Blumhouse’s Happy Death Day was one of the biggest pleasant surprises of 2017. It was a funny, inventive and sharp horror about a college student who finds herself stuck in a Groundhog Day-esque time loop as she’s murdered over and over again and has to find out who’s killing her before her death finally sticks.
Nicolas Pesce’s new take on The Grudge is gearing up for production and four new names have been added to the already mightily impressive cast. Deadline reports that Betty Gilpin (Glow, American Gods), Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook, The Voices), Frankie Faison (The Wire, The Silence Of The Lambs) and William Sadler (Bill & Ted’s
There’s some very exciting news for fans of Lucky McKee’s blistering, savage 2011 horror The Woman, as star Pollyanna McIntosh has directed a new film that will continue the story of her wild character. THR reports that McIntosh has just wrapped production on Darlin’, which picks up the story several years after the story told
Hot on the hellish heels of their classy adaptation of Tigon’s 1971 picture The Blood on Satan’s Claw, Bafflegab Productions now bring us their version of Clive Barker’s 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, famously adapted on film in 1987 as Hellraiser. This pacy, punchy adaptation starts with a lovely, pounding, 80s-feeling theme, before launching straight
Studios are moving ahead with any Stephen King property they can get their hands on following the titanic success of Warner Bros’ IT, and an under-appreciated 1979 novel is the latest to be picked up. THR reports that James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Independence Day: Resurgence, White House Down) has written an adaptation of King’s The Long
John Krasinksi’s low-budget horror A Quiet Place has been one of the biggest success stories of the year so far. The acclaimed horror has currently pulled in $213 million worldwide from a $17 million budget, and even clawed its way back to number 1 at the US box office last weekend (it’s still there this
David Gordon Green and Danny McBride’s take on Halloween is six months away but we’ve got our first look at Michael Myers courtesy of the film’s first poster. The new take, which comes from Blumhouse, will be a return to the more grounded feel of the first and will reportedly be ignoring pretty much everything
There’s a new trailer for the highly anticipated horror Hereditary, which is already getting “Best horror movie of the year” buzz, and it’s another deeply creepy promo. Give it a look… Hereditary is the feature debut of writer-director Ari Aster and it stars Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, and Milly Shapiro. “The Graham family
There’s a fine line between stupid and clever, and it’s a line that Blumhouse horror Truth Or Dare finds itself dancing all over during the course of its 100-minute running time. It’s so easy to sneer at the apparent barrel-scraping of the title but there’s a wickedly mean-spirited potential to the idea of forcing a
“Do you want to hear a story? Do you want me to tell you about the Wildling?” Fritz Böhm’s feature debut Wildling opens with a story of monsters and bestiality told by a Daddy (Brad Dourif) to a little girl (Arlo Mertz) at bedtime. Yet the place where Anna hears this story – a wooden
The first trailer for The First Purge has arrived, promising an origin story of sorts for the one night a year when all crime is legal. It’s the fourth Purge movie in the series and the first not to be directed by James DeMonaco, although he’s still on screenplay duties while Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands)
There’s something special about a really good ghost story. The horror genre covers an incredible range of subjects and a much broader territory than many give it credit for, but ghost stories gets under your skin like nothing else. They’re the ones that stay with you long after you leave the cinema or close the
“If you’d have told me two years ago that I’d be directing a horror movie, I would have told you that’s insane because I can’t watch horror movies,” laughs John Krasinski. But here we are, and the star of The Office and Jack Ryan has delivered a very scary and incredibly tense horror film with
There’s been a lot of discussion about what makes a film “horror” recently, but you won’t come away from A Quiet Place wanting to place it in any other genre. The third directorial effort from The Office star John Krasinski (and his first genre movie) is a nerve-wracking experience that has a brilliantly simple pitch:
We’re all scared of creepy clowns (well, most of us, anyway), and Damien Leone’s upcoming gory horror Terrifier is coming for your nightmares with its not-very-jolly murderous villain Art The Clown. Here’s an exclusive clip… “Terrifier is the story of the maniacal Art the Clown, who terrorizes three young women on Halloween, butchering everyone
The annual Glasgow Film Festival is a haven of genre, not only harbouring FrightFest in GFT1 for two and a half days of the festival’s duration, but also weaving many freaky frights and SF sights into the fabric of its main programme. This comes as no surprise – for genre, combining familiar narrative types with
Horror fans are used to killer kid movies. We know the drill. There’s a pasty-faced child, possibly wearing an anorak, almost certainly singing some kind of nursery rhyme, whose angelic demeanour is masking the soul of a psychopath. But while it’s pretty common to see parents wondering what on earth is going on with their
Thursday 1 March Last year it was Storm Doris that frustrated non-Glaswegian genre fans’ attempts to make their annual pilgrimage to the Glasgow FrightFest. This year the Curse continues with the UK-wide (and very much Glasgow-centred) cold snap which has brought rail, road and air transport to a grinding halt, put Glasgow in effective lockdown,
Ted Geoghegan’s debut feature We Are Still Here had its fair share of nasty shocks but it was also something of a treat for horror fans: an affectionate retro tribute with a healthy dose of melodrama starring fan favourites like Barbara Crampton and Larry Fessenden. His second film, the brutal chase thriller Mohawk, doesn’t want
Supernatural horror Pyewacket hits Glasgow FrightFest this weekend ahead of its UK release in April, and we have an exclusive artwork reveal for you!

Like a thumb pressed down viciously on an eye until it bursts, this nail bitingly tense psychological horror directed by Steven Soderbergh and shot entirely on an iPhone doesn’t let up until its final throes. Even then it is horrifying. A sinuous script written by Jonathan Bernstein and James Greer follows a young woman named
