7 Creepy Sports Movies to Add to Your 2026 Watchlist

Sports already flirt with horror. Think of a missed penalty, a rookie freezing under stadium lights, or a fighter trying to stand when everyone knows he should sit. The body is on the line, pride is on the line, and the crowd wants more. With CBS News’ interview with Tyriq Withers on the Jordan Peele-produced film Him, bringing football horror back into the conversation, these seven films are worth saving. Black Sunday (1977) This one does not need ghosts. Black Sunday turns the Super Bowl into a nightmare of timing, crowds, and public panic. The blimp is the image people remember, but the fear comes from the scale. Everyone is looking at the game. Almost nobody is looking up. Black Swan (2010) Black Swan makes ballet feel like combat in silk shoes. Natalie Portman plays Nina, a dancer so hungry for perfection that the line between discipline and collapse starts to disappear. The pressure feels recognizable. Coaches demand more, rivals

Review: ‘Monkey Man’ is a Bloody Brutal “Must See!”

Academy Award-nominated actor Dev Patel’s (Lion, Slumdog Millionaire) new white-knuckle revenge movie is out now. I’ve been waiting to see this one for a while. I was not disappointed. Let’s talk about it in this Monkey Man review. Patel proves he’s a triple threat with Monkey Man, directing, writing, and starring in the revenge-fueled balls-to-the-wall movie, which left me saying, “Hell yeah!”This is even more impressive because it is Patel’s directorial debut. However, Patel is not the only notable name involved; Jordan Peele (Get Out) is a producer. So, what’s it about? The film draws inspiration from the revered Hindu deity Hanuman, a symbol of immense strength and unwavering courage. This influence shapes Kid’s character, a young man hardened by a brutal reality.

But beneath the surface lies a simmering rage
