If you’re nice, you get presents from the Big Guy. However, if you’re naughty, you get a hammer to the jaw. David Harbour is officially squeezing back into the blood-soaked suit for a second round of festive carnage in Violent Night 2, the high-octane sequel from action powerhouse 87North, the legendary production house behind Bullet Train, John Wick, The Fall Guy, and Nobody. Director Tommy Wirkola is back at the helm, proving once again that season’s greetings are best served with heavy artillery. Slay Bells Ring, Are You Listening?

Some high school reunions involve awkward small talk at an Applebee’s. Others involve breaking into a houseful of vengeful, mid-century specters itching to complete a ritualistic blood sacrifice. Prepare for the ultimate reunion party from hell. Directed by Rel Howery, the horror comedy Haunted Heist serves up a frantic, high-stakes collision of bad choices, home invasion, and demonic activity. A High-Stakes Heist Meets Spectral Terror The setup is classic: four old friends decide that standard nostalgia isn’t cutting it. However, their reunion night takes a sharp right turn into a high-stakes house robbery. Their target is an imposing, secluded mansion bursting with untraceable wealth. The snag? The mansion’s original 1950s owners never actually left. They’ve just been hanging out in the afterlife, waiting for the right moment to host a proper demonic ritual. The crew quickly realizes they aren’t just robbing a house. They’re the main course in an ethereal sacrificial pact. Now, trapped with a cabal of vintage ghosts,

For months, horror fans have been tracking Eli Roth’s latest dairy-themed nightmare, Ice Cream Man. The burning question: Is this a sweet summer treat, or is it as painful as brain freeze? Having just survived it, I’m happy to report that it’s exactly what you expect—for better and for worse. Here’s my mostly spoiler-free review. Set in a picture-perfect, sun-drenched summer resort town, the film taps into the ultimate childhood betrayal: What happens when the neighborhood ice cream man starts serving up soft-serve laced with pure, homicidal madness? Feral Kids and Paper Hats Forget about cavities. The local youth eat this tainted dairy and immediately descend into a state of feral, violent insanity. Playing our twisted dessert vendor is Ari Millen (Orphan Black), who gives off some genuinely spectacular “stranger danger” vibes and anchors the movie with a deeply creepy performance. Millen is backed by a solid ensemble, including Dylan Hawco, and a trio of actors Roth brought over from

When Warner Bros. handed director John Boorman the keys to The Exorcist franchise following his triumphs with Point Blank and Deliverance, they expected another box-office miracle. Instead, they got 1977’s Exorcist II: The Heretic—one of the most notoriously catastrophic, utterly bizarre sequels in cinematic history. A critical and commercial trainwreck, The Heretic nearly ruined Boorman’s career and fundamentally altered how Hollywood greenlit big-budget risks. Yet, nearly five decades later, a new documentary, Boorman and the Devil, is stepping up to defend the magnificent madness of taking giant creative swings. Directed and edited by David Kittredge (The Sweet Life) and produced by indie horror heavyweight Travis Stevens (Jakob’s Wife), Jim Fall, and Kittredge, the acclaimed feature documentary explores the ambition, craft, and polarizing legacy of Boorman’s wild sequel. Distributor Yellow Veil Pictures is bringing the documentary to theaters starting August 28 at The Quad Cinema in New York City, before expanding wider on September 4 to major cities including Los Angeles,
