In 2009, the internet and entertainment changed with the arrival of a photoshopped image on the website Something Awful that spawned many indie games, merchandise, a movie, and even controversy. I’m talking about the Slender Man, and in 2013, his story reached more people in the form of an indie PC game called Slender: The Arrival. Today, Blue Isle Studios announced the long-awaited 10-year upgrade to Slender: The Arrival! For the first time, Slender: The Arrival will be on consoles besides PC. Fans of the original will see immediately that the graphics are way better, thanks to the game’s world being updated with the Unreal Engine 5! In addition to the new graphics comes a brand new chapter! A new story where Charlie Matheson’s father experiences his worst nightmare. This free addition to the game offers a sneak preview of what’s next! Slender: The Arrival will be coming out on October 18th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love anything involving sharks, and I love a good action flick from time to time. I was super excited when The Meg came out in 2018. So, of course, I was going to watch The Meg 2: The Trench. Well, I have, and now I have some thoughts. Warning spoilers ahead. The Meg 2 picks up years after the original events and sees a research team encounter multiple threats while exploring the ocean’s depths, including a malevolent mining operation, multiple megs, “the Kracken,” dinosaurs, and a bunch of bad guys. A few of the original cast members return to reprise their roles, including Jason Statham, Cliff Curtis, Page Kenedy, and young actress Shuya Sophia Cai. Unfortunately, their director let them down. I’m not even going to attack how the giant beasts were portrayed. Let’s go ahead and chalk them up to suspension of disbelief. There are many moments when things make absolutely zero

The big-budget horror The Last Voyage of the Demeter has set a course and is sailing into a living room near you. Directed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), the movie is based on a single chilling chapter, “The Captain’s Log,” from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, and tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London. The Last Voyage also stars Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, and Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway. Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones, Clash of the Titans) as the ship’s captain, and David Dastmalchian (Dune, the Ant-Man franchise) as the ship’s first mate. Javier Botet stars as Dracula. In our spoiler-free review, we called it “nightmare-inducing and brutal.” Unfortunately, the movie didn’t get the love it deserved in theaters because it had

Actress Elizabeth Hurley stars in the upcoming horror film Piper, which premiered earlier this week at FrightFest, is a new modern take on the classic Pied Piper story. In the film, Liz (Hurley) and her daughter (Mia Jenkins) move to a new town and find themselves haunted by Liz’s past. The film takes a dark turn when the Piper begins to punish those who have escaped the reach of the law by going after their children. A mysterious man (Jack Stewert) appears who could hold the key to the Piper’s salvation. Everyone must pay the Pied Piper. Featuring themes of death, disease, and a parent’s guilt, the trailer for the film teases an intense supernatural horror that will be an absolute nightmare for those with musophobia (fear of rodents). Elizabeth Hurley is best known for her roles in films such as the Austin Powers franchise and series like “Runaways,” “The Royals,” and “Gossip Girl.” Directed by Anthony Waller, who also

French filmmaker Mathieu Turi (Hostile, Meander) is back with a new tale of terror, The Deep Dark (aka Gueules Noires, aka Dark Faces), which premieres this Winter. The new trailer teases a claustrophobic environment and a killer creature. Set in 1956 France, the film sees “A band of underground miners is forced to lead a professor to take samples a thousand meters underground. After a landslide prevents them from going back up, they discover a crypt from another time and unknowingly wake up something that should have remained asleep.” Samuel Le Bihan, Amir El Kacem, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Thomas Solivérès, Marc Riso, Diego Martin, Bruno Sanches, and Philippe Torreton star in this horror film. “Dark Faces (Gueules Noires) will be a mix of horror and adventure, in the best tradition of H.P. Lovecraft stories, but set in a French reality and a strong social context,” Turi stated recently. “After Meander, I’m lucky enough to work again with Fulltime Studios on this
