Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% 7/10 EDIT “It's probably the safest "by the numbers" sequel to a movie you can imagine, and it keeps the quality of the first. ” – DrumDums Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 3/10 EDIT “Slanted is tone deaf, poorly written, and downright insulting at times with the message it's trying to convey. ” – DrumDums Mar 16, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 72% 8/10 EDIT “Undertone takes it's time but boy is the payoff worth it. The viewer is constantly "searching" for the scares, almost sure they will present themselves, and "hearing" the terror quite often.” – DrumDums Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 7.5/10 EDIT “Director Rod Blackhurst knows exactly the type of story he wants to tell, all the way down to the gritty 16 MM visual aesthetic. Dolly feels like a love letter to horror films from the early 70s, especially Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” – DrumDums Mar 7, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 7/10 EDIT “Scream 7 is lean and more to the point than most of the other entries, with a hard focus on family friction and heavy violence. Removing most of the nostalgia baggage is actually new and refreshing, despite the absurdity of the final act. ” – DrumDums Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Honey Bunch (2025) 92% 9/10 EDIT “Honey Bunch is a Prometheus type story, man (or woman) playing God, and the ramifications of that. It has a great twist and final act that really go off the bloody rails in the best way. ” – DrumDums Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 10% 2/5 EDIT “In the end Psycho Killer has lofty ideas and means well in terms of what it's trying to do, but it trips and stumbles constantly throughout the runtime, and comes out the other side looking pretty silly.” – DrumDums Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) 17% 7/10 EDIT “The theme of what fear can do to a town, almost like a virus, is heavily evident, and our main character Maya, played wonderfully by Madelaine Petshe, is the perfect conduit for it. ” – DrumDums Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 54% 6.5/10 EDIT “Luc Besson's attempt almost reaches greatness thanks to an exceptional performance by Caleb Landry Jones, but it does seem too similar to Coppola's masterpiece, and doesn't come close to the heights of that film.” – DrumDums Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 63% 7/10 EDIT “It's shot very well and there are a couple of heavily surprising kills that will definitely be 2026 standouts. I also dug the needle drops that boasted some fun 80s and 90s alt rock. ” – DrumDums Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 9/10 EDIT “What works so well about the great and relatable premise is the story advancements, which could easily be predictable since it could write itself. And the over the top Raimi violence is the icing on top.” – DrumDums Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 3/10 EDIT “The horror visuals and world building look straight out of a video game, and that just doesn't cut it for an actual movie by a major studio. Nothing feels remotely frightening. There's really no great build to the story. ” – DrumDums Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 8/10 EDIT “It's simple in it's plot and intension. Ben the chimp is so fun to watch, and literally steals the show in every scene, picking off the house occupants one by one slasher style. It boasts some gnarly kills as well. ” – DrumDums Jan 10, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “The Plague is an anti-bullying movie with a body horror angle. But you honestly don't even need the horror side of things. The performances and the subject matter are powerful, heartbreaking even. ” – DrumDums Jan 10, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% 6.5/10 EDIT “I was somewhat mesmerized by the restraint in zombie action here, and the performance of Ridley, who does struggle a bit with the American accent. But the themes of the film are quite compelling.” – DrumDums Jan 10, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 7/10 EDIT “As thrillers go, The Housemaid is pretty standard fare. Thankfully Amanda Seyfried elevates the material substantially. ” – DrumDums Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 8/10 EDIT “The Avatar films are so successful because of experience factor. Fire and Ash actually beefs up the characters we should care about, and introduces a new character Varang, one of the best villains in years. ” – DrumDums Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 9/10 EDIT “In a current landscape of redundant biopics, Song Sung Blue is such a breath of fresh air, with some surprisingly shocking moments. Jackman and Hudson have amazing chemistry as well. ” – DrumDums Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “ Bugonia is probably Yorgos' most straight forward/accessible film to date, but it still has that eccentric nature about it. It's a fun little kidnapping story with two ends of the economical spectrum. Stone and Plemmons are so fun to watch. ” – DrumDums Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 2/10 EDIT “Five Nights at Freddy's 2 feels like a doctor's appointment. It's devoid of any tension, heart, hell even a pulse. None of the actors seem to care about the assignment, and can you blame them? This movie felt like a blank piece of construction paper. ” – DrumDums Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “Hamnet is raw emotion, filled with heart, regret, inspiration, and life. The final act will leave you speechless. Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley are mesmerizing and fearless in their roles, giving the best performances I've seen this year.” – DrumDums Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 7.5/10 EDIT “For this new 2025 version, the basic backbone of the original is there, but it's given a modern supernatural jolt, with a commanding leading role by Rohan Campbell (Halloween ends), and focused direction by Mike P. Nelson. Expect bloody fun as well. ” – DrumDums Dec 7, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 5/10 EDIT “Even though there is some enjoyment and one real moment of heart and emotion, the movie ultimately falls flat and doesn't have the crescendos that the first movie has.” – DrumDums Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 49% 8/10 EDIT “It's a perfect slow burn that constantly keeps you guessing, and on edge much like the main protagonist Liz throughout the movie. But really what makes Keeper work so well is just how simple it is, with a constant feeling of dread throughout. ” – DrumDums Nov 17, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 6/10 EDIT “Edgar Wright directing Glen Powell is a no-brainer. It's fun and energetic at times. The big problem is the last act goes off the rails and the film does struggle to keep you invested due to some pacing issues and bloated runtime. ” – DrumDums Nov 12, 2025 Full Review
