No Way Out: Netflix’s ‘The Last House’ Trailer Turns into a Sci-Fi Nightmare

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

Movie Review: Get the Gloriously Gross 20th Anniversary Steelbook of James Gunn’s ‘Slither’ Now!

Most people hear the name James Gunn and think Guardians of the Galaxy or his shiny new Superman movie. Not me. When I hear his name, my mind immediately goes to the gutter—specifically to Slither, his 2006 masterpiece of sci-fi slime that helped turn him into the cinematic mastermind he is today. So, the second I heard about the glorious new 20th Anniversary 4K Steelbook, I threw my wallet at the screen. Let’s say it did not disappoint. Slimey Tentacle Aliens If you’ve never experienced this beautiful disaster, the story is a classic “alien parasite meets the backwoods” nightmare. A space rock lands in a sleepy town. Then a local businessman is transformed into a walking tentacled biological hazard as the alien begins a messy mission to consume every living thing on Earth. It’s up to the town’s delightfully dry-witted Sheriff (Nathan Fillion, delivering peak Fillion) and a resilient local wife of the victim (Elizabeth Banks) to stop the infestation

Hounds of Love Director Ben Young is Adapting Stephen King’s ‘Mr. Yummy’ for Film

Just when you thought Hollywood had run out of Stephen King properties to adapt, the industry digs a little deeper into the master of horror’s bibliography. According to Deadline, Ben Young—the filmmaker who leaves audiences thoroughly unsettled with the psychological horror Hounds of Love—has officially signed on to direct Mister Yummy. The film is an adaptation of a short story tucked inside King’s 2015 collection, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams.

He’s a charismatic resident of an assisted living facility whose quiet life goes off the rails after a fellow resident passes away.

The New ‘Dead by Daylight’ Movie Has Found Its Director

It’s officially happening. Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Behaviour Interactive have officially chosen their champion to direct the upcoming live-action adaptation of the mega-hit asymmetrical horror game, Dead by Daylight. The man holding the flashlight? Thordur Palsson. The Icelandic director is best known for creating and directing “The Valhalla Murders” (Netflix’s first-ever Icelandic original series) and his atmospheric 2025 psychological horror debut, The Damned. He’s currently wrapping up a disaster miniseries called Avalanche, but his next job will involve navigating a much more intentional kind of catastrophe. “There is no better moment than the tenth anniversary to share this news,” said Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse. “Thordur is the filmmaker we trust to carry Dead by Daylight from the screen you play on to the big screen you watch in theaters.” For the Uninitiated: What is Dead by Daylight? If you’ve spent the last decade avoiding the gaming world, Dead by Daylight is a chaotic, stress-inducing multiplayer survival game.

Movie Review: “They Will Kill You” Is an Action-packed, Blood-Drenched Must-See – Stream It Now!

They Will Kill You—the raucous, blood-soaked action-horror-comedy that transforms a Manhattan high-rise into a literal house of the damned. If you’re a genre fan who lives for a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor and John Wick-style stunts, lock this in right now: this movie is an absolute must-watch. Zazi Beetz (Deadpool 2) stars as Asia, a woman who thinks she’s struck gold with a standard New York City apartment at “The Virgil.” Instead, she quickly uncovers that her gorgeous high-rise is actually a demonic death trap operating as a temple to Satan. To survive the night, Asia is forced to wage an absolute war against a gauntlet of robed zealots through corridors drenched in blood. And an onslaught of fights and supernatural twists. Director Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Die!) masterfully helms the chaos from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators). Bringing extra horror pedigree to the table, IT director Andy Muschietti produces the film alongside Barbara Muschietti
