A24’s ‘Backrooms’ Explodes at the Box Office as Companion Game Hits Consoles

It is an absolutely wild time to be a horror fan. The genre isn’t just evolving; it is completely rewriting the Hollywood playbook. This weekend, the liminal nightmare Backrooms lands in theaters—and it is currently on track to pull off a historic, gravity-defying box office miracle. According to a thrilling report from Variety, the film is currently tracking to scare up a massive $40 million to $50 million in the United States alone over its opening weekend. To put that into perspective: the film cost a lean $10 million to produce. If these numbers hold, it will comfortably crush Civil War ($25.5M) to secure A24’s biggest opening weekend debut in company history. While Scream 7 still holds the crown for the year’s top horror opening ($63.6M back in February), Backrooms is poised to destroy the rest of the 2026 competition, cementing an unbelievable financial win for A24 and its visionary creator.

Game Review: 'FORENSIC - M.E. Protocol'

Game Review: ‘FORENSIC – M.E. Protocol’

Back in the early 2000s, CSI was insanely popular, as seen with almost every major city in the U.S. being represented in its own series. There were games based on the show, and they were…interesting. But now, fans of forensic science can look forward to a goofy indie game I was given to try by K148 Game Studio and JanduSoft titled FORENSIC – M.E. Protocol. In FORENSIC – M.E. Protocol, you take on the role of a cop that’s part of the forensics team, and it’s your job to investigate the scene of suspected crimes to determine if a crime was committed or not. Now, onto the game itself! The controls for this game will take some time to get used to, as it’s quite… unique. Unfortunately, there’s no real tutorial telling you how to use the controls, or even how to properly use some of the equipment you’re using in the game. There is a training level, but that

One of the Most Controversial Films Ever Made is Coming to Theaters: Cannibal Holocaust!

It is turning out to be a truly spectacular year for cinephiles. If you thought modern horror movies were testing your limits, the granddaddy of theatrical trauma is returning to the big screen to show the new kids how it’s done. The saintly lunatics at Grindhouse Releasing are bringing Ruggero Deodato’s legendary, ultra-notorious faux-documentary Cannibal Holocaust to theaters nationwide. Yes, you heard that right. And get this, it’s a brand-new, fully uncensored 4K restoration presented in its native 16mm. It’s the crispest, cleanest, and most agonizingly detailed look at the stomach-turning film you will ever get.

Jane Schoenbrun’s ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ Unveils New Blood-Drenched Trailer and Poster

Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section got a major, neon-drenched vibe check. The world premiere of Jane Schoenbrun’s highly anticipated third feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, kicked off with the exact kind of gorgeous, blood-splattered chaos that practically guarantees future cult-classic status. The screening wrapped up with a tearful Schoenbrun hugging stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson amidst a six-minute standing ovation. The crowd was totally locked into the film’s wild narrative and aggressively over-the-top, practical gore sequences. Schoenbrun even set the tone before the projector locked in, kicking off the night by quoting an unlikely philosopher: Drake. “There’s this song by Drake called ‘Started From the Bottom,’ and it goes, ‘Started from the bottom, now we’re here,’” Schoenbrun told the cheering crowd. “It’s unbelievable… I can’t believe I’m standing up here in a room full of people who are here to watch our movie.” The Meta-Slasher We Deserve Produced by MUBI, the film is a fierce meta-slasher

An Unplayable Mess: 'Necrophosis: Full Consciousness'

An Unplayable Mess: ‘Necrophosis: Full Consciousness’

What happens when Lovecraft meets Beksiński? You get Necrophosis: Full Consciousness. That alone should be exciting news. Unfortunately, the copy I got for the Xbox is, as the title says, an unplayable mess. I was only able to get to the second map in the game, where I’m softlocked by a puzzle. At the time of writing this, when I reported the game-crashing bug, I was told that it’s just me and that the game is fine. I call BS. I don’t know if it’s just for the Xbox that this bug happened, or if the other console ports of this game have this issue. I know the good ol’ adage of turning it off and on again is running through some of your minds, and I did just that. I did a hard restart of the game, and even restarted the main game’s story. The game break took a strange turn. Instead of restarting me at the start of

From the Mind Behind Se7en Comes 'Psycho Killer': Slashing its Way onto Hulu

From the Mind Behind Se7en Comes ‘Psycho Killer’: Slashing its Way onto Hulu

If your weekend plans don’t currently involve a healthy dose of ritualistic murder, road-trip vengeance, and Malcolm McDowell, 20th Century Studios and New Regency are here to fix that. After a gory theatrical run back in February, the unapologetically brutal Satanic slasher Psycho Killer is finally making its streaming debut this Friday, May 29, 2026, on Hulu (and via the Hulu on Disney+ bundle). The film comes from the beautifully twisted mind of screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker—the same man who wrote Se7en and Sleepy Hollow—so you already know the vibe is going to be distinctly bleak, drenched in rain, and deeply concerned with human depravity. Don’t Mess with Kansas Highway Patrol Modern horror royalty Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) stars as a grieving Kansas highway patrol officer who hits the asphalt with a single, laser-focused mission: track down the man who murdered her husband. Unfortunately for her, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill hitchhiker. As her highway manhunt intensifies, she discovers that the killer
