatening.

Landing in theaters today, May 15, 2026, the film has already secured a 96% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems Barker’s jump from YouTube sensation to Blumhouse director was a very good idea. Be Careful What You Wish For (Seriously) The film follows Bear (Michael Johnston).

In 1977, John Boorman released Exorcist II: The Heretic, a sequel so ambitious, surreal, and baffling that it nearly exorcised his career right out of Hollywood. Now, nearly fifty years later, Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired the North American rights to Boorman and the Devil, a documentary dedicated to one of cinema’s most fascinating “glorious failures.” Directed by David Kittredge and produced alongside genre veteran Travis Stevens (Jodorowsky’s Dune), the film is a deep dive into the chaos, the legacy, and the sheer audacity of a sequel that refused to play it safe. A Love Letter to the “Big Swing” While Exorcist II is often cited as one of the most infamous follow-ups in history, Boorman and the Devil seek to reframe the narrative rather than mock the locusts and the tap-dancing. The documentary explores the importance of taking massive creative risks. The film features a “who’s who” of genre royalty discussing the sequel’s cult status and Boorman’s visionary (if
