‘Yellow Eyes’ Explores Dark Obsession and Demonic Corruption in New Trailer

Supernatural horror fans are in for a claustrophobic, slow-burn descent into madness. Director Jesse Korman’s upcoming feature film, Yellow Eyes, has unleashed a new trailer ahead of its release.

Horror and Thrillers Hitting Streaming Services this August

As summer wanes, August serves as a calm entry point before Halloween season kicks off in earnest next month. While it may be a relatively light period for major horror drops, major streaming platforms are quietly packing their libraries with a mix of original premieres, cult favorites, and franchise marathons. Netflix is handing us a double order of psychological damage this August with two brand-new originals, The Last House and The Whisper Man. Prefer your terror stuffed with polyester and sheer spite? They’re also unloading virtually the entire Chucky collection—ideal for anyone nostalgic for a simpler era of micro-budget plastic slayings. Over at Shudder, the algorithm remains wonderfully unhinged. They’re unleashing a creature-feature trifecta that includes the monstrous Hellcat and an Ozploitation madness trip dubbed Penny Lane is Dead. .

Sam Raimi Is Pulling the Strings on the Upcoming Reboot of the Puppet Horror ‘Magic’

Fresh off the bloody success of his survival thriller Send Help, Sam Raimi is refusing to let horror fans catch their breath. Last year, we learned he was producing a reboot of the 1978 psychological cult classic Magic. Now, he has officially upgraded his status to director—because why watch from the sidelines when you can personally orchestrate a dummy-induced panic attack? The Team: Getting the Band Back Together This “newly imagined” take on the vintage killer-doll flick is set up at Lionsgate and features a killer lineup of creative talent. Raimi is reuniting with Send Help scribes Mark Swift and Damian Shannon (the delightfully chaotic minds who also gave us Freddy vs. Jason). Joining Raimi in the dugout are horror heavyweights Roy Lee, Chris Hammond, and Tim Sullivan, with Meredith Wieck and Pavan Kalidindi overseeing the madness for Lionsgate. Given the agonizing psychological warfare Swift and Shannon cooked up for Send Help, handing them and Raimi a psychotic wooden puppet

Spoiler-Free Reviews: SUBJECT and PSYCHOSIS (Popcorn Frights)

Subject (2023) Australian shocker Subject centers on Willem (Stephen Phillips), who we meet when he is under arrest and in a police van, only to be taken away by mysterious agent Dalesky (director Tristan Barr), who offers him an alternative to prison. Willem, who proclaims innocence of any crime, accepts the offer, which involves observing a monster in the room next to his while being denied contact with any other human other than Dalesky, who conducts occasional question-and-answer sessions involving electrical shocks. Memories reminiscent of home movies cloud Willem’s mind, bringing back thoughts of his late wife Carrie (Cecilia Low) and their two daughters, most of which are unpleasant. Barr, working from a screenplay by Vincent Befi, builds the mystery and suspense terrifically, leaving open to viewer interpretation exactly what is happening to the highly troubled Willem. Phillips is on screen for the majority of the film, and he gives a fine performance depicting his complex character. Challenging, intriguing, and
