With a particular focus on the human aspects of the scenario the franchise and particularly Danny Boyle, the first and newest film's director, wanted to portray infected humans rather than undead zombies, arguably a less often utilized approach to the subgenre. According to various interviews Boyle has had leading up to the June 20, 2025 release of 28 Years Later he has made it clear that the purpose is humanity.

Peele wrote and directed the film and following the success of the film, which will be discussed in detail later in this post, continued to make horror movies focused on Black stories. From the music to the story to the comedic undertones the new version of the Black horror genre set a path for success and an unapologetically Black formula to tell the layered stories through horror elements and stories.

This list of horror movies coming out this year, 2025, is mostly focused on English language movies that are US, Canada, or UK made, solely to make life a little easier in compiling and maintaining it. I also chose not to include B-horror movies, or any of the Disney patent expiration movies (Peter Pan, Snow White, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Popeye to name a few this year alone). Not all movies streaming platform released are included but horror movies in theaters and larger stream

The story woven through the first 3 Fear Street movies made up for some questionable character death choices but the newest installment, Fear Street: Prom Queen doesn’t make up for the same sorts of decisions with a in depth narrative. The story is told in a clunky way that can lead to confusion about character motivations and involvement. This Fear Street is like trying to make gooey sugar cookies but pulling them out just a tad too soon, still edible but a bit more raw than

The first 5 films followed the original’s 2000 release with subsequent releases in 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2011, about 2-3 years between each one. The first follows a group of teenagers who get off of a plane right before it crashes and are then chased by an invisible force, Death, seeking to restore balance by ending the survivors in order of when they would have died on the plane.

Directed by James Wong and written by Glen Morgan and James Wong the 3rd installment of Final Destination follows a similar formula to the first 2 films. In the review of the first film I went over the first film which was inspired by Jeffrey Reddick’s spooky experience while traveling. Jump to the third film however and we are following a completely disconnected group of high schoolers, seemingly random as far as the franchise is concerned.

MY HISTORY WITH FINAL DESTINATION [SKIP] A little under 20 years ago I was sitting in the house my dad had grown up in sitting in what...

I found the beginning and end of Until Dawn really engaging and fun to watch. I liked learning about the characters, their thoughts and feelings, and wanted them to succeed at the end. That being said I did like the outcome and found the call backs to other scenes good nods and finishing moments to top the film off. I don't want to spoil too much about this movie because I think it feeling clever came from me not knowing too much going into it.

There are parallels throughout between expectations for a robot and expectations for a girlfriend, often times the concepts being interchangeable when discussed amongst the characters. Even the lead up to the plot introducing Iris as a robot seems wildly normal as far as what we expect to see in romantic comedies. Despite us following Iris' POV we don’t question off-rip why we only see Iris in any context outside of Josh and her relationship with Josh, she doesn’t have a worl

Regardless if you partake in 420 or April 20th festivities or not, it happens to be on Sunday this year and upcoming weekends provide an opportunity to rest and recharge. Personally my rest and recharge includes horror movies, in particular new movies I haven't watched yet. This year I watched 2 international movies from 2024 on Shudder: Grafted and MadS.
