An Interview with Scream Queen Sadie Katz

An Interview with Scream Queen Sadie Katz

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet amazing people. One of those is Scream Queen Sadie Katz. I first interviewed her back in 2017. Now, ‘ve had the pleasure of catching up with the talented star, who is also an amazing person – kind, funny, and badass. I sat down with Sadie not only to catch up on what she’s been up to, but also to discuss her two most recent films, Night Carnage and Clutch. In N ht Carnage, directed by Thomas J. Churchill, Katz and Mike Ferguson play members of the mysterious Knight Society, an ancient organization. Together, they take on the epic task of training none other than the great-grandson of the Legendary Van Helsing! The movie features both vampires and werewolves, so get ready for bloodshed! Night Carnage promises to be a treat for genre fans who miss the days when movies were mean, messy, and too loud to ignore. With

If you thought your childhood household was tense, wait until you meet Tim. Move over, Terry O’Quinn—there’s a new paternal nightmare in town. Originally produced in 2020, the serial-killer thriller The Step Daddy has spent a few years in the basement, but it’s finally being released. Lionsgate is set to release the film on Digital platforms this month. Father Doesn’t Know Best On the surface, Tim is your standard-issue, mild-mannered family man. He’s thoughtful, he’s charming, and he’s probably great at grilling. But Tim has a hobby that isn’t listed on his LinkedIn: an insatiable urge to murder his entire family. The fuse is lit when Tim suddenly trades the “World’s Greatest Dad” mug for a kitchen knife, stabbing his wife and stepson and kicking off a gruesome spree.

The New 'Leviticus' Trailer is Here to Remind You to Trust No One

The New ‘Leviticus’ Trailer is Here to Remind You to Trust No One

If you thought your teenage dating life was a horror show, Leviticus is here to make your awkward prom photos look like a walk in the park. After causing a massive stir at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival—and walking away with a prestigious distribution deal from NEON—this queer supernatural thriller is officially set to set theaters ablaze this summer. Forget the slow-burn dread of the Arctic; this is a visceral, “mercilessly upsetting” descent into religious fanaticism in backcountry Australia. Double the Trouble Set in an isolated Australian town where the local pastime seems to be “repressive religious zealotry,” the film follows two star-crossed teens, Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen). When their budding romance is discovered, a botched attempt at conversion therapy (masquerading as a ritual) accidentally unleashes a demonic entity. The twist? This isn’t your average jump-scare monster. The entity takes the form of the person you desire most. Ryan’s chilling warning to Naim—“If you see anything that

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

Faces of Death (2026) Slashes its Way into Theaters

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

An Interview with Writer-Director Natasha Kermani About Her New Film The Dreadful

When it comes to female writers and directors, there just aren’t enough of them. It’s an important point of view and understanding. But there is one we need to talk about, Natasha Kermani. Kermani is a powerful voice. She’s behind the new horror thriller The Dreadful. Spoiler: It’s far from dreadful. Set deep in the heart of medieval England, the story follows Anne (Sophie Turner) and her mother-in-law, Morwen (Marcia Gay Harden). The two live a harsh, isolated life on the fringes of society, just trying to get by. Everything changes when a man from Anne’s past (Kit Harington) returns from the war. His arrival triggers a sinister curse that manifests through a mysterious, terrifying knight. Suddenly, their struggle for survival isn’t just about hunger and cold—it’s about a force that threatens to tear their world apart. The moment I saw the first poster and realized the film sees the reunion of Turner and Harrington, I was in. I am

All Aboard the Soul-Train: “Speed Demon” Brings High-Octane Exorcisms to the Tracks

Forget “Snakes on a Plane”—we’re upgrading to “Demons on a Locomotive.” If you thought Amtrak delays were hell, wait until you see what’s waiting in the dining car of Speed Demon, hitting theaters and digital platforms on May 31, 2026. The film stars Katie Cassidy (Arrow) and the legendary William H. Macy in a supernatural thriller that gives “express service” a whole new meaning. Tickets, Please (And a Priest) When Father Novak and Sister Lu board a standard transport from Montreal to NYC, they were probably just hoping for some legroom and a decent snack cart. Instead, they get Asmodeus, a high-ranking demon with a penchant for possession and a total disregard for the conductor’s schedule. As the train transforms into a runaway bullet of pure evil, the duo must battle a carriage full of possessed passengers. But there’s a twist: with Father Novak sidelined, Sister Lu is forced to confront her crumbling faith and attempt the unthinkable—the first-ever exorcism

Director Robert Hollocks Talks ‘The Observance,’ Cults, and Love for the Genre in Our Interview

Once in a while, I come across an indie film that truly impresses me, and I find myself thinking about it and its story long after the credits roll. The cult horror thriller The Observance did just that. Featuring a fresh story, one I haven’t seen before (Thank God), the film follows Madison (Kate Dailey). After a tragic accident, Madison is left in a coma. When she does come back, years will have passed, and her family will have changed more than she could ever have guessed. During her coma, her husband and daughter have been sucked into a violent cult. But Madison isn’t giving up without a fight. As for the film’s cast, Daily is joined by legend Ted Raimi, Alec James, Anna Borchert, Bronson Taylor, Darby Cappillino, Jonathan E. Simmons, and more. The film’s director and co-writer, Rob Hollocks, takes us on a dark journey. I was so impressed by The Observance that I knew I had to

Beast of War Director Kiah Roache-Turner Talks Sharks, Gore, and More in Our Interview

One movie you should add to your watch list is the horror/thriller Beast of War. It throws us into the chaos of World War II. The film follows a warship carrying Australian soldiers as they train for their mission. But a sudden, brutal attack by Japanese fighter planes leaves the ship sinking and a handful of survivors stranded on a makeshift raft, floating in a sea of steel, fire, and blood. Their battle with the enemy is just beginning, but a far deadlier one is about to start. Drawn by the smell of blood in the water, an enormous great white shark begins to hunt them, turning their desperate attempt at survival into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. I jumped at the chance to talk with Beast of War‘s writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner, the same director behind the movies Sting and Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, which I saw when they were released. Turner’s enthusiasm for the film is
