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 »

SHELL movie poster } ©2025 Paramount PIctures / Republic Pictures

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 »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jessica Clement, Ryan Robbins, Summer H. Howell, Keegan Connor Tracy, Matty Finochio, Ben Cockell, Bryn Samuel, Savannah Miller, Sofie Kane, Max Christensen, Huxley Fisher, Isla Spencer Writers: Ryan Christensen & Brandon Christensen Director: Brandon Christensen Distributor: Shudder Release Date: September 19, 2025 (Shudder) In NIGHT OF THE REAPER, it’s the ‘80s. 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 »

Movie Review: HIM

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 »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rebekah Kennedy, Ranen Navat, Emily Goss, Susan Gayle Watts, AJ Bowen, Sean O’Bryan, Sean Whalen, Paxton Carville Writers: Pierre Tsigaridis & Maxime Rancon Director: Pierre Tsigaridis Distributor: Saban Films Release Date: September 12, 2025 TRAUMATIKA is a movie about demonic possession that arguably has too much going on for its own good. We get four time periods, or five, if we count returning to one of them. TRAUMATIKA starts in 1910 Egypt, where a distraught man roams the sand dunes with a small statue of Volpaazu, “creator of evil,” which he buries in the sand. The […]Read On »

Hayes Director: Michael Chaves Distributor: Warner Bros./New Line Release Date: September 5, 2025 THE CONJURING: LAST RITES is probably (never say never when there’s still money to be made) the final movie in THE CONJURING franchise. This is no small thing, since […]Read On »

McLenachan, Rachel Stone, Marilyn Desade/Madcox, Dave Andexler, Laszlo Szijarto, Joannie Fournier, Anik Rompre Writer: Joe Hollow Director: Joe Hollow Distributor: Primal Motion Pictures Release Date: July 22, 2025 (digital, VOD) While there were others, filmmaker Clive Barker’s 1987 HELLRAISER popularized the concept of pairing otherworldly demonic entities with more human S&M/B&D imagery and activities. A recent entry in the sincerest form of HELLRAISER flattery is FLESH OF THE UNFORGIVEN, which features an entity known as the Death Dealer. Onscreen and in voiceover, we are informed that […]Read On »
