Worldbreaker (2025) 55% 2.5/5 EDIT “Like its lead character, a girl on the brink of battle, it’s a film trapped between inaction and the final charge, and we’re trapped right along with it.” – Bloody Disgusting Jan 28, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 9/10 EDIT “It's visually stunning, often genuinely frightening, and wonderfully weird while never letting go of the heart that planted "28 Years Later" so deep in our imaginations. ” – Looper.com Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Christine (1983) 72% EDIT “The car was always a metaphorical monster in Arnie's young life, but in Carpenter's hands she explodes into a beast all her own, and it's thrilling to watch.” – Syfy Wire Dec 16, 2025 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “This is an uncomfortable film, but it’s also one of the most finely executed pieces of social horror of the past half-decade, and one of 2025’s essential watches. ” – Dread Central Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Chainsaws Were Singing (2024) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Chainsaws Were Singing feels destined to be one of those movies you watch with friends at midnight, whether on the couch or in a packed movie house. It’s a riotous ball of a movie, and fans of weird horror and even weirder musicals should not miss it.” – Dread Central Nov 29, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Wake Up Dead Man is another triumphant whodunit from Rian Johnson, a beautiful melding of hefty themes and dynamic cinematic storytelling in a pulse-pounding thriller package.” – Dread Central Nov 25, 2025 Full Review The Carpenter's Son (2025) 31% 3/5 EDIT “The Carpenter’s Son is a mess, but it’s an ambitious mess, and the scarier side of the story, while not all that scary, has something for Christian mythology nerds and fans of demonic horror alike.” – Dread Central Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Beldham (2024) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “This is quietly one of the creepiest indie horror releases this year, and I hope it finds a wide audience who can get lost in its well-orchestrated dread.” – Dread Central Nov 17, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “In Edgar Wright’s hands, The Running Man works more often than it doesn’t, and despite tripping up a time or two, when it’s at its best, it’s one of the most exciting blockbuster experiences of the year. ” – Dread Central Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “With Frankenstein, Del Toro has delivered his most thoughtful meditation on these ideas yet, wrapped it all in a lavish production, and bared his very soul for us to see. It's a cinematic triumph.” – Pop Heist Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% B EDIT “Nuremberg works best when it’s loud, urgent, and almost hysterically earnest in its messaging, not because it’s a particularly new message, but because it once again feels like something someone must scream from the rooftops.” – AV Club Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “This is the Predator theatrical experience we’ve been waiting for.” – Dread Central Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% EDIT “This is not the Dracula of the bright lights and sprawling parlors of London. Instead we get something a bit more infused with realism, which makes Dracula himself stand out all the more. It strikes a remarkable tonal balance.” – Syfy Wire Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Hellcat (2025) 89% EDIT “ It's one of the most pleasant genre movie surprises of 2025 for me so far, and it deserves a big audience.” – Pop Heist Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “Bone Lake is a wonderfully contained, ornate little thriller, and a blast to watch.” – Cinapse Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Whistle (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “Featuring incredible kill sequences and strong performances, Corin Hardy’s ‘Whistle’ is a deeply effective piece of teen-centric horror storytelling.” – Dread Central Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Silver Screamers (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Silver Screamers is a film bursting with joy, and every horror fan and movie lover needs to see it as soon as possible.” – Dread Central Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Restoration at Grayson Manor (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The Restoration at Grayson Manor emerges from this festival season as a raucous, beautifully paced, horror-comedy romp” – Dread Central Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Deathstalker (2025) 86% B EDIT “With Deathstalker, Kostanski attempts to bring his loose, gleeful style to the sword and sorcery genre, and mostly succeeds, giving us another midnight movie essential.” – AV Club Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “It takes a while to get there, and it’s not always able to sustain the constant tension it aims for, but if you want a wild ride with a killer chimp, it’s got the goods.” – Dread Central Sep 24, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% 1/5 EDIT “If the first film was a chore because it was a predictable remake, the second is a chore because it has direction, but no real movement. ” – Dread Central Sep 24, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% EDIT “V/H/S/Halloween is ... a thrilling, chilling horror rollercoaster that never slows down and leaves you giddy with the atmosphere of it all. I had a blast, and I'm betting you will too. ” – Pop Heist Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “Black Phone 2 is why we go to the movies in October. It's the kind of horror made for raucous opening nights with lots of popcorn and a crowd ready to scream, so see it that way if you can.” – Pop Heist Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Night of the Living Dead (1990) 57% EDIT “This is a horror remake well worth seeing, not just because it manages to make you squirm, but because it exists as a fascinating piece in conversation with its predecessor.” – Syfy Wire Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Baltimorons (2025) 95% B+ EDIT “With two great performances and a pervading sense of warmth, that’s enough to make The Baltimorons one of the year’s best comedies, and in its own way, a new Christmas classic.” – AV Club Sep 2, 2025 Full Review
