If you’ve been craving a cinematic cocktail of high-octane gore and psychological trauma, Sam Raimi’s latest survival-horror outing, Send Help, has officially landed on streaming. And honestly? It’s a beautifully deranged homecoming for the Master of the Macabre. Here is why you should clear your schedule (and empty your stomach) for this one: The Raimi Fingerprints (Literally) From the jump, Send Help is less of a movie and more of a love letter to Raimi’s own twisted legacy. If you’re a fan, playing “spot the reference” is half the fun. We’re talking: Hands erupting from the earth in a frantic Evil Dead salute. There’s Raimi’s signature obsession with eye injuries that will make you want to watch through your fingers. And there’s an amount of projectile vomiting that makes Drag Me to Hell look like a dry heave. A Match Made in Purgatory The casting is, frankly, inspired. Rachel McAdams was seemingly born to play Linda. She starts as a

MGM’s “FROM” continues to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as the town descends into darkness, and things that go bump in the night are getting more terrifying. As everyone fights to survive, one character, Julie, steps up to help and find a way to save those they love. Played by Hannah Cheramy, Julie has grown from a sassy teen to a badass willing to put her body and mind on the line. I sat down with Cheramy to discuss Julie’s life in the town and her evolution. And also, her Julie playlist that gets her into Julie’s mindset. Before Cheramy joined “FROM,” an absolutely fantastic, nightmare-inducing series, she had already worked in the horror genre. She starred in films like The Hollow Child and Colossal, and in the TV series “Van Helsing.” With “FROM” already mid-season, you might be wondering what new horrors the characters will encounter. We’re not telling, but I will say this: with it

Terrifier’s Art the Clown has officially run out of pumpkins and candy canes, so he’s moving on to the next logical step in his holiday-themed genocide: New Year’s Eve. While updates on Terrifier 4 have been trickling out slower than Art’s victims trying to crawl to safety, writer/director Damien Leone finally dropped a meaningful bombshell regarding Art’s next (and potentially final) bloodbath. New Year, New Body Count Taking to Instagram, Leone shared a simple text-based image that confirmed the setting: “Terrifier 4 will take place around New Year’s Eve.” Leone’s caption was even more direct: “No space. No Easter bunny. Art’s bringing in the New Year!” While “around” implies the film might span a few days of holiday festivities, the core hook is clear. We’re trading the Silent Night for a very Loud Midnight. The potential for creative kills involving champagne bottles, countdown clocks, and those obnoxious “202X” glasses is, frankly, limitless. Keeping It “Grounded” (Relatively) Leone has been adamant

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

If you thought termites were the scariest thing that could happen to a wooden puppet, think again. Viva Pictures has officially snagged the North American rights to the viral sensation Pinocchio Unstrung, and they’re bringing the carnage to the big screen this summer. The Dream Team of Nightmares The latest entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe (yes, the same folks who brought you Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey) is pulling out the big guns—or rather, the big saws. The cast list includes horror icons such as Robert Englund, who lends his voice to the “sinister Cricket.” Forget Jiminy; this bug is definitely not your conscience. Fresh from being creepy in The Strangers and Mayor of Kingstown, Richard Brake plays Geppetto. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Chambers of Jagged Edge Productions are back to ensure your childhood memories stay firmly in the wood chipper. Prep School, Puppets, and Parts? Forget the quaint village in Italy. This reimagining takes place inside an

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

This found-footage installment aims to revitalize the iconic series. It swaps flashy stunts for a grounded, atmospheric dread. Ronnie joins a cast featuring horror veteran Andrew Pierson.
