If you like your road trip served with a side of extreme splatter, your mid-July plans are officially locked in. The wizards at Unearthed Films are bringing iconic gore-maestro Olaf Ittenbach’s 2001 masterpiece, Legion of the Dead, to Blu-ray.

When a massive Hollywood blockbuster hits the silver screen, you can always count on two inevitable truths: audiences will flood the theaters, and the legendary cinematic trolls at The Asylum will immediately release a “mockbuster” version to cash in on the hype. Their latest target? Literal world history. A brand-new trailer for The Odyssey gives us our first look at The Asylum’s unique spin on the iconic Greek epic poem. The Asylum’s Take on an Epic Tale The official synopsis reads exactly like the SparkNotes you desperately skimmed in high school. Based on the ancient Greek epic. After ten years of brutal war, King Odysseus sets sail for Ithaca, eager to reunite with his beloved. However, his journey home is far more treacherous than the battlefield. He must face deadly monsters and vengeful gods to survive. Like Homer’s original tale, the trailer follows King Odysseus. He must navigate a nightmare of treacherous encounters on his way back to his wife.

Are you looking to stay out of the heat, skip the fireworks, but still feel a bit patriotic? We’ve got you covered. Here’s the ultimate 4th of July watch list, and we’ll even tell you where you can watch them. The Sci-Fi Horror Heavyweight: Independence Day (1996) While traditionally celebrated as a sci-fi action blockbuster, Roland Emmerich’s masterpiece leans heavily into creature-feature horror territory. From the suffocating dread of city-destroying shadows to the infamous, genuinely terrifying alien autopsy scene, it treats its hostile extraterrestrial invaders like unstoppable, predatory monsters. It remains the ultimate July 4th cinematic tradition. It comes complete with iconic explosions, peak Jeff Goldblum, and a presidential speech that still delivers goosebumps. You can currently stream it on Hulu and Disney+. You can also rent it on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The Definitive Holiday Slasher: I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) This is the ultimate 4th of July slasher. The entire

AnyMart (Japan, 2026) Official Synopsis Sakai, the protagonist, works as an assistant manager at a local convenience store. Outside of work, he lives a quiet, routine life — playing online games and using dating apps — having spent most of his twenties tied to the store. The store is his entire world. And yet, beyond its doors, the world itself seems to be coming to an end. Review Shõta Sometani as Sakai, a clerk at the convenience store owned by his gruff, stick-to-corporate-rules father, gives a fine performance. His character is all but dead on the inside at work, and not much motivated socially or otherwise outside of his job, although he attempts romantic connections, awkward though they may be. Sometani nails this everyman character as writer/director Yusuke Iwasaki uses the konbini and his protagonist as a representation of the frustrations of twentysomething life in modern Japan. The kills are sudden and often shocking, the gore is impressive, and the

Official Synopsis In the house where a father and daughter live together, a heavy silence lingers, and an unbridgeable distance remains. The father toils at an inexplicable task, while the daughter goes through her days in a quiet routine. But soon, a strange change overtakes his body. Review Kenichi Ugana has earned the title of auteur. He has been crafting independent genre features and shorts since 2010 that range from bizarre shockers (Visitors; Extraneous Matter: Complete Edition; Love Will Tear Us Apart) to a heartwarming rom-com ode to filmmaking (I Fell In Love With A Z-Grade Director In Brooklyn), some decidedly more accessible than others. His latest film Oscillation looks at the strained relationship between a man (Haruki Itabashi) and his adult daughter (Reika Matsubara) and treads in both existential and body horror. The theme of distance and lack of connection runs throughout Oscillation. Not only do the father and daughter rarely speak, communicating through notes to each other almost

If you’ve been sitting around wondering when Halloween Horror Nights would finally tear your soul apart, today is your lucky day. Universal Studios has officially announced that, for the first time ever, Hellraiser is coming to the event. A terror-inducing haunted house based on the legendary original film trilogy will debut this fall at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. It turns out we can have nice things—they just happen to come with chains and Cenobites. Puzzle Boxes and Pinhead: A Brief History of Pain For the uninitiated, Hellraiser has been traumatizing audiences since Clive Barker first opened the Lemarchand Configuration puzzle box in his 1987 directorial debut. Stripping away the standard slasher tropes of the ’80s, the franchise introduced us to a realm of sadomasochistic terror ruled by the iconic Pinhead. While the movie franchise eventually spawned over a dozen sequels—sending the Cenobites everywhere from judgment-free cyberspace to actual outer space—HHN is wisely throwing it back to

If your ideal weekend getaway involves peace, quiet, and absolutely zero cell service, Farm House is here to ruin that fantasy politely. The highly anticipated psychological thriller has officially landed on Amazon Prime Video, courtesy of BayView Entertainment, bringing a heavy dose of claustrophobic, small-town dread to a global audience.

Inspired by a True Story The film draws its chilling inspiration from the infamous Warren County Serial Killings, reflecting on one of the most perplexing and tragic chapters in recent American true-crime history. Triple Duty Director Frank Palangi—already a favorite among indie horror circles for his previous tension-filled projects At Death’s Door and American Psychopath—shifts his lens here toward isolated, inescapable panic.

After making audiences collectively cross their legs at the sight of a cheese grater in 2023’s Evil Dead Rise, director Lee Cronin is trading blood-soaked urban high-rises for cursed desert sand. Having turned demonic family trauma into a whopping $147 million box-office profit, Universal has officially handed Cronin the keys to the tomb. His brutal new vision, The Mummy, is currently gearing up to invade living rooms on July 3 with its streaming debut on HBO. This Isn’t Your Dad’s 1990s Adventure. If you’re expecting a charming, wisecracking Brendan Fraser to save the day with a smirk and a shotgun, you are looking in the wrong sarcophagus. Announced in late 2024 as a complete, unapologetic reimagining of the classic monster, Cronin’s take trades high stakes and humor for claustrophobic, haunting terror. According to Cronin, this version is: “Unlike any Mummy movie you’ve ever laid eyeballs on.” Given his track record, that usually means those eyeballs are lucky to stay inside

Let’s be honest: up until now, nobody has been renewing their Netflix subscription for the gaming section. It’s mostly been a quiet graveyard of mobile ports and synergy-heavy TV tie-ins. But that’s about to change with Unhinged. Unhinged is a unique interactive horror experience. It’s one that aggressively blurs the line between prestige cinema and video games. The streaming giant is finally delivering a “trans-media” experiment with actual legs. And best of all? The barrier to entry is delightfully low. You don’t need a $500 console; you need an active subscription and the smartphone currently glued to your hand. What Exactly Is Unhinged? While Unhinged lives in the “Netflix Games” tab, don’t expect to be doing any complex button-mashing. Minimal, high-immersion interactivity is the name of the game here. After scanning a QR code on your TV, your smartphone transforms into the controller, seamlessly tracking your movements to control the protagonist’s hands. Suddenly, your phone is a literal flashlight, guiding
