It’s that time again; we’re halfway through another year. Luckily, 2021 holds much more promise, at least compared to last year. The world is slowly opening up again, and the theatrical slate returns to normality just in time for the summer blockbuster season. While that means that the first half of the year was scarce

“Werewolves have guns… Get revenge?” This comical line marked the only words that the aspiring writer and werewolf fan could come up with in Josh Ruben’s feature debut, Scare Me. It seems kismet that Ruben’s follow-up, Werewolves Within, works as a spiritual progression of his debut, putting a werewolf at the center of a murder mystery

The next Evil Dead movie is titled Evil Dead Rise, and as we recently learned, it’s going straight to HBO Max. Today brings another update, with more casting news announced. Produced by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, Evil Dead Rise is set up at New Line Cinema, and in the director’s chair this time around is Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground). Via

Esther is back in upcoming prequel Orphan: First Kill, with Isabelle Fuhrman returning to play the character and William Brent Bell (The Boy, Separation) directing the new movie. In Orphan: First Kill, “Leena Klammer (aka Esther) orchestrates a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility and travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But Leena’s new

Sean King O’Grady‘s feature directorial debut works like Pandora’s box of horror. Tension already exists for the dysfunctional foursome trapped together within a cramped space, but endless complications douse that tension with gasoline. Hope dangles like a tiny beacon amidst the relentless wave of obstacles. We Need to Do Something asks its audience to use their imagination for

2018’s Halloween was undoubtedly a major success. While not everyone loved it, by any stretch, it was pretty well received, did very well at the box office, and more than anything, proudly exclaimed that the franchise was back after a nine-year absence. However, there was one element of the movie that both the people who

On the road to Paramount’s release of a new Friday the 13th 8-movie Blu-ray collection, which is currently selling for $60 and releasing in August, Amazon has just slashed the price of Scream Factory‘s recent Friday the 13th Deluxe Edition Blu-ray Collection down to just $99.99! This is the first time the set has dipped

Lucasarts’ classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors (which is getting a re-release later this month) was announced to be getting a physical version last month by Limited Run Games. What we didn’t know was that they were also going to be doing reproduction carts for the SNES and Genesis for the original version! Announced during their

That sneaky New Blood Interactive not only showcased some of its awesome games in a sizzle reel at the PC Gaming Show, it slipped a few unannounced ones in for good measure. In between footage of the likes of DUSK, Gloomwood, and Airdorf’s The Unholy Trinity, there were brief glimpses of five as yet unknown

Movie Games scored a big win for their erotic horror title Lust From Beyond at the Future Games Show last night by announcing an M-rated version for Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Lust from Beyond: M Edition is “tailored to the preferences of players who love the genre of Lovecraftian horror for its mystery, narrative and

One of the many benefits of genre storytelling is the way horror evokes extreme empathy. Watching a character confront adversity in horror offers a uniquely communal experience that builds understanding that bridges all walks of life. Shapeless explores the all-consuming addictive behaviors of an eating disorder, using psychological body horror to convey the toll it can

I’m a sucker for a game with Kajiu in it. I even have a soft spot for that PS4 Godzilla brawler that wasn’t particularly good, but let you be King Fucking Ghidorah and trash a city. First revealed at the PC Gaming Show at E3 2021, GigaBash looks like the multiplayer bootleg of that game

After giving fans a taste earlier this week, Ubisoft has revealed Rainbow Six Extraction, their co-op tactical first-person shooter that’s set to hit PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC, and Stadia on September 16. Extraction has players assemble their team from the 18 Operators from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege to launch

Last year, developer rose-engine unveiled their pixel-based survival horror title Signalis, which seemed like a combo of survival horror and anime. The game’s back with a new trailer that kicked off the Tribeca Games Spotlight at E3, showing off more aesthetic goodies. It’s already been covered that the game takes inspiration from classic survival horror

Saber Interactive’s action-strategy adaptation of World War Z is the latest title to get a current-gen upgrade, as well as a bevy of new content. Per IGN, World War Z: Aftermath will be hitting PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC later this year for $39.99 (existing WWZ owners can get it as a $19.99 upgrade),

Hulu has been quietly making some huge plays, including acquiring rights to distribute the Hellraiser reimagining that is set to film this summer with David Bruckner (Southbound, V/H/S, The Ritual, The Night House) behind the camera. Without getting too complicated, Hellraiser creator Clive Barker regained his rights through a legal loophole, which was spearheaded by

Home invasion thrillers are inherently terrifying for corrupting the private space designated most for comfort and safety. The terror compounds when the home dweller can’t fight back easily; their vulnerability exacerbates the suspense tenfold—vulnerabilities like blindness. See for Me isn’t the first home invasion thriller to center around a blind character trying to evade the dangerous men

It’s certainly not a horror project but it’s worth noting that we’re being promised “bloodsoaked times” in a brand new The Lords of the Rings animated movie announced tonight. As reported by Deadline, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is on the way from New Line and Warner Animation, a feature

We’ve been promised the first gameplay footage out of Summer Game Fest tomorrow (June 10), but up first we’ve been provided with the official art for Evil Dead: The Game today! The upcoming game features Bruce Campbell as the voice of Ash Williams, plus Ellen Sandweiss‘s Cheryl Williams from The Evil Dead, Marcus Gilbert‘s Arthur from Army

Coming this Fall to SYFY and USA is Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” series, and Mancini has taken to social media tonight to share a short new teaser for Chucky’s small screen debut. Brad Dourif is back as Chucky and Jennifer Tilly is back as Tiffany in “Chucky,” which will continue the storyline from the *original* movies.

Pittsburgh’s premiere horror museum since 2008, The Living Dead Museum is being reanimated as a brand new, expanded museum that’s hosting its grand opening this week! The press release explains, “Living Dead Museum will hold Grand Opening of the new Pittsburgh Horror & Movie Museum in all new Monroeville Mall location on June 12, 2021.”

Ash’s little sister is back for revenge… Coming soon, Evil Dead: The Game will allow you and your friends to blast away Deadites as iconic characters from the franchise, and today we’ve learned that Ash’s sister Cheryl Williams (played by Ellen Sandweiss in Sam Raimi‘s original classic) will be a playable character! Check out your

It’s a music kind of day here on Bloody Disgusting, with two of my personal favorite bands dropping singles on the same day. (I’m not quite sure that’s ever happened before so I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.) Digressing, if you’ve never heard of Kristina Esfandiari, she’s a super talent who refuses to be

Released a few weeks ago on Netflix, Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead is the kind of big-budget, no-holds-barred romp that we don’t see too often in the horror genre. One that has the luxury of indulging in massive, CG assisted set-pieces, copious lashings of gore, and all of its directors’ eccentric ideas, as well

Video games have been a constant source of joy in my life, but my enjoyment hardly expanded into the horror genre for the longest time. My earliest memories tend to revolve around the various Mario games I owned on the Nintendo 64, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, Mario Party 2, and Super Smash

Would my horror journalist accreditation be revoked if I didn’t update my ranking of Warner Brothers’ Conjuring Universe (“Conjurverse,” to me) with every new canonical release? Of course not (because that’s not a real thing), but why not dissect totem dolls, sisterly sinners, and more possessions than Ash Williams could shake his boomstick at. What
