28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a powerful course correction for the franchise and, for me, a deeply satisfying sequel. Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, this fourth installment in the 28 Days Later series was shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later (2025), yet it feels remarkably more confident, focused, and alive. Starring Ralph Fiennes, Jack […]
Directed by Johannes Roberts, Primate (2026) is a lean and effective entry in the natural horror subgenre that understands exactly what kind of movie it wants to be. Premiering at Fantastic Fest before its theatrical release in January 9, 2026, the film has received generally positive reactions, and it’s easy to see why. While its premise may sound familiar on […]
After nearly a decade of Demogorgons, bikes, and upside-down nightmares, Stranger Things comes to an end with a finale that is as emotionally loaded as it is imperfect. Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up closes not just the story of Hawkins, but a cultural phenomenon that defined a generation of TV viewers who grew up alongside these characters. After the events […]
We Bury the Dead is not the zombie film you might be expecting and that distinction will likely determine how audiences respond to it.

Part 2 picks up immediately where Part 1 […]
IT: Welcome to Derry proves to be far more than a simple expansion of a beloved horror franchise. Developed by Andy and Barbara Muschietti, Jason Fuchs, and with Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise, this HBO prequel series confidently deepens Stephen King’s universe while standing firmly on its own. Set across multiple timelines, 1908, 1935, and most prominently 1962 the show […]
The Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise has been revived multiple times, but the 2025 remake, written and directed by Mike P. Nelson, marks the most ambitious return to the property in decades. Serving as both the second remake of the 1984 cult classic and the seventh overall entry in the long-running series, the film stars Rohan Campbell as Billy Chapman, […]
Influencers (2025), written and directed by Kurtis David Harder, returns to the unsettling world of social media toxicity, obsession, and identity manipulation introduced in Influencer (2022). Cassandra Naud reprises her role as CW, bringing back the chilling charm and razor-sharp unpredictability that made the first film such an unnerving surprise. This time, she’s joined by Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan […]
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 returns to the neon-lit nightmare of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, but despite bigger animatronics, a larger cast, and deeper lore, this sequel struggles to justify its existence.
