Family isn’t supposed to be like this. There’s something special about colorful holiday lights and festive music serving as a backdrop to a Christmas Eve bloodbath. It’s why films like Silent Night, Deadly Night or Krampus are at the top of most Christmas horror watchlists each year. And there’s not nearly enough Christmas horror out […]

If you’re a fan of the Souls series games, especially its sister game SEKIRO: Shadows Die Twice, and anime is your flavor for amazing adaptations (they do it so well), then SEKIRO: No Defeat is made for you, especially.

Unidentified Murder is one of the most charming surprises to come out of this year’s Fantasia 2026 lineup. It shows how a chaotic murder mystery of sorts can have as much heart as it does intrigue. Directed by Kwok Ka-Hei and Jack Lee Chun-Kit, the film builds tension from the start. The pacing never lets

Thailand is still niche in the horror/thrillers cinema realm, but that doesn’t mean that their folk horror game isn’t strong. From Krasue (a demonic vampire woman who is a floating head with entrails) in films such as Inhuman Kiss to undead lovers in Pee Mak, Thailand has a strong game when it comes to the
