Mark your calendars this July, because the intense new horror-thriller Kill Trip is officially dropping on Digital and On Demand to turn a standard vacation into a total bloodbath. Don’t Hitch a Ride The story follows a group of carefree festivalgoers who are just trying to hitch a ride toward what should be the best, most music-filled weekend of their lives.

Forget Sharks: ‘Hungry’ is Bringing Hippos to the Horror Genre! Watch it Now on Digital!

Hey there, creature-feature fiends. If you’re tired of the same old sharks, bears, and gators hogging the genre spotlight, it’s time to update your phobia list. A new apex predator is throwing its considerable weight around on Digital right now, and it answers to one name: Hungry. That’s right. Move over, Jaws. Horror is finally giving us what we actually deserve: killer hippos. This Isn’t Your Childhood Board Game Despite the title, Hungry is absolutely not a whimsical, live-action adaptation of the Hasbro game you played as a kid. There are no colorful plastic marbles here—only tragedy, terror, and a whole lot of missing limbs. The plot kicks off in classic horror fashion: a group of thrill-seeking tourists boards a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which, in horror movie speak, translates directly to “congratulations, you are now a buffet”—the group ends up way off the map and very much on the menu.

Lily James Set to Lead Horror Movie ‘Seasons’ Based on Viral Reddit Story

The internet’s favorite campfire circle has struck again. Director Drew Hancock—who is already generating buzz with his thriller Companion—is officially stepping behind the camera. This time it’s for the new horror film titled Seasons for Amazon MGM Studios. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hancock’s script is adapted from a viral short story by Matt and Harrison Query. It first terrified Reddit users. If that premise sounds vaguely familiar to the internet community, that’s because the project was originally announced under the much more literal, real-estate-heavy title, My Wife and I Bought a Ranch. HOA Fees Are the Least of Their Problems For those who haven’t scrolled through the original thread, the official synopsis for Seasons promises a deeply disturbing tale. The film follows a husband and wife who buy their absolute dream ranch. However, they quickly discover that the picturesque land is crawling with ancient spirits. As it turns out, surviving the mortgage means submitting to increasingly disturbing supernatural rituals

Rosemary’s Baby, But Make It 2026: ‘Son of Sara: Volume One’ Gets a Release Date

The cinematic landscape is officially kicking off with a beautifully blasphemous bang thanks to horror movies like Obsession and Backrooms. Now, director Houston Bone’s wickedly entertaining Son of Sara: Volume 1 is joining the party. We are all deeply, dearly familiar with Rosemary’s Baby and the classic “unexpectedly birthing the Antichrist” setup. However, Son of Sara: Volume One drags the premise kicking and screaming into the 21st century, boasting a deliciously campy tone that straddles the line between satanic horror and pitch-black comedy. Following a massive wave of festival hype, Saban Films has officially acquired the U.S. distribution rights for the picture, with New York-based Visit Films handling international sales at the European Film Market. From YouTube Streams to Demonic Screams The film’s journey to the screen began back in October 2023, surviving a grueling shoot fueled by independent financing from Grisly Productions LLC and support from Telefilm Canada. Produced by Martine Brouillet under Bone’s Black Elephant Productions banner, the

From the Upside Down to the Big Screen: The Duffer Brothers Set First Feature Film at Paramount

The Duffer Brothers are officially graduating from Hawkins, Indiana, and elders in the desert and heading straight to the multiplex. Variety reports that Matt and Ross Duffer, the masterminds behind “Stranger Things,” have officially set their first feature film. And it will be under their massive, four-year exclusive deal with Paramount. Fresh off wrapping up their flagship Netflix hit and delivering their second acclaimed series, “The Boroughs,” the duo are parting ways with the streaming giant’s movie division to focus on old-school cinematic spectacles. The studio has locked in a wide theatrical release date of November 3, 2028, for the yet-to-be-titled project. Plot Under Wraps (Naturally) In classic Hollywood fashion, specific plot details are being guarded more fiercely than a government laboratory.

Spoiler-Free Review: Recluse (Tribeca Festival 2026)

Official Synopsis After being summoned back to her childhood home to care for her bedridden father, Joan must confront the unearthed demons of her family’s past and contend with the home’s dark, malevolent energy that is both unseen and, much to her horror, seen. Review Horror films involving protagonists working closely with sound are practically becoming a subgenre in the fright-fare field recently — Rabbit Trap and Undertone, for example. The latest entry is writer/director/composer Henry Chaisson’s Recluse, a gothic chiller drenched in dread. When will horror film protagonists learn not to return to their childhood homes when estranged parents suffer health issues or die? Hopefully never, if the resulting tales are as intriguing as Recluse. Joan (Sasha Frolova), a sound recordist in the film industry does just that when her father, acclaimed but highly troubled painter Lawrence (Xander Berkeley) —who evidently was no stranger to the dark arts — is badly burned in a fire. Housekeeper to the expansive

Movie Review: Busted Babies – Blood Sick Blu-ray

Kasper Meltedhair’s Busted Babies is going to be a real bitch and a half to try and explain to you cats n’ creeps, but here fuckin’ goes… “______” (Kasper Meltedhair), is a strange lady possessing horns, polka dot skin, and strap-on bat wings. Our heroine can also turn babies to glass… which is of interest to a dancing gaggle of suited dudes that gain immortality when showered in the broken glass babies… Things get stranger as our non-linear, fever-dream narrative takes us through a world of bizarre folks (creatures?) that inhabit a world of odd punk rock shows, bizarre parties, and absolute brazen insanity. They way this psychotronic whirlwind is presented is as imaginative as it is mind-shatteringly weird. Kasper Meltedhair goes all in on creating a world unto it’s own, filtered through a low-fi, S.O.V. style that at times come across like our favorite drive-in flicks of yore (complete with bands providing padding) mixed with animation, unique yet simple
