And like Forgive Me Father, the follow-up to 2019’s Lovecraft’s Untold Stories will launch in Early
Horror musicals are such a strange concept that, even as a huge fan, I still find it hard to believe that they exist in the first place. From Little Shop of Horrors to Repo! The Genetic Opera, audiences are surprisingly okay with singing along to tongue-in-cheek violence and creepy characters. Of course, not all horror
Structured like a play and filmed in inky black and white, actor Mark O’Brien’s feature directorial debut The Righteous is a dialogue-driven examination of grief, responsibility and penance. The film follows Frederic Mason (Henry Czerny), a former priest who left the brotherhood to marry Ethel (Mimi Kuzyk) and raise a little girl. Ethel is devout

The trio – composed of John Adams, Toby Poser and their daughter Zelda Adams – write and direct all of their films collaboratively. They also act as editor, cinematographer, DP, costume designer, music composer, and

The Toronto International Film Festival hype has hit overdrive now that the Midnight Madness titles have been announced. One of the coolest films set to make its North American Premiere is After Blue (Dirty Paradise), a nightmarish sci-fi horror fantasy from French filmmaker Bertrand Mandico. Variety reports today that Altered Innocence has picked up North American rights to the
A world where the night never ends… Just four years after The Crow, filmmaker Alex Proyas returned with neo-noir science fiction movie Dark City, ushering us into a nightmarish world no one seems to wake up from. All these years later, Proyas returns to that rich, visionary universe with the short film Mask of the
Actress Hannah Fierman, who memorably played Lily in the “Amateur Night” segment of our horror anthology V/H/S, is next making her feature directing debut with a horror movie. It’s titled The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom, described as a psychological horror film with a cast including Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt, Wrong Turn), and Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp,
In addition to the recently released Escape Room 2, Orphan star Isabelle Fuhrman appears in the period horror movie The Last Thing Mary Saw, set in the year 1843.

Done well, mowing down hordes of undead with friends has a good shot at replicating a high many have been chasing since Left 4 Dead 2. Still, to actually get something even remotely close to that magical concoction has proven to be elusive. In a way, the Back 4 Blood Open Beta (read our previous
“We need to talk about Gordon,” as Phil (David Caruso) tells Mike (Stephen Gevedon) not long before all hell breaks loose in Session 9. But before we do, I should mention that this will not be a spoiler-free review but a deeper look into this unnerving cult film. I wouldn’t normally issue a spoiler alert
If you’re a fan of Harlan Ellison’s classic point-and-click horror adventure title I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream, then Limited Run Games has something for you later today. The thing is, you’ll have to be quick about it. Announced yesterday via Twitter, Limited Run Games is offering Collector’s Editions of Cyberdreams’ I Have
The fictional town of Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine, gets mentioned frequently in author Stephen King‘s works. Most famously, it’s the setting for his vampire novel ‘Salem’s Lot and, to a lesser extent, a stand-alone prequel short story “Jerusalem’s Lot.” The latter channeled Bram Stoker’s The Lair of the White Worm, with an 1850’s tale of terror told in the
With The Medium arriving next month for PlayStation 5 users, and the fact that the game will be taking advantage of the PS5’s DualSense, Bloober Team thought it best to drop a trailer explaining just what users can expect from the enhancement. Over on PlayStation Blog, Bloober Team producer Szymon Erdmanski explains that The Medium
A new Richard Bates Jr project is always a cause for celebration because it’s guaranteed to a) make you squirm or b) make you laugh (often despite yourself). With King Knight, the writer/director, known for his caustic comedies and macabre horrors, delivers a bemusing property that broadly satirizes the New Age self-improvement movement, albeit with
Part classic 80s action film, part social satire (that sadly has become reality with each passing year), the RoboCop franchise has done capitalism right from toys, TV shows, comic books, cartoons, and of course, video games. And as is the norm, the video game adaptations run the gamut in quality, much like the later film
