Some vampire films arrive with capes, castles and enough Gothic furniture to keep an antique dealer in business for years. Michael Almereyda’s Nadja took a rather different route. Released in 1994, this strange, seductive black-and-white reinvention of the Dracula mythology dragged the vampire movie into downtown New York, added the attitude of American independent cinema,…
There are unmade movies that make perfect sense in hindsight. Somebody announced something, development dragged on for years, everyone involved wandered off to other projects and eventually the whole thing quietly disappeared. Then there is George A. Romero’s Resident Evil, a film whose failure to exist still feels faintly ridiculous. Resident Evil was a video…
The doors to the Hall of Killers have opened again, and this time you can forget the hockey masks, chainsaws and enormous men inexplicably capable of catching sprinting teenagers while walking at a leisurely pace. Our latest inductee is eight years old, beautifully dressed, exceptionally polite and would probably make a wonderful first impression on…
If there is one thing horror cinema has repeatedly taught us, it’s that nature doesn’t need much encouragement to start killing us. Sharks, spiders, crocodiles, birds and practically every other creature capable of biting, stinging or swallowing a human being have enjoyed their moment in the genre. Now it’s apparently the wasps’ turn, with production…
If the words “eccentric poodle breeder” don’t immediately sound like the foundations of a particularly nasty horror film, Breeder appears determined to change that. The upcoming psychological horror from writer-director Alex Goyette has received an R rating ahead of its October theatrical release, and the official reasons suggest audiences should prepare for something considerably more…
Tim Curry, the legendary British actor whose extraordinary career gave us Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Pennywise the Dancing Clown, Darkness, Wadsworth, Long John Silver and perhaps the most suspicious hotel concierge in movie history, has died at the age of 80. Curry died on Tuesday, 25 August 2026, at his home in Los Angeles. His death has…
88 Films has revealed its November 2026 line-up, and there is plenty here for cult movie collectors. The label has three new 4K Ultra HD releases on the way, led by the 1980s favourites Night of the Comet and Masters of the Universe, alongside a UHD upgrade for Gamer. Jean-Claude Van Damme also joins the…
Prime Video has found the man who will step inside one of cinema’s most recognisable suits of armour, with Dan Stevens officially cast as Alex Murphy/RoboCop in Amazon MGM Studios‘ forthcoming television revival of RoboCop. The new series will consist of eight episodes, bringing the character back to live action more than a decade after…
There are few childhood activities better suited to becoming a horror movie than a sleepover. Everyone is awake long after they should be, somebody inevitably decides to tell a frightening story, every unexplained noise suddenly sounds like an intruder and, at some point around three in the morning, the entire house begins to feel completely…
Some horror villains announce themselves with an instantly recognisable mask. Others have a trademark weapon, a memorable catchphrase or enough sequels to require their own shelf in HMV. Andrew and Morris Garth have none of those things. What they do have is an enormous Gothic mansion, a network of underground tunnels, a spectacularly dysfunctional family…
