★★1/2 While this road trip horror mostly follows a tired and predictable route, two strong lead performances and Ovredal's knock for crafting real scares and a creepy atmosphere keep it from veering completely off course.
Passenger (2026)
Obsession (2026)
★★★★ Curry Barker's wickedly funny and deliciously disturbing spin on the classic monkey paw tale warns us to be careful what we wish for, as our cowardly protagonist finally receives the affection he craves with horrific results.
Hokum (2026)
★★★★ With Adam Scott's sceptical fish-out-of-water protagonist occupying a spooky Irish hotel room, Damian McCarthy's spine-tingling folk horror conjures up the scares and atmosphere reminiscent of a classic Hammer production.
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026)
★★★ Horror auteur Lee Cronin breathes fresh life into the classic movie monster, but despite an abundance of gross-out gore and high domestic stakes, the story drags and unravels into a gruesome, bloody mess.
Undertone (2026)
★★★ This aural supernatural chiller smartly taps into the world of modern podcasts to create a genuine sense of dread. Unfortunately, this potentially spooky flick is undone by a lack of scares and an underwhelming ending.
They Will Kill You (2026)
★★★ This ultra-violent action-horror may revisit well-worn territory, but with Zazie Beetz tearing up the screen and a premise that channels the wild spirit of classic cult B-movies, it delivers a riotous, gleeful ride.
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.
