As someone who was there when the clock chimed 12 on New Year’s 1999, I can vouch for the panic and fear felt by the world as we waited for the Y2K chaos to strike. That may be why I’m so excited about A24‘s new horror comedy Y2K, set to premiere this December. The first trailer is here, teasing panic and gruesome deaths as a group of kids at a party are attacked by machines in brutal and bloody ways as Y2K struck the world.

After A Disappointing Theatrical Run ‘Borderlands’ is Coming Home

Borderlands is swiftly transitioning from theaters to home screens. The film will be available on digital and VOD later this month, just weeks after its theatrical release. The video game adaptation has faced significant challenges, both critically and commercially. With a dismal 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a disappointing $16.5 million global opening weekend, Borderlands has struggled to find success. Directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Death Wish), Borderlands, made on a $100 million budget, takes us to Pandora. It’s a lawless wasteland with bandits, alien creatures, and untold riches. Here, we meet Lilith (Cate Blanchett), a legendary bounty hunter with a shrouded past. Lilith is tasked with finding the missing daughter of the powerful villain, Atlas (Edgar Ramírez).

The Adams Family Discusses Their New Horror Movie ‘Hell Hole’ in Our Interview

When it comes to a true filmmaking family, there’s no family like the Adams family. The parent-child team features father John Adams, mother Toby Poser, and daughters Zelda and Lulu Adams, who are a force to be reckoned with regarding indie horror. The filmmakers have a long history of creating unnerving, fright-filled films like The Devil Roams (2023) and Hellbender (2021). Now, they have a new horror movie, Hell Hole. I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Toby and John about their wild new movie Hell Hole, which is part body horror and part creature feature. It’s a must-see while it departs from their iconic dark, gritty horror films. It’s a bloody, wild film filled with dark humor and practical effects. Hell Hole sees a fracking crew working deep in the Serbian wilderness at odds with government-assigned environmental advisors. When they begin to drill, the workers uncover the unimaginable: a dormant parasitic monster entombed deep in the rock. Now
