THE MORTUARY ASSISTANT, based on the video game of the same name, takes advantage of the inherently atmospheric concept and begins with a promising sense of menace.

Cohen & Alan Freedland, based on characters created by Bryan Bertino Director: Renny Harlin Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: February 6, 2026 Back in 2008, writer/director Bryan Bertino brought forth THE STRANGERS, a non-supernatural slasher that derived much of its creepiness from its uncomfortable plausibility. A couple spending the night in a cabin is terrorized by three masked intruders, who have no obvious motive but display clear expertise in what they’re doing. It’s […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, Percy Hynes White, Michelle Fairley, Nick Frost, Stephen Kalyn Writer: Owen Egerton Director: Corin Hardy Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: February 6, 2026 WHISTLE embodies the forms of both cursed-object and high school horror with such fidelity that it seems to be following an internal mandate. Written by Owen Egerton and directed by Corin Hardy, the movie even name-checks horror directors Wes Craven, William Friedkin (character surnames), Mark Pellington (the high school the characters attend), and Andy Muschietti. Sharp-eyed viewers will no doubt find more. In the best […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Luke Evans, Billie Boullet, Milla Jovovich, Mila Harris, Kevin Glynn, Meadow Williams Writer: Joshua Rollins Director: Brad Anderson Distributor: Aura Entertainment Release Date: January 30, 2026 In the film WORLDBREAKER, the title term refers generally to anything that causes a species (going back to the dinosaurs) or civilization to collapse. As we’re told in voiceover, the world has broken many times and the breakers are always different. Images of bulletin boards with news articles on evolution and climate devastation cut to a young teen, Willa (Billie Boullet), standing by a small boat on a rocky shore, drawing […]Read On »

Now they’ve collaborated to strong effect on all three fronts with their daughter Zelda Adams to bring forth MOTHER OF FLIES. MOTHER OF FLIES begins with a woman talking calmly in voiceover about death. Onscreen, we see a naked, blood-covered woman communing with gory, skinned human corpses. […]Read On »

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE movie poster | ©2026 Sony Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Chi-Louis Parry, Erin Kellyman, Louis Ashbourne Serkis, Emma Laird Writer: Alex Garland Director: Nia DaCosta Distributor: Sony/Columbia Release Date: January 16, 2026 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE picks up almost immediately after the end of last year’s 28 YEARS LATER. While it’s not absolutely necessary – the essentials become clear soon enough – it’s probably handy to be acquainted with the earlier film, which introduced most of BONE TEMPLE’s protagonists. Both movies are follow-ups to 2003’s 28 DAYS LATER and its 2007 sequel 28 WEEKS LATER. Alex Garland, who wrote […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Italia Ricci, Scott Mechlowicz, Zachary Golinger, Terence Rosemore, Craig Kolkebeck, Ron Fallica, Jay DeVon Johnson, Fleming Moore, Justin Matthew Smith Writer: Will Canon Director: Will Canon Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: January 16, 2026 THE CONFESSION turns out to be a riff on a Robert Browning book, but it handles the elements so loosely that characters have to keep referring to it for us to identify similarities. In the town of Elbe, Texas, 120 miles outside Dallas, Pastor Arthur Riley (Craig Kolkebeck) of the Mt. Calvary Church leaves a tape cassette message for his daughter, then […]Read On »

ANACONDA movie poster | ©2025 Sony Pictures

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, Selton Mello, John Billingsley Writers: Tom Gormican & Kevin Etten, based on ANACONDA written by Hans Bauer and Jim Cash & Jack Epps Jr. Director: Tom Gormican Distributor: Sony/Columbia Release Date: December 25, 2025 The reason so many people love bad horror movies is that, when those movies are terrible enough, they can be wondrously hilarious. The problem is, of course, that it’s very hard to parody something that’s already essentially funny. Gilding the lily can kill the plant, as it were. The new ANACONDA takes place […]Read On »

Lucas (Stuart Wolfe-Murray) is painting something in the basement. He looks up, reacts in horror, and something oozes through the door lock. We then cut to Laura (Kim Spearman) and her bedridden mother (Stacey O’Shea), who needs surgery. Laura’s job […]Read On »
