With sensationalist headlines and a plethora of memes, people can’t seem to stop talking about the Hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius, a Dutch cruise ship that’s experiencing a viral outbreak. So, why am I here talking about it? Well, it’s kind of in my wheelhouse (no pun intended) as we’re looking at a Zoonotic Disease, something I know a bit about in my past career life working with animals! Long story short, you have nothing to worry about. The long story: Hantavirus is known to science as it was first seen around the Korean War, where soldiers in damp, dirty living conditions exposed them to their unwanted campmates…rodents. Rodents like rats and mice, but also through critters like moles, etc, can carry the Hantavirus and spread it through bites, their saliva, urine, or scat. Usually, when it comes to the urine and scat, it’s an aerosol, meaning it’s in the air and you can breathe it in, usually in

If you thought the worst thing about a flash flood was the property damage, The Asylum is here to remind you that it could always be worse. Much worse. The kings of the “mockbuster” have officially released the trailer for Shark Thrash. It’s their new survival thriller that proves the only thing more dangerous than a natural disaster is a beast with teeth. High Tide, Low Survival Rate The premise is classic Asylum gold: a sleepy, touristy beach town gets hit by a storm so massive it makes a hurricane look like a light drizzle. As the waters rise, a vacationing family finds itself trapped. But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just a plumbing issue. The floodwaters have brought a “shiver” of sharks directly onto the town’s streets. It’s a “surf and turf” situation where you are the turf, and the sharks are very, very, very, very hungry. The trailer brings a treasure trove of toothy goodness. Watch as the

If you think waking up after a five-minute power nap is disorienting, try five years. Beyond Casual Media has officially partnered with Premiere Digital to bring their award-winning psychological horror-thriller, The Observance, to just about every screen you own. Whether you prefer to pay per view (TVOD), subscribe (SVOD), or sit through ads for laundry detergent (AVOD), this cult-centric nightmare is headed your way following its successful run in AMC Theatres. Home, Bitter Home The film follows a woman who wakes up from a five-year coma after a car accident, only to realize she probably should have hit the snooze button. In her absence, an “enigmatic” religious leader has moved into her house, brainwashed her husband, and turned her daughter into a devotee. Oh, and the entire town is in on it, too. It’s a classic story of girl-meets-cult, girl-loses-family, girl-tries-not-to-get-sacrificed. The “Raimi” Factor One draw for genre fans is the presence of Ted Raimi. Whether you know him as

It looks like Paul Anthony Kelly is trading the Camelot-style drama of “Love Story” for something a bit more… ritualistic. Fresh off his breakout turn as JFK Jr., Kelly has officially joined the cast of “American Horror Story” Season 13. The announcement came during Disney’s annual upfronts in New York City. And in true Ryan Murphy fashion, it wasn’t just a press release—it was a spectacle. Fresh Blood at the Upfronts The presentation featured a lineup of American Horror Story royalty—Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Billie Lourd, and Emma Roberts. They were all flanked by hooded Druids (because what’s a Disney presentation without a little occult flair?). Kelly emerged from the shadows to deliver a line that was equal parts charming and ominous: “I guess every nightmare needs fresh blood, and 13’s my lucky number.” The “Supreme” Return FX is keeping the plot under a heavy shroud of secrecy. However, the official logline is leaning hard into

Forget the ring light; you’re going to need a silver bullet. Full Moon Features—the kings of cult camp led by Charles Band—has just dropped the trailer for their latest creature feature, Models vs. Werewolves. It’s exactly what it says on the tin, but with a “Scream Queen” cherry on top. The Ultimate Meta-Cast The biggest draw here? The legendary Dee Wallace. Considering she survived The Howling, she’s basically the only person in this cast with the “resume” to handle a werewolf infestation. She stars alongside a group of soon-to-be-shredded influencers played by Sara Moliski, Rebecca Stoughton, Alexa Reddy, Sophie Swiszcz, Hanna Hueston, and Bela Mraz. No Filter for This The story follows five self-centered influencers who head to a remote Airbnb in the woods (because that always ends well) to document a “once-every-500-years” full moon. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only ones excited about the celestial event. A pack of ancient, bloodthirsty werewolves has been waiting for this specific moonlight to

Highland Film Group has officially shifted into high gear, locking down a massive haul of international distribution deals for the high-octane action thriller Barracuda. With a cast that could successfully defend the multiverse and a director who knows his way around a visual trip, the film is currently burning rubber through production in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The Drivers and the Mechanics Leading the charge is Anthony Mackie (Captain America himself), joined by Dafne Keen Fernández (reunited with her fellow Marvel alum after a summer spent making Deadpool & Wolverine look easy). Rounding out the ensemble are Steven Bauer (Breaking Bad), Anthony Del Negro, and Don Worley. Behind the lens, Neil Burger (Limitless, The Illusionist) is directing a script by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes. If Burger’s previous work is any indication, expect this chase to look as sleek as the vintage car it’s named after. The first image has arrived, revealing Mackie, locked and loaded beside Dafne Keen Fernández,

It’s a good month to be a homebody with a high tolerance for viscera. Whether you’re looking for a fresh take on ancient curses or a pristine look at the most infamous “snuff” collection in cinema history, the home video gods are smiling. Since the trek to the local cinema is often more grueling than a desert expedition, these home releases are arriving just in time to save your gas mileage. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy: Coming to a Screen Near You Fresh off its theatrical run, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (New Line Cinema) is skipping the sarcophagus and heading straight for your living room. Cronin, who previously proved he could make a cheese grater terrifying in Evil Dead Rise, brings that same “practically-obsessed” energy to this Egyptian nightmare. The Mummy hits digital on May 19 on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. If you’d rather own it on physical media (which is highly recommended), it lands on

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when the most famous “Final Girls” in cinema history stop running and start directing? The Horror Collective has the answer. The distributor has officially nabbed the worldwide rights to Last Chance Motel, a high-concept slasher that is less of a movie and more of a “Horror Avengers” assembly. Parent company Studio Dome is currently introducing the film to international buyers at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it’s screening as part of the prestigious Fantastic Galas. The Ultimate Final Girl Crossover This isn’t just another desert slasher; it’s a multi-generational summit of horror icons. Directed, written by, and starring Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, 5, and the Rob Zombie entries) and Scout Taylor-Compton (Laurie Strode in Zombie’s Halloween), the film unites three eras of survival: Heather Langenkamp, the original Nancy Thompson who survived Freddy Krueger, joins the fray. Monica Keena (Freddy vs. Jason), Shane West (Salem), and Sierra McCormick (The Vast of Night) also star.

It was the social media hypothetical that launched a million think-pieces and an endless cycle of discourse: If you were alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a man or a bear? That viral question has now been transformed into a survival thriller titled, fittingly enough, Man or Bear. And it is heading to Cannes this week to launch sales. The “Final Girl” vs. The Great Outdoors Leading the film is Lauren LaVera, who has rapidly become a genre icon as Sienna Shaw in the Terrifier franchise. Swapping Art the Clown’s supernatural sadism for a more grounded (but equally terrifying) wilderness nightmare, LaVera stars as Alex. Alex meets a male hiker conspicuously missing gear (a red flag). He insists on tagging along; however, his behavior shifts from “awkward” to “erratic.” Alex is forced to choose between her social conditioning and her survival instincts. All while a literal apex predator looms in the shadows. A Pedigree of Pure Horror The

If you thought Dan Stevens had a rough time in Abigail, wait until you see him navigate the nightmare of a psychiatric hospital from hell. AMC+ and Shudder have released a tantalizing sneak peek at the second episode of the horror anthology’s third season, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” ahead of its second episode premiere this Thursday, May 14. Stevens, who also serves as executive producer, leads an elite ensemble that includes Judith Light, CCH Pounder, and Aasif Mandvi. If the premiere didn’t give you enough of a chill, “Disturbed” is looking to dial up the claustrophobia. Episode 102: “Disturbed” – What to Expect Directed by the legendary Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, “Yellowjackets”) and written by the novel’s original author Victor LaValle, this week’s installment promises to turn the “weird sounds in the ceiling” trope into a genuine panic attack. Pepper (Stevens) gets acquainted with his roommate, Coffee. In a place like New Hyde, “getting to know you” usually involves
