The new cyberpunk thriller Kill Code is heading your way. In a grim future, the human body is treated like cheap hardware, controlled by the rich and powerful. Fortunately, some people still prefer their free will. Set in a rainy, neon-drenched dystopian America ravaged by a Second Civil War, crime has become a deadly pandemic. Enter Alpire Industries CEO and scientist Eion Prescott (Harvey Keitel), who claims to have the ultimate cure. His solution is the ONYX Program, an aggressively dystopian initiative where AI-powered watches are strapped to known criminals. Instead of tracking steps, these watches inject criminals with nanobots carrying a deadly computer virus: the titular kill code. The virus forces these tech-jacked criminals to battle each other to the death, with the bruised survivors supposedly earning redemption and their lives back. Of course, the corporation won’t be satisfied until they’ve eliminated human free will. The only thing standing in their way is a cyber-enhanced Alpire operative, played by

If you think your neighborhood Homeowners Association is a nightmare because they sent you a passive-aggressive letter about your lawn height, count your blessings. It could always be significantly worse. Sunrise Films has officially announced that William Bagley’s critically adored horror-comedy, Hold the Fort, is locked, loaded, and coming home for its digital debut on June 23. After tearing through the global genre festival circuit with raucous stops at Fantasia, FrightFest London, Sitges, Beyond Fest, and Toronto After Dark, this practical-effects extravaganza is finally ready to ruin your property value completely. Suburban Bliss Meets Eternal Damnation The narrative takes the crushing, highly relatable anxiety of modern real estate and drops it directly into a blender with a heavy-metal apocalypse. Lucas (Chris Mayers, Ozark) and Jenny (Haley Leary) think they’ve finally made it. They signed the papers, handed over their life savings, and officially became first-time homeowners. However, their gorgeous new suburban house comes with a rather massive, unlisted disclosure. Every

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the summer vacation rental, The Asylum is here to remind you why you’re scared of clowns. Ahead of its official release next week, the masterminds of mockbuster cinema have unleashed the trailer for Summerween. The upcoming slasher asks a very simple question: Why restrict masked psychopaths to late October when they can ruin a perfectly good pool party in June? Circus Freaks and Squatter Rights Written and directed by Ryan Ebert, the film follows a deeply troubled former circus clown. When he decides he has had quite enough of his state-mandated therapy. After executing a clean escape from a local psychiatric facility, our face-painted antagonist decides to revisit his roots. He journeys back to his long-abandoned childhood home, presumably seeking peace, quiet, and a place to hang his oversized shoes. Unfortunately, his nostalgic homecoming is rudely interrupted. A group of clueless, trespassing teenagers has turned his dilapidated property into

If you thought your teenage dating life was an absolute nightmare, the new supernatural horror thriller Levitcus is here to make your awkward locker room memories feel like a peaceful walk in the park. After causing a massive stir at the Sundance Film Festival, this queer social horror film is officially setting theater screens ablaze. Forget the quiet, slow-burning dread of standard indie flicks. This is a visceral, mercilessly upsetting descent into backcountry religious fanaticism that refuses to pull its punches. Isolated Terror Set in an isolated, dreary Australian town where the primary local pastime seems to be repressive religious zealotry, the narrative follows two star-crossed teenagers, Naim and Ryan. When the god-fearing locals inevitably discover their budding, secret romance, a botched attempt at an exorcism-style conversion ritual goes horribly wrong. Instead of cleansing the boys, the ceremony accidentally unleashes a violent, stalking demonic entity. This psychological setup transforms everyday intimacy into a lethal threat. Ryan’s cRyan’sg warning to Naim—“If

If you thought John Carpenter was content with just letting his legendary filmography do the talking, the Master of Horror is here to prove that retirement is for mortals. Midsummer Scream, the world’s largest Halloween and horror convention, has announced that Carpenter is returning to the Long Beach Convention Center from August 7–9, 2026. He isn’t just coming to sign old Halloween posters, either. He’s unleashing CATHEDRAL—his very first original graphic novel alongside a companion album of the same name. It marks the first time in his five-decade career that he has tackled an original comic. It is his most ambitious cross-media project to date. The Blueprint: What Lies Beneath Downtown L.A. Co-authored with Sandy King, producer, editor, and CEO of Storm King Comics (Carpenter’s creative partner and wife), the graphic novel officially hits shelves on August 4. The story is a propulsive, claustrophobic nightmare centered on an abandoned cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. The holy ground conceals a centuries-old

When it comes to creature features, cinema has given us a million sharks, countless alligators, and plenty of oversized bears. But there is only one hippo horror movie, and it’s officially stomping its way into your viewing schedule. I’m talking about Hungry. Despite what the title might suggest, this is definitely not a whimsical, live-action adaptation of the classic Hasbro board game you played as a kid. There are no plastic marbles here—only tragedy, raw power, and a very high body count. The Itinerary: A Louisiana Tour Gone Horribly Wrong The story follows a group of thrill-seeking tourists who embark on a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which, in horror movie speak, translates directly to “no one is making it back to the hotel”—the group ends up completely off the map and very much on the menu. They soon find themselves systematically hunted by a creature Hollywood has criminally overlooked until now:

If you thought the only rule of the Further was “don’t go toward the red light,” Sony Pictures Entertainment just blew up the franchise handbook. The terrifying new trailer for Insidious: Out of the Further has officially dropped, and it confirms that the sixth installment moves past the Lambert family’s trauma to introduce a protagonist with a uniquely dangerous set of skills. Following 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door, which wrapped up the original family’s multi-decade haunting, this next chapter focuses on Gemma, a single mother played by Amelia Eve (The Haunting of Bly Manor). Gemma and her daughter (Island Austin) live a quiet life in Gemma’s childhood home—until a frightening encounter reveals that Gemma can naturally astrally project into the franchise’s infamous, spirit-filled realm. But here is the kicker: unlike Elise Rainier or the Lamberts, who fought tooth and nail to keep the doors shut, Gemma possesses a wild new ability. She can permanently drag spirits out of the Further

Some people are just overachievers. Take Mark O’Brien—not content with a stellar acting resume that includes dodging killer in-laws in Ready or Not, decoding aliens in Arrival, or navigating the gritty streets of “City on the Hill,” is cementing his status as a formidable force behind the camera. His latest film, Voices of Our Mother, is heading your way this June. O’Brien’s latest project as writer-director is the indie horror film The Voices of Our Mother. Now, it is officially headed to Shudder this month. I sat down with the triple-threat filmmaker to talk grief, family drama, and the kind of maternal baggage that requires an exorcist rather than a therapist. Family Reunions Are Hell The story centers on a woman who has barely finished burying her own mother before a sudden, violent health crisis throws her life into a tailspin. Naturally, her four estranged children come scurrying back to the family nest under the guise of “caring” for her.
