Back in 2000, the original Scary Movie arrived at exactly the right moment. Horror was enjoying a major resurgence thanks to films like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Blair Witch Project, and the Wayans brothers saw an opportunity to poke fun at the genre. The result was crude, juvenile, often…
The journey from internet creepypasta to major motion picture is not one that many creators manage successfully. Kane Parsons, however, has achieved exactly that. Having first gained attention through his hugely popular Backrooms short films on YouTube, the young filmmaker now makes his feature debut with Backrooms, a psychological horror film that remains faithful to…
If you’ve ever sat in silence at night and convinced yourself that the random creaks in your house mean something is watching you, Undertone is about to make that feeling a whole lot worse. Ian Tuason’s horror film takes a very different approach to scares. Instead of throwing masked killers or gallons of blood at…
A group of wannabe internet explorers go looking for hidden millions inside a haunted hotel and instead find a masterclass in terrible decision making in Do Not Enter.

It has been thirty years since Woodsboro first changed horror forever, and somehow Ghostface is still finding ways to pick up a phone and ruin Sidney Prescott’s day. This time, Neve Campbell returns properly to the centre of the story for the first time in over a decade, and honestly, that alone already puts Scream…
There is a special kind of horror movie temptation that has existed since the dawn of teenagers. You see an ancient object. It looks weird. It looks forbidden. It looks like it should be kept behind glass with a sign that says DO NOT TOUCH in sixteen languages. And what do you do? You touch…
Let’s get this out of the way early. Rachel McAdams is phenomenal in Send Help. Not “good for a horror movie” phenomenal. Not “surprisingly game” phenomenal.
