The Master of Horror is back, and this time, he’s trading the director’s chair for a comic book script and a heavy metal guitar riff. John Carpenter has officially announced Cathedral, a massive multimedia project featuring a brand-new studio album releasing this August on Sacred Bones Records, perfectly paired with his first-ever graphic novel dropping August 4 via Storm King Comics. To kick things off, Carpenter and his longtime musical partners-in-crime have unleashed the project’s roaring first single, “Lord Of The Underground,” available to stream right now alongside a gorgeously grim animated visualizer. A Movie For Your Eyes and Ears If you’ve been dying for a new John Carpenter flick (his last traditional feature film was back in 2010), Cathedral is the closest thing you’re going to get. Inspired by a vivid nightmare Carpenter had in 2024, the album isn’t just a collection of cool synth tracks—it is a literal, track-by-track soundtrack to the graphic novel. Each song corresponds to

Move over, Jaws: The Revenge. Step aside, Sharknado. There is a new king of cinematic trash, and it is swimming straight out of the bargain bin of 2022. Somehow, a cinematic masterpiece swam under our radar a few years ago, but we are here to correct that grave injustice. Introduce yourself to Sharkula. Yes. Sharkula. The Premise (If You Can Call It That) Written and directed by B-movie legend Mark Polonia, this zero-budget masterpiece answers the age-old question: “What happens when Count Dracula decides to turn a great white shark into a vampire?” The plot—and we use that word incredibly loosely—goes like this: Count Dracula’s curse infects a shark, which then starts terrorizing a local tourist town. But wait, it gets better. There is a whole coven of caped, pale vampires hiding out on the docks, actively helping the shark survive. It’s a deadly trail of CGI carnage, terrible green screens, and rubber fins. The Cast The filmmakers didn’t even

If cinema has taught us anything, it’s that a group of friends heading into the woods to “mend their fractured bonds” never ends well. Director Anton Sigurdsson (Full Pockets) is driving that point home with his upcoming thriller, Refuge. Slated for an upcoming digital premiere, the film takes a scenic weekend getaway and aggressively turns it into a high-stakes psychological pressure cooker. Unpacking Heavy Baggage in the Wilderness The film follows four old friends who pack up their tackle boxes and head out to a remote fishing spot. All in the hopes of getting a little fresh air and fixing years of distance. Unfortunately, the tranquility is cut short when one of the men—a desperate, grieving father—drops a devastating bombshell. He doesn’t just think his daughter’s disappearance was a tragedy. He’s convinced one of the men sitting across the campfire is directly responsible. In the middle of nowhere, with no cell service and old secrets bubbling to the surface, a

Forget standard apology videos and brand sponsorships. Jaime King and Natasha Lyonne are teaming up to show us the absolute worst-case scenario of influencer culture in Darlene. This upcoming dark-comedy thriller puts a bloody, Southern Gothic spin on the quest for internet fame. The film is set to roll cameras this late summer in Louisiana under the direction of horror royalty Mary Lambert. Variety reports. Fake Content, Real Body Count King stars as the titular Darlene, a trailer-park influencer who secures her digital empire on a massive lie: an entirely fabricated pregnancy. When her digital house of cards inevitably begins to collapse, Darlene doesn’t log off. Instead, her desperate bid to maintain viral relevance spirals into a chaotic cocktail of murder, kidnapping, and a high-speed, blood-soaked road trip across the American South. Along the way, her delusions drag in a devastated father searching for answers, turning a desperate scam into a full-blown cultural circus. Lyonne co-stars as Annie, presumably dealing

If your ideal cinematic diet consists of leather trench coats, neon-drenched dystopian streets, and monsters, your next obsession has arrived. The official trailer for Subjugation has now landed. And it promises a blood-soaked fusion of gothic vengeance and grotesque, biomechanical body horror. Late-Capitalism Meets Literal Monsters On the surface, Tokyo is a gleaming, high-tech paradise. However, behind the curtain, society is puppet-mastered by an elite club of wealthy, powerful men. And they all possess the ultimate toxic trait: the ability to transform into hideous monsters at will. Using an insidious signal to brainwash the masses, these elites have turned the city streets into their personal hunting ground. As women vanish, Tokyo’s neon corridors begin to reek of death. This sets the stage for a desperate, ultra-violent descent into madness. Tracking this dystopian collapse is an exceptional ensemble cast featuring Karen Yoshida, Tsukasa, Atsuto Fujita, Ai Tatsuzawa, Takuto Nakamura, and Motomasa Okui. A Practical Effects Dream Team In an era flooded

It has been exactly 26 years since a suspiciously familiar, tongue-wagging masked killer tried and failed to murder Cindy Campbell and her aggressively dysfunctional friends. But Hollywood refuses to let any intellectual property rest in peace. So, the masters of the spoof genre are officially returning to show the new generation how a cash grab is done. Paramount Pictures and Miramax just dropped a brand-new behind-the-scenes featurette. It gives fans a peek into the chaos of the ultimate comedy dynasty. Marlon Wayans, Kim Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, and Craig Wayans all sit down to discuss what it’s like to combine forces for the new Scary Movie, produced by Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans (p.g.a.), Shawn Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez (p.g.a.). Jonathan Glickman, Thom Zadra, Alexandra Loewy, Marc Weinstock, Marsha L. Swinton, and horror maestro Neal H. Moritz executive produce.

After spending a decade wandering the prestige television wilderness—and briefly confusing everyone by directing a BBC children’s show—radical avant-garde auteur Nicolas Winding Refn is finally returning to the big screen with Her Private Hell. The film marks Refn’s first traditional-genre feature since 2016’s hyper-stylized fashion nightmare, The Neon Demon. The Setup: Top Secret in Tokyo Her Private Hell is a thriller set against the neon-drenched backdrop of Tokyo. Given Refn’s track record (Drive, Only God Forgives), expect plenty of synth music, gorgeous cinematography, neon-drenched scenes, and extreme violence. The first teaser has arrived, and it’s stunning. Watch it below. In the film, a mysterious mist descends on a metropolis. A deadly, elusive entity is unleashed upon the city as a young woman searches for her father. On her mission, her path collides with that of a soldier who is searching for his daughter. An Arthouse Dream Team Cast Refn has assembled a spectacularly trendy ensemble of Hollywood rising stars and

Leave it to director Na Hong-jin to bring a multi-million dollar sci-fi epic to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. And make an elite, haute-couture audience violently laugh about diarrhea. On Sunday night, the Grand Palais was jolted awake by the world premiere of Hope. It is an incredibly ambitious blockbuster focused on an alien invasion in a quiet South Korean town. The result? A raucous 6-minute standing ovation and a theater full of black-tie elites completely losing their minds. The Vibe: Pure, Bloody Chaos Going into the screening, nobody quite knew what to expect from Hope. What they got was a masterclass in tonal whiplash. The film reportedly kicks off with what feels like a continuous sequence of escalating, bloody action. Think gritty survival story meets high-concept sci-fi mythology. It is populated by potty-mouthed local police officers and bewildered rural locals trying to square off against a mysterious, terrifying creature. The Scene Everyone Is Talking About While the action is

If you thought the giant, vengeful shark from 2023’s hit The Black Demon was satisfied after terrorizing an oil rig, think again. The beast is back. And this time, it has upgraded to a floating maximum-security prison in The Black Demon 2: Atlantis. Highland Film Group has announced a massive wave of international distribution deals for the upcoming survival action-thriller. With production currently underway in Colombia, the world is clearly hungry for more shark chaos. ‘Prison Break’ Meets ‘Jaws’ The sequel trades the open ocean for Atlantis, a remote, offshore maximum-security fortress in the Pacific. Undercover DEA agent Jerry Simms (Jack Kesy) arrives at the prison to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his partner. What he finds is a complete nightmare soup. The facility is run by the iron-fisted warden (Vanesa Restrepo). However, things worsen as the cell blocks are terrorized by Diego Núñez (Harold Torres). Diego is a cult-like killer. To top it off, he’s rumored to possess ancient,
