Shudder continues its yearly streak of V/H/S releases with V/H/S/Mixtape. As a follow-up to last October’s V/H/S/Halloween, the horror streaming platform’s ninth installment goes for a new theme in mind. I assumed that the subtitle would dive into music, but that isn’t wholly the case. On the one hand, fans of the genre have films like V/H/S/Halloween, which are announced a
Read MoreDC’s Clayface is a character I’ve loved since childhood. There was something incredibly cool about a villain with shape-shifting abilities like the T-1000 from Terminator 2, plus the ability to manipulate his enemies through acting. Not to mention, Clayface had a truly tragic backstory that made him sympathetic. He was always my favorite from the 1990s animated series. DC didn’t really
Read MoreOnce news broke that A24 and Peacock would collaborate on a Friday the 13th prequel series, titled Crystal Lake, I was instantly excited. This isn’t the first project within Sean S. Cunningham and executive producer Victor Miller‘s franchise in recent years. Currently named “Jason Universe,” the franchise got a taste of Sweet Revenge in August of last year. The 13-minute short
Read MoreI have no idea what the inside of a sperm whale looks like, and I have no intention of finding out. For all I know, the squishy, claustrophobic confines in the 2026 film Whalefall could be a far cry from reality. That’s the benefit of telling a story like this. No living person has experienced it. It’s a situation that has
Read MoreBack in May, Obsession, one of the highest-grossing films of 2026’s summer, released in theaters. It completely burst past expectations thanks to the artful directing and good use of its budget. If I could boast a little, I wasn’t that surprised, because I had been following the director, Curry Barker, for years on Instagram and YouTube with his comedic skits and

The two shows are quite different in terms of their premise and, most importantly, in their quality. While there are snippets of genuine surprise, Below is not a Netflix series you have to run and see. [Warning: some spoilers for the series
Read MoreMike Flanagan gave a two-episode sneak peek at his new take on Stephen King’s Carrie, showcasing the first two episodes to Fantastic Fest audiences. All eight episodes of Carrie will premiere on Prime Video on October 7, 2026. This new vision is one of the first collaborations between Flanagan and Prime Video, and at first glance, it seems like a healthy start. Since
Read MoreBeware Boiúna might be a creature feature, but it is very much a slasher film. Like films such as Friday the 13th or goofy slashers like some of the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels, we know right away who will live or die the minute they start speaking. The difference is the person holding the knife is a snake, and her
Read MoreResident Evil does not follow the video game’s exact plot. This has been a frequent complaint online. While that’s true, none of Paul W. S. Anderson’s movies followed the exact plotline. For the most part, almost none of the movies follow the story, and the only one that came close flopped two years ago. So what is a filmmaker to do? Zach
