Dread Central

Chad Collins Dread Central Oct 22, 2026 3/5 Posthumous is plenty scary, but Josh Tanner’s analog horror tale is too familiar to register beyond an immediate jolt. The scares hit, but they certainly won’t last. Go to Full Review Posthumous (2026) 83% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 21, 2026 3/5 DC Studios first genre outing under James Gunn’s leadership delivers a muddy mixed bag of melty body horror and tonal inconsistencies. Go to Full Review Clayface (2026) 75% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 18, 2026 2.5/5 Though timely and with its heart in the right place, Found Alive has such a soft pulse that it keeps the film from being the furious scream it intends to be. Go to Full Review Found Alive (2026) - - - -

Ashliene McMenamy Dread Central Oct 17, 2026 4.5/5 Aminata Thiboult gives a star-making performance as a fame-hungry vampire in Nicky Murphy’s fresh, funny, fiercely stylish mockumentary. Go to Full Review I Love Paris (2026) - - - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 16, 2026 3.5/5 A claustrophobic dive into deep-sea terror, Whalefall is weighed down by clunky pacing and an abundance of CG, but a nightmarish setting and Abrams’ heart-wrenching performance save it from drowning. Go to Full Review Whalefall (2026) 73% - -

Chad Collins Dread Central Oct 14, 2026 3.5/5 Crawlers doesn’t reinvent the killer spider subgenre, but thoughtful filmmaking and plenty of squishy gore will terrify arachnophobes everywhere. Go to Full Review Crawlers (2026) 59% - -

Daniel Kurland Dread Central Oct 13, 2026 2.5/5 Clown Panic covers a lot of ground but still spins its wheels. It presents a variety of stories, but the finished product feels too disjointed in design. It stumbles through its investigative experience, as if it’s wearing giant clown shoes.

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 9, 2026 2/5 Despite a strong lead performance and a few good scares, Other Mommy is a generic funhouse of horrors that’s seldom scary. Go to Full Review Other Mommy (2026) 19% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 7, 2026 5/5 Even before the director’s cut of The Devils, it was a film unlike anything that had come before or after. It still is, but now you can see it the way it was always meant to be seen. Say a prayer beforehand, if you must. You won’t be the same afterward.

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 6, 2026 3/5 The premise may be somewhat generic, and the terror largely toothless, but Gormican crafts an Anaconda film that pays loving tribute to a generation of creature features and their fans, while offering a new adventure that’s fun for the whole family.

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 5, 2026 3.5/5 An unsettling and twisty descent through the looking glass, Hogan’s The Dark Gets In chills with a narrative that will keep any parent up at night. Go to Full Review The Dark Gets In (2026) - - - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 5, 2026 2.5/5 Cold Storage offers up a lighthearted infection horror comedy that never quite heats up or succeeds on the gross-out factor. Go to Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 80% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 5, 2026 2.5/5 ‘Mortal Kombat II’ delivers more of the same with a sloppy script supported by fun new characters and loads of bloody fatalities. Go to Full Review Mortal Kombat II (2025) 63% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 5, 2026 2.5/5 Masters of the Universe feels a lot like a Marvel-ized version of the classic cartoon. Bloated, exhaustingly self-referential, but with a sense of lighthearted fun and silly antics that any hardcore fan of He-Man will enjoy. Go to Full Review Masters of the Universe (2026) 67% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 3, 2026 2.5/5 The Swallow may be a blob movie without compelling characters or an exciting script, but it does spit up loads of impressive and slimy practical effects that make it worth wading into. Go to Full Review The Swallow (2026) - - - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 2, 2026 4/5 Steven Spielberg returns to what he does best with ‘Disclosure Day’, a spellbinding adventure about faith, connection, and the wonders of the universe. Yet another reminder that the filmmaker is still the king of summer blockbusters. Go to Full Review Disclosure Day (2026) 79% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 2, 2026 5/5 Thrilling, ultra-violent and masterful in execution, filmmaker Kenji Tanigaki delivers a pummeling action epic that more than lives up to its title. Go to Full Review The Furious (2025) 97% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 2, 2026 4/5 Evil Dead Burn isn’t without a few pus-filled blemishes, but Vaniček’s sequel more than overcomes those with a film that rips, bites and rages like the fires of Hell as the most vicious Evil Dead yet. Go to Full Review Evil Dead Burn (2026) 70% - -

Matt Konopka Dread Central Oct 2, 2026 3/5 Somewhat problematic yet rich with gorgeous cinematography and striking terror, Ithaqua’s the sort of horror picture that will likely leave fans divided. Go to Full Review Ithaqua (2026) - - - -

Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central Oct 1, 2026 3/5 In A Violent Nature Part 2 is a surprising crowd pleaser, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Go to Full Review In a Violent Nature 2 (2026) 60% - -
