I’m still not entirely sure what to make of Alex Van Warmerdam’s Borgman just yet, but I do know that it’s certainly the strangest looking horror film on the horizon. With the home invasion genre starting to wear thin lately, it’s nice to see a film like Borgman come along and turn it on its head. If you thought the poster was creepy, wait until you see what the trailer has in store. Continue Reading…
Zack Parker’s indie horror film Proxy stirred up quite a bit of buzz since it made the festival rounds last year. And now, with its release date nearing, a new chilling trailer has been released that digs deep into the films slow-burning psychological terror. It’s a very jarring looking little film that will no doubt find a nice, dark hole in the horror genre to cozy into. Continue Reading…
Mike Flanagan’s chiller Oculus hit us with a pretty fantastic teaser trailer back in January that had a very hypnotic, almost fairytale-like vibe to it. I really enjoyed it, but the one thing it was missing was any real scares or sense of its story. That has all changed now that an official trailer has been released, offering a great look at one of the most anticipated horror films of the year. Continue Reading…
There’s going to be a lot of head-scratching once you finish watching this one, folks. Motivational Growth is the directorial debut from Don Thacker and believe me, it puts the ‘crazy’ in batshit crazy. The film has turned up in some festivals, and the trailer itself has actually been around for quite a while, but now that Canadian distributor Indiecan Entertainment has recently picked up the rights to the film we’re finally seeing people talk about this batty looking flick. Body horror is a fun genre because there are so many different ways filmmakers can make their audiences squirm, and Motivational Growth looks like it’s going to do just that while frying your brain in the process.

There’s really nothing like a good ol’ fashion body horror flick to get your skin crawling, and that’s exactly what Eric England’s Contracted aims to do; here’s a trailer to prove it! In the trailer we get to see all of the classic elements of the body horror genre as we see teeth, hair and nails falling out left and right. You know… the kind of stuff to make you feel nice and squeamish! It’s a pretty disturbing looking little indie chiller and certainly one to keep an eye on if you’re into some gross-out horror.
Contracted will hit VOD platforms on November 22nd. Continue Reading…
I hardly have the words to describe just how amazingly cool this trailer is for director Red Clark’s short film Gray Matter, but it is by far one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. It’s a short horror film adaptation of a story from Stephen King’s Night Shift collection and will be playing at festivals this winter. Continue Reading…
Stake Land director Jim Mickle’s next turn to horror sees his remake of the 2010 Mexican film of the same name, We Are What We Are, hit select theaters on September 27th and has now released its first trailer. I’m unfamiliar with the original film but based on this fantastically dark trailer I get the vibe that it’s going to have a slow-burn style of horror. In-your-face horror films are fun but we rarely get a solid tale of terror that boils slowly until finally unleashing its terrifying secret, so I’m really hoping the entire film has the same pacing as this trailer. So far, We Are What We Are looks like one to keep a close eye on. Continue Reading…
You haven’t truly experience all that the horror genre has to offer if you haven’t seen a classic giallo film. The giallo genre has given horror fans some unforgettably gruesome films over the years with their stylish camerawork and jaw dropping gore. And now, directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani aim to give horror fans a throwback to the once powerful genre with their intriguing looking The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears. The teaser for the flick is below and while it only comes in at 27 seconds, it leaves one hell of an impression. As most teasers do, it doesn’t offer anything to hold on to as far as the story goes, but it’s just enough to make you want more. A true indie horror film inspired by the genre that gave us films like Suspiria and Dressed to kill is certainly worth keeping an eye on. Take a look! Continue Reading…

It’s truly a fascinating featurette so if you’re even remotely interested in the paranormal then you’ll definitely want to give this one a watch! If you missed it, I recently wrote an article highlighting the true events that inspired the film – check it out here. Continue Reading…
