Sam Raimi, the man who made the word “groovy” synonymous with chainsaws, is back behind the camera for his first feature as director since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. His new horror thriller Send Help is set to crash into cinemas on January 30, 2026, and fans are about to get their first…
It was perhaps inevitable. After Barbie conquered the world, Mattel looked across its toy shelf and thought, “Which one of these plastic relics can we turn into a cinematic universe next?” While most of us expected Uno: The Movie to finally happen (and yes, that is real), Mattel has gone in an altogether stranger direction….
The Hall of Killers has welcomed all manner of maniacs over the years, from demon children to dream invaders, but few have managed to make audiences feel both terrified and deeply uncomfortable quite like Donny Kohler, the star of the notorious 1979 shocker Don’t Go in the House. Now, decades after he first brought his…
Has it really been ten years since It Follows shuffled its way into cinemas and directly into our collective nightmares? It seems impossible that a decade has passed since David Robert Mitchell unleashed one of the strangest, most hypnotic and anxiety-inducing horror films of the 2010s. It was the little indie movie that could, a…
Some killers creep out of the shadows in silence. Others announce their arrival with a knife, a grin and enough hairspray to survive the apocalypse.

In a move that can only be described as gloriously overconfident, Warner Bros has decided not to wait for Mortal Kombat II to hit cinemas before ordering the next round of carnage. During New York Comic Con, writer Jeremy Slater, best known for The Exorcist and Moon Knight, announced that he has already been hired…
There are haunted house movies… and then there’s Poltergeist. The film that made an entire generation terrified of static on the TV, creepy trees outside the bedroom window, and clowns that move when you’re not looking. Released in 1982 and somehow branded PG (seriously, what was going on with the ratings board back then?), Poltergeist…
Some villains stab, some slash, and some, like Alien’s Ash, quietly ruin your day while quoting science. The slippery, milk-blooded menace has finally found his rightful place in the Premier Class of the Hall of Killers, rubbing cybernetic elbows with the likes of Art the Clown, Witchfinder General, and Damien Thorn. Considering that Ash nearly…
Before Good Boy taught us how to feel genuine dread through the eyes of a loyal dog, Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes Part II tried something so strange that it deserves to be preserved in a museum of cinematic oddities.
