After a decade of players practically begging and pleading, the horror gaming gods have finally answered. Dead by Daylight, in a monumental partnership with Jason Universe, is officially welcoming the undisputed king of Camp Crystal Lake: Jason Voorhees. To celebrate Dead by Daylight’s massive 10th anniversary, the ultimate slasher is bringing his 45-year legacy of hockey masks and heavy breathing into the game. The carnage kicks off today, May 26, 2026, on the Steam Public Test Build (PTB), before officially slashing onto live servers on June 16, 2026. The Ultimate Milestone For a game that prides itself on being the “Avengers of Horror,” missing Jason was like throwing a pizza party and forgetting the pizza. He’s been the number-one requested character since 2016. “There was never a question that our 10th Anniversary Chapter couldn’t just be big – it needed to be something really special,” says Dave Richard, Sr. Creative Director. “When we started to see a path to finally

If you like your horror with a massive side of “unprocessed trauma” and a healthy dose of practical, squelching viscera, your next obsession has arrived. Independent studio ISOTRE Films and director Peter Klausner’s award-winning short film, Stomach It, made major waves at the Cannes Film Festival—and you can watch it right now from the comfort of your couch. After crushing a heavy-hitting indie festival circuit—racking up laurels at everything from Screamfest and Panic Fest to Nashville and FilmQuest—Klausner’s “punch to the gut” is finally ready for its global close-up. The Vibe: Cronenberg Meets Craven Klausner clearly isn’t interested in the clean, sanitized, CGI-heavy scares of modern jump-scare cinema. Stomach It is a blood-soaked meditation on extreme isolation that seamlessly fuses stomach-churning practical effects with psychological decay. It’s a beautifully grotesque love letter to vintage body horror that asks a terrifying question: What happens when you literally cannot stomach your own past? Cleaning Up After the Dead Starring Jon Lee Richardson

The digital panopticon just got a lot bloodier. As first reported by Fangoria, indie horror hub BloodStream has locked down the exclusive distribution rights to Game001 through Game005. It’s a multi-part, graphic horror series directed by a ghost. The films are credited entirely to “Playgame Tipplayer.” They are an anonymous filmmaker whose fiercely guarded, masked identity perfectly mirrors the faceless brutality of the movies themselves. The entire five-film cycle will drop simultaneously on June 1, 2026, exclusively for BloodStream subscribers, before expanding to wider digital platforms on August 1, 2026. The Pitch: Streaming Live From Your Nightmares The Game franchise drops viewers directly into a fractured, hyper-modern slasher setup: two female hikers cross paths with a masked killer in a remote forest. However, this isn’t a traditional walk in the woods. The perspective constantly mutates—shifting between the victims, the hunter, and various recording devices. The acts of filming, streaming, clout-chasing, and spectating are folded directly into the bloodshed. This forces

Society’s obsession with weight and appearance has always been a bit parasitic. But director Natalie Erika James (Relic) is taking that metaphor to a terrifying, literal extreme. Independent Film Company (IFC) has just released Sacchrine in theaters, a supernatural body-horror film that turns diet culture into a haunting manifestation of grief and dysmorphia. The Pitch: The Ultimate Ghost Diet The narrative follows Hana (Grey’s Anatomy star Midori Francis). She is a lovelorn medical student drowning under the weight of cultural expectations and personal shame. Desperate to alter her appearance, she falls down an underground rabbit hole and participates in an obscure, deeply disturbing weight-loss craze: processing human ashes into diet pills. Naturally, the calorie deficit comes with a massive supernatural catch. As Hana’s unhealthy compulsion takes over, she finds herself terrorized by the vengeful ghost of the exact person she’s been consuming. The trailer hints at a claustrophobic, stomach-churning descent. Watch as Hana slowly loses control of her body to

If you’ve ever sat through a Hollywood awards show and thought, “Someone should really storm the stage with a crossbow,” director Romain Gavras (Athena) is about to fulfill your highly specific wish. Netflix has released a first-look image for Sacrifice, a genre-bending ride that pits an existential Chris Evans against a cult-leading Anya Taylor-Joy. While the streaming giant is keeping the official premiere date locked in a vault, the teaser imagery confirms that production is well underway. And looks like it’s going to be the most chaotic charity event of the year. Hostage Takeovers and Hollywood Egos The official logline sets up a pitch-black satirical thriller. A film star attempting a career comeback is abducted from an environmental gala alongside two other high-profile guests by a radical group convinced that a human sacrifice is the only way to save the planet. Talk about an aggressive carbon offset. However, a quick deep-dive into the film’s IMDb page reveals that Gavras might

After spending years trapped in development hell—mutating from a feature film concept into a canceled HBO series and back again—Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon, Her Private Hell) has officially cracked the case. The auteur has announced that his long-gestating Maniac Cop Reimagining is finally heading to production, with arthouse titan MUBI fully bankrolling the chaos. The Dossier: A Radical Resurrection For the uninitiated, William Lustig’s original 1988 cult classic followed a towering, seemingly undead officer (the legendary Robert Z’Dar) brutally murdering innocent civilians on the streets of New York. The original film famously starred B-movie royalty Bruce Campbell as a framed young cop and Tom Atkins as the cynical detective uncovering a massive blue wall of silence. Refn isn’t looking to give the property a standard Hollywood coat of paint. He’s aiming for something much more volatile. “In today’s political and social climate, the iconography of Maniac Cop alone provokes an immediate, uneasy reaction,” Refn stated. “I’ve been

If you like your supernatural thrills wrapped in deep-seated childhood trauma and strict religious guilt, Lightbulb Film Distribution has your plans sorted. The distributor has officially announced the upcoming release of Diabolic. Directed by Daniel J. Phillips (Awoken), this Australian-produced supernatural thriller aims straight for the subconscious, proving once again that going home is usually a terrible idea. The Gospel: Unholy Rituals and Childhood Trauma The plot follows a young woman. Plagued by terrifying and unexplainable blackouts, she decides to return to the strict, isolated religious compound where she grew up. Naturally, instead of finding closure, she uncovers dark secrets from her past—and accidentally unleashes a vengeful, ancient witch via a cursed ritual. The Congregation The film features a seasoned genre cast ready to face the holy (and unholy) terror. It stars Elizabeth Cullen (Evil Dead Wrath) as Elise, the troubled protagonist in search of answers. She’s joined by John Kim (The Little Things), Mia Challis (Clickbait), and Terence Crawford
