Rating: R Stars: Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Ethan Hawke, Jeremy Davies, Demián Bichir, Miguel Mora, Arianna Rivas, Maev Beaty, Graham Abbey Writers: Scott Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill, based on the short story by Joe Hill Director: Scott Derrickson Distributor: Universal Release Date: October 17, 2025 BLACK PHONE 2, the sequel to 2021’s THE BLACK PHONE, could informally be called A NIGHTMARE ON BLACK PHONE STREET. We spend most of BLACK PHONE 2 at Camp Alpine Lake rather than in suburbia (where the first film took place), but there’s still the scenario of a murderer of kids, now dead himself, […]Read On »

The reason bad comedies are painful is because they are not funny or frightening. THE WEEDHACKER MASSACRE is a comedy about a bad horror movie remake, based on an actual (within the […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jon Gries, Aleksandra Cwen, Johannes Grenzfurthner, Roland Gratzner, Jasmin Hagendorfer, Ronald von der Sternen, Peter Pios Writers: Johannes Grenzfurthner and Ben Roberts Director: Johannes Grenzfurthner Distributor: Film Movement Release Date: October 10, 2025 SOLVENT opens with an onscreen quote from Norman Maclean, which begins, “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it …” There is a lot of water, along with other fluids, in SOLVENT. Directed by Johannes Grenzfurthner, who wrote the script with Ben Roberts, SOLVENT is something of an ethical head-scratcher. It denounces the horrors of the Holocaust in no […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Alan Calton, Dominic Vulliamy, Michelangelo Fortuzzi, Lara Lemon, Sandrine Salyères, Lily Catalifo, Corrinne Wicks Writer: Samuel Clemens Director: Samuel Clemens Distributor: Vertigo Releasing Release Date: October 6, 2025 (U.K.), October 7, 2025 (U.S.) THE DROWNED is set almost entirely (except for flashbacks) on and in the waters of a small island off the English coast. Eric (Alan Calton) arrives here with a stolen painting in a watertight tube. He warily explores the designated hideout – a massive isolate house on the beach – gun drawn, reacting to strange sounds. He’s looking for Denice (Corrinne Wicks), but […]Read On »

GOOD BOY movie poster | ©2025 IFC/Shudder

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Indy, Shane Jensen, Arielle Friedman, Larry Fessenden, Stuart Rudin Writers: Alex Cannon & Ben Leonberg Director: Ben Leonberg Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: October 3, 2025 (U.S.), October 10, 2025 (U.K.) Here’s a tip for horror filmmakers: if you want the audience to spend every single second worried about your protagonist, make that character a dog. In the case of GOOD BOY, this is Indy, a medium-sized mixed breed with great charisma and arguably the most soulful eyes in cinema. In reality, Indy is the canine companion of director Ben Leonberg, who wrote the screenplay with Alex Cannon. […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Elisabeth Moss, Kate Hudson, Arian Moayed, Este Haim, Elizabeth Berkley, Kaia Gerber, Peter MacNicol, Randall Park, Ziwe, Brandon Keener Writer: Jack Stanley Director: Max Minghella Distributor: Republic Pictures/Paramount Release Date: October 3, 2025 THE SUBSTANCE was hardly the first cautionary horror tale about the perils of attempted self-improvement in Hollywood, but it may be what springs to mind while watching SHELL. SHELL is a much more conventional horror thriller than THE SUBSTANCE, which has its pros and cons. It doesn’t keep us on our toes too much about where it’s going and it’s not nearly as visually […]Read On »

HELL HOUSE LLC.: LINEAGE movie poster | ©2025 Shudder/Terror Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Elizabeth Vermilyea, Sierra Sawka, Mike Sutton, Joe Bandelli, Nicholas Stoesser, Emily Fan, Victoria Andrunik, Kayla Berejikian Writer: Stephen Cognetti Director: Stephen Cognetti Distributor: Shudder/Terror Films Release Date: October 3, 2025 (Shudder) There is something impressive about writer/director Stephen Cognetti’s ability to inject just enough changes into a formula to keep things lively, while maintaining the elements that make a franchise hang together. However, he presses his luck with HELL HOUSE LLC: LINEAGE, as it refers a little overmuch to its predecessors, and ends on a cliffhanger. HELL HOUSE LLC: LINEAGE is the fifth film Cognetti has […]Read On »

Pat Benatar is singing “Heartbreaker” on MTV, and all of suburbia has VCRs on their cathode ray tube TVs. Babysitter Emily (Summer H. Howell) is reassuring her two young charges, Mark (Huxley Fisher) and Marina (Isla Spencer). Mark is afraid of the “Skinny Eater” that […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Austin Pulliam Writers: Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie and Justin Tipping Director: Justin Tipping Distributor: Universal Release Date: September 19, 2025 The good news about HIM is that it is not what it first appears to be. Viewers who have seen the ad campaign or even watch the first section of the movie may understandably think this is one of those horror films where an older person uses supernatural means to install their soul into the body of an unsuspecting younger person. This does not turn out to be […]Read On »
