An Interview with the Showrunners of “The Terror: Devil in Silver”

After a seven-year hiatus that felt longer than a winter in the Arctic, AMC’s prestige horror anthology is finally back to remind us that being trapped in a room is much worse than being trapped in the tundra. “The Terror: Devil in Silver” officially premieres this May, on AMC+ and Shudder, with a linear run on AMC to follow later this year. This six-episode descent into madness moves the franchise away from historical shipwrecks and internment camps, landing squarely in the claustrophobic nightmare of a modern psychiatric ward. The series, which is based on the 2012 novel by Victor LaValle, follows Pepper (Dan Stevens), a working-class man whose “bad luck and bad temper” land him in New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. Pepper quickly realizes that New Hyde is where society sends the people it wants to forget. Between the gaslighting doctors, the hostile patients, and a mysterious entity known as “The Devil” lurking in the shadows, Pepper’s struggle isn’t just about

Neon Strikes Again: Jeff Nichols’ Southern Gothic Nightmare ‘King Snake’ Finds a Home

Neon, the studio that seems to have a permanent VIP reservation at the Academy Awards (thanks to Parasite and Anora), has officially snatched up the U.S. rights to King Snake. This isn’t just another pickup. It’s a Southern Gothic horror feast directed by Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter). He’s the man who made us all a little more afraid of the Arkansas wilderness in Mud. The Dream Team Reunited If a Jeff Nichols film doesn’t feature Michael Shannon (pictured), is it even a Jeff Nichols film? The Revolutionary Road star—and Nichols’ unofficial cinematic soulmate (Take Shelter, Midnight Special)—is back for more. He’s joined by a powerhouse cast that ensures this won’t be your run-of-the-mill jump-scare fest. That includes Margaret Qualley (The Substance) and Drew Starkey. Fresh from a breakout turn in Queer, Starkey is trading prestige drama for whatever darkness lurks in the Bayou. And of course, Michael Shannon, who is bringing his signature “I have seen things you wouldn’t believe”

Trailer: Djimon Hounsou Sharpens His Blade for the Horror Thriller ‘Twisted’

The Doctor Will See You Now (And It’s Not for a Checkup) Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Day One) may have spent his career playing heroes and stoics, but in Twisted, he’s trading the Hippocratic Oath for something a little more… visceral. Hounsou is joined by Lauren LaVera, who survived Art the Clown in the Terrifier franchise only to find herself in a different kind of nightmare. The Ultimate Bad Roommate Story LaVera stars as Paloma, a grifter running a high-stakes real estate scam in the concrete jungle of New York City. Her hustle? Leasing out luxury apartments she doesn’t actually own to unsuspecting marks. The con is working beautifully until she tries to play Dr. Robert Kezian (Djimon Hounsou), a neurosurgeon with a massive apartment and an even bigger God complex. When the doctor catches on, the game doesn’t just flip—it gets flayed. Paloma finds herself captured and subjected to a terrifying, methodical plan. One that demands far more

Netflix Drops New Trailer for Series “The Boroughs” From the Duffer Bros.

The Duffer Brothers, the duo behind “Stranger Things, are trading Hawkins for a New Mexico retirement village. But this village isn’t just about shuffleboard and naps; something dangerous is hiding among the homes in “The Boroughs.” Paradise with a Pulse (Barely) Netflix’s new sci-fi series introduces us to Sam Cooper, a new resident who thinks his new community feels like a prison. Sam is convinced a monster is stalking the cul-de-sacs at night. And naturally, the authorities think Sam is just another confused old man.

The Ultimate A-Team Sam teams up with a band of neighborhood misfits to fight back: a sharp-witted former journalist, a spiritual seeker, a cynical music manager, and a doctor with a dark secret.
