Rating: R Stars: Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, Charli XCX Writers: Isa Mazzei & Daniel Goldhaber, based on the Gorgon series Director: Daniel Goldhaber Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: April 10, 2026 1978’s FACES OF DEATH is an odd mixture of faked mayhem and real expirations. Written and directed by John Alan Schwartz (who wrote under the pseudonym Alan Black and directed as Conan LeCilaire), it purports to be the musings of pathologist Francis B. Gross (Michael Carr) on the transition between life and death. The movie combines staged and actual footage of accidents, executions, newsreels […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Zelda Adams, Toby Poser, John Adams Writers: John Adams & Zelda Adams & Toby Poser Directors: John Adams & Zelda Adams & Toby Poser Distributor: Shudder Release Date: January 23, 2026 (Shudder) John Adams & Toby Poser have already demonstrated with previous joint works that they are accomplished writers/directors/actors. 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 »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Cassandra Naud, Emily Tennant, Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan Whitesell, Veronica Long, Dylan Playfair Writer: Kurtis David Harder Director: Kurtis David Harder Distributor: Shudder Release Date: December 12, 2025 (Shudder) While INFLUENCERS does not pick up immediately after the end of 2023’s INFLUENCER, it’s extremely helpful to watch the earlier film before diving into the sequel. In both, the main characters are Madison White (Emily Tennant) and influencer-hating fraudster CW (Cassandra Naud). INFLUENCERS fills us in to the required degree on their previous individual and shared histories, but INFLUENCER gives us more nuance and a greater […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lea Myren, Ane Dahl Torp, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Flo Fagerli, Isac Calmroth, Malte Gårdener, Ralph Carlsson, Cecilia Forss, Katarzyna Hermann, Adam Lundgren Writer: Emilie Blichfeldt Director: Emilie Blichfeldt Distributor: IFC Films/Shudder Release Date: April 18, 2025 THE UGLY STEPSISTER (DEN STYGGE STESØSTEREN) is an intriguing dark fairytale, seen from the point of view of one of Cinderella’s famed relatives-by-marriage. While there is plenty of body horror, and Shudder is listed as a co-distributor, the movie is not conventionally scary. Directed and written by Emilie Blichfeldt, THE UGLY STEPSISTER is mostly simply dark period comedy/social commentary, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Sari Arambulo, Billy Burke, Molly Brown, Eddie Leavy, Margot Anderson-Song, Taylor Seupel, Angel Theory, Matt Hopkins, Jeffrey Dean Morgan Writer: Matthew John Lawrence Director: Matthew John Lawrence Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: December 27, 2024 (theatrical); March 21, 2025 (Shudder streaming) With apologies to Stephen Graham Jones, who wrote an unrelated novel with this title, I WAS A TEENAGE SLASHER would have been a more informative moniker for BLOODY AXE WOUND. The initial set-up for BLOODY AXE WOUND, which we’ll get to in a bit, suggests that the film is going to head in one direction, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Christian Willis, Dirk Hunter, Charles Cottier, John Noble, Tobie Webster Writers: Steve Boyle & Toby Osborne Director: Steve Boyle Distributor: Shudder Release Date: September 6, 2024 (Shudder) THE DEMON DISORDER treats demonic possession as a hereditary physical disease. It mixes Cronenbergian levels of body horror with family drama that has elements of both tragedy and dark humor. We’re in rural Australia. We start with views of a rundown house behind a chain-link fence. The place is occupied, though, by two adult Reilly brothers. Alcoholic Jake (Dirk Hunter) is the eldest; troubled youngest Phillip (Charles Cottier) is […]Read On »

YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME movie poster | ©2024 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Brendan Rock, Jordan Cowan Writer: Indianna Bell Directors: Josiah Allen and Indianna Bell Distributor: Shudder Release Date: March 22, 2024 (Shudder) YOU’LL NEVER FIND ME is well-made, well-shot, and extremely well-acted. Directors Josiah Allen and Indianna Bell, working from Bell’s script, do a first-rate job of putting a lot of visual variety into a film that essentially takes place in one location: the interior of a large mobile home in an Australian trailer park. Patrick (Brendan Rock) lives alone here. He has an old-fashioned portable radio plugged into the wall. He is examining liquid in a […]Read On »
