Ahead of next week’s highly anticipated theatrical premiere, a new brutal clip from The Furious has just dropped to remind us all why our collective nervous systems aren’t ready. The footage features our two badass leads going absolutely caveman on each other in a brutal, knuckle-shattering showdown. Then, they suddenly realize they’re actually on the same side. To save their families, these two men are prepared to fight everyone on Earth, literally. Based on what we’ve seen so far, neither a freezing blizzard nor a wave of monolithic henchmen stands a snowball’s chance in hell of slowing them down. Get ready for a pure, unadulterated adrenaline shot of elite martial arts mastery and a whole lot of heart. The Plot: Lean, Mean, and Soaked in Vengeance The narrative framework of The Furious is a beautifully stripped-back, no-nonsense vehicle designed for maximum cinematic carnage: When a seemingly ordinary guy, Wang Wei, witnesses his daughter being snatched by a brutal criminal network,

If you’ve ever looked at your peaceful suburban neighborhood and thought, “This place is nice, but it could really use prehistoric apex predators,” director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) is about to fulfill your highly specific wish. Warner Bros. dropped the official trailer for The End of Oak Street this morning. And it is a glorious, mystery-box blend of nostalgic wonder and pure reptile terror. Produced by the king of cinematic secrets, J.J. Abrams, the film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as parents desperately trying to survive a neighborhood block party that has gone entirely off the rails. Welcome to Oak Street (Population: Unfortunate) Set in the early 1980s, the narrative framework drops the ultimate “what if” scenario onto a sleepy cul-de-sac. After a mysterious, reality-bending cosmic event literally rips Oak Street out of suburbia. The entire neighborhood is transported to a hostile, unknown dimension. The Platt family soon discovers that surviving in the brave new world requires them

If you thought the Necronomicon was done ruining family vacations and apartment complexes, think again. The bloodiest franchise in horror history is currently working overtime. Warner Bros. and New Line are making sure we don’t run out of blood and deadites anytime soon. Franchise fans are already hyperventilating over director Sébastien Vaniček’s upcoming Evil Dead Burn, which hits theaters next month on July 10. But we’ve just received confirmation that yet another standalone nightmare has officially wrapped production. Get ready to swallow some more souls. Evil Dead Wrath is officially in the can and has locked in a theatrical release date for April 7, 2028! A New Master of the Macabre Takes the Reins Steering this latest vehicle into the deadite-infested abyss is writer-director Francis Galluppi. If that name rings a bell, it’s because he recently blew critics away with his tense, masterful feature debut, The Last Stop in Yuma County. True to the franchise’s legendary secrecy, plot details for

This past weekend, I was scrolling through Prime Video, looking for a good scare. I saw a shiny little badge declaring Blood River (aka River of Blood) as the current #1 horror movie on the service, and I made the catastrophic mistake of hitting play. Now? I am fully convinced that Prime Video’s ranking algorithm is a pathological liar fueled by chaos. We need to talk about this movie, directed by Howard J. Ford and written by Tom Boyle, because I wasted an hour of my life that I can never get back, and my level of annoyance is currently breaking the scale. It’s not even one of those delightfully campy, “so bad it’s good” neighborhood masterpieces. No, friends. It’s just flat-out, aggressively bad. The Plot: An Infidelity Soap Opera… With Cannibals The setup is a beautifully unhinged trainwreck. A group of “friends” embarks on a jungle expedition with a local guide. To maximize the drama, two members of the

If you think you’ve seen every possible iteration of the grizzled, washed-up fighter crawling back into the cage for “one last round,” Lionsgate’s new mixed martial arts movie, Beast, is here to challenge your stamina. Directed by Tyler Atkins, the film aims to prove that while the redemption arc might be a tale as old as time, a fresh coat of paint and some heavy-hitting star power can still make it a total blast. The narrative blueprint is a lean, classic underdog setup. We follow Patton James (Daniel MacPherson), a once-feared, retired MMA champion. Patton’s pulled back into the world of flying knees and chokeholds for cash and to avenge his brother. However, to fix it, Patton must reunite with Sammy (Russell Crowe), the bitter trainer who originally sculpted him into a legend. The ultimate objective? One final, apocalyptic showdown. He faces the reigning titleholder, Xavier Grau (Bren Foster). He’s a man with whom Patton shares a bloody and brutal

Keep watching for our Tribeca reviews once the fest gets rolling! Turn It Up! An indie rock band struggling to make its mark finds a possible meal ticket in an infectious new guitar riff.

We’ve got great news for both horror and gaming fans! Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach has just unleashed his adaptation of Iron Lung on YouTube! His debut directorial feature, one of the most buzzed-about horror films of the year, hasn’t just survived its theatrical run. It absolutely conquered it. It brought in over $51 million against a meager, self-funded production budget of just $3 million. The indie sci-fi horror creep-fest has officially cemented itself as one of the top five highest-grossing horror films of 2026. Based on David Szymanski’s 2022 video game, the film is a masterclass in the “less is more” school of cinematic dread. It proves that audiences are utterly starved for high-concept, original horror. It doesn’t hurt that it broke the world record for fake blood (a casual 80,000 gallons). Bypassing the Studio Gatekeepers For months, fans have been desperately refreshing streaming platforms, waiting for a digital drop. As it turns out, Fischbach wasn’t just looking for a platform

The Duffer Brothers are officially trading in the teenage angst, D&D campaigns, and nosebleeds of Hawkins, Indiana, for a New Mexico retirement community. And no, they aren’t there for the shuffleboard or the 4:00 PM early bird special. Netflix‘s new sci-fi thriller “The Boroughs” has officially been renewed for Season 2! So if you thought the golden years were supposed to be peaceful, prepare to watch a bunch of retirees fight for their lives against things far worse than inflation and bad knees. Welcome to Paradise (Watch Your Back) Season one kicks off with Sam Coope. He is a fresh arrival who views this sun-drenched senior haven. One that is less of a relaxing retreat and more of a minimum-security prison. Things quickly pivot from mundane to terrifying when Sam becomes convinced that a bloodthirsty monster is stalking the cul-de-sacs after dark. Naturally, the local authorities assume Sam is just a confused older man yelling at clouds and perhaps needs

Let’s be real: pregnancy is already a biological body-horror movie. When cinema actually leans into that primal anxiety—think Rosemary’s Baby, It’s Alive, or Prevenge—the results are usually magnificent. Now, a new contender is entering the nursery, and it looks like an absolute doozy. The official teaser for the Turkish horror feature Mutter: The Diary of a Mother has dropped. And it is safe to say this kid won’t be making it into any Gerber commercials. The film will celebrate its World Premiere on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the AMC 19th St. East 6 in the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival’s “Escape from Tribeca“ lineup. A Mother’s Love Knows No Bounds (or Species) Written and directed by filmmaker Alphan Eşeli, Mutter takes the phrase “unconditional love” to a deeply disturbing extreme. Under incredibly traumatic circumstances, a young woman named Gül gives birth to her very first child. The catch? The newborn is an entirely inhuman, grotesque, alien-like creature. But because a

Move over, Halloween. Step aside, Friday the 13th. If you want to talk about true, unkillable cinematic endurance, you have to talk about the Witchcraft franchise. Launched in the glorious, neon-soaked direct-to-video boom of 1988, this enduring occult franchise has quietly spen four decades racking up sequels at a pace that puts mainstream studio slashers to shame. Now, the franchise is clawing its way back into the light for its astonishing eighteenth installment: Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light. And because no legendary genre revival is complete without an iconic screen presence. The production has officially recruited the hardest-working man in Hollywood: Oscar nominee Eric Roberts. This Isn’t Your Video Rental Store’s Witchcraft For decades, the Witchcraft name was synonymous with delightfully campy, low-budget late-night cable staples. Heavy on the supernatural melodrama, light on the existential dread. But the team behind The Lanterne of Light is staging a massive coup. Director Carissa Pierson and writer/star Andrew Pierson (A Soldier’s Descent) are
