I’ve followed the Insidious franchise since it first premiered back in 2010. I love supernatural horror. This weekend I popped a bag of popcorn and settled in to watch Insidious: The Red Door, and I have a few thoughts. Warning, mild spoilers. Set nine years after the original film, the sequel sees Dalton, played by Ty Simpkins, who reprises his role from the first film, is heading off to college, driven to school by his father, Josh (Patrick Wilson), in what is an incredibly awkward ride. Dalton and his father have a strained relationship, with Josh not being around much as the kid has grown up after Josh and his wife divorced, and Josh’s head has been in a fog, thanks to the fact that both father and son were hypnotized to forget the events in the first film. The action kicks off after Dalton’s art professor makes the class count down from ten. Suddenly, Dalton and Josh begin to

Convenience Story (2022) is a surreal odyssey with film noir elements. If that sounds like a reference to David Lynch’s work or to the many Lynchian knock-offs, sure, there are shared concepts here, but writer/director Satoshi Miki’s Japanese feature leans more to the whimsical and weird than the dark. The 24/7 convenience store (konbini) is a major part of Japanese culture, and Miki places his deadpan, struggling screenwriter protagonist Kato (Ryo Narita) in a decidedly bizarre remote one after he abandons his actress girlfriend Zigzag’s (Yuki Katayama) dog nearby. With the rented truck that he drove there suddenly not running, he takes up the somewhat eager offer of married-couple convenience store owners Keiko (Atsuko Maeda) and Nagumo (Seiji Rokkaku) to stay the night. While Nagumo spends time in the forest air-conducting classical music, Keiko and Kato find themselves in an offbeat relationship reminiscent of The Postman Always Rings Twice. Giving away any more of the plot would be a disservice

The Final Destination franchise never fails to deliver some of the most interesting kills in the horror genre. A few months ago, we were happy to report that after more than ten years, a new installment is on the way. While recently speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick gave fans a little tease of what we can expect, including that Final Destination 6 will add a whole new layer to the franchise we love. “This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teases. He continues saying, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the

The announcement came about another sequel before Scream VI even made its way onto Blu-ray and DVD. Now, news has come that Radio Silence will not be returning to direct the seventh installment of the franchise. According to THR, Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon will be stepping in to helm the upcoming sequel. Radio Silence’s Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinell-Oplin (Scream, Scream VI) will be returning to executive produce along with Chad Villella. They aren’t the only ones returning for the movie. Actress Jenna Ortego will be back too, according to THR. The current writers’ and actors’ strike will likely delay filming for a bit, but with news already being announced, it’s a good sign that it won’t be long (hopefully). We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, you can now watch Scream VI on Prime Video or get your copy on Blu-ray or DVD, or head to Paramount+, where you can watch the entire franchise. Here’s a look

There are a ton of great movies heading your way this August, but what are the biggest, must-see movies? We’re glad you asked. We just happen to have a list.

Ghosts are classic horror movie characters; we come to expect them in haunted mansions and the like, but what about when they appear in places that we might not expect? There are some directors that introduce ghosts in strange places, totally different from the horror tropes that we are used to. If you like your horror films to be a little out of the ordinary, then you’ll love these movies with ghosts in unexpected places. Dead Man’s Hand (2007) Dead Man’s Hand, also sometimes known as The Haunted Casino, tells the tale of a man called Matthew who inherits a run-down casino on the outskirts of Vegas. He brings a group of friends together, and they set off to renovate the place and play a few games along the way. What ensues is nothing like when the group play roulette online, or indeed any game online or in person. Instead, they’re greeted with a seriously creepy casino teeming with ghosts

One of the wildest movies released this year is Cocaine Bear (review). If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, we have great news; it’s finally coming to Prime Video after premiering on Peacock and AppleTV this past April. Directed by Elizabeth Banks (“The Boys”), the movie finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood. The craziest part? The movie was inspired by a true story. Keri Russell, Ray Liotta, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson star in this fun flick written by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen). The movie was such a hit that it has gone on to inspire a myriad of drug-fueled creature features such as Cocaine Cougar, Cocaine Shark, and Meth Gator. Cocaine Bear sinks its teeth into Prime Video on
