Sam Raimi returns with SEND HELP, a brutal, funny, high-energy crowd-pleaser that delivers nonstop chaos and reminds us why the theatrical experience still matters. Read our full review now.
In an era dominated by remakes and requels, Silent Night, Deadly Night returns not as a hollow exercise in nostalgia, but as a slasher that understands both its legacy and its controversy. Originally released in 1984 to intense backlash, the film has long occupied a strange place in horror history—reviled by some, embraced by genre fans. This new iteration doesn’t shy away from that baggage; instead, it reworks the story with intention, justifying its existence through bold narrative choices and a clear affection for the slasher tradition.

‘The Smashing Machine’ Review: Dwayne Johnson’s Career-Best Performance
Dwayne Johnson reinvents himself in The Smashing Machine, shedding his blockbuster persona for a vulnerable, career-best performance. Emily Blunt matches him with brilliance in a heartbreaking drama from Benny Safdie that goes far beyond the MMA ring.
Scream (1996) is a genre-defining horror film that didn’t just revive the slasher—it reinvented it. Directed by Wes Craven and written with razor-sharp self-awareness, the film balances genuine suspense with clever meta commentary, turning familiar horror rules into weapons against the audience. From its iconic opening to its unforgettable killer reveal, Scream thrives as both a terrifying and wildly entertaining communal experience. Anchored by Neve Campbell’s resilient Sidney Prescott and an ensemble cast bursting with energy, the film remains a landmark of 1990s horror and one of the most influential slashers ever made.
