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. The Movie So Realistic, the Director Got Arrested For the uninitiated or the blissfully unaware, the 1980 classic follows four arrogant young documentary filmmakers who head deep into the Amazon rainforest, only to suffer a brutal death at the hands of an indigenous tribe who decide they’re what’s for dinner. The movie was so ahead of its time with its format that Deodato was

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’
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
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

Finally! Jason Voorhees Is Stepping into the Fog for Dead by Daylight’s 10th Anniversary!
After a decade of players practically begging and pleading, the horror gaming gods have finally answered. Dead by Daylight, in a monumental partnership with Jason Universe, is officially welcoming the undisputed king of Camp Crystal Lake: Jason Voorhees. To celebrate Dead by Daylight’s massive 10th anniversary, the ultimate slasher is bringing his 45-year legacy of hockey masks and heavy breathing into the game. The carnage kicks off today, May 26, 2026, on the Steam Public Test Build (PTB), before officially slashing onto live servers on June 16, 2026. The Ultimate Milestone For a game that prides itself on being the “Avengers of Horror,” missing Jason was like throwing a pizza party and forgetting the pizza. He’s been the number-one requested character since 2016. “There was never a question that our 10th Anniversary Chapter couldn’t just be big – it needed to be something really special,” says Dave Richard, Sr. Creative Director. “When we started to see a path to finally

A Feast for Body Horror Fans: ‘Stomach It’ is Now Streaming on Crypt TV!
If you like your horror with a massive side of “unprocessed trauma” and a healthy dose of practical, squelching viscera, your next obsession has arrived. Independent studio ISOTRE Films and director Peter Klausner’s award-winning short film, Stomach It, made major waves at the Cannes Film Festival—and you can watch it right now from the comfort of your couch. After crushing a heavy-hitting indie festival circuit—racking up laurels at everything from Screamfest and Panic Fest to Nashville and FilmQuest—Klausner’s “punch to the gut” is finally ready for its global close-up. The Vibe: Cronenberg Meets Craven Klausner clearly isn’t interested in the clean, sanitized, CGI-heavy scares of modern jump-scare cinema. Stomach It is a blood-soaked meditation on extreme isolation that seamlessly fuses stomach-churning practical effects with psychological decay. It’s a beautifully grotesque love letter to vintage body horror that asks a terrifying question: What happens when you literally cannot stomach your own past? Cleaning Up After the Dead Starring Jon Lee Richardson

Spoiler-Free Review: The Devil You Become
Synopsis Amidst a super virus that ravages most of the world’s population, a tenacious microbiology student (Brian K. Millard) leads a small team through a rogue planned exposure. But the human trials end tragically, taking his friends’ lives one by one and leaving potential treatments untested. As he becomes more and more isolated, the line between what’s real and what’s not begins to blur. Review I’m a hard sell on genre films inspired by — and often made during — COVID-19 lockdown, mainly because of burnout on the subgenre at this point, so when a new film about a deadly virus comes along that offers something exciting and unusual with original ideas, it gets my attention. The most recent feature film to do so is director Anthony Bushman’s Psychopomp (U.S., 2024), a horror-adjacent science fiction thriller made by Bushman and his cowriter and costar Brian K. Millard during the lockdown. Millard delivers an absolutely riveting lead performance as Theo, who
