Hang on to your disbelief, folks! Before the reboot of Sylvester Stallone’s Cliffhanger, starring Lily James and Pierce Brosnan, grapples onto the silver screen, Deadline says a sequel to the upcoming reboot is already in development.

The Cliffhanger reboot sequel is from producers Rocket Science and Thank You Pictures. It is unknown if any cast members from the reboot will contribute to it. Speaking of which, Jaume Collet-Serra directs the Cliffhanger reboot, taking inspiration from the 1993 original, starring Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, and Michael Rooker. The Renny Harlin-directed original climbed to $255 million at the global box office.

In the Cliffhanger reboot, “Brosnan will play seasoned mountaineer Ray Cooper,...

Prime Video has set an October 22, 2025 premiere date for Harlan Coben’s Lazarus, with the streamer confirming all six episodes will be available for bingeing. Additionally, Prime Video released the first photos from the thriller created by bestselling author Coben and BAFTA winner Danny Brocklehurst.

Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones & the Six) and Oscar nominee Bill Nighy (The First Omen) star as Joel Lazarus and Dr. Jonathan Lazarus. The series also stars Alexandra Roach as Jenna Lazarus, David Fynn as Seth McGovern, Karla Crome as Bella Catton, and Kate Ashfield as Detective Alison Brown.

Harlan Coben is a bestselling author known not only for his gripping thriller novels but also for the successful Netflix series adaptations of his work, which have brought his suspenseful stories to life on screen for a global audience.

In 2025, three new Netflix thriller shows based on his work were released. While it doesn't look like we'll be seeing any more come out this year, the good news is that Coben fans still have something to look forward to. The author has a brand-new thriller series set to come out this October. No, it won't be on Netflix. Instead, it will be available to stream on Prime Video.

It's titled Lazarus,...

Whatever problems "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" has with its portrayal of Galactus, none of them come from his actor Ralph Ineson. While Ineson's appearance is completely concealed inside Galactus' armor, his greatest strength as an actor is his deep, Yorkshire accented voice. That voice sounds like it should be coming out of a wrathful cosmic god like Galactus.

Ineson has been working as an on-camera actor since 1993, but he's had a career renaissance in the last decade. Before that, he was part of the cast in the U.K. version of "The Office" as Chris Finch (the counterpart to David Koechner's Todd Packer from the American version). In the late 2000s to early 2010s, he also had minor parts in the "Harry Potter" films (as the Death Eater Amycus Carrow), "Game of Thrones" (the Ironborn Dagmer Cleftjaw), and...

Some films seem to be tailor-made for home video success, and the 2024 supernatural horror film Immaculate is one of them. That said, the movie should've done much better in theaters, especially since it was star Sydney Sweeney's immediate follow-up to her smash-hit romantic comedy Anyone But You. Sweeney put all her might behind promoting the film, as did distributor Neon. They memorably got a couple of real nuns to watch bits of the film, and captured their reactions on camera. Immaculate follows a young American nun who moves to an Italian convent and discovers all sorts of horrific secrets about it. As she digs further, she experiences something straight out of Rosemary's Baby, the classic horror film based on Ira Levin's novel. Immaculate is now available to watch on Prime Video, where it promptly found a spot on the global viewership charts.

According to FlixPatrol, Immaculate was the...

Sydney Sweeney made her horror debut in Immaculate, a film about a nun who's "chosen" to conceive the church's redemption. The actor said the movie borrowed themes and stories from horror classics like Rosemary's Baby.

Per Flixpatrol, Immaculate is on Prime Video's Top 10 streaming chart, ranking seventh as of Aug. 13. Reminiscent of the nun-sploitation films of the 70s, the movie featured the same religious themes and body horror as The Devils, Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun and The First Omen. Despite heavy competition from 2024's Ghostbusters and Godzilla x Kong sequels, Immaculate was a commercial hit, earning $35 million against its $9 million budget.

Much of that success was due to Sydney Sweeney's role in the production and development.Immaculate revolves around Sister Cecilia (Sweeney), a novitiate nun assigned to a small-town convent. While fulfilling her vows and tending to their ailing, dying nuns, she spends her first nights having nightmarish visions.

In “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” Marvel’s First Family faces off against the walking, talking, planet-eating Galactus for the first time — sort of. Though the cosmic devourer has appeared in a Marvel film before, Matt Shakman’s latest entry to the MCU marks the first time an actor has actually portrayed Galactus.

When the Fantastic Four meet Galactus, they are faced with a colossal man in purple garb with a tuning fork helmet. Despite the visual silliness of this character, his immense size and booming, theater-shaking voice immediately establish a threat unlike the Four have ever faced.

But who lent their voice to give Galactus such gravitas? Read on to meet the man behind the planet eater.

Who plays Galactus in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”

To play Galactus, Marvel Studios tapped Ralph Ineson, a Robert Eggers regular and rising horror icon known for “The Witch,” “The First Omen” and “Nosferatu.

In addition to debuting the “It: Welcome to Derry” teaser trailer, creators Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti shared the first 10 minutes of the premiere at San Diego Comic Con.

That footage will not be made available online — you’ll have to wait until the series premieres in October on HBO Max — so here’s a rundown of what was shown.

A film projector whirs to life. Derry’s Capitol Theater is screening The Music Man, establishing the series’ 1962 setting. The camera travels through the theater before landing on a young boy sucking on a pacifier he’s too old for. Referred to as the Clemons boy, he’s a new character created for the series.

The usher spots Clemons, who makes a run for it. A bit of dialogue reveals that the boy frequently sneaks in, and his rough family life is alluded to. The usher chases him through the lobby,...

It's been a tough year so far for studio horror films, with the odd exception, of course. Only a few weeks after Sony's 28 Years Later appeared to defy trends and deliver a respectable haul at the box office, the studio's I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel found itself being overwhelmed by competition. The slasher film debuted this past week, and underperformed with just under $15 million in its opening frame at the domestic box office. Audiences were clearly more interested in watching the holdover hits Superman, Jurassic World Rebirth, and F1. However, despite its lukewarm debut, I Know What You Did Last Summer has now overtaken one of last year's surprise horror hits, the low-budget supernatural chiller Immaculate.

Starring Sydney Sweeney as a nun who moves to Italy and discovers horrific secrets at her convent, Immaculateconcluded its box office run with $35 million worldwide and $15 million domestically.

Body horror is having something of a comeback. Titles like The Substance, The Shrouds, and even The First Omen and Alien: Romulus are updating classic templates with new, ooey, gooey bouts of body horror. It’s arguably the least accessible subgenre of horror, largely because it targets our innate revulsion. We see bodies in new, grotesque lights, yes, but it simultaneously reminds us of how vulnerable and soft our own bodies are. That’s why I can’t do eye gore, y’all.

There are several classics. Some, like The Fly, are award-winning. Others, like Excision, are grossly underrated. Wherever you fall on the scale of body horror (and how much your own body can take), there’s no denying it’s one of the freshest, most urgent subgenres around. Luckily, horror streamer Shudder just quietly acquired one of the best body horror movies of the century. You might have seen it before,...

Michael Mohan's 2024 horror thriller "Immaculate" is another entry in the well-worn "demon baby" genre, a horror sub-category that solidified in 1968 with the release of "Rosemary's Baby." In the film, Sydney Sweeney plays Cecilia, a young nun who moves into an Italian convent, following her own spiritual senses. While there, she shockingly becomes immaculately pregnant, and the convent sees her child as potentially divine. Of course, there is a shadowy conspiracy afoot, and Cecilia begins to suspect that some of the older nuns and the convent's local priest (Álvaro Morte) might be involving her in some sort of demonic ritual. The film has a gloriously shocking ending, although it's a little too arch and arty to be the trashy thrill it aims to be. It's unusual that "Immaculate" came out so close to "The First Omen," another demonic pregnancy thriller about a young nun.

Sweeney, it should be noted, served...

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, New Regency has secured rights to “They’re Still Here,” a short story from Stephen Herman that he will adapt for film, with Phantom Four and Good Fear (Mulan) producing alongside New Regency.

They’re Still Here follows a family struggling to put their lives back together in the aftermath of a brutal home invasion.

News of the acquisition comes following a couple of recent hires at New Regency: Tesha Crawford as EVP, Head of International Television, and Colin Greten as Vice President of Film.

Herman is perhaps best known for writing Black Box, a 2020 sci-fi horror film starring Mamoudou Athie, which was exec produced by Jason Blum under his Blumhouse Television banner and released on Prime Video. He also currently has projects in development at Paramount and Netflix.

Phantom Four has worked on shows like Murderbot (Apple TV+) and The Sandman...

New Regency has hired former 20th Century Fox creative production executive Colin Greten as vice president of film as the company grows its production ambitions.

Greten will report to president of motion pictures and television Natalie Lehmann as New Regency assembles a feature slate that includes John Hillcoat’s Blood Meridian adaptation, Ubisoft video game adaptation Watch Dogs to star Tom Blyth and Sophie Wilde, and Psycho Killer with Georgina Campbell in the lead.

Lehmann called the new hire “a sharp, forward-thinking executive with a strong creative sensibility and valuable industry experience”. Greten’s arrival follows the recent appointment of Tesha Crawford as EVP,...

New Regency has hired Colin Greten as Vice President of Film in an ongoing expansion of its leadership team and global footprint.

The company recently added Tesha Crawford as EVP, Head of International Television.

Greten, who reports to Natalie Lehmann, president of Motion Pictures and Television, was most recently a creative production executive at Disney-owned 20th Century Studios. He joins during a period of growth for New Regency as the company builds out a slate of high-profile film and TV projects, including Blood Meridian based on the Cormac McCarthy novel, written by John Logan and directed by John Hillcoat; Watch Dogs, an adaptation of Ubisoft’s best-selling video game franchise starring Tom Blyth and Sophie Wilde; and Psycho Killer, written by Andrew Kevin Walker and starring Georgina Campbell. Additional recent and upcoming titles include Steve McQueen’s Blitz (Apple TV+); The Bikeriders (Focus Features), untitled Elon Musk documentary from Alex Gibney (HBO); 2073,...

The Omen True Haunting Stories(Photo Credit –YouTube)

The Omen did not need much help to be terrifying on screen, but what happened off-screen told a different story, and it is one far more chilling. Before a single frame rolled, the shadow was already there, lurking around the production like it had something to prove. The film, which tells the story of a boy adopted by a diplomat who turns out to be the Antichrist, was drenched in death and disaster both in front of and behind the camera.

Lightning Strikes Multiple Planes Connected To The Omen

The string of bad luck and misfortune kicked off in 1975 with none other than the legendary late actor Gregory Peck. He boarded a plane to London, and during mid-flight, it was struck by lightning. One may consider it to be nothing more than a fluke, but then it struck the writer’s plane too.

The rightfully beloved "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" anime follows two brothers — Edward and Alphonse Elric — chasing the Philosopher's Stone across the nation of Amestris. Their main obstacle in this task are the Homunculi, artificial humans with names and powers reflecting the seven deadly sins.

The Homunculi's Father wants to use the Elric brothers as "hitobashira" (best translation is "human sacrifice") for his evil plan. Hiromu Arakawa, the Fullmetal author, naming her bad guy "Father," feels influenced by her love for "Star Wars" and Darth Vader. The movie homages in the anime don't end there, including when it comes to Father's pride and joy.

"Fullmetal Alchemist" introduces the Homunculi gradually. The earliest episodes/manga chapters feature only Lust, Gluttony, and Envy. Then, near the end of the series' first cour, it introduces Greed, Sloth, and Wrath. The reveal of Wrath is especially...

Since its 1993 release, multiple efforts have been made to either reboot or continue Sylvester Stallone’s high-altitude action film, Cliffhanger. One of the more recent iterations had Stallone attached in a supporting role that would have seen him pass the torch to a new generation of mountain climbers, much like his approach in Creed. However, that version fell apart following a major creative overhaul, which brought on a new set of cast and characters as well as a new director. The project was subsequently reimagined as a gender-swapped remake, with Lily James taking on the lead role. Now, James has provided an encouraging update, confirming that the film has made significant progress and is on track to hit screens soon.

James will next be seen in the movie, Finally Dawn, due out next weekend on July 18, 2025. While promoting the film recently, the actress spoke to ScreenRant, in an interview where...

Lily James teases that her upcoming movie Cliffhangeris very different from Sylvester Stallone's original movie she's remaking. News of the Cliffhanger reboot movie came last year as James was revealed to be the franchise's new star, with Jaume Collet-Serra directing and Pierce Brosnan acting as a co-star.

The upcoming film is a remake of Sylvester Stallone's 1993 action film directed by Renny Harlin. He starred as a mountain climber who is thrust into a position to stop a plane robbery after failing to save his girlfriend. Cliffhanger was a huge hit, grossing $255 million worldwide, making the TriStar Pictures release the seventh biggest film of 1993.

There have not been many updates on the reboot since it was announced, but star Lily James provided some new Cliffhanger details during a recent interview with Screen Rant's Joe Deckelmeier to promote her new film, Finally Dawn, which hits theaters on July 18, 2025. James teased her practical stunts,...

Action hero Jason Statham has always been a prolific movie star, with many projects on the way. As he's working on a sequel to the action hit The Beekeeper, the actor has another action film on the way.

Statham will team up with Ric Roman Waugh, who was behind Angel Has Fallen and other Gerard Butler action films. Although the film's details, including the title, are kept under wraps, there are some actors attached to the project aside from Statham. Speaking with MovieWeb, Blink Twice star Naomi Ackie hyped up the upcoming action thriller, teasing that it's "a classic."

The actress wasn't able to share many details about the plot, release date, or even the title. However, Ackie couldn't stop praising the film, as well as Statham, highlighting that she had a blast on set.

Jason Statham is so good at making exciting action films that feel extremely watchable.

"Oh,...

Jason Statham has built a career out of punching, kicking, and grumbling his way through stylish, high-octane action thrillers – and it sounds like his next one is already shaping up to be another belter for the Stath. While the title and full details of the project remain under wraps, Mickey 17 star Naomi Ackie is already calling it what every action fan wants to hear: “a classic.”

MovieWeb's George Edelman caught up with Ackie to talk about the upcoming film, which reunites The Beekeeperstar with Angel Has Fallen and Greenland director Ric Roman Waugh. Though Ackie was careful not to spoil too much, her praise for the project and for Statham himself was enough to stoke excitement.

“Oh, it was so much fun. I don't know if I can give anything away. It's such a different world, but it's so much fun. It's a classic that I think the only way I can describe it is,...

Action icon and The Beekeeper star Jason Statham will soon unite with frequent Gerard Butler collaborator and Angel Has Fallen director Ric Roman Waugh for what’s sure to be action thriller magic. While several details, including the title of the movie, are being kept under wraps for now, MovieWeb’s own George Edelman had the chance to speak exclusively with Statham’s co-star, Mickey 17 star Naomi Ackie, about the action outing. And the hype train is now chugging...

While Ackie, who has seen her star rise rapidly following outstanding performances in the likes of Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, Blink Twice, and Mickey 17, wasn’t able to give too much away, she did declare the movie “a classic,” before heaping praise on The Stath.

“Oh, it was so much fun. I don't know if I can give anything away. You know, it's, it's such a different,...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is home to numerous legendary Marvel Comics villains. Indeed, each film in the franchise has tried to outdo the ones before them by introducing the biggest, baddest supervillain to take on its heroes. Sometimes, however, the McU's interpretations of these villains can be a bit underwhelming, which is why "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is pulling out the big guns when it comes to Marvel's first family and their introduction to the property.

The trailer for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" offers a glimpse of Shalla-Bal aka the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) as she arrives on Earth, warning the Fantastic Four and the rest of humanity their world has been "marked for death." Longtime Fantastic Four fans will no doubt realize her warning means the planet eater Galactus (Ralph Ineson) is on his way. So far, however, we have only gotten brief looks at the cosmic...

After surviving plenty of challenges at the global box office in the last few weeks, Sony’s Until Dawn faced its biggest competition yet this week, in the form of Final Destination Bloodlines. The latest installment of the long-running horror franchise exceeded expectations in its debut weekend, while Until Dawn surrendered over 700 theaters domestically. Despite the setback, however, the video game adaptation was able to pass what will likely be its final global box office milestone. While the movie hasn’t exactly set the box office on fire, it has more than managed to recover costs.

With around $20 million domestically and another $30 million from overseas markets, Until Dawn is passing the $50 million worldwide as we speak. The movie probably doesn’t have more lives left and will soon begin a new phase of its journey when it debuts on home video this week. Produced on a reported budget of $15 million,...

Here to restore mainstream horror's battered bankability, Final Destination: Bloodlines is overperforming in its domestic box office debut, thanks to tremendous reviews and audience reception. Bloodlines is the long-running horror franchise's first new installment in 14 years. During this time, the Final Destination movies have accumulated legions of new fans thanks to their popularity on home video. This popularity was reflected in the film's excellent opening-day haul of $21 million, which includes the $5.5 million that it made in Thursday previews.

Bloodlinesis projected to gross around $45 million in its first three days of release, making it the biggest debut of the franchise. By comparison, fellow WB horror film Sinners, which has now completed a month of release, opened with $48 million. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the acclaimed film had a record hold in its sophomore frame, grossing $45 million. The movie slipped to the number three spot this weekend, and is on track to generate around $15 million.

“How do you control people who no longer believe? You create something to fear.”

Horror in the 1970s was dominated by the catholic church. With the success of Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and The Exorcist (1973), audiences hungered for films centered on demonic possession and satanic corruption. Richard Donner’s 1976 film The Omen followed suit with a young Antichrist named Damien (Harvey Stephens) strategically placed in the home of a powerful politician. The story begins with a cursed birth and fraudulent adoption then skips ahead several years to catch up with a strangely sinister little boy.

But lurking within is another story of unthinkable evil. Arkasha Stevenson winds back the clock with The First Omen, a pregnancy horror film centered on Damien’s unwitting mother. Margaret (Nell Tiger Free) is an idealistic young nun who arrives in Rome only to find she’s the target of a sinister cult hiding in her new convent.

Aren’t horror franchises supposed to get worse with each entry? Nah. We’re in a golden window for later-stage prequels and sequels. Indies like V/H/S/Beyond (7th entry) to backtracks like The First Omen are healing the stigma of a Jason Goes to Hell or Texas Chainsaw 3D. Here to offer its axe as the latest example for an inspiring trend is Final Destination Bloodlines, bringing Final Destination back to prominence with a bloody entertaining sequel fourteen years later.

Freaks (and Kim Possible) directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein take a risk on their lore-spanning continuation of Death’s favorite franchise. The Final Destination movies have relied on the cyclical motions of inescapable fates as illustrated by gruesome, Rube Goldbergian death sequences. Bloodlines’ screenplay, written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, is still that, but in a way that addresses every film. A tome is introduced,...

Netflix has unveiled a thrilling teaser trailer for its upcoming global fan event Tudum 2025, offering some exciting previews of its future slate of shows and movies, including a fresh look at Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelley's iconic 1818 Gothic novel about a scientist who brings to life a terrifying monster. The acclaimed filmmaker has been hard at work assembling his latest creation ahead of its release in November, and this new sneak peek of Frankenstein proves it's aliiiive!

The footage of Isaac's mad scientist pops up in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, following a title card for Frankenstein at the 0:41 mark in the video. He is illuminated in the clip by the glow of a burning fireplace, as he tosses aside what looks to be a newspaper and seemingly turns his attention to an envelope. It stops short of revealing what happens next,...

Talk about following a tough act. Sony's Until Dawn opened this week, days after Ryan Coogler's Sinners defied horror movie expectations both critically and commercially. Until Dawn will struggle to hold its ground in its debut weekend, while Sinners is expected to blaze past box office projections, like it did in its debut frame. Inspired by the video game of the same name, the movie opened to mediocre reviews and not-so-promising audience reception, which certainly doesn't bode well for its future. These missteps will ultimately work in Sinners' favor, as more casual audiences give it a chance thanks to the excellent word-of-mouth that it has been attracting.

Until Dawn currently holds a "rotten" 51% rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. But the film's audience score on the platform stands at a significantly superior 71%. A more accurate reflection of audience sentiment can be observed in the C+ CinemaScore that...

A new adaptation of Alex North's best-selling novel "The Whisper Man" on Netflix has found its star-studded cast. Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro will lead the new crime thriller and Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott (Mark Scout in Severance), Michael Keaton (Spotlight), and more will also star. It was first reported that the streaming platform was eyeing the project from Agbo in 2022, but the studio didn't confirm it until February 2025. Agbo is Anthony and Joe Russo's production company, with the brothers having directed several popular Marvel films and Netflix's recent sci-fi epic The Electric State. The filmmaking pair is on board to produce The Whisper Man.

According to Netflix, the film will follow the plot of North's New York Times best-selling book. It's the story of a widowed crime writer whose eight-year-old son is abducted after moving to a new home for a fresh start. The writer looks to his father,...

Fans of Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession weren’t exactly thrilled to learn that a remake is on the way from Paramount and Smile filmmaker Parker Finn, but director Razka Robby Ertanto beat the remake to the punch with Possession: Kerasukan.

The loose Indonesian remake of the cult horror film has quietly been available to stream on Netflix for months.

The synopsis reads the same, “Returning from military duty, Faris is shocked to learn that his wife wants a divorce. He decides to investigate and discovers a sinister secret.”

Żuławski’s film recently received a new 4K restoration, “Banned upon release in 1981, Żuławski’s stunningly choreographed nightmare of a marriage unraveling is an experience unlike any other. Professional spy Mark (Sam Neill) returns to his West Berlin home to find his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani) insistent on a divorce. As Anna’s frenzied behavior becomes ever more alarming,...

Alberto Guerra has been cast as a series regular in Peacock’s upcoming crime series M.I.A., with Edward James Olmos, Billy Burke, and Sônia Braga joining the project in guest-starring roles. Set in South Florida, the drama follows a woman pulled deeper into her family’s criminal operation after a major disruption threatens its survival.

Guerra, whose recent work includes Griselda and The Accident, joins a main cast that includes Shannon Gisela, Brittany Adebumola, Dylan Jackson, Maurice Compte, Danay Garcia, Cary Elwes, Gerardo Celasco, and Marta Milans. Gisela plays Etta Tiger Jonze, whose family runs a drug operation that spans the Miami area. After a shift in the organization’s stability, Etta must rely on instinct and intelligence to navigate a landscape shaped by violence, loyalty, and power.

Adebumola plays a character named Lovely, and Jackson appears as Stanley. These roles were confirmed after the show received a straight-to-series order...

The Fantastic Four are known are Marvel’s “First Family” but this summer, they will technically be newbies to the MCU. Of course, we’re using that term very loosely.

As the nickname denotes, the characters are true Marvel icons and the actors playing the core four are anything but newbies, each starring in massive projects before now. But more on that momentarily. For now, we’re here to tell you that “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is starting to become a bit clearer, especially with the latest trailer.

Set to hit theaters on July 25, the film takes place “against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world” and follows the Fantastic Four as they take on the Devourer of Worlds — Galactus.

Here is who you need to know in the film.

Robert De Niro’s political thriller Zero Day is launching later this month, but the series won’t be the last you see of the star on Netflix. The Oscar-winning actorwill appear in The Whisper Man, a new adaptation of Alex North’s best-selling novel of the same name. Also starring in the film are Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott (Severance), Michael Keaton (Spotlight), and more.

Directed by James Ashcroft and written by Ben Jacoby (The First Omen) and Chase Palmer (It), The Whisper Man is Netflix’s sixth partnership with the Russo brothers’ company Agbo.

“Agbo is excited to be embarking on our sixth film with our incredible partners at Netflix,” Agbo chief creative officer Angela Russo-Otstot said. “The Whisper Man is a gripping thriller but at its core [it] is a poignant and complex story of father...

David Gordon Green’s Halloween grossed $259 million against a meager $10 million budget when it was released in October 2018. If anything in Hollywood talks, it’s money, and suddenly, there was a lot of money sitting untouched in horror’s past. Scream came back to critical and commercial success. Texas Chainsaw Massacre topped the Netflix charts (but severed critics). Hellraiser popped by for a hello, and Candyman reintroduced an entire generation to a genre classic. Legacy horror isn’t a new phenomenon, but it is a curious one, especially given the age of the properties Hollywood looks to resurrect. Olwen Fouéré is fantastic, but she’s not Sally Hardesty. The prequel route solves those problems, and The First Omen shows them how it’s done.

In this era of dredging up the past for new audiences, nothing has done so quite as successfully as Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen. While...

I recently started a horror movie club with some friends from out of state. The ultimate goal is to slowly desensitize them and later convince them to join a wooded cult I intend to start in the next twenty years. But, in the meantime, it’s an excellent opportunity for me to share some of the horror movies I’ve been loving recently. Our next two films scheduled, for those interested, are Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen and Jason Yu’s Sleep. I’m not playing around as curator, okay?

For the inaugural meeting, I had a really hard time narrowing down the list of options. Few of them are horror lovers, and anyone who’s ever helped initiate a new genre fan knows how precise that first horror movie has to be. It’s a make-or-break moment, and through hours of deliberation, I thought of the perfect movie.

An isolated religious community is torn asunder by the arrival of a mysterious beast in the new trailer for The Severed Sun, a folk horror movie arriving this May from Dark Sky Films.

Writer-Director Dean Puckett makes his feature debut with The Severed Sun, releasing in theaters and Digital on May 16, 2025.

The Severed Sun is set “In the heart of an isolated religious community, The Pastor delivers his fervent sermons to a devoted congregation. But dark secrets fester. In the depths of the forest, The Pastor’s daughter, Magpie, takes desperate action, ending the life of her abusive husband. Little does she know, his murder will unleash a malevolent force—a mysterious beast with shimmering white eyes. As weeks pass, suspicion and paranoia grip the community, with accusatory fingers pointed at Magpie. The Pastor struggles to restore Magpie’s dwindling faith, and he is unable to bring her back into ‘The Truth.

Death Of A Unicorn North America Box Office: Debut Weekend Update ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The North American box office desperately needs a big hit as it has yet to witness one, and it has already been three months. Captain America: Brave New World has become this year’s highest-grossing film, but it is not a blockbuster. Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega’s Death of a Unicorn is also headed for a lukewarm opening in the United States. Keep scrolling for more.

Jenna Ortega is carving her niche in the horror comedy genre, thanks to her massive success in the Netflix series Wednesday. She did Tum Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last year, and it was also a financial success. Now, the young actress has returned with another horror comedy, but it seems this one lacks the charm of the Beetlejuice sequel. It collected less than $1 million from the Thursday previews, and on Friday,...

Two actors from TV’s buzziest shows hope to make some noise with a Netflix movie.

Michelle Monaghan, one of the stars of this season’s White Lotus, and Severance headliner Adam Scott have joined Robert De Niro in The Whisper Man, a crime thriller from Netflix.

James Ashcroft, who directed the haunting Kiwi thriller Coming Home in the Dark, is helming the feature, which is being produced by Agbo, the banner behind Netflix’s tentpole sci-fi movie, The Electric State.

Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot and Michael Disco are producing for Agbo.

The story, based on the New York Times best-seller by Alex North, is set in motion when an eight-year old boy is abducted. The father, a widowed crime writer, looks to his own estranged father, a retired former police detective, for help, only to discover a connection with the decades-old case of a convicted serial killer known as “The Whisper Man.

It’s a well-known fact that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences don’t tend to favour genre films when it comes to shortlisting for their tentpole awards ceremony. It’s simply not their bag and that goes that double for anything that happens to fall into the disreputable slum of horror. Indeed — bar a few outliers like Silence of the Lambs, The Exorcist or Get Out — scary movies rarely get a fair shake come Oscar season. Certainly not when compared to, say, glitzy biopics or period pieces that have a more prestigious air about them.

Yet, against all odds, the genre has done quite well for itself this year. Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is dominating the technical categories, The Substance has found itself as an unlikely contender for four of the “Big Five” awards, and even Alien: Romulus has gotten a look in for its VFX work.

With that being said,...

The 23rd edition of the Golden Schmoes voting period ended at midnight, and now we’ve got a full list of all of the winners chosen by our readers! The longest-running, fan-voted awards on the internet, the winners are always very interesting in that they reveal, in surprising ways, both the divide between fans and traditional voting bodies (like the Academy) and their similarities at times. This year, we didn’t have any record-breakers in terms of the most awarded films, with Deadpool & Wolverine earning 7 nods, while The Substance earned 5, and Dune: Part Two earned 4. The all-time champ for the most wins ever for The Golden Schmoes is still The Dark Knight, with 12 wins.

Both Dune: Part Two and The Substance are Academy favourites this year, while Deadpool & Wolverine was mostly overlooked. However, one movie that’s beloved by the Academy, Emilia Perez, was seemingly hated by our voters,...

Bill Nighy (“Living”) is among the stars recruited to join Prime Video’s upcoming action-adventure series starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham. That show also now has a title — “Ride or Die” — while Matt Miller (“Lethal Weapon”) has joined as showrunner and Peyton Reed (“Ant-Man”) has been tapped to direct the first two episodes.

Based on an idea by creator Tessa Coates (“Feel Good”), the eight-episode “Ride or Die” stars Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”) as Judith, who has secretly been working as a highly trained assassin. That’s a double life that Judith’s best friend Debbie (played by Spencer) knows nothing about — until a hit goes wrong. Now Judith and Debbie are on the run, aiming to stay one step ahead of a mysterious enemy.

Nighy will play “The Director” in “Ride or Die.” Also joining the cast: Ed Skrein as “Billy Donovan”; Sylvia Hoeks as “Ana”; Calam Lynch as...

Demi Moore is getting some of the most acclaim of her career, and it's thanks to her work in a genre that critics usually don't heap praise on. Moore has won several accolades for her performance in one of 2024's most important horror movies, The Substance, proving the impact of the body horror feature that blew everybody's mind last year. The most recent win was at the Critics' Choice Awards, where Moore won in the Best Actress category. During her speech, the actor was noticeably moved by the recognition, and used the opportunity to share some love for horror, the movie genre Hollywood usually forgets about every year when award season comes around.

In The Substance, Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a faded Hollywood star whose career has seen better days. Elisabeth is offered the chance to be relevant again and possibly save her career. She only needs to use "The Substance,...
