The long awaited Scary Movie (2026) rebootical reunites the Wayans brothers with Anna Faris and Regina Hall, but it completely fumbles the execution. Weighed down by a severely bloated cast and thirty minutes of joke-free character introductions, it misses obvious parody targets in favour of baffling choices. Faris and Hall still bring the laughs, but you should save your money and wait for streaming.
Marketed as a killer tiger shark film, The Bay (2026) is actually just a dishwater dull drama about unlikable people bailing water out of a sinking boat. If you are looking for actual toothy carnage and b-movie thrills, you need to look elsewhere. This aquatic thriller completely forgets to include the sharks. Skip it and watch Deep Water instead.
Evil Dead Burn (2026) brings the Deadites back for another round of glorious, stomach-turning splatter. While it gets completely bogged down by a sluggish 40-minute setup and a laughably bad CGI climax, the practical gore effects and downright repulsive kills make it a blast for hardcore hounds. Just think of it as a standalone monster movie rather than a true Evil Dead classic.
Renny Harlin’s disastrous reboot trilogy finally comes to a merciful close with The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026). This final entry strips away everything that made the 2008 original a modern classic, replacing genuine terror with mind-numbing repetition and an exhausted performance from Madelaine Petsch. Unless you are a desperate completionist, this is an incredibly easy skip.
Director Johannes Roberts trades the sharks for a killer chimpanzee in Primate (2025). While the script is thin and the human cast is completely unlikable, the movie leans hard into brutal splatter gore and genuine B-movie tension. It takes a minute to get going but once Ben the chimp starts tearing faces off, it becomes a ridiculously fun and visceral watch.
Another week, another round of A24 corporate drama as the studio targets fan-made Backrooms content. Plus, Scary Movie hits VOD with bonus cuts, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil hype, site updates, and what to stream on Shudder and Netflix this week.
As the first Blumhouse movie produced entirely outside the US, No Me Sigas (2025) kicks off with a solid, grimy atmosphere before completely falling off a cliff. What begins as a competent haunted livestreamer setup quickly devolves into a messy cacophony of loud jump scares, terrible CGI, and played-out tropes. It’s free on YouTube, but temper your expectations – this one is strictly for background noise.
It costs nothing to watch on Prime Video, but you should go in with your expectations correctly aligned. Grizzly Night (2026) is a basic survival drama focused on bureaucracy and search parties. If you are in the mood for a relentless, high-octane killer animal feature along the lines of Hungry, you will find this historical trek far too slow but survival fans might just want to check it out.
G Fuel Jump Scare & Stab Stimulant Review: Need a survival pack for your next late-night horror marathon? We put the Ghost Face Jump Scare Collector’s Box and Stab Stimulant flavor to the ultimate test during a brutal, sleepless all-nighter to see if it delivers real focus or just a nasty crash.
From A24 squeezing pennies out of Backrooms fans to Obsession landing on VOD (minus the extras for UK buyers… seriously, not cool), we’ve got plenty to get off our chests. Plus, a look at sneaky streaming drops you probably missed, and how I survived a 24-hour horror marathon fueled by sheer willpower and G Fuel.
A killer premise ruined by cowardly execution. Slanted (2026) promises Cronenberg-style body-horror but delivers a tame, derivative teen drama wearing a cheap rubber mask. Save your money and wait for streaming.

From the monstrous mechanics of the parasitic hive mind to the film’s sharp allegory on racialised class warfare. We break it all down in this Hive ending explained.
