Iron Lung (2026) 44% 7/10 EDIT “Soaked with all the gore, madness, and mystery of the likes of Event Horizon and Pandorum, Iron Lung is a worthy successor in the cosmic horror genre as it rises above its own problems.” – Horror Press Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 17% 2/10 EDIT “It’s simplified, mean drivel wearing the mask of a game much better than itself. And worst of all, it manages to somehow stretch itself to nearly two hours as it rushes to its astoundingly incompetent end. Forget Abstract Daddy, that’s the real horror.” – Horror Press Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 4/10 EDIT “[...] though Night Patrol’s chances of garnering a cult following seem highly likely just for the niche concept it hits on, the back half of the film leaves a sour aftertaste that makes it hard to enjoy as easily as most cult classics. ” – Horror Press Jan 19, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 9/10 EDIT “It remedies all the ailments of the 2025 reboot, and it’s safe to say director Nia DaCosta is the one delivering the cure. ” – Horror Press Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 8/10 EDIT “[...] an experience that is more colorful and kinetic and well-loved by its creator than any Frankenstein we’ve had yet, but what it leaves behind is much of its gothic heart. ” – Horror Press Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 5/10 EDIT “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 fails to wow in any particular department other than being "for the fans" and much of its unintentional humor. Still, there’s a glimmer of hope here in its silvery eyes that this can all be something more down the line.” – Horror Press Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 7/10 EDIT “Ultimately, Black Phone 2 does succeed: it brings us an iconic villain fully grown into his mask and puts him center stage of a fresh new supernatural slasher, even if it’s a tonal shark jump in the process. ” – Horror Press Oct 16, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 6/10 EDIT “Conjuring fans will be pleased with how it evokes the first two films [...]. But for those with little emotional attachment to the franchise, and those who find little appeal in callbacks, the back-to-basics approach won’t do much.” – Horror Press Sep 30, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 14% 4/10 EDIT “The Strangers: Chapter 2 is a trite hellbilly slasher at points, a played-out character study of its killers at others, and a limp thriller throughout where anyone can be the killer, and where ultimately, it doesn’t really matter who the killer is. ” – Horror Press Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% 8/10 EDIT “Together crafts an incredible cinematic experience, starting with the strongest first two acts in a horror movie this year. [...] But what it closes on is only a mildly satisfying conclusion, one that betrays the stinging nature of its emotional core. ” – Horror Press Jul 25, 2025 Full Review
