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.

She plays Linda Liddle, an overlooked office worker whose transformation from corporate wallpaper to island survival nightmare is so unhinged it feels like someone fed…
After more than two decades, Christophe Gans has returned to the cursed town for Return to Silent Hill. Based on the beloved PlayStation 2 video game Silent Hill 2, his new film adaptation promised fans a moody, faithful psychological horror that would delve into grief, trauma, and the inner workings of a damaged mind.

Ralph Fiennes sings Duran Duran. An infected man the size of a light aircraft cradles him like a weighted blanket. Jack O’Connell runs a Jimmy Savile-inspired death cult.

If Osgood Perkins had his own menu, the main dish would be “slow-cooked dread served cold.” With Keeper, the director adds another course to his horror repertoire – one that is quiet, off-kilter, and baked through with creeping tension and a suspicious dessert. Tatiana Maslany stars as Liz, a painter who heads off to the…
It has been a few years now since we returned to the world of the Yautja with Prey, a film so well received that some fans even declared it better than the 1987 original. They were wrong of course, but it was still pretty good. When director Dan Trachtenberg was announced to return for more…
