If you thought your teenage dating life was a horror show, Leviticus is here to make your awkward prom photos look like a walk in the park. After causing a massive stir at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival—and walking away with a prestigious distribution deal from NEON—this queer supernatural thriller is officially set to set theaters ablaze this summer. Forget the slow-burn dread of the Arctic; this is a visceral, “mercilessly upsetting” descent into religious fanaticism in backcountry Australia. Double the Trouble Set in an isolated Australian town where the local pastime seems to be “repressive religious zealotry,” the film follows two star-crossed teens, Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen). When their budding romance is discovered, a botched attempt at conversion therapy (masquerading as a ritual) accidentally unleashes a demonic entity. The twist? This isn’t your average jump-scare monster. The entity takes the form of the person you desire most. Ryan’s chilling warning to Naim—“If you see anything that

Sam Raimi’s Send Help Landing on Hulu If you prefer your survival thrillers with a side of “Oh god, why am I watching this?”, then Sam Raimi has a gift for you. The undisputed king of gross-out horror is bringing his latest stomach-churning masterpiece, Send Help, to streaming. After raking in a cool $94 million at the box office—comfortably doubling its $40 million budget—Raimi’s “horror renaissance” is proving that audiences still have a massive appetite for the macabre. A Different Kind of Evil While Raimi built his throne on the supernatural foundations of The Evil Dead, he’s traded the Necronomicon for something a bit more grounded, but no less visceral. There are no demons here—just the terrifying reality of being stranded on a desert island with a survival battle that escalates from “unfortunate” to “absolutely psychotic.” The film stars Dylan O’Brien and Rachel McAdams, who deliver what critics are calling a “deliciously nasty battle of wits.” As their characters struggle

If you thought being trapped in a rickety submarine on an alien moon sounded like a bad time, Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach has roughly $51 million reasons to disagree. His debut feature, Iron Lung, hasn’t just survived its theatrical run—it has thrived, officially cementing itself as one of the top five highest-grossing horror films of 2026. Based on David Szymanski’s claustrophobic indie game, the film is a masterclass in the “less is more” school of terror. With a budget of just $3 million, Markiplier’s self-distributed “creep-fest” has delivered a massive return. It proves that audiences are hungry for high-concept horror, even if it involves 80,000 gallons of fake blood and a protagonist welded into a metal tube. The YouTube Revolution: A New Distribution Model For those wondering why a digital release hasn’t hit yet, Fischbach isn’t just looking for a platform—he’s building a new one. Mark is currently in the “final phase” of a deal to become a digital aggregator for

If you’ve been checking your watch for the last 25 years, you can finally take a breath. Rick and Evy aren’t just coming back; they’re coming back early. Universal Pictures has officially exhumed The Mummy 4 from its 2028 tomb and moved the release date up to October 15, 2027. The film—which marks the triumphant reunion of Academy Award winners Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz—was originally eyeing a May 2028 slot. However, the studio has cleared the runway for a “spooky season” launch, essentially swapping places with the Miami Vice ’85 reboot. The Gang’s All Here While the plot is being kept under more wraps than a fresh mummy in Hamunaptra, we do know we’re getting a reunion. Fraser and Weisz return as Rick and Evelyn O’Connell for the first time since 2001’s The Mummy Returns. (We’re all collectively choosing to pretend 2008 didn’t happen). The news doesn’t stop there. John Hannah is officially confirmed to return as the ever-unfortunate

The infamous 1978 cult classic that once fueled urban legends and parental nightmares is officially back, but this time, the “snuff” is a bit more self-aware. Shudder’s reimagining of Faces of Death has just begun its theatrical run, and the early critical consensus suggests it’s not exactly a flatline. While the original was a grimy anthology of “real” (and famously faked) death footage, this 2026 update trades the VHS aesthetic for the digital dread of the modern internet. The story follows a content moderator who descends into a rabbit hole of videos that meticulously—and violently—recreate iconic death scenes from cinema history. It’s a meta-horror setup that asks: in an era of endless scrolling, what does it take actually to shock us? Early Reviews Early reviews are trickling in, and the film currently holds a respectable 60% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics seem split between praising its direction and worrying it’s trying to be a bit too “intellectual” for a splatter

Plaion Pictures has confirmed that the upcoming creature feature Killer Whale will splash onto all major digital platforms this May.

Godolkin University Is Officially Closing Its Doors. It looks like the tuition at Godolkin University finally became too much to bear. “Gen V,” the gore-soaked college spinoff of “The Boys,” has been expelled. Amazon Prime Video has opted not to renew the series for a third season, meaning the sophomore slump was also its final bow. The news comes despite a strong start for Season 2 last autumn, but even Compound V couldn’t keep the show’s momentum from flatlining in the ratings. Graduation… or Just an Early Exit? In a joint statement (via Variety), executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg tried to soften the blow for fans of the God U crew: “While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we’re committed to continuing the Gen V characters’ stories in The Boys Season 5 and other VCU projects on the horizon. You’ll see them again.” Translation: The show is dead, but the survivors are

If you’re the type of person who gets nervous when the Wi-Fi drops, Uncork’d Entertainment has a new reason for you to fear the dark. Blackout is set to short-circuit your sense of reality when it hits Digital and On Demand platforms this May. The Lights Go Out, the Nightmare Begins Written and directed by Shane Aquino (Road Dogs), the film takes a simple premise and twists it into a sci-fi psychological thriller. After a sudden power outage, the world doesn’t just lose its lights—it loses its mind. The survivors wake up to a world of “eternal night.” One in which each individual is trapped in their own isolated reality. Just as everyone is getting used to the total lack of a sun, a group of mysterious figures called The Ushers appears. They claim they can lead the survivors to “the end.” But only if they’re willing to make a final, irreversible choice. Pro tip: In a horror movie, the

Prepare to have your childhood memories turned to pulp. Roadside Attractions and Saban Films have officially snagged the North American rights to Buddy, the Sundance standout that left audiences questioning their sanity. If the name Casper Kelly sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the deranged genius behind the viral fever dream Too Many Cooks and the “Cheddar Goblin” from Mandy. Now, he’s making his theatrical feature debut, and he’s brought along an A-list cast of future trauma victims. Sesame Street, But Make It Scary The film is set inside a children’s television show that doesn’t just go off the rails—it drives the train directly into a canyon of madness. Imagine the bright colors, catchy songs, and wholesome puppets, then add a relentless descent into psychological and physical horror. According to Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d’Arbeloff, the film succeeds by turning “comfort food into poison.” It’s a genre-bending ride that reportedly earned “must-see” status at both Sundance and SXSW.
