If you like your supernatural thrills wrapped in deep-seated childhood trauma and strict religious guilt, Lightbulb Film Distribution has your plans sorted. The distributor has officially announced the upcoming release of Diabolic. Directed by Daniel J. Phillips (Awoken), this Australian-produced supernatural thriller aims straight for the subconscious, proving once again that going home is usually a terrible idea. The Gospel: Unholy Rituals and Childhood Trauma The plot follows a young woman. Plagued by terrifying and unexplainable blackouts, she decides to return to the strict, isolated religious compound where she grew up. Naturally, instead of finding closure, she uncovers dark secrets from her past—and accidentally unleashes a vengeful, ancient witch via a cursed ritual. The Congregation The film features a seasoned genre cast ready to face the holy (and unholy) terror. It stars Elizabeth Cullen (Evil Dead Wrath) as Elise, the troubled protagonist in search of answers. She’s joined by John Kim (The Little Things), Mia Challis (Clickbait), and Terence Crawford

Just when you thought the horror genre had officially run out of gas for its power tools, rising director Curry Barker is stepping up to the chopping block. The filmmaker is teasing a fresh, character-driven vision for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise that promises to be grounded, brutal, and—most importantly—deeply uncomfortable. In other words, he wants to make Chainsaw feel like a genuine nightmare again, rather than just another obligatory IP cash-grab. Making Audiences Care Before the Carnage Speaking with Variety, Barker revealed that his primary mission is to make viewers actually give a damn about the fresh meat before the buzz starts. Instead of serving up the standard roster of unlikable horror tropes destined for the meat hook, Barker wants audiences genuinely invested in the characters trapped alongside Leatherface and the Sawyer clan. The logic? “If they do die brutally,” Barker noted, “we’ll actually be sad that they died.” Imagine that: emotional stakes in a slasher movie. Barker is

Director Yeon Sang-ho doesn’t do intermission. Ever since his 2011 animated debut, The King of Pigs, Yeon has dissected the darkest corners of human nature across multiple genres. His relentless work ethic is legendary; just last year, he turned The Ugly—a biting, low-budget commentary on lookism—into a surprise box-office smash, clearing the 1-million-ticket milestone. Now, without skipping a beat, the maestro behind Train to Busan (2016) and Peninsula (2020) is returning to his signature K-Horror apocalyptic roots. But if you think you’ve seen all his tricks, Colony is here to change the choreography—literally. This time around, Yeon trades traditional undead bumbling for intense, highly synchronized, dance-like movements. The Pitch: Fast, Furious, and Fatal Yeon pitches Colony as a straightforward, high-octane crowd-pleaser that doesn’t demand overthinking. The narrative wastes zero time setting the trap. The chaos kicks off when a biologist named Young-cheol (Koo Kyo-hwan) frantically calls the police to report a biological terror experiment inside a corporate building. Unluckily for

Pack your bags and completely ignore any real estate listings in Long Island, because indie horror’s most prolific duo is back. Genre veterans Shawn C. Phillips and Will Collazo Jr. are officially expanding their notoriously wild, low-budget cinematic universe with their latest delightfully unhinged entry, Amityville Shark House. Haunted House Meets Jaws We’ve seen the Amityville house haunt people with clocks, lamps, and even a clock radio, but this time, the infamous property is going full nautical. The plot kicks off when a guy named Richard is doing some casual home renovations and discovers an ominous shark idol hidden beneath the decaying floorboards of the Amityville house. Instead of putting it on eBay like a normal person, Richard accidentally awakens an ancient, savage force. Naturally, the entity begins to possess him, transforming a quiet coastal town into a blood-soaked nightmare. As Richard’s body count grows, a local cult begins to realize their dark god has been reborn. It’s a race

As one chapter of Amazon’s flagrant anti-superhero propaganda closes, another begins. Right on the heels of “The Boys“ series finale, Prime Video has dropped the first teaser trailer for its highly anticipated prequel series, “Vought Rising.” Because if there is one thing Vought International knows how to do, it’s franchise a brand until the wheels fall off. The teaser opens with a dangerously naive Ben (Jensen Ackles), long before he became the jaded, cigar-chomping Soldier Boy, declaring: “I want to fight for the flag. I want to be… a hero.” Oh, honey. If only you knew the corporate paperwork, trauma, and compound-V cocktails that were actually required.

The Duffer Brothers are officially trading the teenage angst of Hawkins, Indiana, for a New Mexico retirement village. But don’t expect this community to be all about shuffleboard and afternoon naps. In Netflix’s new sci-fi thriller “The Boroughs,” the golden years are about to get incredibly dark. Paradise with a Pulse (Barely) The series introduces us to Sam Cooper, a fresh arrival who views his new sun-drenched community less as a retirement haven and more as a minimum-security prison. Things go from mundane to terrifying when Sam becomes convinced that a bloodthirsty monster is stalking the cul-de-sacs after dark. Naturally, the local authorities chalk his fears up to a classic case of a confused older man yelling at clouds. But Sam isn’t backing down. Realizing he’s on his own, he rallies a band of neighborhood misfits to hunt the truth—and the creature.

Move over, traditional wedding season. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal is bringing a much more chaotic, punk-rock ceremony straight to your living room. Her highly anticipated, iconoclastic horror-romance The Bride! is officially set to make its streaming debut this week. A First Date Gone Horribly, Wonderfully Wrong Set against the gritty backdrop of 1930s Chicago, the film follows a deeply lonely “Frank” (Christian Bale). He decides to skip the dating apps and take a more hands-on approach to finding love. He enlists the help of the groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious to build a companion for him. The duo decides to reanimate a recently murdered young woman (Jessie Buckley), and The Bride is born. However, the scientists completely underestimate what happens when you give a dead woman a second chance at life. Instead of a docile, grateful homemaker, they unleash a force of nature. What follows is a wild cocktail of murder, a cultural movement, and a romance that redefines “till death do

If you missed Osgood Perkins’ latest slice of folk horror in theaters—which, judging by the box office numbers, almost all of you did—you’ll soon be able to stream it from the comfort of your own couch. Hulu has officially announced that Keeper, starring Marvel alum Tatiana Maslany, will land on the platform this June. The film’s journey to streaming has been a swift one following its underwhelming theatrical run. Neon originally dropped the film in theaters on November 14, 2025, where it limped to a dismal $6.2 million global haul against an estimated $6 million production budget. After failing to spark a fire at the box office, it quietly slipped onto digital storefronts on December 9, 2025, before hitting physical media (Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K) on January 20, 2026. Anniversaries, Cabins, and Inevitable Doom Written by Nick Lepard, Keeper follows a couple who decide to celebrate their anniversary with a weekend getaway at a secluded cabin.
