The Film Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator is a cult horror film that expertly blends grotesque body horror with dark comedy, reviving the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft’s early 20th-century pulp fiction through a gory, neon-tinged 1980s lens. While only loosely adapted from Lovecraft’s serialized short story Herbert West—Reanimator , the film forges its own path, transforming a bleak tale of hubristic science into a technicolor fever dream of excess, eccentricity, and headless terror. At its core, Re-Animator follows the story of Herbert West (played with manic brilliance by Jeffrey Combs), a brilliant but unhinged medical student who has discovered a serum capable of reanimating the dead. Driven by an obsessive pursuit of scientific mastery, West transfers to Miskatonic University, where he quickly becomes entangled with fellow student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) and his girlfriend Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton). As West’s experiments escalate, so too does the chaos—culminating in a visceral sho...

Get ready for blood in the water. Acclaimed horror director Sean Byrne (The Devil’s Candy, The Loved Ones) is back with a pulse-pounding new thriller, Dangerous Animals, making its world premiere at the 2025 Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes—before hitting theaters on June 6. This visceral survival horror film traps its audience in a deadly game of predator and prey. When Zephyr, a rebellious young surfer, is kidnapped by a shark-worshipping serial killer, she’s forced to fight for her life aboard a drifting nightmare of a boat, surrounded by hungry sharks. But the real monster isn’t in the ocean—it’s the man above it. With every second ticking toward a ritualistic “feeding,” Zephyr must use her wits to escape, or risk becoming the next offering to the deep. The film stars Jai Courtney (The Suicide Squad), Hassie Harrison (Yellowstone), and rising talent Josh Heuston (Dune: Prophecy), promising a slick, intense ride that merges the raw tension of Open Water with the psychotic edge of The ...

When Brian Yuzna’s Society first slithered onto screens in 1989, it shocked, confused, and mesmerized horror fans with its surreal vision of upper-class monstrosity. The film’s grotesque body horror and infamous “shunting” scene have since solidified its place in the pantheon of cult horror. But now, a new documentary reveals that the film’s depravity wasn’t just an exercise in cinematic imagination — it was a scream from deep within the psyche of its co-writer. Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired distribution rights to The Darkside of Society , a riveting new documentary that unearths the harrowing personal story behind Society . Set for release on digital and on-demand platforms May 13, 2025, the film is a chilling dive into the mind of writer Zeph E. Daniel — formerly known as Woody Keith — who now reveals that his work on the cult classic was far more autobiographical than he ever realized. Directed by Larry Wade Carrell ( Girl Next , The Quantum Devil ), The Darkside of Society...

The newly released teaser poster for Together (above), the upcoming horror film directed by Michael Shanks and starring Dave Franco and Allison Brie, is already making waves—and for good reason. The stark and unsettling image features two eyes locked in an intense, uncomfortably close stare. It's a minimalist composition that lingers in the mind long after you’ve looked away. With its eerie intimacy and quiet menace, the poster evokes a visceral unease that perfectly sets the tone for what many are already calling the horror film of the year. There's no blood, no monsters—just a feeling that something is deeply wrong. It's an image that doesn’t scream; it whispers, and that whisper crawls under your skin. Shanks, known for his visual storytelling and genre-bending sensibilities, seems poised to deliver something unique with Together. Franco and Brie—real-life partners—bring an added layer of tension to the project, and if the poster is any indication, the film will explore ...
