Don't Let the Cat Out (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Don’t Let the Cat Out is a strange, hypnotic indie that’s feline fresh in its thrills and kills. ” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review It Needs Eyes (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A spooky Gen-Z Creepypasta. Go, indie horror, go! ” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Abigail Before Beatrice (2025) 3/5 EDIT “I don’t use all-timer lightly, but, yeah, Dudley is more than the real deal here” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Parasomnia (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Wild paranormal lore and serious scares render Parasomnia a real winner. ” – Dread Central Oct 24, 2025 Full Review The Woman (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The Woman is an eerie masterclass in surreal thrills and ethereal tension. ” – Dread Central Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Burning (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Burning is heavy, heady work that culls from the genre’s past to spotlight damning, distinctly contemporary fears. ” – Dread Central Oct 18, 2025 Full Review The Holy Boy (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A holy experience in folk horror worth canonizing. ” – Dread Central Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 69% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sam Van Grinsven’s Went Up the Hill is a ghost story that swallowed me whole. ” – Dread Central Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Noise (2024) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “The protracted climax delivers on the title in an unfortunate way—after so much intense build, what we’re left with is just noise” – Dread Central Jul 30, 2025 Full Review The Wailing (2024) 74% 4/5 EDIT “The Wailing wisely modernizes supernatural horror tropes with a generation-spanning tale of heartbreak and terror. ” – Dread Central Jul 24, 2025 Full Review The Only Ones (2024) 2/5 EDIT “The Only Ones is a laudable yet uneven slasher that fails to distinguish itself from the horror pack. ” – Dread Central Jul 12, 2025 Full Review Hot Spring Shark Attack (2024) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hot Spring Shark Attack is a practically driven, balls-to-the-wall shark spectacular. ” – Dread Central Jul 12, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “If you’ve ever wanted to see a corporate executive’s idea of a dino horror movie, Jurassic World: Rebirth is your chance. ” – Dread Central Jul 12, 2025 Full Review A Breed Apart (2025) 18% 1.5/5 EDIT “Unless you really hate puppies, I’m not sure what enjoyment you’ll salvage from A Breed Apart. ” – Dread Central May 14, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Locked is a diverting social thriller with enough blood and guts (and theatrics) to render it a ride worth taking. ” – Dread Central Mar 20, 2025 Full Review F Marry Kill (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “Laura Murphy’s F Marry Kill isn’t worth marrying, but you could do a lot worse for a one night stand. ” – Dread Central Mar 8, 2025 Full Review The Buildout (2024) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The Buildout is cosmic horror that lands among the stars.” – Dread Central Feb 4, 2025 Full Review OBEX (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Obex wants you to fight demons and save your dog. Albert Birney’s feature is fantastical and weird enough to convince me to do just that. ” – Dread Central Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “Zodiac Killer Project intends to indict an entire subgenre, though by the end, this subversive exercise in true crime antics indicts only itself. ” – Dread Central Jan 29, 2025 Full Review The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Bouts of violence and a sharp folkloric edge render The Virgin of the Quarry Lake an uncommonly frightening and tragic coming-of-age saga. ” – Dread Central Jan 29, 2025 Full Review The Things You Kill (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The Things You Kill is as much about killing off the parts of ourselves as it is about the persons in our lives who exist solely as living, breathing reminders of society’s perennial sins. You don’t need therapy – just fight your dad instead. ” – Dread Central Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Into the Deep (2025) 27% 2.5/5 EDIT “Into the Deep’s pathos stays above water even as redundant killer shark action sinks to the depths. ” – Dread Central Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Devils Stay (2024) 30% 3/5 EDIT “Devils Stay is a gnarly, pulsating possession yarn that bears the weight of familiarity. ” – Dread Central Dec 6, 2024 Full Review You Are Not Me (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “One of the finest queer horror movies of the year, You Are Not Me is a gift to the Christmas horror canon. ” – Dread Central Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Hold Your Breath (2024) 40% 2.5/5 EDIT “Hold Your Breath is a swirling tempest of captivating ideas, though they never successfully congeal into anything that hasn’t been seen a dozen times before. Sarah Paulson shines, but Hold Your Breath gets lost in the storm. ” – Dread Central Oct 2, 2024 Full Review
