Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

★★★1/2 Though it may not match its predecessor's originality and shock value, this fun comedy-horror sequel cranks up the gore and lore as our blood-soaked bride battles yet another sinister clan of wealthy cultists.

Scream 7 (2026)

★★ Watching Neve Campbell and Matthew Lillard return to the franchise is great fun, but even with its inventive and grisly kills, "Scream 7" misses the sharp wit, nail-biting tension, and clever twists that made the series a genre-defining classic.

Send Help (2026)

★★★1/2 With a committed McAdams and O'Brien at his disposal, Sam Raimi's "Send Help" shines brightest as a wildly entertaining survival thriller, only to lose its footing in the final act when the cult filmmaker's horror roots take over and cloud the narrative.

Primate (2026)

★★★ This bananas creature feature may be instantly forgettable, but there is undeniable fun in watching a frenzied chimpanzee tear through his hapless victims with ruthless and bloody efficiency.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

★★★★1/2 Fiennes and O'Connell deliver riveting performances in this brutal yet unexpectedly hilarious fourth instalment chapter, as Alex Garland's zombie saga fearlessly continues to venture into thrilling new territory.

Him (2025)

★★1/2 The American Football horror flick bursts onto the field with an ambitious, promising kick-off, but tangled messaging and a wobbly tone cause director Justin Tipping to drop the ball well before reaching the blood-soaked end zone.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

★★1/2 Lacking in freights and originality, the film pivots the spotlight onto the Warrens themselves, casting the real-life paranormal investigators as daring pioneers despite their exploits remaining dubious decades later.

Weapons (2025)

★★★★1/2 Weapons tantalises its audience, weaving a Rashomon-inspired structure that pulls you headfirst into Zach Cregger's wild labyrinth of mystery and comical horror.

Together (2025)

★★★★ Alison Brie and Dave Franco deliver career-best performances as a co-dependent couple in this gnarly body horror that is both darkly comedic and memorably unsettling.

Bring Her Back (2025)

★★★★1/2 Sally Hawkins' disturbed and grieving foster parent takes in two unsuspecting teenagers in this grim and unsettling supernatural body horror from the twins behind 2022's "Talk to Me".
