John Goodman Joins the Cast of ‘Skeletons’ from the Director of Strange Darling

If your cinematic radar hasn’t already been buzzing over Sony Pictures’ upcoming high-concept horror film Skeletons, it’s time to recalibrate. The project was already a massive blip on the genre map. However, the star-studded momentum just hit hyperdrive with the massive news that industry legend John Goodman has officially signed on to star. But Goodman is no stranger to the genre. He appeared in films like 10 Cloverfield Lane, the series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” and so much more. Goodman joins an absolute powerhouse lineup that includes Academy Award winner Brie Larson and indie genre darling Kyle Gallner—who is thrillingly reuniting with director JT Mollner following his spectacular, unhinged collaboration on the non-linear thriller Strange Darling. Oh, and a guy named J.J. Abrams is producing. That’s one hell of a team. A Terrifyingly Twisted Family Secret Do not walk into the theater expecting a routine, bargain-bin jump-scare fest. Skeletons is being described as a grounded, modern, and high-concept spin on

The Ultimate 4th of July Horror Watch List

Are you looking to stay out of the heat, skip the fireworks, but still feel a bit patriotic? We’ve got you covered. Here’s the ultimate 4th of July watch list, and we’ll even tell you where you can watch them. The Sci-Fi Horror Heavyweight: Independence Day (1996) While traditionally celebrated as a sci-fi action blockbuster, Roland Emmerich’s masterpiece leans heavily into creature-feature horror territory. From the suffocating dread of city-destroying shadows to the infamous, genuinely terrifying alien autopsy scene, it treats its hostile extraterrestrial invaders like unstoppable, predatory monsters. It remains the ultimate July 4th cinematic tradition. It comes complete with iconic explosions, peak Jeff Goldblum, and a presidential speech that still delivers goosebumps. You can currently stream it on Hulu and Disney+. You can also rent it on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The Definitive Holiday Slasher: I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) This is the ultimate 4th of July slasher. The entire

Sharks Infest the New Trailer for ‘The Bay’

Forget everything you know about safe tropical excursions. A new high-stakes fight for survival creature feature is coming full speed. The shark movie The Bay is arriving this July and has a new trailer for you to take a bite of. A commercial tour boat takes a handful of wealthy visitors out to a remote, strictly restricted shark sanctuary. Naturally, because this is a survival thriller, things go horribly wrong out on the open water. It’s time for you to sink your teeth into the new trailer, which reminds us that sharks don’t see us as friends; we’re food. Shark Bait Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Jeff Vespa, The Bay relies on an incredibly tight-knit ensemble to sell its claustrophobic chaos. Lachlan Taʻimua Hannemann anchors the cast as Ruhan, the tour boat’s resilient deckhand. He stars alongside dynamic co-stars such as Bruce Greenwood, Megan Fox, and Josh Hutcherson, who round out the small group of passengers caught in a shifting, high-stakes

Prehistoric Spider Horror ‘Don’t Move’ Crawls into Theaters This September

If you had “James ‘Murr’ Murray writes a creature feature about a giant prehistoric spider” on your 2026 bingo card, congratulations—you are a prophet. The Impractical Jokers star is shifting from public embarrassment to pure, unadulterated arachnophobia. His upcoming monster movie, Don’t Move, is officially crawling into theaters nationwide this September. The film is an adaptation of the 2020 novel of the same name by Murray and co-author Darren Wearmouth. To celebrate the release, Murr announced a pair of special premiere events: one in Kansas City on September 8 and the iconic TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on September 9, complete with Q&As and red-carpet photos. The official trailer drops on Wednesday, July 8. The Ozarks, an Occult-Free Arachnid, and a Church Group Forget the ghosts and demons; this time, nature is doing the killing. The plot sounds like the ultimate recipe for a high-yield body count. A church group embarks on its annual wilderness retreat in the Ozarks.

The New ‘Evil Dead Burn’ Clip Will Leave You Checking Under Your Bed

We are officially less than a month away from the release of Evil Dead Burn. And Warner Bros. apparently decided our blood pressure was a little too stable today. The studio has unleashed a brand-new clip from director Sébastien Vaniček’s upcoming grueling nightmare, and it proves that parental love really does survive the grave. In the brief but deeply unsettling footage, a daughter lovingly tucks her sick mother into bed. The mom mentions a fear of monsters under the mattress, but in a classic Evil Dead bait-and-switch, the real monster is the one under the covers. Cue the manic grins, the levitation, and the psychological torment. You can watch the clip below—maybe keep the lights on. Grief Counseling via Kandarian Demon If you thought the high-rise apartment in Evil Dead Rise was claustrophobic, wait until you see where the Book of the Dead is heading next. The story centers on Alice (Souheila Yacoub, Dune: Part Two), a woman desperately trying

The Director and Stars Talk ‘Hungry,’ Hippos, & Horror in Our Interview

When it comes to creature features, cinema has given us a million sharks, countless alligators, and plenty of oversized bears. But there is only one hippo horror movie, and it’s officially stomping its way into your viewing schedule. I’m talking about Hungry. Despite what the title might suggest, this is definitely not a whimsical, live-action adaptation of the classic Hasbro board game you played as a kid. There are no plastic marbles here—only tragedy, raw power, and a very high body count. The Itinerary: A Louisiana Tour Gone Horribly Wrong The story follows a group of thrill-seeking tourists who embark on a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which, in horror movie speak, translates directly to “no one is making it back to the hotel”—the group ends up completely off the map and very much on the menu. They soon find themselves systematically hunted by a creature Hollywood has criminally overlooked until now:

Does ‘Kraken’ Sink or Swim: A Spoiler Free Review

Norway has already mastered the art of the rampaging mountain troll and the claustrophobic tunnel collapse. Now, it is setting its sights on the coastline. Kraken, the latest creature feature from the land of the midnight sun, is officially headed your way. The verdict? Some Scandinavian legends are better left rotting at the absolute bottom of a fjord. If you are looking for a visceral addition to the “Nature Strikes Back” subgenre, Samuel Goldwyn Films is handling the distribution to ensure this beast gets the showcase it deserves. Kraken hits select theaters and digital on June 12. Just make sure you know what kind of cruise you are booking before you buy a ticket. Something Fishy in the Fjord The eco-horror trouble starts, as it so often does, with the seafood. When wild salmon begin exhibiting “unnatural behavior”—which, in horror movie terms, is the universal signal to sell your boat and move to Nebraska—inexplicable deaths begin piling up in Norway’s

Of course ol’ Ollie has other plans for it, and begins slipping doses of it to Morton’s teenage daughter, Trudy (Sandra Knight) which turns her into a monster in a swimsuit that runs amok in the P.M. while continuing to work on his
