Our horror movie reviews cover new releases, indie horror, festival premieres and the odd cult classic. From FrightFest reports to slow burn ghost stories and creature features, every review gives you an honest verdict on whether a horror film is worth your time.
Zoe Kavanagh flings Niamh Hogan’s Taryn Barker back to 1987, where a summer camp slasher and a cult run by Lisa Wilcox stand between her and the Necrox. This action horror sequel skips the po-faced polish and goes straight for practical gore, real stunts and big daft fun. Here is why the indie horror slate has a new favourite.
Avalon Fast’s Camp takes the bones of a summer camp horror and grows something stranger from them. This sapphic, witchy coming-of-age tale follows Zola Grimmer’s grief-stricken Emily into a coven of damaged young women, trading slasher mechanics for melancholy magic. Here’s why this girl horror lingers.
Izabel Pakzad’s Find Your Friends drops five wasted party girls into Joshua Tree and promises a survival-horror reckoning with toxic masculinity. There’s a real story of female rage swimming beneath the booze, the Molly and the desert menace — but does this Shudder revenge thriller ever let it breathe? Our review counts the cost.
