If you thought Evil Dead alum Lou Taylor Pucci learned his lesson about opening sketchy, ancient books back in 2013, Dark Castle Entertainment is here to prove that some people never learn. Pucci is officially back in the literary danger zone in the first trailer for Lockbox, the latest supernatural thriller from The Last Exorcism director Daniel Stamm. From Your Headphones to the Big Screen The film serves as a highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of a fan-favorite episode from the hit anthology podcast Knifepoint Horror. Created by Soren Narnia, the story was adapted for film by Emmy-winning playwright Justin Yoffe. For those unfamiliar with the source material, Knifepoint Horror has racked up over 10 million downloads since 2010. And it operates under the SpectreVision Radio banner—the audio network founded by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Josh C. Waller. The cinematic adaptation has assembled an absolute Mount Rushmore of modern scream queens to anchor the dread. Carla Gugino, the undisputed MVP

If you have a mild case of thalassophobia,20th Century Studios is ready to unlock a whole new tier of ocean-based anxiety. The studio has officially unleashed the first teaser trailer for Whalefall. It’s a survival drama about a man who gets inadvertently eaten alive. Directed by Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You), the pulse-pounding thriller is officially locked in to swim into theaters just in time for the spooky season on October 16, 2026. The Ultimate Race Against Time In a brilliant marketing move, the two-minute trailer avoids the standard blockbuster habit of spoiling the entire plot. Instead, the footage focuses almost entirely on a single continuous, real-time nightmare sequence. In the movie, a deep-sea diver is caught in a battle between a massive sperm whale and a giant squid. However, it gets worse when he is vacuumed into the whale’s belly. Based on the celebrated bestselling novel by Daniel Kraus. It sees Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams, Weapons) go

Donkey Crew, in partnership with Snail Games USA, today launched the console port of their medieval survival RPG, Bellwright. I’m grateful for the reviewing opportunity, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. This is surprising as the game seemed to be well-liked on STEAM, and if there’s a group of gamers who like to complain more about the slightest thing, it’s PC gamers. In Bellwright, players can make their own character and set out to start their own village/community in their realm, that’s now become quite hostile. That’s pretty much what I can figure out, as one of the first issues I have with this game comes up. You’re just dropped into the game, no introduction, no exposition, just start the game and figure out the controls right off the bat, as there’s no tutorial (even though I selected in the options to have it). Once I figured out how to play, I started my mission…and got stuck, as in soft locked.

If you thought the team behind The Caged (also known as The Coven) was resting on its laurels after riding the blood-soaked wave of Terrifier 2 and 3, think again. The genre powerhouse is rolling into the Cannes Market with a dual threat. Not only are they shopping the highly anticipated, internet-meme-inspired thriller Man or Bear,they’ve also quietly locked down the global release of a folk-horror nightmare based on one of the most aggressively haunted houses in British history. The Caged, directed by the award-winning Jeffrey Scott Collins, has already conjured up major territory deals ahead of its market debut, and the real-world history behind it is enough to make any physical media collector lock their doors. The Real-World Cellblock from Hell The film draws its terrifying supernatural folklore directly from a very real, very grim piece of UK real estate. It’s known as “The Cage.” Located in St. Osyth, Essex, the medieval structure served as a notorious 16th-century prison.

Let’s face it: modern action movies can be a dime a dozen. Too often, we get stuck with the same recycled plots, shaky camerawork, and scripts that rely on explosions to hide terrible acting. But every once in a while, a cinematic lightning bolt strikes. An action thriller arrives that not only delivers a truckload of bone-snapping ass-kicking, but also a story with a massive, beating heart. That is exactly what we are getting with director Kenji Tanigaki’s ultra-violent masterpiece, The Furious, punching its way into theaters on June 12, 2026. Two Broken Men, One Relentless Mission The film follows two desperate men on a collision course with a brutal criminal empire. First, there’s Wang Wei (played by the phenomenal Xie Miao), an ordinary tradesman desperately searching for his young daughter after human traffickers take her. When the corrupt local police give him the cold shoulder, he takes matters into his own hands. Along the way, he allies with Navin

Let’s be entirely honest. Going into a movie titled Psycho Killer, it is easy to keep your expectations low. The genre is absolutely drowning in low-effort slasher clones recycling the same tired tropes we’ve been watching since the 1980s. But every once in a while, a movie comes along, ignores the standard playbook, and delivers a beautifully mean, incredibly fresh take on the formula. Psycho Killer is exactly that—a bloody, high-body-count masterclass that gives us a compelling hero, a genuinely interesting narrative, and a mountain of dread. A High-Body-Count Heartbreaker Without veering into spoiler territory—because you genuinely need to experience the final act of this film for yourself—let’s make one thing clear: if you are looking for a neat, comfortable, happy ending, change the channel right now. The script trades in a very specific kind of blood-drenched heartache. Instead of treating its victims like simple fodder for the next kill sequence, the film injects a real sense of emotional weight

The horror community is rallying behind yet another of its most beloved titans. Actor and stuntman Tyler Mane took to social media this weekend to share that he has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Mane—a towering, beloved mainstay of the horror genre cinema—is choosing to use his platform to shatter a massive medical taboo: reminding the world that men get breast cancer, too. “My First Reaction Was to Keep It Secret” Known globally for his physically imposing, terrifyingly intense roles—most notably as the brutal, unstoppable Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween franchise and the feral mutant Sabertooth in X-Men—Mane is facing this real-world battle with the exact same grit he brings to the screen. In a deeply personal, candid social media post, Mane admitted that his initial instinct was to hide the condition due to the societal stigma surrounding male breast cancer: “I’ll be honest, my first reaction was to keep it secret. I mean, it’s kind of embarrassing. But

Lock up your Scooby Snacks and prepare your emotional baggage, because the Mystery Gang is officially entering their angst era. Netflix has just dropped the first teaser for “Scooby-Doo: Origins,” a live-action prequel series that aims to do to Hanna-Barbera what Riverdale did to Archie Comics. Berlanti Productions promises to be the darkest, most secret-filled interpretation of Mystery Inc. to date. The Plot: Camp Counselors and Supernatural Homicide According to Netflix’s Tudum, the series completely rewrites the classic “Let’s split up, gang” dynamic. The story opens with lifelong friends Daphne and Shaggy trying to survive their final year of summer camp. Their counselor duties are abruptly cut short when they stumble into a terrifying mystery involving a stray puppy. Which may or may not have been the sole eyewitness to a supernatural murder. To solve the crime, they are forced to team up with Velma, reimagined here as a cynical “scientific townie,” and Fred, described as “the strange but ever-so-handsome

Forget the grainy, low-res clickbait flooding your social feeds. After decades of official government denial, tight-lipped congressional hearings, and high-profile whistleblowers, The truth behind UAPs (or UFOs, for the traditionalists) might actually be on the horizon. The investigative crew at Small Town Monsters is back on the beat. This time to see if we are finally living in the true “Disclosure Era.” Filmed over the course of 2026 amidst a massive new wave of government declassification, their brand-new documentary series, On the Trail of UFOs: The Disclosure Era, is officially set to lift off on June 21, 2026. Ground Zero of the Phenomenon The series serves as a direct, highly contemporary continuation of the journey that originally launched with 2019’s hit On the Trail of UFOs. But instead of chasing sensationalized headlines or Hollywood-style alien invasions, this project aims to strike at the historical truth of an anomalous phenomenon that stretches back more than a century.
