MARGINALIA (U.S., 2025) Official synopsis: Summoned to Karnstein Abbey to serve as a mourner at the funeral of their recently deceased abbess, Sister Trista discovers a dark secret involving demons, witchcraft and killer rabbits. But Sister Trista has a secret of her own. Nunsploitation, a Hammer Films’ horror vibe, and the retro charm and surreal qualities of filmmaker Guy Maddin’s work: Writer/director/editor/cinematographer Mark Beal’s beautifully bizarre Marginalia has all this and more. This black-and-white supernatural feature will win cinephiles over with its atmosphere to spare, which includes impressive practical effects work, cool stop-motion creatures, and wonderful medieval set design, costumes, and illustrations. Composer Alexander Hellonious’s evocative score fits the proceedings perfectly. Beal kicks things off right away with one of the most imaginative demises you’re likely to see this year. The cast members do a fine job with their committed performances, led by Jessica Bell as Sister Trista. Beal does assured work at the helm, and as he did with

If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that celebrating your birthday deep in the wilderness is basically an open invitation to be hunted. Lionsgate’s upcoming psychological thriller, Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead, is here to prove that rule once again when it arrives On Demand and Digital on July 28. Directed by Mike Stahl, the film promises plenty of tension, psychological mind games, and a stark reminder never to trust the local park staff. Surviving the Ultimate Bad Trip The plot follows Amber, whose birthday getaway with friends goes sideways faster than you can say “scenic overlook.” Enter a demented park ranger with a deeply tortured past and a sudden urge to turn their weekend into a masterclass in terror. Fortunately for Amber, she’s not your average running-and-tripping horror protagonist. She’s a stellar athlete and a brilliant social profiler—meaning she’s got the brains to match her cardio. Forced to use every tool in her survival arsenal, Amber must

High Reps, High Body Count Written and directed by Ama Lea (Deathcember), this gloriously retro feature follows a masked psycho known only as Meathead.

Horror Dadz Productions has officially unleashed the first teaser trailer for A Man in the Woods with an Axe, the latest genre-bending project from indie horror writer-director Dillon Brown. But before you start placing bets on the final girl or predicting the order of the teenage body count, the filmmakers have a blunt warning: this movie is a massive trap. The Bait-and-Switch: More ‘Truman Show’ Than ‘Friday the 13th’ While the title practically screams “camp counselor massacre,” Brown is using your love of 1980s backwoods slashers against you. What starts as a comforting, clichéd horror setup quickly morphs into a surreal nightmare. “We wanted the title to create certain expectations,” Brown teased. “The fun comes from pulling the rug out from under the audience. This isn’t simply a movie about a man in the woods with an axe. The deeper viewers go, the more they’ll realize something very unusual is happening beneath the surface.” Practical Effects > CGI In a

He’s back, he’s still wearing the eyepatch, and no—he’s not dead. Mad Cave Studios is bringing John Carpenter’s ultimate antihero back to the printed page this fall with Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago. Launching this September, the new continuation series officially expands the dystopian, synth-scored world of the 1981 cult-classic film. Steering the escape pod for this adventure is writer Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, No One), with artist Val Rodrigues (The Pale Knight). Together, they’re throwing Snake Plissken right back into the kind of high-stakes, maximum-violence chaos that defined ’80s sci-fi. Sweet Home, Dystopian Chicago You know the rules: once you go in, you don’t come out. Unless, of course, your name is Snake Plissken. This time around, Snake is scraping by as a “coyote.” He’s smuggling desperate people and highly illegal contraband across the heavily armed dead zones between fractured prison territories. It’s a miserable, brutal gig. But when a high-paying client hires him to extract a

If you thought Pennywise gave balloons a bad rap, wait until you meet Ringmaster Vincent Vile. Dead End Films has unleashed its micro-budget horror-comedy The Yellow Balloon: The Curse of Vincent Vile, and early reviews from the indie genre circuit are already rolling in. The consensus? It’s gooey, unhinged, and proudly flying the flag for old-school midnight movies. Written by Robert Carrera and directed by Jason D. Morris, the twisted feature takes a standard “cabin in the woods” weekend and violently derails it into a circus of occult VHS weirdness, demonic possession, paranoia, and a metric ton of practical-FX gore. The Cast & Crew Facing the Inflation The Bay Area-based production company Dead End Films has built its identity on avoiding cheap digital shortcuts in favor of practical craftsmanship and genuine personality. Bringing this particular nightmare to life is an ensemble cast featuring Robert Carrera, Shelby Broadnax, and Justin Jobe. Justine Leverett, Scott Somers, Tony Sommers, Konnor Heredia, Timothy Waldron,

If you thought your pandemic lockdown was rough, Netflix is about to make your worst claustrophobic nightmares look like a luxury spa day. The streaming giant has dropped the first trailer for The Last House, an intense sci-fi thriller that asks a deeply unsettling question: How long could you survive with only the items in your home? The Ultimate Long-Term Lockdown The film follows a normal family that suddenly finds itself locked inside its house with no explanation, no escape routes, and a mysterious, looming threat waiting just outside. The tension kicks off when Jason—played by Oscar nominee Wagner Moura (Narcos)—realizes the doors and windows have completely sealed them in while the rain pours down. And no, they can’t just call a locksmith. Days bleed into weeks, and weeks bleed into literal years. Jason and his wife, Ann (played by Greta Lee in Past Lives), are left with absolutely no answers for their young kids, Ruth and Graham. As the

Hold onto your cowboy hats and lock up your livestock. The creative team behind the 2025 prehistoric cult hit Primitive War is back, and they are trading the jungles of Vietnam for the lawless Wild West—complete with feathers, scales, and rows of razor-sharp teeth. Filmmaker Luke Sparke has dropped the first cryptic teaser for an ambitious, untitled new project that blends classic frontier mythology with an alternate reality where humans and dinosaurs have co-existed for generations. Inspired by the striking artwork of Shaun Keenan, the project aims to deliver a cinematic universe where “high noon” takes on a whole new, cold-blooded meaning. A Frontier Full of Teeth The brief teaser serves as a tantalizing first look before the team opens up the floor to the fans. This isn’t just a movie announcement; it’s a call to arms for creature-feature fanatics. “This is an opportunity for dinosaur enthusiasts, Primitive War fans, and cinema buffs to be a part of the production

New Line and Warner Bros. are officially back to ensure you never look at your family members the same way again. Evil Dead Burn, the highly anticipated sixth entry in the legendary, blood-drenched franchise, is locked, loaded, and ready to swallow your soul in theaters this July. To ensure our collective anxiety levels stay appropriately elevated, a new teaser has just been unleashed. Grief Counseling via Deadites Steering this new chapter into the flesh-possessing abyss is director Sébastien Vaniček. He’s the visionary mastermind who recently turned arachnophobia into an art form with the relentless creature-feature Infested. Vaniček co-wrote the screenplay alongside his Infested collaborator Florent Bernard, so audiences should expect the pacing to be absolutely merciless. The narrative zeroes in on Alice, played by Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), a woman desperately processing the recent loss of her husband. Unfortunately for Alice, the Necronomicon has never been known to respect the grieving process. Soon enough, she finds herself fighting off
