If you are a horror fan then you might have heard about the director duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who gave us brilliant horror films like 2022’s Scream and 2019’s Ready or Not and now they are back with their new and even campier horror film Abigail. Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, the new horror film is a reimagining of the 1936 Universal Classic Monsters film Dracula’s Daughter and it follows the story of a group of kidnappers who are told to kidnap the daughter of a very powerful man and keep her in the house for 24 hours, but they quickly realize that the daughter might not be what she seems. Abigail stars Alisha Weir, Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Will Catlett, Kathryn Newton, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Giancarlo Esposito, and Matthew Goode.

"Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps alight." We're only a few days away from Halloween now, to get you in the mood for some spooky times watch this short film. Duérmete Niño is an impressive new short film made by Mexican filmmaker Freddy Chavez Olmos, who has worked with Guillermo del Toro in the past on previous horror projects. Set in the 1940s, Duérmete Niño tells the story of Alma, played by Piercey Dalton, a religious mother of newborn twins who is constantly awakened by the disturbing sound of her crying babies. It's a bit different than other baby monitor horror shorts we've featured (like Monitor or Monitor) as it has a vintage vibe that really makes it stand out. I also dig the opening logo reveal, and the seamless VFX shots. Turn your volume up for this one - the sound is the creepiest part about it.

"Death... it's like it moves in and never leaves." Netflix has debuted the first trailer for a horror thriller The Open House, which is a new horror that has kind of come out of nowhere. The story is about a mother and her son who, following a tragedy, move to a relative's vacant vacation home, where eerie and unexplained forces conspire against them. This doesn't sound like much, but maybe there's something more to it - you will get a glimpse in this trailer. Piercey Dalton and Dylan Minnette (from "13 Reasons Why") star as mother & son, along with Patricia Bethune, Sharif Atkins, and Matt Angel (who also co-directed the film). This looks like a standard haunted house + grief thriller, if you need another one of these in your life. Here's the first trailer for Matt Angel & Suzanne Coote's The Open House, direct from YouTube: Following a tragedy,...
