If you’re the type of person who gets nervous when the Wi-Fi drops, Uncork’d Entertainment has a new reason for you to fear the dark. Blackout is set to short-circuit your sense of reality when it hits Digital and On Demand platforms this May. The Lights Go Out, the Nightmare Begins Written and directed by Shane Aquino (Road Dogs), the film takes a simple premise and twists it into a sci-fi psychological thriller. After a sudden power outage, the world doesn’t just lose its lights—it loses its mind. The survivors wake up to a world of “eternal night.” One in which each individual is trapped in their own isolated reality. Just as everyone is getting used to the total lack of a sun, a group of mysterious figures called The Ushers appears. They claim they can lead the survivors to “the end.” But only if they’re willing to make a final, irreversible choice. Pro tip: In a horror movie, the

Prepare to have your childhood memories turned to pulp. Roadside Attractions and Saban Films have officially snagged the North American rights to Buddy, the Sundance standout that left audiences questioning their sanity. If the name Casper Kelly sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the deranged genius behind the viral fever dream Too Many Cooks and the “Cheddar Goblin” from Mandy. Now, he’s making his theatrical feature debut, and he’s brought along an A-list cast of future trauma victims. Sesame Street, But Make It Scary The film is set inside a children’s television show that doesn’t just go off the rails—it drives the train directly into a canyon of madness. Imagine the bright colors, catchy songs, and wholesome puppets, then add a relentless descent into psychological and physical horror. According to Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d’Arbeloff, the film succeeds by turning “comfort food into poison.” It’s a genre-bending ride that reportedly earned “must-see” status at both Sundance and SXSW.

Dan Stevens—the man who transitioned from the posh drawing rooms of Downton Abbey to being the internet’s favorite horror darling—is back. In the first trailer for The Terror: Devil in Silver, he starts out looking like the world’s greatest stepdad. Naturally, because this is The Terror, that doesn’t last. By the end of the clip, he’s being dragged into a psychiatric hospital that makes a haunted house look like a day spa. The third installment of AMC’s acclaimed horror anthology is officially ready to ruin your mental health, making its debut on AMC+ and Shudder. The Stay From Hell In this six-episode descent into madness, Stevens plays Pepper, a working-class mover who finds himself “checked in” to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. According to the official synopsis, New Hyde is essentially a dumping ground for the people society would rather pretend don’t exist. Pepper’s to-do list for the season includes dodging patients who want him dead, avoiding doctors with “grim secrets”

Forget the “video game movie” curse; The Mortuary Assistant is a bone-chilling triumph that stands entirely on its own two feet. Starring Willa Holland (Arrow) as Rebecca Owens, the film follows a newly certified mortician whose “overtime shift” quickly devolves into a grueling battle for her soul. What Makes It Work The film expertly balances the stomach-churning procedural work of embalming with a spiraling demonic nightmare. Alongside a mysterious mentor played by Paul Sparks (Boardwalk Empire), Rebecca is forced to confront both ancient evils and her own buried traumas. And boy, does she have a lot of them. Thanks to a full-scale, practical River Fields Mortuary set, the film drips with realism, like you c The skin effects are hauntingly accurate. The way the flesh moves during surgical scenes is so visceral. I’ve seen a lot of flesh wounds in horror films and in real life, and the bodies, skin, and organs. The Mortuary Assistant (especially in the opening scene)

After making everyone in 2023 collectively vow to never look at a cheese grater the same way again, Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin is back to ruin a different set of childhood memories. Having turned a $147 million profit on demonic family trauma, Cronin has been handed the keys to the tomb. His latest project, The Mummy, is officially haunting theaters now—and if you’re expecting a charming rogue in a linen shirt or a CGI Brendan Fraser, you’re looking in the wrong sarcophagus. Unwrapping the New Nightmare Revealed in late 2024 as a complete reimagining of the classic monster, Cronin’s take promises to be “unlike any Mummy movie you’ve ever laid eyeballs on.” Given his track record, those eyeballs will likely be lucky to stay in their sockets. “I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening,” Cronin teased. Translation: prepare for a lot of dirt, very little sleep, and zero slapstick. The Cast

After haunting theaters over the weekend alongside Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the footage is officially online and ready to ruin your sleep schedule. Even better? New Line and Warner Bros. have decided we’ve been well-behaved enough to get the film two weeks early. Originally slated for late July, the sixth installment will now open in theaters on July 10, 2026. The Teaser: Short, Sweet, and Gory The “teaser” tag isn’t a joke—it’s a sprint. The clip centers on a relentless, unbroken shot of a young woman trying to navigate a house that has clearly failed its most recent health inspection. Between the Deadite infestation and the literal rain of mangled corpses, it’s exactly the kind of “family reunion” that requires a chainsaw to survive. What’s the Story? If you thought your last Thanksgiving was awkward, the official synopsis for Evil Dead Burn has you beat: After the loss of her husband, a grieving widow seeks refuge at her in-laws’ secluded

In a world where everyone is worried about AI taking their jobs, Neon is more concerned about AI taking your soul. The indie powerhouse behind Longlegs and Parasite has tapped VFX wizard Sam Evenson to turn his viral short film, Mora, into a full-blown feature nightmare. If you’ve spent any time on the dark side of YouTube, you probably know Evenson from his channel Grimoire Horror, where he’s been traumatizing nearly 200,000 subscribers for years. Now, he’s moving from the small screen to the silver screen for his directorial debut. A “Model” Student of Terror The story follows a struggling, displaced artist who makes the classic mistake of mixing creativity with the Dark Web. After using an AI model trained on “corrupted” dark web imagery, the artist begins to be stalked by a mysterious, malevolent woman. It’s a timely reminder: maybe stick to MS Paint if you want to sleep at night. From Arrakis to Indie Horror Evenson isn’t just

Move over, method actors: there’s a new face in town, and it happens to be every face at once. DC Studios just dropped the trailer for “Clayface,” and from the looks of it, this isn’t your average superhero romp. Slated for an Oct. 23 release, director James Watkins is pivoting away from capes and toward pure, unadulterated body horror. A Skincare Routine Gone Wrong The film stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, a struggling actor whose career—and face—get slashed after a brutal knife attack. Desperate to regain his leading-man looks, Hagen undergoes a “highly experimental” medical procedure. Naturally, because this is a comic book movie and not a Pfizer commercial, things go south. Instead of looking like a young Brad Pitt, Hagen’s cellular structure turns into sentient mud. The trailer, which debuted at CinemaCon, leans heavily into the “ick” factor: Body Horror: We see Hagen in a hospital bed, his face a mess of bandages and blood. The Transformation:

Meanwhile, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson (played by Ben Barnes) has come looking to start a new life. However, peace won’t last for long. His story and Luke’s are destined to collide following a terrifying series of events.

One of my favorite horror comedies of all time is Eli Craig’s horror comedy Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. It has been since its release in 2010. Offering a mix of horror and a whole lot of humor, it’s one of those rare movies that couldn’t be more perfect. So, of course, when I got the opportunity to interview Craig about his new movie, Clown in a Cornfield, I jumped at the chance. First, let’s talk about Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. It follows two friends on vacation at their new mountain cabin, Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine). When a group of preppy college kids mistakes them for murderers, mayhem follows. Whether you want to relive its dark humor or watch it for the first time, you can find it streaming on Fandango, Hoopla, and Prime Video. Craig’s new movie, Clown in the Cornfield, sees Quinn and her father seeking a fresh start. They have moved to the
