If you’ve ever stared at a stack of unlabeled VHS tapes in your parents’ basement and thought, “I bet at least one of these contains something cursed,” V/H/S/99 is basically that thought turned into a movie. It’s loud, grimy, mean-spirited in a fun way, and absolutely allergic to subtlety—in other words, a wildly entertaining return … Read More “V/H/S/99” »

Umma is the kind of movie that watches Hereditary, squints thoughtfully, and says, “Okay, what if we did mother-daughter generational trauma… but took out the dread, the nuance, and most of the budget, and replaced them with bee metaphors and jump scares from behind laundry?” On paper, it sounds promising: Sandra Oh in a supernatural … Read More “Umma” »
Titanic 666 is what happens when The Asylum looks at one of the greatest real-life tragedies in modern history and says, “You know what this needs? Influencers, ghost Wi-Fi, and a satanic great-granddaughter.” This is a movie that dares to ask the bold question: What if we made a supernatural horror sequel to a mockbuster … Read More “Titanic 666” »
They Live in the Grey feels like the answer to, “What if The Sixth Sense grew up, got a CPS job, developed a pill problem, and decided to confront generational trauma instead of just whispering about dead people?” Written and directed by Abel and Burlee Vang, this 2022 Shudder-original supernatural horror is moody, slow-burning, and … Read More “They Live in the Grey” »
When the Bit Goes on Too Long (and Then Keeps Going) Studio 666 is the kind of movie that starts as a goofy inside joke and then somehow becomes a 100-minute feature because no one in the room felt brave enough to say, “Dave, maybe this should stay a skit.” On paper, it sounds like … Read More “Studio 666” »
Skinamarink is less a movie and more a hostage situation between you, your attention span, and an aggressively cursed living room. It’s the cinematic equivalent of waking up at 3 a.m., staring at the dark corner of your childhood house, and then realizing that instead of going back to sleep, you’ve somehow committed to watching … Read More “Skinamarink” »
Summer camp movies usually give you crushes, canoe tips, and maybe a mildly haunted lake. She Came from the Woodslooks at that tradition and says, “Cool. What if the counselors summoned a murderous ghost nurse on their last day and everything went to hell before breakfast?” Directed by Erik Bloomquist and based on his 2017 … Read More “Welcome to Camp Briarbrook, Please Don’t Bleed on the Ritual” »
Satan’s Slaves 2: Communion is the rare sequel that doesn’t just try to top the first film—it widens the lens, deepens the lore, and politely drags an entire apartment block into hell for good measure. Joko Anwar takes the intimate family terror of Satan’s Slaves and scales it up into a full-blown supernatural disaster movie, … Read More “From Rural Haunting to High-Rise Hell” »
Room 203 is the cinematic equivalent of moving into an apartment with “DO NOT RENT, DEFINITELY HAUNTED” energy and then being shocked—shocked—that it’s full of ghosts and bad decisions. On paper, it’s got a decent setup: two best friends, messy pasts, gothic apartment, cursed stained-glass window, Celtic death goddess, and a landlord who’s one monologue … Read More “The Haunting of Exposition House” »
The Price We Pay is the sort of horror movie that takes one look at “crime thriller” and says, “Cute. Now bring in the dungeon, the bone saw, and the giant woman with an electrified bat.” Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and starring Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff, this 2022 splatter-thriller is a lean, nasty, darkly … Read More “Welcome to the Farm-To-Table Organ Program” »
