The cold winter months may not be seen as the best months in the movie industry, but one genre that truly never sleeps is the horror genre. And this week is packed with fresh terror.
Here’s all the new horror released February 16 – February 22, 2026!
Screambox is throwing it back to the 1980s with their latest release Blood Barn, a retro-style slasher that aims to evoke the raw, low-budget chaos of 1980s slasher favorites.
Gabriel Bernini’s Blood Barn is now streaming exclusively on Screambox. The brand new slasher has already made its way to the #1 spot on Screambox’s streaming chart this week.
You can also rent Blood Barn ($4.99) on Digital outlets including Prime Video now.
The film embraces the grit and immediacy of low budget filmmaking, prioritizing practical creature effects and the handmade fun of classic cabin-in-the-woods splatter fests. The result is nostalgic and feral, a love letter to do-it-yourself horror and tape-trading cult cinema.
Set during the summer of 1985, Blood Barn follows Josie, a camp counselor who reunites her closest friends for one last weekend together at her family’s secluded barn before they head off to college. What begins as a nostalgic getaway quickly feels off when the group realizes the property has been neglected for years – carrying with it a history Josie would rather forget.
As the weekend unfolds, restless energy, bad decisions, and curiosity about the barn’s past stir something unnatural. Strange and violent events erupt without warning, turning the peaceful escape into chaos when a malevolent force awakens and begins to tear the group apart.
Josie is forced to confront the legacy surrounding the barn before it consumes everyone.
Campy horror-comedy throwback Blood Barn is written and directed by Gabriel Bernini, co-written by Alexandra Jade. The cast includes Chloe Cherry (“Euphoria”), Lena Redford, Bambina, Sam Lanier, Felipe Di Poi, Pierce Campion, and Simon Paris.
Betty Boop slasher Betty’s Revenge starring Hannah Fierman (V/H/S) as the killer Betty is now available to rent ($5.99) or purchase ($9.99) on Prime Video via ITN Distribution.
The indie film follows three college seniors who venture to the abandoned Dizzy Dishes cabaret club while researching its fiery past. They encounter the former owner, Betty — who claims to be half woman, half “something else.” Once the friends get their hands on Betty’s journal of secrets, it’s a race against time as she begins hunting them with the goal of leaving behind a story of trauma that can become the next great bedtime story.
Brett Bentman writes and directs the film, inspired by Betty Boop’s first appearance in the 1930 animated short Dizzy Dishes — which entered the public domain this year.
On a related note, Minnie Mouse slasher Minnie’s Midnight Massacre was also released on Digital this week, from the outfit behind the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey franchise.
Brett Bentman — who also helmed Betty’s Revenge — writes and directs.
After being trapped for two decades in a mouse-infested storm shelter following a cruel bullying prank, a now-grown Minnie is finally unleashed. Consumed by years of isolation and rage, she tracks down her former tormentors during their lakeside camping retreat.
What was meant to be a nostalgic weekend for the group turns into a gruesome fight for survival as Minnie executes her bloody revenge, systematically eliminating them one by one.
Hannah Hueston, Cliff Dean, and Indira Starr star with Tiffany McDonald as Minnie.
Named one of Bloody Disgusting’s 10 Best International Horror Films of 2025, South Korean horror anthology Ghost Train is now available on Digital via Well Go USA.
The film follows Da-kyung, who is desperate to make it as a YouTube content creator; but her failing channel really needs a boost. Her latest plan: explore an allegedly haunted train station.
Her interview with the station master takes her through a horrifying series of chilling tales that may be more true than she could have ever expected.
Joo Hyun-young (“Extraordinary Attorney Woo”), Jeon Bae-soo (The Wailing), and former Golden Child boy band member Choi Bo-min star, with the latter’s performance earning the Potential Award at the Asia Artist Awards. Tak Se-woong directed from a script by Jo Ba-reun (Ghost Mansion). Kim Young-min (Exhuma) produced.
The second installment in the sequel trilogy, Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is now available on Digital at home after a lackluster box office performance.
Look for the 4K UHD SteelBook, Blu-ray, and DVD release on April 21, 2026.
In the continuation of the epic story, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival — the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying. Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship — with consequences that could change the world — and Spike’s encounter with Jimmy becomes a nightmare he can’t escape.
Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry star in The Bone Temple, with Cillian Murphy reprising his 28 Days Later role.
Meagan wrote in her rave review for Bloody Disgusting, “Director Nia DaCosta takes the reins with fearless gusto, making this entry wholly her own while pushing the overarching story and its richly layered themes into darker, grislier, funnier, and more poignant territory.”
Barbarian star Georgina Campbell is tracking a killer in Psycho Killer, a Satanic slasher from Se7en scribe Andrew Kevin Walker (Sleepy Hollow). It’s now playing in theaters.
In the film, “Following the brutal murder of her husband, a Kansas highway patrol officer (Georgina Campbell) sets out on a journey to track down the perpetrator.
“As the hunt progresses, she comes to realize the man responsible (James Preston Rogers) is a sadistic serial killer, and the depth of his mental depravity and his sinister agenda is more twisted than anyone could have imagined.”
Producer Gavin Polone (Zombieland, Panic Room) makes his feature directorial debut.
Psycho Killer also stars Grace Dove (The Revenant), Logan Miller (Escape Room), and Malcolm McDowell (Halloween, A Clockwork Orange), and is produced by Roy Lee, Matt Berenson, Andrew Kevin Walker, and Arnon Milchan, with Martin Moszkowicz, Robert Kulzer, Yariv Milchan, Natalie Lehmann, and Kat Landsberg serving as executive producers.
The Breakfast Club meets 28 Days Later in the zombie outbreak movie This Is Not a Test, which is now playing in theaters from Independent Film Company and Shudder.
Adam MacDonald (Backcountry, Pyewacket) writes and directs This Is Not a Test, based on Courtney Summers‘ 2012 young adult horror novel of the same name.
The film follows Sloane and a small group of her classmates who take cover in their high school to escape their suddenly apocalyptic hometown.
As danger relentlessly pounds on the doors, Sloane begins to see the world through the eyes of people who actually want to live and takes matters into her own hands.
Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes), Froy Gutierrez (The Strangers), Corteon Moore (“From”), Carson MacCormac (Clown in a Cornfield), Chloe Avakian (“Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy”), and Luke MacFarlane (Bros) star in zombie movie This Is Not a Test.
While you wait for director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, a fresh take on the classic tale of The Bride of Frankenstein, The Asylum has unleashed their own mockbuster this week.
The Asylum’s Frankenstein’s Bride was released onto Digital outlets this morning.
In the film from director Erika Duke, “On the day of Frankenstein’s Monster’s wedding, villagers riot and kill him. His bride escapes, vows revenge on the townsfolk responsible, and eventually resurrects the Monster – leading a trail of blood in her wake.”
Emma De Maria, Tayla Cecere, and Nick Launchbury star in Frankenstein’s Bride.
M.L. Miller and Ryan Ebert wrote the screenplay.
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! will release in theaters on March 6 from Warner Bros.
Reuniting “Game of Thrones” stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington star in medieval horror movie The Dreadful, now playing in select theaters and also on VOD outlets.
Set in medieval England, Anne and her domineering mother-in-law Morwen struggle to survive on the outskirts of society. But when a man from Anne’s past returns from war, a curse begins to take shape through a mysterious knight and threatens to destroy them all.
The film is written and directed by Natasha Kermani (Abraham’s Boys, V/H/S/85).
Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden (The Mist) co-stars along with Laurence O’Fuarain (“The Sandman”) and Jonathan Howard (Godzilla: King of the Monsters).
The Dreadful is rated R for “violence/bloody images and a sexual reference.”
Flesh gives birth to flesh in Diabolic, which asks the ominous question: do you feel him? The new religious horror movie is now available on Digital via Brainstorm Media.
Elizabeth Cullen (Elvis) stars as a woman who must return to the fundamentalist compound where she was raised after she is haunted by the vengeful spirit of a cursed witch.
Daniel J. Phillips (Awoken) directed from a script he co-wrote with Mike Harding.
John Kim (“The Librarians”), Mia Challis (“Outer Banks”), Robin Goldsworthy, Genevieve Mooy, Terence Crawford (The Babadook), and Luca Asta Sardelis also star.
A mother travels through the multiverse in pursuit of vengeance in Redux Redux.
Written and directed by brothers Kevin McManus & Matthew McManus (The Block Island Sound), the sci-fi revenge thriller is now playing in select theaters via Saban Films.
Here’s the synopsis: “In an attempt to avenge her daughter’s death, Irene Kelly travels through parallel universes, killing her daughter’s murderer over and over again. With each kill, she grows addicted to the revenge streak, putting her own humanity in jeopardy.”
Michaela McManus (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), newcomer Stella Marcus, Jeremy Holm (“Mr. Robot”), Jim Cummings (Halloween Kills), Taylor Misiak (“Dave”), and Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”) star in Redux Redux.
“Redux Redux takes the tired multiverse concept and makes it feel fresh through its gritty, grounded approach and tautly wound storytelling,” Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of SXSW. “Slickly directed and cleverly told, Redux Redux makes for a dread-soaked and pleasantly unpredictable surprise of an indie sci-fi thriller.”
