Nyctophobia (2024) Review – A Pointless And Shrill Found Footage Disaster
Twin sisters and a power cut lead to 77 minutes of relentless screaming in Nyctophobia (2024). Produced by the RZA, does this Tubi original offer any genuine chills?
Welcome to the heart of Knockout Horror. This is where we keep the hundreds of reviews we’ve written over the years. Let’s be honest: the horror genre is a minefield. For every Hereditary, there are a dozen low-budget disasters waiting to waste your Friday night. That’s where we come in.
We watch the good, the bad, and the absolute trash so you don’t have to. From the latest theatrical blockbusters to the obscurest oddities hiding in the depths of Tubi and Shudder, you’ll find our honest, unpretentious, and jargon-free verdicts right here. No film school lectures, just a horror fan telling you if it’s worth the popcorn.

Robert Morgan makes his feature debut with Stopmotion. While the titular animation is a visual triumph, does the standard horror plot do enough to keep you awake?

Jack Delroy’s Night Owls Halloween special goes horribly wrong in Late Night with the Devil. A fresh, 70s-soaked take on the possession genre that is as fun as it is creepy.

Sydney Sweeney stars as Sister Cecilia in the 2024 religious horror Immaculate. Starting as a slow-burn mystery before descending into total carnage, does it stick the landing?

Michael Sarnoski takes the A Quiet Place franchise to New York for a character-driven prequel. Starring Lupita Nyong’o, is this emotional survival story a worthy addition?
