Primate (2025) 79% 3/5 EDIT “While some of its more dramatic, human elements don’t land, Primate doubles down on its stomach-twisting brutality that ramps up the tension in such a way that it’s easy to forgive its more puzzling choices.” – metro.co.uk Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Possession (1981) 86% 5/5 EDIT “From start to finish, Żuławski blends dreamlike sequences with starkly bleak scenes of marital drama that remain as horrific today as they were 40 years ago.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Itch! (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Itch! excels in its dedication to its central themes and ability to execute them with a quiet confidence that doesn't rely on a big budget.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% 4/5 EDIT “While Perkins' breakout hit Longlegs felt like a culmination of his different styles, Keeper shows it was just the beginning, while cementing his status as a leading force in genre cinema.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Beast of War (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Despite being the latest in a long line of sharksploitation films, Beast Of War successfully turns the subgenre on its head with a full-throttle narrative packed full of blood-pumping moments, giving plenty for audiences to sink their teeth into.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Somnium (2024) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Despite feeling stuck in a spiral, Somnium is a promising feature debut from Stephens, with strong characterisations and a bold approach to its central themes.” – Starburst Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Good Boy is a triumph of a feature debut for Leonberg, an eerie yet devastating effort that perfectly balances each emotional beat and scare with ease.” – metro.co.uk Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Dolly (2025) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Creepy and chaotic, Dolly is utterly demented from start to finish, delivering everything you want from a simple, bloody slasher film – a simple plot, twisty reveals, characters you can root for, a truly terrifying killer, and buckets of gore.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 28, 2025 Full Review A Woman Called Mother (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Horrifying for reasons viewers may not expect, A Woman Called Mother is a devastating exploration of the hidden perils of motherhood that are rarely vocalised.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 25, 2025 Full Review The Book of Sijjin and Illiyyin (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The Book of Sijjin and Illiyyin is a blood-soaked, eerie revenge thriller that offers a unique take on a staple horror subgenre that delves into the evils of the family home in excruciating detail.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Blood Shine (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Blood Shine is the definition of beautiful but deadly. Grandiose settings give way to gratuitous violence, highlighting the religious practice at the very heart of the movie – embracing the light and shunning the dark.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Kombucha (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Packed full of gurgling sound effects, bodily fluids, and ooey, gooey moments, Kombucha offers some of FrightFest 2025's most stomach-churning moments with its practical effects that will certainly put you off the titular fermented beverage for good.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Parasomnia (2025) 3/5 EDIT “While its ultimate reveal becomes somewhat convoluted, Parasomnia is an eerie, nightmarish horror that personifies the paralysing fear that comes with night terrors and injects that into every scene.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Rows (2025) 3/5 EDIT “While its supernatural air and eventual reveal don't quite deliver on the promise, the tense atmosphere suggests it maintains intrigue with its unique take on the cat-and-mouse thriller subgenre.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Above the Knee (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Bøe pushes the limits of what we come to expect from body horror in this razor-sharp, awkward, and thoroughly engrossing shocker that is as thought-provoking as it is gnarly.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Sane Inside Insanity: The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Sane Inside Insanity is an emotional tribute to Frank-N-Furter and co that will have viewers doing the Time Warp again, and again, and again.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Tomb Watcher (2025) 3/5 EDIT “While it never quite seems to reach its full, terrifying climax, Tomb Watcher is a suitably eerie directorial debut with a unique central premise and thoughtful exploration of the complexities of love and relationships.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Self-Help (2025) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Intense, twisty, and thoroughly dark, Self-Help is another hit for Bloomquist that blends his warped sense of humour with disturbing gore, tense confrontations, and a thoughtful exploration of trauma and family.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Portal to Hell (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Portal To Hell demonstrates an expert craft of both genre stylings and comedy, as well as careful worldbuilding and character creation that help to weave an emotional, uplifting narrative that embraces all the flaws of mankind.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review A Serbian Documentary (2025) 5/5 EDIT “An essential watch for film fans, A Serbian Documentary is a thoughtful, detailed, and thoroughly gripping exploration of one of the world's most misunderstood films.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Dooba Dooba (2024) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A devilishly funny, awkward, and downright ghoulish lo-fi horror gem that will bore into your subconscious.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Human (2025) 4/5 EDIT “If you love blood and guts and plenty of them, Human is an enjoyable gory flick from start to finish that perfectly crafts not just its look but its thoroughly gripping plot.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Appofeniacs (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The AI horror subgenre is overdone, but Appofeniacs offers a reboot in how it shows our disconnect during online interactions, how social media can be weaponized, and the immense power we have at our fingertips through our mobile phones. ” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review The Home (2025) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Odd and unsettling yet overall underwhelming, The Home's fascinating characters, intriguing mystery, and brooding atmosphere sadly don't make it over the finish line.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Brilliant, bloody, and blasphemous, Immaculate breathes fresh life into the often stale religious horror genre with a captivating plot and stellar performances wrapped in a hauntingly beautiful package.” – What a Scream Podcast Aug 7, 2025 Full Review
