Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Doing just enough to please the fans of the original, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come has an overreliance on familiarity, which dulls its sparkle a little too much. ” – THN Mar 20, 2026 Full Review He Bled Neon (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Neon has truly never looked better on screen than in Drew Kirsch’s He Bled Neon. A feature debut that shows plenty of promise, this engaging crime Vegas crime thriller is certainly worth keeping an eye out for. ” – THN Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Imposters (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Venturing into directions not revealed in its synopsis, Imposters grips the viewer from its cold open to its twisty truths, becoming a fantastic example of parental nightmares done right. ” – THN Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Fifteen (2026) 4/5 EDIT “A monstrous tale of the bond of friendship and the pain its dissolution can bring, Fifteen is equal parts Ginger Snaps and Eighth Grade, making it a coming-of-age horror that nails both the high-school politics and the horror. ” – THN Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Protein (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A decade of hard work pays off for director Tony Burke, with Protein a fascinating study of a broken and depraved mind. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Bogieville (2024) 3/5 EDIT “An interesting take on the vampire film, Bogieville is very much not the film it would lead you to believe, the result being a mixed bag of peaks and troughs. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Noseeums (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Conflicting storylines battle for dominance in what is otherwise a soundly made movie. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review He Kills at Night (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Far more than The Hitcher as Christmas, He Kills at Night is a tension fuelled nightmare whose final destination is certainly worth the ride. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Don't Let the Cat Out (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Not quite as fun as the premise teases and tonally a tad loose in formation, Don’t Let the Cat Out is greatest when leaning into its camper and more outrageous side. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Death Cycle (2025) 3/5 EDIT “With little plot or character propulsion, Death Cycle gets over the finish line thanks to some inventive methods of torture, a killer soundtrack, and a whiplash inducing pace. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The Confession (2025) 3/5 EDIT “As intriguing as the story subversions are, The Confession remains a fairly standard and generic genre offering. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The Caretaker (2025) 4/5 EDIT “It is clear that a lot of care and attention has gone into The Caretaker’s construction and the result is a film that, although not overtly horror, creates a horribly unsettling atmosphere. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The Arborist (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A film bathed in overwhelming tragedy and emotional devastation, The Arborist is on heck of an emotionally fraught haunted folk horror. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review A Blind Bargain (2025) 3/5 EDIT “A beautiful, but somewhat confusing, movie A Blind Bargain is a visual delight, but the audience needs a little more purchase to fully invest. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Jan Komasa continues to be a director of interest with The Good Boy, a film that is far more exciting and deep than its basic premise suggests. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Never After Dark (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Some well crafted atmosphere and an intriguing new movie psychic help keep Never After Dark on safe ground. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Bury the Devil (2026) 4/5 EDIT “An interesting opening act into what could be a rather exciting trilogy, Bury the Devil is a white-knuckle juggernaut that is sure to get the horror crowd going. ” – THN Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Kill Me (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Playing like a really depressive rom-com, Kill Me offers an intriguing, though slightly predictable mystery, led by a subdued but sturdy performance from Charlie Day. ” – THN Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Grind (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “A rare example of an anthology with no weak links, the universal appeal of Grind’s subject matter ensures it will entertain any and all that settle down to watch it. ” – THN Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Overall a slapstick cartoonish and silly comedy in the vein of Slither, Cold Storage is a film that sticks to surface level entertainment, never venturing deep enough to fully hook the audience. ” – THN Mar 8, 2026 Full Review Yakin Jiken: The Convenience Store (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Due to its confusing narrative, The Convenience Store is one for fans of the game only, with everyone else likely to be left scratching their heads. ” – THN Mar 8, 2026 Full Review Red Riding (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Red Riding takes a familiar story, subverts aspects, and filters it through the depressing British melodrama genre, blending with conventional horror to create a movie that becomes increasingly more uncomfortable to endure. ” – THN Mar 8, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 3/5 EDIT “The mean Ghostface kills return alongside the franchise’s original final girl, but despite everyone’s best efforts, Scream 7 is stuck in cruise control and doesn’t offer anything new or remarkable. ” – Film Disclosure Feb 26, 2026 Full Review The Incomer (2026) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Quirky, but heart-warming and charming to a fault, The Incomer is a wonderful mix of fairy tale and comedy; a film that will make your ribs sore and your heart soar. ” – THN Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Corin Hardy’s Whistle is a perfect blend of the filmmaker and fiction, his personal flourishes and touches fleshing out a killer story to create a teen horror that cuts deep. ” – THN Feb 9, 2026 Full
