Sharai Bohannon Macabre Daily Oct 16, 2026 "Whalefall" is an emotional rollercoaster that sucker punches you in the feelings. It’s also another reminder that we’ve barely scratched the surface of Austin Abrams’ depths as a performer or leading actor. Go to Full Review Whalefall (2026) 74% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Oct 14, 2026 3.5/5 "Hallowarrior" takes a well-worn idea of surviving the apocalypse and infuses it with grit and charm by adding in elements of home invasion and a wacky cast of undesirable antagonists who are as weird as they are convincing.

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Oct 7, 2026 3/5 "The Social Reckoning" is a well-made film that features some great performances, but it’s also a shallow examination of a very deep problem in modern society. Go to Full Review The Social Reckoning (2026) 54% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 28, 2026 "...perfect orchestration of all the key aspects of filmmaking working in tandem to create a symphony of psychological horror unlike anything else seen this year.

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 23, 2026 It’s a ghost story with something to say, akin to "The Changeling" or even "The Devil’s Backbone," but profoundly personal and extremely relatable. Go to Full Review Death of a Yellow Bird (2026) 100% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 23, 2026 "What Happened to Doris?" delivers some pretty standard supernatural beats and adds more humanity and less exploitation to the story that’s been told, even if it doesn’t provide as much neutral context. Go to Full Review What Happened to Doris? (2026) 78% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 21, 2026 "...it’s a beautifully heartbreaking look at the damage that is inflicted upon kids by parents who are often too selfish to accept the gravity of their responsibility." Go to Full Review Ürei (2026) 100% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 21, 2026 Anchored by a small and extremely effective cast, "Play House" maintains a steady sense of dread before a cathartic and climactic release in the third act. Go to Full Review Play House (2026) 100% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 18, 2026 "Beware Boiúna" makes a compelling case for why horror and adventure are great bedfellows, and Mike P. Nelson has tapped into something primal that is thrilling and fun as hell! Go to Full Review Beware Boiúna (2026) 58% - -

Matt Orozco Macabre Daily Sep 16, 2026 "Resident Evil" authentically captures the feeling of being in the video games, but loses the sense of urgency and danger in favor of a whiplash-inducing tone that wears out its welcome once the thin storytelling is unveiled.
