Bagworm (2026) 4.5/5 EDIT “Oliver Bernsen’s Bagworm is a gooey, sublime portrait of contemporary meltdowns with a body horror edge. ” – Dread Central Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Ugly Cry (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Emily Robinson’s Ugly Cry is a grounded, dysphoric body horror about the very real cost of fame and success. ” – Dread Central Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Never After Dark (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Never After Dark has a promise, but its haunted house shenanigans soon feel too unoriginal to leave a lasting impact.” – Dread Central Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Grind (2026) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “The anti-capitalist bent of Grind adds nightmarish flavor to the fun yet somewhat uneven modern horror anthology. ” – Dread Central Mar 17, 2026 Full Review This Is Not a Test (2025) 43% 4/5 EDIT “This is Not a Test comes of age in the zombie apocalypse. It’s harrowing, though assuredly not for everyone. ” – Dread Central Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Diabolic (2025) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Daniel J. Philips’ Diabolic is slow-burn religious horror that eventually finds its monstrous (and gory) footing. ” – Dread Central Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 38% 2/5 EDIT “The Mortuary Assistant is yet another video game adaptation that dulls the source material’s terror and ingenuity. ” – Dread Central Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Dreadful (2026) 37% 3.5/5 EDIT “Natasha Kermani’s The Dreadful is insidious, slow-burn Gothic horror and one of the year’s earliest genre delights. ” – Dread Central Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Night Nurse (2026) 76% 2.5/5 EDIT “Georgia Bernstein’s Night Nurse is an atmospheric homage to David Lynch, let down by an uneven script and indifference toward its main players. ” – Dread Central Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “Vera Miao’s Rock Springs starts too familiarly to a fault, but a mid-movie pivot builds to a touching, frighteningly real end. ” – Dread Central Feb 2, 2026 Full Review BURN (2026) 5/5 EDIT “I was in awe, confident I was in the presence of a true, new master of the uncanny. ” – Dread Central Jan 30, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “All You Need is Kill is the year’s first great anime feature. Moving, gruesome, and regularly electric – it’ll blow you away. ” – Dread Central Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Killer Whale (2026) 20% 3/5 EDIT “Jo-Anne Brechin’s Killer Whale has a killer aquatic horror premise, but an uneven tone keeps it from monster movie greatness. ” – Dread Central Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Incomplete Chairs (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “Sickos rejoice. Incomplete Chairs is gonzo midnight goodness.” – Dread Central Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Fall (2022) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Fall is an acrophobic’s nightmare, but it never quite ascends beyond its winning premise. ” – Dread Central Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Don't Let the Cat Out (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Don’t Let the Cat Out is a strange, hypnotic indie that’s feline fresh in its thrills and kills. ” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review It Needs Eyes (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A spooky Gen-Z Creepypasta. Go, indie horror, go! ” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Abigail Before Beatrice (2025) 3/5 EDIT “I don’t use all-timer lightly, but, yeah, Dudley is more than the real deal here” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Parasomnia (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Wild paranormal lore and serious scares render Parasomnia a real winner. ” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review The Woman (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The Woman is an eerie masterclass in surreal thrills and ethereal tension. ” – Dread Central Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Burning (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Burning is heavy, heady work that culls from the genre’s past to spotlight damning, distinctly contemporary fears. ” – Dread Central Oct 18, 2025 Full Review The Holy Boy (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A holy experience in folk horror worth canonizing. ” – Dread Central Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 67% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sam Van Grinsven’s Went Up the Hill is a ghost story that swallowed me whole. ” – Dread Central Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Noise (2024) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “The protracted climax delivers on the title in an unfortunate way—after so much intense build, what we’re left with is just noise” – Dread Central Jul 30, 2025 Full Review The Wailing (2024) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The Wailing wisely modernizes supernatural horror tropes with a generation-spanning tale of heartbreak and terror. ” – Dread Central Jul 24, 2025 Full Review
