Watch: Showrunners Victor LaValle and Chris Cantwell Tease “The Terror: Devil in Silver” in Our Interview
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 on May 7, 2026, 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. One Way Ticket to Hell Based on the 2012 novel by Victor LaValle, the season 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,

Sam Raimi’s Survival Horror ‘Send Help’ Lands a Streaming Date
Sam Raimi’s Send Help Landing on Hulu If you prefer your survival thrillers with a side of “Oh god, why am I watching this?”, then Sam Raimi has a gift for you. The undisputed king of gross-out horror is bringing his latest stomach-churning masterpiece, Send Help, to streaming. After raking in a cool $94 million at the box office—comfortably doubling its $40 million budget—Raimi’s “horror renaissance” is proving that audiences still have a massive appetite for the macabre. A Different Kind of Evil While Raimi built his throne on the supernatural foundations of The Evil Dead, he’s traded the Necronomicon for something a bit more grounded, but no less visceral. There are no demons here—just the terrifying reality of being stranded on a desert island with a survival battle that escalates from “unfortunate” to “absolutely psychotic.” The film stars Dylan O’Brien and Rachel McAdams, who deliver what critics are calling a “deliciously nasty battle of wits.” As their characters struggle

Blood in the Water: Markiplier’s Iron Lung Shatters the Indie Ceiling and is Coming Home
If you thought being trapped in a rickety submarine on an alien moon sounded like a bad time, Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach has roughly $51 million reasons to disagree. His debut feature, Iron Lung, hasn’t just survived its theatrical run—it has thrived, officially cementing itself as one of the top five highest-grossing horror films of 2026. Based on David Szymanski’s claustrophobic indie game, the film is a masterclass in the “less is more” school of terror. With a budget of just $3 million, Markiplier’s self-distributed “creep-fest” has delivered a massive return. It proves that audiences are hungry for high-concept horror, even if it involves 80,000 gallons of fake blood and a protagonist welded into a metal tube. The YouTube Revolution: A New Distribution Model For those wondering why a digital release hasn’t hit yet, Fischbach isn’t just looking for a platform—he’s building a new one. Mark is currently in the “final phase” of a deal to become a digital aggregator for

The O’Connells Are Back and Coming Early: ‘The Mummy ‘4 Release Date Moves Up by a Year
If you’ve been checking your watch for the last 25 years, you can finally take a breath. Rick and Evy aren’t just coming back; they’re coming back early. Universal Pictures has officially exhumed The Mummy 4 from its 2028 tomb and moved the release date up to October 15, 2027. The film—which marks the triumphant reunion of Academy Award winners Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz—was originally eyeing a May 2028 slot. However, the studio has cleared the runway for a “spooky season” launch, essentially swapping places with the Miami Vice ’85 reboot. The Gang’s All Here While the plot is being kept under more wraps than a fresh mummy in Hamunaptra, we do know we’re getting a reunion. Fraser and Weisz return as Rick and Evelyn O’Connell for the first time since 2001’s The Mummy Returns. (We’re all collectively choosing to pretend 2008 didn’t happen). The news doesn’t stop there. John Hannah is officially confirmed to return as the ever-unfortunate

Faces of Death (2026) Slashes its Way into Theaters
The infamous 1978 cult classic that once fueled urban legends and parental nightmares is officially back, but this time, the “snuff” is a bit more self-aware. Shudder’s reimagining of Faces of Death has just begun its theatrical run, and the early critical consensus suggests it’s not exactly a flatline. While the original was a grimy anthology of “real” (and famously faked) death footage, this 2026 update trades the VHS aesthetic for the digital dread of the modern internet. The story follows a content moderator who descends into a rabbit hole of videos that meticulously—and violently—recreate iconic death scenes from cinema history. It’s a meta-horror setup that asks: in an era of endless scrolling, what does it take actually to shock us? Early Reviews Early reviews are trickling in, and the film currently holds a respectable 60% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics seem split between praising its direction and worrying it’s trying to be a bit too “intellectual” for a splatter

Film Producer Zainab Azizi Talks Making ‘Send Help’ in Our Interview
What do Boy Kills World, Locked, and Don’t Move have in common? Besides being great films? What links them is Zainab Azizi, who produced them all. This lovely lady has a long record of making great films, and her latest, Send Help, might just be the best so far. I had the pleasure of discussing Send Help with Azizi. And you should check out the interview below, where she discusses the making of the film, the cast, and so much more, including women in cinema. Send Help, from director Sam Raimi, stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien. In the film, two colleagues become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash, and are the only survivors. After being tormented by her jerk boss, it’s Linda’s (McAdams) turn to be in charge. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. Get

‘Killer Whale’ is Set to Make a Bloody Splash on Digital This May
If you thought the sharks were the only thing Virginia Gardner had to worry about, think again—this time, she’s trading the heights of Fall for the high seas. Plaion Pictures has confirmed that the upcoming creature feature Killer Whale will splash onto all major digital platforms this May. Directed by Jo-Anne Brechin and co-written by Katharine McPhee, the film asks a very simple question: What happens when the”Pandas of the Sea” decide they’re done being cute? Apex Predators and Past Regrets The survival thriller stars Gardner (Fall) and Mel Jarnson (Mortal Kombat) as Trish and Maddie, two best friends whose relaxing ocean getaway takes a turn for the” actually, we’re the appetizers.” Trapped in a deadly standoff with a wild Orca, the duo must navigate the freezing water while hauling around some serious emotional baggage from their past. It’s a race to see what catches up to them first: their trauma or the ocean’s most intelligent killing machine. The “Free

Godolkin University Is Officially Closing Its Doors: “Gen V” Has Come to an End
Godolkin University Is Officially Closing Its Doors. It looks like the tuition at Godolkin University finally became too much to bear. “Gen V,” the gore-soaked college spinoff of “The Boys,” has been expelled. Amazon Prime Video has opted not to renew the series for a third season, meaning the sophomore slump was also its final bow. The news comes despite a strong start for Season 2 last autumn, but even Compound V couldn’t keep the show’s momentum from flatlining in the ratings. Graduation… or Just an Early Exit? In a joint statement (via Variety), executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg tried to soften the blow for fans of the God U crew: “While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we’re committed to continuing the Gen V characters’ stories in The Boys Season 5 and other VCU projects on the horizon. You’ll see them again.” Translation: The show is dead, but the survivors are

Interview: Mayors, Monsters, and Missing Wi-Fi: A Sit-Down with the Cast and Creator of Apple TV’s “Widow’s Bay”
If you’re planning to visit Widow’s Bay, you might want to double-check your life insurance. Ahead of its April 29 premiere on Apple TV+, I sat down with stars Matthew Rhys, Kate O’Flynn, and Stephen Root, along with creator Katie Dippold (Ghostbusters, The Heat), to discuss why this quaint New England island is the last place you’d want to spend a summer vacation. Between the lack of Wi-Fi and the abundance of ancient curses, there is plenty to talk about. Here is the lowdown on the series and what the team had to say about bringing this horror-comedy hybrid to life. Welcome to the Island Set 40 miles off the coast of New England, Widow’s Bay follows Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), a man who is desperately trying to save his dying town by turning it into a premier tourist destination. The problem? The locals are notoriously superstitious, the cell reception is nonexistent, and everyone thinks Tom is a bit

An Interview with ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ Composer Sven Faulconer
Without a score, without music, movies and TV series wouldn’t be the same. After all, it shapes impressions, influences a scene’s vibe, and lends emotion. One great example of that is the killer soundtrack for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. The composer behind the blend of ’80s and dark instrumentals is none other than Sven Faulconer. He’s also the composer of the soundtrack for Scream VI. I sat down with Sven to discuss the soundtrack, how music shapes emotion and scenes, and so much more. He filled us in on his process and told us some stories. Ready or Not Unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere, you’ve probably already seen the trailer for the batshit crazy (in the best possible way), brutal movie. A “Must See” Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, a must-see, sees the stakes leveled up from “deadly in-laws” to “shadowy global cabal.” Our favorite bride (Samara Weaving) is back, but this
