If you aren’t watching the MGM+ sci-fi horror series “FROM,” you are missing out on some of the absolute best pure terror on television. Currently in its fourth season, the series has pushed its nightmarish, trapped town into unprecedented levels of absolute chaos and carnage. At the center of this season’s emotional storm is Fatima, played by Pegah Ghafoori. She delivers a fantastic, heartbreakingly raw performance. Fatima has easily endured some of the series’ most harrowing trials. She’s survived relentless danger, facing down death, and ultimately giving birth to a literal monster. Following the explosive season finale, we sat down with Ghafoori to discuss her character’s traumatic arc and the visceral horrors the cast faced this year. Of course, she isn’t navigating the madness alone. A powerhouse ensemble cast joins Ghafoori.

For months, the hype train for Undertone has been roaring down the tracks, fueled by a chorus of critics and viewers showering it with unconditional praise. Now that it’s finally landed on Max, I figured it was time to punch my ticket. Look, I know the horror fandom is intense, and I’m fully prepared for a pitchfork-wielding mob to assemble in my comments. But everyone is entitled to their opinion—including me. So, without further ado, let’s talk about why Undertone left me disappointed. The Good, The Bad, and The Boring Before I completely tear into it, let’s be fair: the cast did a fine job, including leading lady Nina Kiri. My issues don’t lie with the performances. My dismay began with the cinematography. The movie is absolutely obsessed with wide, panning shots. Over and over again, I found myself squinting at the screen, desperately trying to spot a ghost, a monster, or anything lurking in the shadows. Spoiler alert: there

After months of anticipation, the trailer for Robert Eggers’ Werwulf has finally been unleashed. And it is a glorious, mud-soaked vision of pure dread. If you’re expecting the usual Hollywood checklist of full moons, silver bullets, or tragic “woe-is-me” bites, think again. In a recent interview with Esquire, Eggers revealed he is aggressively stripping away modern cinematic tropes to rebuild the monster from its primal, terrifying roots. Set against the bleak, unforgiving backdrop of 13th-century England, the film follows a creature stalking the countryside and turning ancient folklore into a living, breathing nightmare. A Powerhouse Ensemble (Eggers’ Frequent Fliers) True to form, Eggers has assembled an elite cast of heavy-hitters and favorite collaborators to bring this historical horror to life. Eggers has assembled an elite cast of heavy-hitters and favorite collaborators. Leading the pack are Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp, both hot off their work on the director’s Nosferatu.

The maestro of neon-drenched nihilism is finally back where he belongs. After spending a decade wandering the prestige television wilderness—and briefly giving film critics absolute whiplash by directing a wholesome BBC children’s show—radical avant-garde auteur Nicolas Winding Refn is returning to the silver screen with Her Private Hell. The highly anticipated feature marks Refn’s first traditional cinematic outing since 2016’s hyper-stylized, flesh-eating fashion nightmare, The Neon Demon. To celebrate his homecoming, the very first poster has officially arrived, promising a return to his beautifully brutal, synth-heavy roots. The Setup: Tokyo Drift (Into Madness) True to form, Her Private Hell is a sleek thriller set against the glowing, rain-slicked backdrop of Tokyo. If Refn’s track record (Drive, Only God Forgives) is anything to go by, audiences should prepare for an avalanche of gorgeous cinematography, long, silent stares, pulsating electronic beats, and explosions of extreme violence. The narrative kicks off when a thick, unnatural mist descends upon the metropolis, unleashing a deadly

Forget renting a limo or worrying about who is going to ask you to the dance. This year, the cool kids are skipping the crowning ceremony entirely—mostly because the alternative is a knife to the chest. Dark Star Pictures has officially announced that its buzzy slasher, You’re Dead to Me, will slice its way onto Digital and On Demand this July. The film promises a blood-soaked love letter to late-’90s teen horror staples like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, but updated with a distinctly modern, highly chaotic twist. Prom Night is a Dead End The plot follows a trio of high school seniors who decide that prom is far too mainstream and opt instead for a secluded weekend getaway free from parents, curfews, and real-world responsibilities. Naturally, because this is a horror movie and teenagers aren’t allowed to have nice things, their influencer-worthy retreat takes a sharp turn into terror when they discover one of their

As horror fans, we spend our lives chasing a very specific dragon. We scour endless rows of streaming titles and theater marquee lists, hunting for that elusive, traumatic thrill that made us fall in love with the genre in the first place. More often than not, it’s a disappointing cycle that leaves us craving a spark we can rarely recapture. But last night, I finally felt that old chill again. I sat down to watch Curry Barker’s independent phenomenon, Obsession. I’ll admit I was actively dreading it, terrified that the staggering online hype wouldn’t hold up. Thankfully, I can look you dead in the eye and tell you it made me feel like a terrified nine-year-old peeking through my fingers at Friday the 13th all over again. Obsession goes vastly beyond cheap gore and goo; it is an emotional, heartbreaking, and deeply disturbing descent into psychological ruin. And if you’re a cat parent, brace yourself. WARNING: Mild Spoilers! A Wish

Forget everything you know about safe tropical excursions. A new high-stakes fight for survival creature feature is coming full speed. The shark movie The Bay is arriving this July and has a new trailer for you to take a bite of. A commercial tour boat takes a handful of wealthy visitors out to a remote, strictly restricted shark sanctuary. Naturally, because this is a survival thriller, things go horribly wrong out on the open water. It’s time for you to sink your teeth into the new trailer, which reminds us that sharks don’t see us as friends; we’re food. Shark Bait Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Jeff Vespa, The Bay relies on an incredibly tight-knit ensemble to sell its claustrophobic chaos.

Who needs the Marvel Cinematic Universe anyway? While Disney continues to leave him spinning his wheels in development hell for the long-delayed Blade reboot, two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali has decided to take matters—and a giant, razor-sharp edge—into his own hands. Amazon MGM Studios has just unleashed the first official teaser trailer for Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, a relentless new action thriller slated for a wide theatrical release this October. Written and directed by Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli), the film casts Ali as a devoutly religious hitman. He is forced to slash his way across Houston. He’s on a mission to protect his children following the death of his wife. Think profound existential crisis, heavy family drama, and an absolute metric ton of carnage. Slicing Through the Red Tape The teaser trailer keeps its narrative cards close to its chest. However, it does prove that Ali is fully locked into his career-action-hero era.

Have you ever watched a deeply disturbing, fluids-heavy body horror movie and thought, “Man, I really wish I knew what that nastiness smelled like”? No? Well, too bad, because MUBI is making you smell it anyway. In a move that is equal parts brilliant and deeply unhinged, an upcoming screening of Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror masterpiece, The Substance, is getting the full “Odorama” treatment.

Two names you likely never expected to see sharing a production credit—melodrama mogul Tyler Perry and horror kingpin Jason Blum—have joined forces for Strung. It’s a twisted psychological thriller now streaming on Peacock. I braved the madness so you don’t have to. And the verdict is in: this movie is an absolute orchestra of chaos. Classic Thriller Fodder The setup is classic thriller fodder. Chloe Bailey stars as a talented violinist hired by a formidable grandmother (Lynn Whitfield) to be the live-in tutor for a young girl (Romy Woods). The red flags start waving the second Chloe unpacks her bags at the family mansion. She realizes she’s already had a one-night stand with the girl’s stepfather (Lucien Laviscount). Add in a heavily pregnant mother (Coco Jones) radiating pure, unhinged energy right off the bat, and you have a recipe for disaster. Naturally, it doesn’t take long for Chloe and the dad to rekindle their illicit flame. But wait—it’s a trap!
