Norway has already mastered the art of the mountain troll and the tunnel collapse; now, it’s coming for the coastline. Kraken, the latest creature feature from the land of the midnight sun, has just dropped its first trailer, proving that some legends are better left at the bottom of a fjord. Something Fishy in the Fjord The trouble starts with the salmon. When wild salmon begin exhibiting “unnatural behavior”—which, in horror movie terms, is the universal signal to move inland—inexplicable deaths begin piling up in Norway’s deepest fjord. The culprit? An ancient, multi-armed nightmare that has decided its centuries-long nap is officially over. This isn’t just a giant squid; it’s a sentient, crushing machine that reacts to movement and sound. If you breathe too loudly, you’re sushi. The Creative Team behind the Chaos Director Pål Øie, who mastered the art of claustrophobia with The Tunnel, shifts his focus from suffocating concrete to the crushing pressure of the abyss. The script

Brace yourself, Bruce (the iconic shark from Jaws), there’s a new apex predator in town, and it has a significantly higher BMI and an even worse attitude. The first trailer and poster for Hungry have officially surfaced, serving as a visceral reminder that the “Big Easy” is about to get a whole lot bloodier. We have more good news to share, thanks to the attention from fine horror fiends. The theatrical date is now moving up to June 3rd! This Isn’t Your Childhood Board Game Despite the title, this is definitely not a whimsical, live-action adaptation of the Hasbro game we all played as kids. There are no plastic marbles here—only tragedy. The story follows a group of thrill-seeking tourists on a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which, in horror movie speak, translates directly to “everyone is going to die”—the group ends up off the map and very much on the menu.

The grandmaster of “splatstick” has officially moved his latest nightmare from the multiplex to your living room. Send Help is now streaming, bringing a fresh wave of Sam Raimi-flavored mayhem to the desert island subgenre. A Tropical Nightmare with a Raimi Twist The director built his throne on the foundations of The Evil Dead. But he has traded the Necronomicon for something far more grounded—and arguably more terrifying. There are no demons or deadites here. Instead, the horror is purely human. The story follows two survivors, played by Dylan O’Brien and Rachel McAdams, who find themselves stranded on a remote island. What begins as a standard “man vs. nature” survivalist mission quickly devolves into a “man vs. man” (and woman vs. man) war of psychological and physical attrition. Critics are calling their performances a “deliciously nasty battle of wits” that escalates from tactical survival to absolutely psychotic satire. The Return of the “Ick” Factor Sam Raimi hasn’t lost his appetite

Matt Shakman is officially trading the Marvel “Sacred Timeline” for a world where humanity is firmly at the bottom of the food chain. 20th Century Studios has tapped the director to shepherd the next installment of the Planet of the Apes franchise. A ‘Fantastic’ Reunion Shakman isn’t making the jump to the forbidden zone alone. He is reuniting with screenwriter Josh Friedman. Friedman penned both Shakman’s Fantastic Four: First Steps and the previous simian hit, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Friedman has become the franchise’s secret weapon. Kingdom swung through the box office to a tune of $400 million on a $160 million budget. With this duo at the helm, the studio is clearly looking to maintain the momentum of a series that has grossed over $2 billion globally across the last 15 years. The Pedigree of a Showrunner While plot details are currently being kept in a high-security enclosure, Shakman’s track record suggests a blend of high-concept

After making audiences collectively cringe at the sight of a cheese grater in 2023’s Evil Dead Rise, director Lee Cronin is trading urban high-rises for ancient sand. Having turned demonic family trauma into a $147 million profit, Cronin has been handed the keys to the Universal tomb. And his latest project, The Mummy, is currently haunting theaters and prepares to invade homes on Digital this May. This Isn’t Your 90s Adventure. If you’re expecting a charming, wisecracking Brendan Fraser, you’re looking in the wrong sarcophagus. Revealed in late 2024 as a complete reimagining of the classic monster, Cronin’s trade humor for haunting terror. According to Cronin, this version is “unlike any Mummy movie you’ve ever laid eyeballs on.” In his world, that usually means those eyeballs are lucky to stay in their sockets. The film returns the character to its roots: a terrifying, ancient force of nature. The Cast of Casualties The story centers on a family that probably should
