Ti West’s The House of the Devil is the latest cult horror classic to receive the deluxe treatment from Second Sight Films, with a Limited Edition Blu-ray release set for 28th April 2025. The revered 2009 slow-burn chiller, praised for its meticulous recreation of 1980s horror aesthetics, will also be available in a Standard Edition Blu-ray for fans looking to revisit one of the filmmaker’s most unsettling works.

West, now one of the most respected voices in horror thanks to X, Pearl, and MaXXXine, made a significant impact with The House of the Devil. Hailed by BFI.com as “one of the finest, most authentic horror films to appear in recent memory,” the film expertly channels the dread-inducing atmosphere of the satanic panic era.

Set in 1983, the story follows Samantha Hughes (Jocelin Donahue), a struggling college student in desperate need of cash. When she responds to an ad for a babysitting job,...

Caye Casas’ deeply unsettling horror The Coffee Table (La mesita del comedor) is receiving the deluxe treatment from Second Sight Films, with a Limited Edition Blu-ray release set for 28th April 2025. The Spanish psychological horror, notorious for its gut-punch storytelling and relentless descent into despair, arrives with a host of new extras, including an exclusive audio commentary, fresh interviews with the cast and director, and two of Casas’ earlier short films.

Originally released to stunned audiences, The Coffee Table has been hailed as one of the most distressing horror films in recent memory, with El Mundo branding it “horror film of the year” and Projected Figures calling it a “genre-leaping marvel” that twists from dark comedy into pure tragedy. Casas, known for Killing God, co-wrote the script with Cristina Borobia (Rip), crafting a story that plays with tension and absurdity before plunging into unbearable dread.

The film follows Jesús and María,...

Stephen King is the source of many of modern horror's most powerful stories, but he is also an excellent bellwether for exciting developments in the genre world. One of his recent recommendations challenges hardcore fright fans to test their mettle: Caye Casas's taboo-smashing The Coffee Table has traumatized audiences the world over, and now this horrifying sensation is available on Shudder.

This pitch-black Spanish comedy concerns a pair of new parents who purchase a divisive piece of furniture that changes their lives in ways they could never have imagined. The film has also changed the lives of many unwitting audience members, who never saw anything as boundary-pushing — or as bizarrely funny — as this low-budget, high-tension horror-comedy. Those who won't take Stephen King's word for it can read on to find out what all the fuss is about, before plunging into the shocking experience of The Coffee Table.

If you like disturbing horror movies, then you probably have a list of your favorites, but you're also probably always in search of new films to add to the list. One of Shudder'slatest additions could and should make the cut. The Coffee Table is its title, and it's one of the most disturbing horror movies ever made.Currently sitting at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, the Spanish feature from 2023 is now streaming on the horror-exclusive service Shudder. The film was only released on the festival circuit and played in only a handful of theaters in Spain. However, it rose to prominence when the master of horror, Stephen King, posted the following on X/Twitter: "There's a Spanish movie called The Coffee Table on Amazon Prime and Apple+. My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It's horrible and also horribly funny.

Sony Taking Japanese Format ‘100 Choices’ To London TV Screenings

Sony Pictures Television (Spt) is taking Japanese format 100 Choices to the London TV Screenings. Fany Studio’s show in which contestants are faced with one question but 100 possible answers first piloted in October 2023 before being picked up by Spt at the Asia TV Forum & Market. As well as distributing the format internationally, in countries where Spt has a non-fiction production company, the format will be repped by Stellify (UK), B17 Entertainment (U.S.), Curio (Australia), Teleset (Mexico) and Floresta (Brazil). In 100 Choices, contestants are faced with the 100 answers and if they can answer correctly, they win a large cash prize. The questions are nearly impossible to answer, so the contestants take on five physical challenges that allow them to eliminate some of the 100 potential choices based on their performance in each challenge.

The Human Centipede, Tom Six's divisive body horror franchise, will arrive with its wholesome three entries on a platform exclusively curated for horror fans. If you happen to have Betelgeuse's taste for horror, beginning Feb. 24, fans of the disgusting franchise that gets funnier with every sequel, will be able to stream not one, not two, but all three Human Centipede films on Shudder.

If you're into very compelling historical dramas based on fact, then you need to leave this post and head on to the next one. This is exclusively for fans of the wicked, gross, and almost offensive horror offshoots.

One of the scariest "non-horror" horror films of the 2020s is heading to streaming. The Coffee Table, from director Caye Casas, who co-wrote this twisted monster of a horror, thriller, black comedy with Cris Borobia,will stream on Shudder starting February 24, giving genre fans one more reason to pay for the horror-exclusive platform. A Spanish production, The Coffee Table was released in 2022 on the festival circuit, but it didn't get too much attention at the time. The director even planned to distribute it himself outside Spain, where his movie went on a very limited theatrical run. It wasn't until seminal horror author Stephen Kingpraised the film on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Casas' film gained the notoriety it deserved.

King's post (which can't be seen anymore since the horror author recently decided to leave the social media platform) read, "There's a Spanish movie called The Coffee Table on Amazon...

French romantic comedy “This Charming Girl” and French comedy “Vanishing Goats” have joined the slate of Paris-based sales company MPM Premium, which will introduce the films to buyers at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris.

“This Charming Girl,” directed by Jean-Luc Gaget and co-written with Raphaële Moussafir, will be released in France by Nour Films. The cast is led by Pauline Clément, Arthur Dupont, Emilie Caen (“Ducobu”) and Karin Viard.

The film centers on Clémence, a quiet yet amusing Parisian, who had a complicated childhood. At the age of 30, she struggles with low self-esteem. Fate intervenes when she meets Paul, a man with a domineering personality whom everyone calls “Paul Pot.” Clémence begins to ask herself: could he be the one?

The production companies are La Féline Films, Les Films du Capitaine and Karé Productions.

“This Charming Girl” will have a market screening at Rendez-Vous on Jan. 16.

Five years ago, following the lack of recognition at the Oscars for horror films, Trace Thurman and I created “The Hereditaries” (named after Toni Collette’s Hereditary omission), a series of horror awards to acknowledge all of the great work being done in the genre.

We’re now up to the sixth annual Hereditaries (click here to vote), which celebrates the amazing diversity of horror films released in 2024.

Not unlike the 2023 Hereditaries when Evil Dead Rise and Saw X led the pack (hear who won here), the love has once again been spread out across a diverse list of films. Led by cultural phenomenon The Substance (9 nominations), there’s a great range of popular/main stream titles like Alien: Romulus and The First Omen (7 nominations each) as well as quiet sleepers like Strange Darling (6 nominations) and queer classics such as Femme (4 nominations) and I Saw The TV Glow (6 nominations).

In 2024, I was excited to see horror expand in several ways, from original concept horror films (The Coffee Table) to media preserving horror history (El Vamprio box set) to anniversaries of significant horror films (Mahal). I also had amazing opportunities this year to have memorable horror experiences that included Dracula, Chucky, and Wednesday Addams. And without further ado, here are my favorites of 2024.

10. Stranger Sings

Confession. I’ve never seen Stranger Things. However, as a big fan of musicals, when I learned about this musical horror comedy parody, I had to watch it. Stranger Sings follows the beloved Hawkins residents during the disappearance of young Will. It’s so silly and fun. I enjoyed it. This was a great introduction to the Stranger Things universe for someone like me, who can’t tell the difference between a Demogorgon and an Eggo waffle.

9. Late Night with the Devil

Proof that we...

One of the most fun aspects of horror is the endless creativity when it comes to on-screen carnage, and 2024 has delivered no shortage of memorable horror movie kills.

It’s been a fantastic showcase for special makeup effects artists when it comes to on-screen slaughter; 2024 provided multiple extended kills that cumulatively threatened to wipe out a warehouse supply of fake blood. And that’s why we’re looking back and paying tribute to some of the nastiest, goriest, and most unforgettable 2024 horror movie kills.

We’re saluting the ten best kills in 2024 horror movies, which means massive spoilers ahead for the following: Longlegs, MaXXXine, Sting, Alien: Romulus, The Coffee Table, Abigail, Smile 2, The Substance, Terrifier 3, and In a Violent Nature.

You’ve been warned…

The solo feature directing debut of Spanish filmmaker Caye Casas, the horror comedy The Coffee Table (a.k.a. La mesita del comedor) was made in 2022 and got a lot of attention as it made its way around the world earlier this year, with JoBlo’s own Alex Maidy giving it an 8/10 review that can be read at This Link and legendary author Stephen King recommending it to his fans and followers by writing, “My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny. Think the Coen Brothers’ darkest dream.” Now, Casas has revealed that The Coffee Table is getting a Turkish remake, titled Cam Sehpa, from director Can Evrenol!

Evrenol made his feature directorial debut with the 2015 horror film Baskin and has since directed the horror thriller Housewife, the post-apocalyptic adventure Peri: Agzi Olmayan Kiz,...

It should be no surprise that, as another year winds to a close, horror continued to dominate in 2024. Terrifier 3, for example, became the highest-grossing Unrated movie in box office history, throwing all the indie cinema rules out the window in the process. Longlegs caught everyone off guard, becoming Neon‘s highest-grossing film upon release in July, and streaming service Mubi smartly acquired the body horror movie The Substance, where it became the platform’s highest-grossing film at the box office.

That doesn’t even touch on the huge studio earners like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, or Alien: Romulus. Yet the surprises extend well beyond how well horror performed at the box office; 2024 horror is defined by the way it refused to stay within its tidy genre bounds.

This is reflected in the way that 2024 horror found new angles to push franchises forward through prequels and sequels,...

Caye Casas’s The Coffee Table delivered on of the darkest, pitch black horror comedies of the year that even shocked Stephen King. Casas revealed today that a Turkish remake of his macabre feature is now in production, with Baskin director Can Evrenol at the helm.

Casas broke the news on social media, revealing that the remake is currently titled Cam Sehpa.

The Coffee Table “follows Jesus and Maria, a couple going through a difficult time in their relationship. Nevertheless, they have just become parents. To shape their new life, they decide to buy a new coffee table. A decision that will change their existence.”

David Pareja and Estefanía de los Santos star as the ill-fated couple, with Josep Riera, Claudia Riera, and Eduardo Antuña rounding out the cast.

The horror comedy is currently streaming on Tubi in case you missed it, and Casas is already hard at work on...

“State of Silence,” (“Estado de Silencio”), the fourth doc feature by Mexico’s Santiago Maza (“The Thunder Feast”), a passion project of producer Diego Luna at Mexico-based label La Corriente del Golfo where he partners with Gael García Bernal, has walked off with a coveted best feature award at this year’s Sanfic Festival in Santiago de Chile.

Further big winners were Agustín Toscano’s “I Trust You,” which took best direction in Sanfic International Competition and “Our Memory” from Matías Rojas Valencia and “The Fabulous Gold Harvesting Machine,” from Alfredo Pourally, which shared top best feature honors in Sanfic’s Chilean Film Competition.

Major winners at Sanfic Industria, Sanfic’s vibrant industry forum, were led by Caye Casas’ “El Show del Gran Luciferio,” his follow-up to “The Coffee Table,” which Stephen King consecrated by applauding it as “horrible and also horribly funny. Think the Coen Brothers’ darkest dream.”

“Water Never Hurt,...

Fresh off this year’s The Coffee Table, one of the most downright shocking horror movies in years (and Stephen King agrees), director Caye Casas is now in development on a brand new movie. According to a report from Variety today, it’s titled El Show del Gran Luciferio.

The outlet notes that the upcoming genre film is “now in development and headed to the Sanfic Int’l Film Festival after being selected for this year’s Morbido Lab tutelage program.”

The website details, “The plot centers on the eccentric Luciferio, a game show host who pits contestants against each other in over-the-top trials to appease a rapt audience.

“As the show progresses, the games grow more barbaric as the adulation for the savage host drives increasing fury.”

Casas explains, “What are we capable of doing for money? We all have a price according to our personality, our circumstances and our ambitions.

The latest from horror virtuoso Caye Casas, “El Show del Gran Luciferio,” is now in development and headed to the Sanfic Int’l Film Festival after being selected for this year’s Morbido Lab tutelage program.

Promising to deliver a titillating and freshly devious narrative steeped in nostalgia, the dark and acerbic horror concept is produced by industry heavyweights Norbert Llaràs at his Barcelona-based Alhena Production (“The Coffee Table”) and Albert Pons, co-founder of Mexico’s Pulsar Films.

“The script for this project was the first thing I read by Caye, long before the shorts ‘Nothing C.O.’ and ‘Rip,’ and feature films ‘Killing God’ and ‘The Coffee Table,’ but it’s a script that’s always haunted me. When I read it, I was completely overcome by the brutality and strength of the proposal. It’s written in a totally unorthodox but one hundred percent genuine way,” Llaràs, a longtime Casas producer,...

Titles from Caye Casas, whose jarring film “The Coffee Table” earned a nod from Stephen King, and a comeback project from former Eli Roth co-scribe Guillermo Amoedo (“The Inhabitant”), figure into a six-title slate for the fifth edition of the Santiago Int’l Film Festival’s Morbido Lab.

According to Sanfic co-founder Gabriela Sandoval, the competition was tight this year as the strand “had many more applications than in 2023.”

Morbido founder and CEO Pablo Guisa Koestinger will be on the ground to advise the talent, both established and budding, leading them towards full development and financing for their chilling projects. Director Luis Javier Henaine, who recently released genre highlight and Morbido Fest Bronze Skull Winner, “Disappear Completely” and veteran scribe, producer and director Adrian Garcia Bogliano, whose 2012 Title “Here Comes The Devil” swept the Austin Fantastic Fest, will provide additional mentorship.

This year’s selections center on the fantastic, the...

The Fangoria Chainsaw Awards are back this year and bigger than ever.

Once again airing on AMC’s Shudder, the 2024 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards has shifted the annual awards show’s shift to October; as such, the window of this year’s eligible horrors is an expanded one, encompassing all of 2023 and the first half of 2024. That means a much bigger selection of horror titles to pull from, and with the expanded categories this year, that means a massive list of 46 nominees. They even have a new category this year: Best Video Game.

Here’s where you come in; Fangoria needs your vote to decide on the winners! We have it on good authority that some of the categories are extremely competitive right now. And voting happens to be officially open for the awards show.

Participants can cast their votes via the official Fangoria website at www.fangoria.com/vote/. Voting...

The only award season that matters is here! Joking (kind of), but seriously, Fangoria just released the complete list of nominees for the 2024 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. Considering how often horror gets shut out of the mainstream award shows, it's nice to have at least one thing we can rely on year after year.

Last year's Chainsaw Awards included big wins for movies like The Black Phone, Terrifier 2, and Prey. This time, the categories are again stacked, with films like Abigail, Evil Dead Rise, The First Omen, Talk To Me, Late Night with the Devil, and many more going head to head.

Specific performances are also being highlighted, like Tobin Bell in Saw X and Kathryn Newton for both Lisa Frankenstein and Abigail. It's been a fantastic few years for horror, and it'll be exciting to see which movies pull ahead this time around.

In addition to popular categories such as Best Wide Release,...

Horror has many subgenres. Perhaps you like slashers, creature features, or stories of demonic possession. If you like your horror painted red, there are splatter films like Ichi the Killer, Hostel, and the Saw franchise to satisfy your bloodthirst. Sometimes, however, horror goes even darker, with tales so gory and twisted that you can't believe someone actually thought it up and was allowed to make it. Cannibal Holocaust, Sal, or the 120 Days of Sodom, and A Serbian Film are near sadistic in their intensity, and can only be withstood by the most hardcore of fans. There is now a new member to this gruesome club with the Spanish film The Coffee Table. Co-written with Cristina Borobia and directed by Caye Casas, The Coffee Table isn't a movie with a high body count, lots of intense gore, or physical torture. No, Casas does something more frightening by torturing our minds until...

Fantastic Pavilion, the genre business hub launched at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, announced a slew of deals closed at the venue this year, with L..A-based Severin Films, a boutique Blu-ray and DVD label, inking a pact to release eleven Special Edition physical discs of the most popular Originals and licensed features from horror subscription streamer Shudder and IFC Films.

Initial titles include Joko Anwar’s “Satan’s Slaves”; Brandon Cronenberg’s “Antiviral”; Can Evrenol’s “Baskin”; Franck Khalfoun’s 2012 remake of “Maniac”; Douglas Buck’s 2006 remake of “Sisters” and André Øvredal’s “The Autopsy of Jane Doe.”

The deal was brokered by Severin Film’s co-founder-ceo David Gregory, Shudder’s Vice President of Programming Sam Zimmerman, and AMC Networks Director of Content Sales Lucas Verga.

“The work done at Severin Films is astounding,” said Zimmerman, adding: “They are directly responsible for some of the greatest home video releases ever...

I had read quite a lot of comments about The Coffee Table before I had seen it but pretty much all of them said something along the lines of “watch The Coffee Table knowing as little about the film as possible.” And those kind of comments make it a very difficult film to review because they are absolutely right. You want to know as little about The Coffee Table before you see that. With that said, I will indeed keep my review spoiler-free. But I will have to write a little bit more!

The Coffee Table focuses on newly-turned parents, Jesus and Maria. Despite just becoming parents they are going through a tough time. It wasn’t easy getting pregnant, and Jesus suggests he wasn’t really ‘ready’ to have a child,...

Plot: Unspeakable horror meets the blackest of black comedy. To celebrate the birth of their baby, a bickering couple buys a coffee table. Guaranteed to bring happiness to their family by the smarmy salesman, the couple instead find nothing but horror with this furniture and all without ghosts, monsters or possessions, just a tacky coffee table.

Review: It is hard for movies to fall between the cracks for a movie site like ours. Rarely do we learn of a movie after everyone else, especially two years late. The Coffee Table, directed by Caye Casas, is a Spanish movie that debuted in 2022 in Europe before hitting the festival circuit in 2023. The movie snuck onto DVD and streaming platforms domestically in April but is now buzzing thanks to an endorsement on social media from Stephen King. Knowing nothing about the film besides King’s endorsement, I checked out The Coffee Table and...

Horror fans looking to test their mettle should take note of director Caye Casas‘s The Coffee Table. Horror master Stephen King recently said of the pitch-black tragicomedy, “My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny.”

That sums up this grim movie well, with King’s recommendation worth taking.

In a press release, Casas said, “We wanted to make one of the cruelest films ever made, one that people cannot forget. It will make them feel very strong emotions, real terror without monsters, zombies, ghosts or murderers, only with a dining room table and the cruelest fate that you can imagine.”

The filmmaker, who co-wrote the film with Cristina Borobia, isn’t downplaying the cruelty.

The film “follows Jesus and Maria, a couple going through a difficult time in their relationship.

The poster for the innocuously named “The Coffee Table” notes that it is “A Cruel Caye Casas Film.” The unique designation is certainly fitting, given the storm of controversy it’s stirring up among horror fans. The comically vague logline for the Spanish film — new parents buy a coffee table that will change their lives forever — hides a shocking incident that happens early on. Said incident is not for the faint of heart, and director and co-writer Casas is eager to not only lean into the controversy but take willing audiences on an emotional journey of horror without monsters or the supernatural.

Without spoiling the central incident, Casas explained his film to Variety, including how much he wanted to push audiences, the unique title and how he reacted when Stephen King recommended his work.

(Note: This interview was conducted over email for accuracy between the Spanish and Catalan-speaking Casas and the English-speaking author.

Stephen King raves about the Spanish movie The Coffee Table, calling it "horrible and horribly funny," comparable to the Coen Brothers. King's recommendation holds weight, potentially helping The Coffee Table gain new viewers and recognition in the horror genre. Despite its controversial content, the film has gained attention and might appeal to horror fans looking for something especially disturbing.

Legendary horror novelist Stephen King shares his rave review of the little-known Spanish movie The Coffee Table. Directed by Caye Casas, The Coffee Table is a 2022 Spanish black-comedy horror movie starring Josep Riera, David Pareja, Estefana de los Santos, and Claudia Riera. Known for his extensive work in the horror genre after rising to fame with his debut novel, Carrie, King has written a total of 66 books. Many of his works, including It, The Shining, The Green Mile, and Salem's Lot, have been adapted for the screen.

Well-known for his outspoken...

Every year, one or two movies arrive with a certain kind of hype that basically involves people puking, fainting, or leaving the theater in horror. More often than not, these movies turn out to be disappointing. Not that all of these are bad, but they definitely fail to live up to that hype. The Spanish horror-comedy The Coffee Table is the latest movie to come with such hype; in fact, even the likes of Stephen King have lauded it by using terms like “Coen brothers’ dark dream.” Letterboxd is flooded with reviews that are saying what a terribly difficult, anxiety-inducing watch this movie is. Well, here’s the thing: The Coffee Table, directed by Caye Casas, is indeed what people say. You’ve got no idea what’s coming for you until you actually watch it. And it is absolutely unimaginable and traumatizing. In fact, I would even say people...

Stephen King praised Spanish horror film The Coffee Table as "horrible and horribly funny." The movie follows a couple who purchase a cursed coffee table, leading to tragic consequences. While dark and disturbing, The Coffee Table delivers authentic performances and has gained praise.

One of the great things about following Stephen King on social media is getting to see the master of horrors' take on some of the genre's newest films. As someone who has been in the game for the last 50 years, and has had more than 50 of his stories turned into movies, King has more than deserved his right to comment on both the good and the bad. He was recently at it again, this time offering praise to a film thats mostly flown under the radar in the mainstream, that being the little know Spanish horror gem, The Coffee Table.

There is no other horror film you’ll see this year as incessantly cruel and mean-spirited as The Coffee Table. This is both a compliment and a criticism, as, while the film is plenty committed to twisting the knife into its audience, it can also be rather repetitive before rushing to the finish. However, it is also painfully effective at making you feel sick to your stomach for nearly 90 minutes straight. Imagine the ill-fated drive in Hereditary was stretched to a feature, and you’ll start to get a sense of what’s in store for what feels destined to be one of 2024’s more disturbing horror films. Sure, there are plenty of gloriously bloody visions in upcoming works like In a Violent Nature or Cuckoo. Hell, even fantastical supernatural films like Oddity get incredibly dark before they tear you to pieces. The thing is that all of these films...
