Rating: R Stars: Gianna Jun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rock, Go Soo, Kim Jong-tae Writers: Yeon Sang-ho & Choi Gyu-seok Director: Yeon Sang-ho Distributor: Well Go USA Entertainment Release Date: August 28, 2026 The Korean horror film COLONY (GUNCHE) is technically not a zombie movie, in the way that the 28 DAYS/YEARS movies aren’t – the virus doesn’t actually kill the victims. However, in most movies of this type, how it all started is either unknown or irrelevant. In COLONY, it’s the plot engine. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho (of TRAIN TO BUSAN fame) and written by Yeon […]Read On »

Wagner Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: August 25, 2026 (digital, VOD) Nobody should be robbing anybody’s house. That said, the absolute worst time to attempt burglary is when the homeowner is not only there, but in the midst of turning into a zombie. This is the premise of TURNING POINT, a generally decent if uneven horror movie, written and directed by Joshua D. Wagner.It begins with black-and-white images of cells dividing […]Read On »

INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER | ©2026 Sony

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Amelia Eve, Brandon Perea, Lin Shaye, Island Austin, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Sam Spruell, Laura Gordon, Charli Penton Writer: Jacob Chase, story by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Jacob Chase, based on characters created by Leigh Whannell Director: Jacob Chase Distributor: Sony/Screen Gems Release Date: August 21, 2026 The first INSIDIOUS film, released in 2010, directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, was legitimately scary. (This reviewer has vivid memories of her screening companion scrunching twenty pages of press notes into a single sweaty wad.) INSIDIOUS introduced us to Travelers, people who – often unknowingly – could astral-project […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Dawn Ford, Emmanuelle Lussier Martinez, Bill Rowat, Mark Krupa, Jason Cavalier, Steve “Liquid” Hawley Writers: John Petrizzi & Brad Hodson, story by Adam O’Brien Director: Adam O’Brien Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: August 21, 2026 BURY THE DEVIL begins with a quote from THE BOOK OF ATTRITION (invented by the filmmakers), which cites the demon Elim as a being who wears down his adversaries until he can absorb them. Fair enough. We then get a long shot of what looks like an isolated facility, engulfed by flames, and hear a woman screaming. We then get a […]Read On »

IT ENDS movie poster | ©2026 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Mitchell Cole, Akira Jackson, Noah Toth, Phinehas Yoon Writer: Alex Ullom Director: Alex Ullom Distributor: Neon Release Date: August 21, 2026 IT ENDS is a remarkably on-target metaphor. Alas, to say what the metaphor is about constitutes a gigantic spoiler. It’s also not for everyone, but viewers who connect with its rhythms will find it meaningful. Beginning like any number of horror and/or teen comedy films, IT ENDS opens with four friends, just graduated from college, on a late-night jaunt to get a snack. We’re in a Jeep Cherokee with Tyler (Mitchell Cole), Day (Akira Jackson), Fisher […]Read On »

THE END OF OAK STREET movie poster | ©2026 Warner Bros.

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, Christian Convery, Jordan Alexa Davis, P.J. Byrne, Anne Gee Byrd, Emily Kuroda Writer: David Robert Mitchell Director: David Robert Mitchell Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: August 14, 2026 THE END OF OAK STREET is a giant-dinosaurs-in-suburbia movie that isn’t what we might expect from its premise. Granted, the template for this sort of thing has been pretty much set by the JURASSIC PARK franchise, so deviations should be actively encouraged. It’s just that this one feels a little odd. Apart from a Spielbergian opener that sets up the characters, and another […]Read On »
