That may be why I’m so excited about A24‘s new horror comedy Y2K, set to premiere this December. The first trailer is here, teasing panic and gruesome deaths as a group of kids at a party are attacked by machines in brutal and bloody ways as Y2K struck the world.

Here, we meet Lilith (Cate Blanchett), a legendary bounty hunter with a shrouded past. Lilith is tasked with finding the missing daughter of the powerful villain, Atlas (Edgar Ramírez).

From director E.L. Katz (The Haunting of Bly Manor) comes the gripping new horror film Azreal, starring Ready or Not’s Samara Weaving and Natathan Stweart-Jarrett. The movie sees Weaving unite with writer Simon Barrett (The Guest, You’re Next). The new trailer reveals a pulse-pounding film set after the rapture. It is a chilling tale of survival and sacrifice in a world where no one speaks. A mysterious, devout community hunts down a young woman named Azrael (Samara Weaving), who has escaped their imprisonment. Azrael, recaptured by its ruthless leaders, is to be sacrificed to appease an evil that resides deep within the wilderness – but Azrael will stop at nothing to ensure her freedom and survival.

When it comes to a true filmmaking family, there’s no family like the Adams family. The parent-child team features father John Adams, mother Toby Poser, and daughters Zelda and Lulu Adams, who are a force to be reckoned with regarding indie horror. The filmmakers have a long history of creating unnerving, fright-filled films like The Devil Roams (2023) and Hellbender (2021). Now, they have a new horror movie, Hell Hole. I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Toby and John about their wild new movie Hell Hole, which is part body horror and part creature feature. It’s a must-see while it departs from their iconic dark, gritty horror films. It’s a bloody, wild film filled with dark humor and practical effects. Hell Hole sees a fracking crew working deep in the Serbian wilderness at odds with government-assigned environmental advisors. When they begin to drill, the workers uncover the unimaginable: a dormant parasitic monster entombed deep in the rock. Now
