Hope Madden reviews Zachary Wigon’s gothic horror comedy, adapted by Virginia Feito from her own novel. Maika Monroe, Ruth Wilson and Jason Isaacs bring the energy and the gore, but the film trims the book’s edge and leaves little to root for.

Streaming Shark Movies: Which Ones Are Worth the Swim?
Charlotte Bond tests four shark movie reviews against one simple question: does the shark behave like a shark? Thrash is fine with low expectations, 47 Meters Down is tense and smart, and Shark Night is a lake house of crassness. Her Under Paris review crowns the French thriller as the pick of the shark horror films on streaming.
The Nice Ones (2026) Review: When Kindness Becomes the Invasion
Peter Stylianou’s The Nice Ones turns the body snatcher story warm, as a weekend in the country goes wrong when everyone but Kate becomes unnervingly kind. This review of the psychological sci-fi horror finds a clever British indie film with a terrific Joelle Rae, held back only by an ending that stops too soon.
Breeder (2026) Review: Dot-Marie Jones Puts a Man Out to Stud
Alex Goyette’s Breeder sends a broke geneticist to dinner with a dog breeder who thinks he would make the perfect stud. Hope Madden finds this dark comedy horror uncomfortable, smart and often funny, with Dot-Marie Jones giving a masterful performance that holds firm even when the third act falters.
The Cycle (2026) Review: A Cold Case Turned Creature Feature
Hope Madden reviews The Cycle, the Shudder original from The Head Hunter director Jordan Downey that turns a police procedural into a creature feature. Deborah Ann Woll brings quiet power to a forensic case with a very personal twist, and a few monster moments impress. It runs long, but Spooky Season fans after throwback cinema will find a lot to like.
Crawlers (2026) Review: Thin Story, Thousands of Hungry Spiders
Hope Madden’s Crawlers review finds little beneath the story but no shortage of killer spiders, as Matilda Lutz and her neighbours are sealed inside an infested Los Angeles apartment building. Ángel Gómez Hernández’s spider horror movie builds its tension floor by floor and leaves its audience scratching in their seats.
