Tired of all the sickly sweet Christmas movies? We’ve got the perfect antidote. Get ready for Knockout Horror’s 31 Days of Christmas Horror, the ultimate festive fright movie marathon! We’re serving up a daily dose of terror, from killer Santas to haunted advent calendars, right up to New Year’s Eve.
Famed horror critic Chris Stuckmann has finally made his own horror movie, Shelby Oaks (2024). But after a career spent criticising genre films, does his own directorial debut put its money where its mouth is? We dive into the hugely promising (and genuinely creepy) mockumentary first half… and the baffling, “head-scratching” slide into generic horror 101 that follows. Read our full review.
Think you’ve seen it all? After Tubi’s Match (2025) got us thinking about really nasty films, we’ve curated a list of 30 truly shocking and disturbing movies. We’ve tiered them from 😬 (Disturbing Fun) to ☠️ (Nearly Unwatchable). How far down the list can you get?
Yes, we’re talking about that scene. And the other one. And the rat trap. The Tubi horror Match (2025) is an absolute filth-fest. If you survived it, we’re here to explain exactly what happened in that horrifying ending. You’ll need this.
We sat through the very slow first hour of Bone Lake (2024) so you’d know what to expect. This psycho-thriller about two couples at a lake house tests your patience… before rewarding it with an absolutely bonkers splatter-horror finale. Is the gory payoff worth the wait? Read our review.
Watched the Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) remake on Hulu and were left wondering what the hell was going on? Who was Polly? What was her real connection to Caitlin? And what did that creepy final shot of Emma mean? We’re here to explain the entire muddled plot, the meth, and that bleak, traumatic ending…
Ever wonder what May would be like if it was distinctly more British? Well, Broken Bird (2024) is here to answer that question. It features a fantastic, quirky lead, but is the performance enough to save a snail-paced film with shoehorned scares? Read our full review…
Let’s be honest, the werewolf is the problem child of horror. For every An American Werewolf in London, there are a dozen cheap, cringey sequels. But when they’re good, they’re great. We’re digging through the bin-fire and ranking 25 recent werewolf films from the yelpingly bad to the howlingly good. Grab your silver bullets and see which movie comes out as top dog!
We’re closing out our 31 Days of Halloween with a true cult classic: the 2000 werewolf wonder, Ginger Snaps. A perfect film for a cold autumn night, we dive into its troubled production, Karen Walton’s brilliant script, and the lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between its two leads. It’s a smart, subversive, and compelling coming-of-age story… right up until the last 20 minutes, anyway. Read our full review!
Wagging tails, a man in a dog suit, and a star’s real-life breakdown. The Cujo (1983) production was chaos. For Day 30, we explore why all that effort resulted in a boring, repetitive film that’s more of a “head splitter” than a thriller.
Think the end of the world is all doom and gloom? Think again. We’re diving into 20 of the best recent zombie comedies that will have you giggling one minute and gasping the next. From indie gems to global hits, here’s our list of zom-coms that prove the apocalypse can be a bloody good laugh.
For Day 29 of our Halloween marathon, we check out Demián Rugna’s Terrified (2017). This Argentinian horror has insane hype (Guillermo del Toro tried to remake it!), but does it live up to the fuss? We dive in to see if this is a true original or a familiar formula executed with a vicious edge.
