WE BURY THE DEAD \u2013 Theatrical, January 2<\/p>\n
From Zak Hilditch, writer\/director of the Stephen King adaptation\u00a01922<\/a>, comes \u201ca story about grief, loss, and the undead.\u201d Daisy Ridley of the Star Wars franchise takes on the role of Ava,\u00a0a desperate woman whose husband is missing in the aftermath of a catastrophic military experiment. Hoping to find him alive, Ava joins a \u201cbody retrieval unit,\u201d but her search takes a chilling turn when the corpses she\u2019s burying start showing signs of life. Ridley is joined in the cast by Brenton Thwaites (Titans) and Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin). JoBlo\u2019s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to see the movie a while back and wasn\u2019t overly impressed by it (you can read his 6\/10 review\u00a0HERE<\/a>), writing that \u201cwith so much zombie content out there, it\u2019s very difficult to add anything new to the genre. Inevitably, this movie doesn\u2019t manage to overcome the familiarity of the genre, but even still, it is mostly entertaining for much of its running time thanks to the ace technical packaging, and good performances from Ridley and Thwaites. It\u2019s solid but unspectacular.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n PRIMATE \u2013 Theatrical, January 9<\/p>\n At the helm of\u00a0Primate\u00a0is genre regular\u00a0Johannes Roberts<\/a>, who has previously directed\u00a0Hellbreeder, Darkhunters, Forest of the Damned, F, Roadkill, Storage 24, The Other Side of the Door, 47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged,\u00a0and\u00a0Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. He also contributed a segment to the horror anthology\u00a0V\/H\/S\/99. Roberts has written the\u00a0Primate\u00a0screenplay with his frequent collaborator Ernest Riera. In this one,\u00a0a group of friends\u2019 tropical vacation turns into a terrifying, primal tale of horror and survival. If you\u2019d like more information on what\u2019s going on, you can check out the 8\/10 review from JoBlo\u2019s own Mike Holtz at\u00a0THIS LINK<\/a>. He described the film as \u201can unapologetic blood bath of fun\u201d that\u2019s about a rabies-crazed chimp. Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur (CODA) stars\u00a0alongside Johnny Sequoyah (Dexter: New Blood), Jessica Alexander\u00a0(Amadeus),\u00a0Victoria Wyant\u00a0(My Fault: London),\u00a0Benjamin Cheng (d\u2019ILLUSION: The Houdini Musical),\u00a0Gia Hunter\u00a0(Sherlock and Daughter),\u00a0Miguel Torres Umba\u00a0(National Theatre co-production\u00a0Kin),\u00a0Kae Alexander\u00a0(Ready Player One),\u00a0Tienne Simon\u00a0(Grime Kids),\u00a0Charlie Mann\u00a0(Lazarus),\u00a0newcomer Amina Abdi,\u00a0and\u00a0Albert Magashi\u00a0(National Theatre Live: Dear England).<\/p>\n 28 YEARS LATER PART II: THE BONE TEMPLE \u2013 Theatrical, January 16<\/p>\n 28 Days Later director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland finally reunited to make a sequel to their zombie (or, if you prefer, infected people) movie classic. 28 Years Later, which was meant to launch a whole trilogy of 28 Days Later sequels, reached theatres at the end of June 2025, and the second chapter in the trilogy, 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple, will help us kick off the new year. Garland also wrote the screenplays for the sequels that will come after 28 Years Later, but Boyle passed the helm over to Candyman and The Marvels director Nia DaCosta for the sequel. (He might circle back for the trilogy capper.) A lot of viewers seemed to find 28 Years Later to be underwhelming, but the first reactions to the sequel have described the new film as brutal, bonkers, and brilliant.<\/p>\n KILLER WHALE \u2013 Theatrical, Digital, and VOD,\u00a0January 16\u00a0<\/p>\n Virginia Gardner of Halloween, Fall, and A Breed Apart dives into aquatic horror with Killer Whale, which was directed by Jo-Anne Brechin from a screenplay she crafted with Katharine E. McPhee (no, that Katharine McPhee is not the same person as the singer who was on\u00a0American Idol.) The synopsis: Hold your breath as you witness revenge rise from the deep. After a life-shattering tragedy, Trish tries to comfort her best friend, Maddie, by taking her on a spectacular adventure in a private lagoon halfway across the world. Their peaceful retreat soon becomes a terrifying fight to stay alive when the ocean\u2019s most bloodthirsty predator seeks vengeance for a brutal life in captivity. Mel Jarnson (Mortal Kombat), Mitchell Hope (Descendants), Ron Smyck (Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire), Scott James George (Thor: Love and Thunder), Isaac Crawley (Sacrifice), Aliandra Calabrese (Joe vs. Carole), and Mia Grunwald (Designing Christmas with You) round out the cast.<\/p>\n NIGHT PATROL \u2013 Theatrical, January 16<\/p>\n Starring Jermaine Fowler (The Blackening), Justin Long (Tusk), wrestler CM Punk (Girl on the Third Floor),\u00a0Dermot Mulroney\u00a0(Young Guns), RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), Freddie Gibbs (Down With The King), YG (White Boy Rick), Flying Lotus (Ash), Jon Oswald (Lowlife), and Nicki Micheaux (Lowlife), director Ryan Prows\u2019 Night Patrol\u00a0follows\u00a0an LAPD officer (Fowler) who must put aside his differences with the area\u2019s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in. Long plays the officer\u2019s partner, recruited as a legacy into night patrol. Cyler stars as the officer\u2019s brother, who sees what he isn\u2019t supposed to see, while Mulroney plays Long\u2019s character\u2019s father, a sergeant with many secrets. Punk rounds out the cast as the sergeant\u2019s brutal right-hand man. Prows wrote the script with Shaye Ogbonna, Tim Cairo, and Jake Gibson.\u00a0This quartet previously collaborated on the screenplay for Prows\u2019 feature directorial debut, the quirky crime thriller\u00a0Lowlife<\/a>.<\/p>\n RETURN TO SILENT HILL \u2013 Theatrical, January 23<\/p>\n Brotherhood of the Wolf<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Silent Hill\u00a0director Christophe Gans\u2019 new\u00a0Silent Hill\u00a0movie Return to Silent Hill, which is said to be \u201ctotally independent from the two previous movies\u201d in the film franchise, is based on the video game\u00a0Silent Hill 2. The story\u00a0follows\u00a0James, a man broken after being separated from his one true love. When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil. As James descends deeper into the darkness, he encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new and begins to question his own sanity as he struggles to make sense of reality and hold on long enough to save his lost love. The film stars Jeremy Irvine (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again)\u00a0and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw).<\/p>\n UNTITLED HOME INVASION ROMANCE \u2013 Digital, January 27<\/p>\n Directed by American Pie legend Jason Biggs, who also stars in the film, the comedy thriller Untitled Home Invasion Romance (that does seem to be the final title) will tell us the following story: With his marriage on the rocks, Kevin whisks his wife Suzie away on a romantic getaway with a wildly misguided plan: fake a break-in and play the hero. But when things spiral and someone turns up dead, Kevin finds himself at the center of a murder investigation, with lies piling up faster than the alibis. Biggs\u2019s co-stars include Meaghan Rath (Hawaii Five-0), Anna Konkle (PEN15), Justin H. Min (Beef), and Arturo Castro (Broad City).<\/p>\n SEND HELP \u2013 Theatrical, January 30<\/p>\n Rachel McAdams reteams with her\u00a0Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness\u00a0director Sam Raimi\u00a0for a \u201creally outrageous\u201d survival horror thriller from the writers of Freddy vs. Jason<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Friday the 13th\u00a02009, Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. (With some revisions by A Quiet Place\u00a0writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.) Deadline mentioned, \u201cthe film is described as a two-hander horror thriller set on an island, falling somewhere between Rob Reiner\u2019s Stephen King adaptation\u00a0Misery and Robert Zemeckis\u2019 classic\u00a0Castaway.\u201d They reported that the film is\u00a0a survival horror thriller about two colleagues who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it\u2019s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. McAdams is joined in the cast by Dylan O\u2019Brien (The Maze Runner), Chris Pang (Interior Chinatown), and Dennis Haysbert (24).<\/p>\n WORLDBREAKER \u2013 Theatrical, January 30<\/p>\n \u00a0Brad Anderson, whose credits include\u00a0Session 9\u00a0and\u00a0The Call, directed the sci-fi action creature feature Worldbreaker, which is described as being \u201ca pulse-pounding sci-fi action thriller about survival, sacrifice, and a young woman\u2019s fight to step out of the shadows and into the war she was born to face.\u201d Here\u2019s the synopsis:\u00a0After the Breakers rose\u2014monsters that infect and twist their victims\u2014men fell first, leaving women to lead the fight.

With Breakers closing in, Willa must rely on her father\u2019s training and her own courage to survive.\u00a0The stars Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil), Luke Evans (Beauty and the Beast), Billie Boullet (The Worst Witch), and Mila Harris (Coyotes).<\/p>\n IRON LUNG \u2013 Theatrical, January 30<\/p>\n Content creator and entrepreneur Markiplier has written, directed, and self-financed a horror film based on the video game Iron Lung, created by David Szymanski, and he also stars in the movie. Here\u2019s the synopsis, straight from Markiplier:\u00a0The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only individuals aboard space stations or starships were left to give the end a name \u2014 The Quiet Rapture. After decades of decay and crumbling infrastructure, the Consolidation of Iron has made a discovery on a barren moon designated AT-5. An ocean of blood.\u2028Hoping to discover desperately needed resources they immediately launch an expedition. A submarine is crafted and a convict is welded inside. Due to the pressure and depth of the ocean the forward viewport has been encased in metal. If successful, they will earn their freedom. If not, another will follow. This will be the 13th expedition.\u00a0Markiplier is also self-distributing the film, aiming to get it into 50 to 100 independent theaters on its opening weekend.<\/p>\n GRIZZLY NIGHT\u00a0\u2013 Digital and VOD,\u00a0January 30<\/p>\n Directed by Burke Doeren,\u00a0Grizzly Night\u00a0is a fact-based \u201cnature run amok\u201d movie with the following synopsis:\u00a0Based on true events, this terrifying survival thriller follows a rookie park ranger thrust into the fight of her life when Glacier National Park becomes the scene of deadly grizzly attacks. As panic spreads and communication breaks down, she must lead a group of frightened strangers through the darkness, confronting both the untamed wilderness and her own fears. What begins as a quiet summer evening turns into a night of chaos that changes the nation\u2019s understanding of wildlife forever. Charles Esten\u00a0(Outer Banks),\u00a0Brec Bassinger\u00a0(Stargirl), Oded Fehr (The Mummy), Jack Griffo (The Thundermans), Josh Zuckerman (Oppenheimer), Joel Johnstone (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), and Matt Lintz (Ms. Marvel) star.<\/p>\n TWISTED \u2013 Digital, February<\/p>\n Originally announced under the title The Monster, this horror thriller from director Darren Lynn Bousman\u00a0(who\u2019s best known for directing\u00a0Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV,\u00a0and\u00a0Spiral: From the Book of Saw) tells the story of two millennials who make quick money by leasing incredible New York City apartments they don\u2019t own to people who don\u2019t know they are being scammed. The con works brilliantly until they run into an apartment owner with a dark secret who flips the game on them.\u00a0Djimon Hounsou of A Quiet Place Part II\u00a0and\u00a0A Quiet Place: Day One stars alongside Lauren LaVera, who played heroine Sienna in\u00a0Terrifier 2\u00a0and\u00a0Terrifier 3, Alicia Witt (Longlegs), Gina Philips (Jeepers Creepers), Neal McDonough (Band of Brothers), Mia Healey (The Wilds), Michael Lombardi (The Deuce), David Call (Insidious: The Red Door), Victor Del Rio (Precognito), Cedric Benjamin (Luke Cage), Zac Jaffee (Hustlers), Ren\u00e9s Rivera (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Hari Bhaskar (First Shift), Kristina Krasniqi (Celebrity Ghost Stories), and rapper Jacob Lukas Anderson,\u00a0a.k.a. Prof.<\/p>\n DRACULA: A LOVE TALE \u2013 Theatrical, February 6<\/p>\n Director Luc Besson\u2019s \u201cbig-budget reimagining\u201d of the Dracula concept\u00a0was given a theatrical release in the summer of 2025, but won\u2019t be reaching North American theatres until February. The story follows Dracula as he connects with a woman in Belle Epoque Paris, who resembles his beloved wife Elisabeta, who died in mid-15th century Transylvania. Per legend, it was Elisabeta\u2019s suicide that led Romanian ruler Prince Vlad III (the real-life inspiration for Dracula) to forsake God and embrace life as a vampire. The action moves between time and the settings of Dracula\u2019s castle in Romania\u2019s Transylvanian Mountains and Belle Epoque Paris, which substitutes Stoker\u2019s original UK settings of Whitby and London. The Paris-set scenes in the second part of the film unfold in the lead up to July 14, 1989, as the city gears up to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. The title character is played by Caleb Landry Jones, who just worked with Besson on his previous film,\u00a0Dogman<\/a>.<\/p>\n THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 3 \u2013 Theatrical, February 6<\/p>\n Director\u00a0Renny Harlin<\/a>\u00a0shot an entire trilogy of\u00a0Strangers\u00a0movies at the same time, and while there was a point when it looked like Lionsgate might be releasing all three of the movies within 2024, that idea was clearly pushed aside.\u00a0The Strangers: Chapter 1\u00a0(read our review\u00a0HERE<\/a>) reached theatres back in May of 2024, and\u00a0The Strangers: Chapter 2\u00a0(read that review\u00a0HERE<\/a>) didn\u2019t come along until September of 2025. Thankfully, the wait for The Strangers: Chapter 3 won\u2019t be as long. Madelaine Petsch (Riverdale) stars in this trilogy and is joined in the cast by the likes of Richard Brake (31), Froy Gutierrez (Cruel Summer), Rachel Shenton\u00a0(All Creatures Great and Small), Gabriel Basso (Hillbilly Elegy), and\u00a0Ema Horvath\u00a0(The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power).\u00a0The Strangers: Chapter 1\u00a0centered on Petsch\u2019s character as\u00a0she drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they\u2019re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers. Lionsgate plans from there to expand the story in new and unexpected ways with its sequels.\u00a0Here\u2019s the synopsis for\u00a0Chapter 3:\u00a0This final chapter delves into newer and darker territory, the franchise\u2019s darkest descent yet \u2014 a ruthless thriller with scares that deliver.\u00a0The Strangers: Chapter 3\u00a0closes the trilogy with a full-circle reckoning that expands the mythology of the iconic masked killers. Madelaine Petsch returns as Maya for the Final Girl\u2019s long-awaited vengeance, delivering a final chapter that fans won\u2019t want to miss. Tethered by a frightening conclusion, Maya and the Strangers are locked on an unavoidable, unforgiving collision course \u2014 a showdown that proves they\u2019re far from strangers now.<\/p>\n WHISTLE \u2013 Theatrical, February 6<\/p>\n Dafne Keen of\u00a0Logan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0His Dark Materials\u00a0and Sophie N\u00e9lisse of\u00a0Yellowjackets<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Book Thief\u00a0star in\u00a0Whistle, the latest horror film from\u00a0The Hallow\u00a0and\u00a0The Nun\u00a0director Corin Hardy. Scripted by Owen Egerton from his own short story,\u00a0Whistle\u00a0has the following synopsis:\u00a0A misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. They discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down. As the body count rises, the friends investigate the origins of the deadly artifact in a desperate effort to stop the horrifying chain of events that they have set in motion. Keen and N\u00e9lisse are joined in the cast by Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (Wednesday), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).\u00a0<\/p>\n PSYCHO KILLER \u2013 Theatrical, February 20<\/p>\n Psycho Killer is based on a screenplay written by\u00a0Se7en\u00a0scribe Andrew Kevin Walker. Gavin Polone, producer of\u00a0Zombieland\u00a0and the Walker-scripted\u00a08MM,\u00a0is at the helm of the film, with Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) and Logan Miller (Escape Room) in lead roles and\u00a06\u20195\u2033+ former professional wrestler James Preston Rogers\u00a0in the title role. Campbell is taking on the role of\u00a0Jane Thorne, a police officer who makes it her mission to take down a serial killer referred to on the news as the \u2018Satanic Slasher,\u2019 following the murder of her state trooper husband. We had previously heard that Miller\u2019s character is\u00a0Marvin, a goth-type nebbish who works for the mysterious Pendleton in his massive mansion. Pendleton is so mysterious, Deadline didn\u2019t even explain who they were referencing when they dropped that description. Months later, in their release date report, they credited Miller with playing the ill-fated state trooper husband\u2026 so this movie is so shrouded in mystery, even Deadline is confused.<\/p>\n THIS IS NOT A TEST \u2013 Theatrical, February 20<\/p>\n Director Adam MacDonald (Backcountry, Pyewacket, Out Come the Wolves) teams with Totally Killer and Heart Eyes star Olivia Holt for an apocalyptic horror thriller that\u2019s based on a YA novel by bestselling author Courtney Summers and described as \u201cThe Breakfast Club\u00a0meets\u00a028 Weeks Later.\u201d The film follows\u00a0Sloane 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.\u00a0Holt is joined in the cast by Froy Gutierrez (The Strangers: Chapter 1), Luke MacFarlane (Bros), Corteon Moore (Overcompensating), Chloe Avakian (John Wayne Gacy), and Carson MacCormac (Clown in a Cornfield).<\/p>\n SCREAM 7 \u2013 Theatrical, February 27<\/p>\n After a behind-the-scenes shake-up that saw the exit of Scream (2022) and Scream VI stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega from the franchise (along with the director who was originally signed to direct Scream 7, Christopher Landon), this slasher sequel has been reworked to focus on original heroine Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell. Original Scream writer Kevin Williamson directed the film, working from a screenplay by returning writer Guy Busick, who crafted the story with his co-writer on the fifth and sixth films, James Vanderbilt. Campbell is joined in the cast by Isabel May (1883), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Grace\u2019s\u00a0Ghostbusters\u00a0co-star Celeste O\u2019Connor, Asa Germann (Gen V),\u00a0Sam Rechner (The Fabelmans),\u00a0Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect),\u00a0Mark Consuelos (Riverdale), fellow franchise star Courteney Cox, Joel McHale (Community), and Ethan Embray (The Devil\u2019s Candy). Although two of the \u201ccore four\u201d characters established in the previous two movies are no longer around, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown are back\u2026 and so are Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley, who played Ghostface killers in the original\u00a0Scream\u00a0and\u00a0Scream 3, respectively, and did not appear to make it out of those movies alive. David Arquette is also back as the dearly departed Dewey, who exited the world of the living in the fifth movie. It hasn\u2019t been revealed how these dead characters are making a comeback.<\/p>\n THE BRIDE! \u2013 Theatrical, March 6<\/p>\n Writer\/director Maggie Gyllenhaal<\/a>\u2018s The Bride! is a new take on the concept of the 1935 classic The Bride of Frankenstein. Starring Peter Sarsgaard (Garden State), Penelope Cruz (Vanilla Sky), Annette Bening (American Beauty), Julianne Hough (Rock of Ages), John Magaro (September 5), Jeannie Berlin (The Heartbreak Kid), and Gyllenhaal\u2019s brother Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), with Jessie Buckley (Men) as The Bride and Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) as Frankenstein\u2019s Monster, The Bride!\u00a0has the following synopsis:\u00a0A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement.\u00a0Bening plays Dr. Euphronius. Sarsgaard has denied the rumors that the movie is a musical, but also admitted that there are some dance routines.<\/p>\n TOUCH ME \u2013 Theatrical, March 20<\/p>\n Written and directed by Addison Heimann, Touch Me is described as being \u201ca wacky, wild, sensual homage to Japanese exploitation films.\u201d Starring Olivia Taylor Dudley (The Magicians), Lou Taylor Pucci (Evil Dead), Jordan Gavaris (Orphan Black), Marlene Forte (A Haunted House), and Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds), it tells the story of two cringe millennials, Joey and Craig, who do everything in their power to do absolutely nothing. Of course they have capital T childhood trauma, but so does everyone, so like, judge them however you like. Seriously, JUDGE THEM. One regular day, Joey\u2019s super hot alien ex, Brian, comes back into town begging for her to forgive him and come back to his desert mansion for the weekend. With nothing better to do (and also a pretty unfortunate sewer explosion in Craig\u2019s house), the two trepidatiously accept. Also the fact that Brian\u2019s slimy sexual tentacle appendage removes anxiety and depression maybe helps solidify their decision. But at the house, under Brian\u2019s veneer of healing is a sinister plot filled with murder, mayhem, and blood. Then again, maybe they can all get along in the most glorious throuple you\u2019ve ever seen. A press release lets us know that this is \u201ca psychosexual horror-comedy with 100% old-school practical effects, about the nature of co-dependent friendships and how far we are willing to go for a slice of happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME \u2013 Theatrical, March 27<\/p>\n Six years ago, genre regular Samara Weaving starred in a very cool horror comedy called\u00a0Ready or Not, which was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who went on to make the two most recent\u00a0Scream\u00a0sequels and the \u201cDracula\u2019s daughter\u201d movie\u00a0Abigail<\/a>.\u00a0Now, the team has come back together for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, where Weaving is joined in the cast by Kathryn Newton (who worked with the directors on\u00a0Abigail), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings), Shawn Hatosy (The Faculty), N\u00e9stor Carbonell (Lost), Kevin Durand (also from\u00a0Abigail), Kara Wooten (Revival), Juan Pablo Romero (Please, After You), Varun Saranga (Wynonna Earp), Masa Lizdek (Simulant), Nadeem Umar-Khitab (Wedding Season), Daniel Beirne (Ginny & Georgia), Antony Hall (Run the Burbs), Olivia Cheng (Warrior), and legendary filmmaker David Cronenberg.\u00a0Moments after surviving an all-out attack from the Le Domas family, Grace (Samara Weaving) discovers she\u2019s reached the next level of the nightmarish game \u2014 and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.<\/p>\n THE YETI \u2013 Theatrical and Digital, April 10<\/p>\n From the writing and directing duo of Gene Gallerano and William Pisciotta comes The Yeti, which tells the following story: Merriell Sunday Sr. and Hollis Bannister vanished in Alaska. Ellie and Merriell Jr. mount a search, but an ancient threat stalks their expedition into the wilderness, hunting them as they seek the truth behind the disappearances. Brittany Allen (Dexter: Original Sin), Eric Nelsen (1883), Jim Cummings (The Last Stop in Yuma County), Christina Bennett Lind (The Lonely Man with the Ghost Machine), and Linc Hand (42) star with William Sadler (Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight) and Corbin Bernsen (Major League).<\/p>\n THE MUMMY \u2013 Theatrical, April 17<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the title fool you: this movie is coming our way from New Line Cinema, so it\u2019s a \u201cnew take on the horror trope revolving around the ancient mummified undead\u201d that has nothing to do with the classic Universal horror property (in fact \u2013 don\u2019t be surprised if it gets renamed). Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin teamed with Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions for this one, which Cronin said \u201cwill be unlike any\u00a0Mummy\u00a0movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I\u2019m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.\u201d Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Laia Costa (Victoria), May Calamawy\u00a0(Moon Knight),\u00a0Veronica Falc\u00f3n\u00a0(Queen of the South), Hayat Kamille (Vikings: Valhalla), and\u00a0May Elghety\u00a0(Clash) star.

Last year, film journalist Jeff Sneider reported the rumor that\u00a0Flowervale Street\u00a0happens to be \u201ca dinosaur movie set in the \u201980s,\u201d and The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s sources have said it\u2019s \u201ca family adventure set in the 1980s that involves dinosaurs.\u201d\u00a0We know for sure that it has been directed by\u00a0It Follows\u2018 David Robert Mitchell for Warner Bros.

We\u2019ll see if it sticks with August 14.<\/p>\n CLAYFACE \u2013 Theatrical, September 11<\/p>\n Back in 2021, filmmaker Mike Flanagan let it be known on social media that he was interested in making a \u201cstandalone horror\/thriller\/tragedy\u201d movie that would center on the\u00a0DC Comics Clayface character.\u00a0When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios and launched the DC Universe, he got his chance. Flanagan wrote the screenplay for Clayface, which has been brought to the screen by Speak No Evil\u00a0director James Watkins. Deadline reminds us, \u201cClayface is shape-shifting villain in the Batman comics and got his introduction as part of\u00a0Detective Comics #40. The original Clayface was a moderately successful actor who adopted the identity of a character he\u2019d portrayed in a horror pic after turning to crime. Clayface has a body seemingly made out of clay and has appeared over the years in various films, series, animated works, video games and other forms of media.\u201dTom Rhys Harries (Kandahar) plays the title character and is joined in the cast by Naomi Ackie (I Want to Dance With Somebody)\u00a0 and Max Minghella (Spiral: From the Book of Saw).<\/p>\n RESIDENT EVIL \u2013 Theatrical, September 18<\/p>\n Zach Cregger, writer\/director of\u00a0Barbarian<\/a>\u00a0and the recently released film\u00a0Weapons<\/a>, is directing the new Resident Evil movie for Sony and also wrote the screenplay with Shay Hatten (Army of the Dead) and the story\u00a0apparently harkens back to the original Capcom game\u2019s horror roots.\u00a0Here\u2019s the supposed logline:\u00a0Bryan, a laid-back organ courier, is sent on a late-night delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital. En route through a snowy mountain road, he accidentally hits a strange woman with his car. She survives\u2014but something is very wrong. As he tries to help, Bryan stumbles into a full-blown outbreak involving horrifying tentacle-based mutations and bio-engineered monstrosities.\u00a0Weapons\u00a0cast member Austin Abrams has the lead role and is joined in the cast by Paul Walter Hauser (Cobra Kai), Zach Cherry (Severance), Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country), and Johnno Wilson (I Love That for You). Cherry is said to be playing a scientist at a hospital and Reis plays an ex-military character that was initially written for a male actor. Cregger took the approach of telling an original story with original characters that\u2019s set within the world of the Resident Evil video game franchise because he feels that the stories of the video game characters are already being perfectly told in the games.<\/p>\n OTHER MOMMY \u2013 Theatrical, October 9<\/p>\n Rob Savage moves on from a Stephen King adaptation to a Josh Malerman adaptation, as\u00a0The Boogeyman<\/a>\u00a0director is at the helm of this film adaptation of\u00a0Bird Box<\/a>\u00a0author Malerman\u2019s novel\u00a0Incidents Around the House, which is coming our way from Blumhouse and Atomic Monster.

But soon, Other Mommy\u2019s manifestations become increasingly aggressive, threatening the safety of Bela\u2019s family.<\/p>\n REMAIN \u2013 Theatrical, October 23<\/p>\n The Sixth Sense<\/a>\u00a0director M. Night Shyamalan and\u00a0The Notebook<\/a>\u00a0author Nicholas Sparks have teamed up for the supernatural romantic thriller Remain. They created the original story together, with Shyamalan going off to write a screenplay based on the story while Sparks turned the idea into a novel. As was said at the time, \u201cBoth will be based on the same concept and set of characters but designed for their individual mediums.\u201d The Sparks novel is already on store shelves and is available for purchase at\u00a0THIS LINK<\/a>, sporting the following description:\u00a0A one-of-a-kind novel that grapples with the supernatural mysteries of life, death, and human connection\u2014an unprecedented collaboration between the globally bestselling author of love stories like\u00a0The Notebook\u00a0and the renowned writer and director of blockbuster thrillers like\u00a0The Sixth Sense. When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend\u2019s summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start. Recently discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated for acute depression, he is still wrestling with the pain of losing his beloved sister. Sylvia\u2019s deathbed revelation\u2014that she can see spirits who are still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their family\u2014sits uneasily with Tate, who struggles to believe in more than what reason can explain. But when he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who will challenge every assumption he has about his logical and controlled world. Tate and Wren find themselves forging an immediate connection, one that neither has ever experienced before. But Tate gradually discovers that below the surface of Wren\u2019s idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy, and greed are festering, threatening their fragile relationship just as it begins to blossom. Tate realizes that in order to free Wren from an increasingly desperate fate, he will need to unearth the truth about her past before time runs out . . . a quest that will make him doubt whether we can ever believe the stories we tell about ourselves, and the laws that govern our existence. Love\u2014while transformative\u2014can sometimes be frightening. A story about the power of transcendent emotion,\u00a0Remain\u00a0asks us all: Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death?\u00a0Shyamalan\u2019s film stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), Julie Hagerty\u00a0(Airplane),\u00a0Jay O.

Information found on the\u00a0Living Dead Media website<\/a>\u00a0reveals:\u00a0Our reboot of\u00a0Return of the Living Dead\u00a0will expand the existing world created by the original 5 films, while staying true to the R-rated, sci-fi, horror, dark comedy roots adored by fans of the cult classic around the world for the last 35 years. \u200bWe are excited to resurrect this storied franchise for current fans and new generations of zombie fans.\u00a0Here\u2019s the set up:\u00a0Taking place 18 months after the events at the UNEEDA Warehouse in Louisville, KY, a new Trioxin 2-4-5 leak puts a small Pennsylvania town on the brink of a zombie outbreak during Christmas, 1985. If surviving a zombie outbreak isn\u2019t hard enough, the characters and the Army will have to also contend with blizzard conditions. This Christmas, it\u2019s Tarman who will be coming to town. Devon Sawa (Final Destination) plays a character named Isaac Horton in the film, with Casimere \u201cCash\u201d Jollette (Tiny Pretty Things) as Delilah Horton and Kynlee Heiman (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever) as Sophia Horton.\u00a0Alexander Ward, who has played \u201cdemons, monsters and villains\u201d in the likes of\u00a0Teen Wolf, Ghosted, Annabelle Comes Home, Westworld\u00a0and\u00a0American\u00a0Horror\u00a0Story,\u00a0is this project\u2019s version of Tarman.<\/p>\n EBENEZER: A CHRISTMAS CAROL \u2013 Theatrical, November 13<\/p>\n Sure, this movie is likely to be a heartwarming viewing experience fit for the whole family, but the Charles Dickens source material will also give director Ti West, whose filmography has primarily consisted of horror movies up to this point, the opportunity to tell \u201ca thrilling ghost story.\u201d Deadline reminds us,\u00a0the classic Charles Dickens story has seen its fair share of retellings over the years with its tale of an elderly miser visited by the ghost of his former business partner and the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come.\u00a0For his first major studio movie, West will be telling a\u00a0thrilling ghost story set in Dickens\u2019 London, following one man\u2019s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance.\u00a0Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands) plays Ebenezer Scrooge and is joined in the cast by Andrea Riseborough (Mandy),\u00a0Ian McKellen of the\u00a0X-Men\u00a0and\u00a0Lord of the Rings\u00a0franchises, Tramell Tillman (Severance), Daisy Ridley (the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0franchise), Rupert Grint (the\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0franchise), Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones & The Six), Charlie Murphy (Halo), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (Willow).<\/p>\n WERWULF \u2013 Theatrical, December 25<\/p>\n The Witch,\u00a0The Lighthouse,\u00a0The Northman, and\u00a0Nosferatu\u00a0writer\/director\u00a0Robert Eggers has dealt with some dark subject matter over the course of his career \u2013 but the darkest story is yet to come.\u00a0Eggers has written the screenplay for\u00a0Werwulf\u00a0with Sj\u00f3n, his co-writer on the Viking saga\u00a0The Northman. Details are being kept under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s sources told them \u201cthe story is set in 13th century England. The script also features dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated to Old English. Initially, Eggers was planning on shooting the feature in black and white, but that is no longer the case. Suffice to say that considering the setting and the dialect, Eggers is promising another deep dive into a muddy, costumed, and violent time period consistent with his oeuvre which has earned him a loyal film following.\u201c Screen Daily adds that the story centers on\u00a0a mysterious creature who stalks a foggy countryside as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality for the villagers. During a recent Q&A event, Eggers told the audience that his \u201cmedieval werewolf movie\u201d is, \u201cthe darkest thing I\u2019ve ever written, by far.\u201d\u00a0The film is also a Nosferatu reunion for Eggers and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe.<\/p>\n THE BACKROOMS \u2013 Release TBD<\/p>\n Some of today\u2019s biggest genre companies \u2013 A24, James Wan\u2018s Atomic Monster, the Stranger Things makers at 21 Laps, and Planet of the Apes producers Chernin Entertainment \u2013 are joining forces for The Backrooms, which marks the feature directorial debut of teenage director and VFX artist Kane Parsons. The film is based on a series of viral videos Parsons released through his YouTube channel\u00a0Kane Pixels<\/a>. If you were to splice those videos together they would reach feature length, but the feature version of\u00a0The Backrooms\u00a0is going to be something entirely new. The screenplay for the feature has been written by Roberto Patino\u00a0(DMZ). Chiwetel Ejiofor\u00a0(12 Years a Slave) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World) star alongside Mark Duplass (Creep), Finn Bennett (True Detective), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), and Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap)\u00a0<\/p>\n FORBIDDEN FRUITS \u2013 Release TBD<\/p>\n Oscar-winning\u00a0Juno\u00a0writer Diablo Cody, who has also written the genre films\u00a0Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lisa Frankenstein<\/a>, is producing Forbidden Fruits, which marks the feature directorial debut of Meredith Alloway and is an adaptation of the Lily Houghton\u00a0stage play\u00a0Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin, and Through Her We All Die.\u00a0Lili Reinhart\u00a0(Hustlers),\u00a0Lola Tung\u00a0(The Summer I Turned Pretty),\u00a0Victoria Pedretti\u00a0(You),\u00a0Alexandra Shipp\u00a0(Barbie) and newcomer Emma Chamberlain star in the film,\u00a0which has the following synopsis: Free Eden employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours \u2013 with fellow fruits Cherry and Fig. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.<\/p>\n ICE CREAM MAN \u2013 Release TDB<\/p>\n Director Eli Roth had been planning to make a sequel to his slasher movie Thanksgiving in 2025, but when he wasn\u2019t able to get that one into production, he just pivoted over to another horror movie,Ice Cream Man. The film follows\u00a0an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results.\u00a0Plot details are being kept under wraps. Roth directed the film from a screenplay he wrote with Noah Belson, based on \u201can original idea he has had for over twenty years, but studios were too nervous to finance.\u201d Roth\u2019s company The Horror Section<\/a>\u00a0fully financed the film with Media Capital Technologies.<\/p>\n SOULM8TE \u2013 Release TBD<\/p>\n Universal had been given this film, a Blumhouse\/Atomic Monster production that\u2019s set in the universe of the M3GAN films, a theatrical release on January 2 \u2013 but a month before that date, they dropped it from their release schedule and the producers started shopping it around to other distributors. It\u2019s not clear why Universal lost faith in SOULM8TE, although the box office disappointment of M3GAN 2.0 might be to blame. Described as \u201cFatal Attraction\u00a0with robots,\u201d the movie will show us what happens when\u00a0a man acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.\u00a0This \u201c1990s erotic thriller with a new technological twist\u201d stars\u00a0Evil Dead Rise\u00a0actress Lily Sullivan, Claudia Doumit (The Boys), and David Rysdahl (Booger<\/a>.)\u00a0Rysdahl is playing the man, while Sullivan plays the android.\u00a0Details on the role Doumit will be playing have not been revealed. JoBlo\u2019s own Chris Bumbray saw an early preview of the film at CinemaCon last April and reported, \u201cSeems similar to\u00a0Companion<\/a>. Centers on a sexbot that becomes so obsessed with her \u201cowner\u201d that she kills anyone close to him and goes on a murder spree. Looks more violent (and kinkier) than\u00a0M3GAN\u00a0but has the same humor. When a woman she\u2019s about to kill says \u2018Women aren\u2019t supposed to be pitted against each other,\u2019 she answers, \u2018Don\u2019t start that girl power shit with me.\u2019\u201c<\/p>\n TRASH\u2019S REVENGE \u2013 Release TBD<\/p>\n Trash was the character played by scream queen Linnea Quigley in The Return of the Living Dead \u2013 and yes, Quigley is also back for\u00a0Trash\u2019s Revenge.\u00a0Her Return\u00a0co-stars Beverly Randolph, Thom Mathews, Miguel A. N\u00fa\u00f1ez Jr., John Philbin, and Drew Deighan are also in the cast. Plus, the late James Karen and Don Calfa are going to be resurrected through the use of CGI! Eric Roberts and Michelle Bauer are in the cast as well, along with Andrew Pierson, playing a Elon Musk type character named Nathan Virel; news anchorman Danny Langston; and zombies Kevin Plantz, Dave Knee, and Sean Wolfe. Quigley is producing\u00a0Trash\u2019s Revenge, with Randolph serving as an associate producer and\u00a0Night of the Living Dead\u00a0co-creator John A. Russo co-producing.\u00a0Richard Driscoll is the writer\/director. Here\u2019s what it\u2019s all about:\u00a0As the saga continues decades after the horrific events of the 1985 cult classic, Trash the notorious punk rocker, played by Linnea Quigley, finds herself trapped in a past where fame has faded. Once a rebellious icon, Trash now embraces the persona of a grotesque Norma Desmond from\u00a0Sunset Boulevard, attending conventions to sign autographs while her co-stars rise to greater heights. For Linnea, her legacy as a star of\u00a0Return of the Living Dead\u00a0becomes both a curse and a twisted ticket to notoriety in an industry obsessed with horror and scandal. But when a young filmmaker approaches her to make a documentary with staged re-enactments from the original film to celebrate the film\u2019s 40th Anniversary, Linnea sees an opportunity to reclaim her place in the spotlight no matter the cost. As the documentary delves into her past, a shocking truth emerges:\u00a0Return of the Living Dead\u00a0wasn\u2019t just fiction, part of it was real. Linnea confesses that she still possesses three original cannisters from the film, hidden away in her basement. Cannisters that were never revealed to the public\u2026 until now.\u00a0Here\u2019s a shorter description:\u00a0A punk rocker rises from the dead, hungry for fame and flesh. She heads to Hollywood, manipulating a filmmaker to document her gruesome \u201ccomeback.\u201d Her notoriety and body count grows, leading to a bloody showdown that will decide her fate.<\/p>\n THE YOUNG PEOPLE \u2013 Release TBD<\/p>\n Lola Tung (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Nico Parker (How to Train Your Dragon) star in The Young People, the latest horror film from\u00a0Longlegs\u00a0and\u00a0Keeper\u00a0director Osgood Perkins.

Perkins is directing\u00a0The Young People\u00a0from his own script.
