The Last Sacrifice (2024) EDIT “It’s wild to see a fictional film contrasted with a sensational sequence taken from, say, a BBC investigation depicting “real” witches performing “real ceremonies.”” – io9.com Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 74% EDIT “Using a real-life atrocity to inform a contemporary horror story isn’t the newest idea around but the approach Rock Springs takes is especially thoughtful and nuanced. The performances help with that restraint.” – io9.com Feb 6, 2026 Full Review The Muppet Show (2026) 98% EDIT “If this really is just a stand-alone special, it’ll go down as an entertaining entry on the Muppets’ long timeline of TV and movie projects—far more successful than that Office parody that was attempted a decade ago.” – io9.com Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 61% EDIT “So many horror movies trace the outline of what’s come before and end up disappointing. Whistle, at least, is a lot of fun.” – io9.com Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Influencers (2025) 96% EDIT “Just as twisty and thrilling as Influencer, with enough gore to nudge CW into slasher-villain territory. ” – io9.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) 56% EDIT “It’s not an unpleasant way to spend two hours.” – io9.com Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) 26% EDIT “It’s got some excellent scares.” – io9.com Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) 63% EDIT “While Something Wicked This Way Comes doesn’t lean into Halloween to provide its scares, it does pile on the autumnal dread.” – io9.com Oct 14, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% EDIT “The focus on a specific holiday allows for some noticeable repetition across V/H/S/Halloween segments.” – io9.com Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Scanners (1981) 69% EDIT “As the tension rises in the story, a sense of chaotic unease permeates the movie’s world, racing toward a final act that offers some catharsis but little closure.” – io9.com Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Night of the Reaper (2025) 77% EDIT “ If the final reveals get a little too talky as Christensen hurries to explain all that’s come before, you have to appreciate the effort to fill in as many blanks as possible.” – io9.com Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Chain Reactions (2024) 98% EDIT “Heller-Nicholas may be the least recognizable among the talking heads, but her point of view is no less interesting.” – io9.com Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Traumatika (2024) 68% EDIT “Traumatika eventually shows a bit more confidence in its audience, delivering a story that’s clearly aiming to freak you out and often succeeds.” – io9.com Sep 13, 2025 Full Review The Strangers (2008) 50% EDIT “It’s genuinely scary, maximizing the worst-case scenario of being targeted by ruthless killers, but doing it in a stripped-down way that makes it so much more alarming. ” – io9.com Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Witchboard (2024) 61% EDIT “Though the remake won’t be knocking the original out of its place in the cult-movie pantheon, at least it keeps things gruesomely entertaining along the way.” – io9.com Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2001) 64% EDIT “There’s admittedly not a lot of depth going on here, and certainly zero nuance. But beneath all the gallons of bodily fluids, there’s a certain free-spirited chaos that guides Troma’s approach. ” – io9.com Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Gags (2018) 44% EDIT “There’s some uneven acting that might distract a less forgiving viewer, but the clown and his aura of menace are extremely effective.” – io9.com Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Monster Island (2024) 63% EDIT “At just over 80 minutes, Monster Island offers a fast-paced race to the end. You almost wish there wasn’t a coda that contains flashbacks to scenes we just saw, but it also gives a conclusion that’s both satisfying and leaves the potential for more.” – io9.com Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic (2024) EDIT “Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic offers an excellent introduction to the Indonesian movie legend, but it’s a fun watch even if you’re already familiar with her work. ” – io9.com Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Hot Spring Shark Attack (2024) 67% EDIT “The wacky execution and off-kilter choices are Hot Spring Shark Attack‘s true selling points. ” – io9.com Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Event Horizon (1997) 36% EDIT “Event Horizon goes full fantastical once things start to go off the rails. ” – io9.com Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Sunshine (2007) 77% EDIT “Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland carefully seed the early part of the story with hints of the terrors to come. ” – io9.com Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Best Wishes to All (2024) 77% EDIT “Best Wishes to All is decidedly bleak; instead of leaning into jump scares, it gets under your skin in more philosophical but no less dreadful ways.” – io9.com Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Safe (1995) 88% EDIT “The most chilling part of Safe is its ambiguous ending.” – io9.com Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Dead Silence (2007) 21% EDIT “Dead Silence agreeably ties up most of its plot threads by the end.” – io9.com Jun 6, 2025 Full Review
