Hope Madden reviews Adam O’Brien’s Bury the Devil. A haunted house horror with a great atmosphere and strong central performances. The incomplete mythology holds it back from being truly memorable.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma review: Schoenbrun delivers slasher nerd nirvana
Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is the nerdiest horror film ever made. With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and more slasher trivia than you can shake a split diopter at, this queer horror masterpiece is bloody, beautiful, and utterly compelling.
Hellcat Film Review: Brock Bodell Traps You in an Airstream
Brock Bodell’s Hellcat straps Dakota Gorman into a moving Airstream and lets Todd Terry talk at her for 91 minutes. Hope Madden reviews a single location horror thriller that mines its premise well before the third act gets contrived. Lean, mean and effective, hokey practical FX and all.
Big Baby Review: Spider One’s Horror Screenwriter Nightmare
Spider One’s Big Baby casts Brandon Lewis as a horror screenwriter who cannot stop listening to the podcast telling him to die. Krsy Fox supplies the film’s genuine tension, and the crying baby mask supplies the axe. Our horror film review looks at why the story inside Adam’s script leaves the whole thing curiously unsatisfying.
Son of Sara Review: Houston Bone’s Sly Satanic Pregnancy Horror
Son of Sara takes the well worn Satanic pregnancy formula and finds fresh life in it, thanks to Houston Bone’s patient direction and a cast who make even familiar scenes land. Chloe Van Landschoot and Tymika Tafari sell the relationship at its centre, and the film’s quiet change in theme upends the expected ending. An indie horror film that spends its small budget wisely and gets you out in under ninety minutes.
Salt Along the Tongue Review: Where Grief Meets the Malocchio
What makes this Salt Along the Tongue so urgent is that Malfitano has crafted something genuinely singular: a possession horror where the scariest thing isn’t a demon, but the love a mother refuses to let go.
Didn’t Die Review: A Zombie Dramedy That Wants More Than Flesh
This Sundance Midnight zombie dramedy wants to be a meditation on grief, not a splatter show. Whether it earns both remains the question.
