If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend, we’ve got you covered. Several horror films were released this week that should be added to your weekend watch list. From dinosaurs to werewolves, there’s something for everyone.

Taking top billing at the box office, David Robert Mitchell’s mystery spectacle The End of Oak Street. It proves that suburban real estate drops in value fast when prehistoric leviathans move into the neighborhood. The theatrical release plunges an unsuspecting cul-de-sac into a displaced primeval landscape, leaving trapped residents stranded. They must navigate giant ancient predators. It serves up equal parts claustrophobic survival drama and blockbuster monster madness as if suburban homeownership wasn’t already stressful enough.

Vampires and Camper Vans Ruin Weekend Plans

Home audiences looking for fresh excuses to stay indoors received a heavy dose of folklore and spatial anxiety. Irish creature feature Feed landed on digital storefronts, proving that a family intervention is officially the worst possible time to awaken an ancient vampire named the Dearg-Due accidentally. Meanwhile, Shudder exclusively premiered the claustrophobic nightmare Hellcat, where a woman wakes up trapped in the back of a moving camper with a mysterious infected wound—forced to obey a mysterious voice over the intercom or face consequences far worse than motion sickness.

Retro Slashers and Unfortunate Fortunes

Genre fans craving pure 90s nostalgia were served a double feature of midweek madness. The Boy From Below hit VOD, showcasing a horror-obsessed video store clerk forced to fight off a masked killer who recreates famous slasher kills—an ultimate test of movie trivia with lethal stakes. On the same day, carnival horror entry Harbinger debuted, following a paranormal investigation crew that uncovers a mechanical fortune-telling machine that prints out precise, gruesome death warrants instead of cheap advice.

Heavy Metal and Satanic Paranoia

Rounding out the week’s body count, Carry the Darkness premiered exclusively on the BloodStream platform. Set during the peak of 1993’s Satanic Panic, the story follows a metalhead teenager framed by his hysterical small town for a series of horrific, otherworldly attacks. Packed with heavy guitar riffs and actual demonic threats, it offers a gloriously retro, headbanging spin on small-town paranoia for viewers hunting off-the-beaten-path scares.
