Bring Her Back
Release date: May 30, 2025 (US), August 1, 2025 (UK)
Danny and Michael Philippou, the directors of 2022’s supernatural horror smash hit Talk To Me, have teamed up again with A24 for their sophomore feature, Bring Her Back, which stars The Shape of Water’s Sally Hawkins and follows a brother and sister who uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询♌:The teaser trailer, which has just dr♓opped in February, promises more of the unsettling imagery scared up by the Philippous in Talk To Me, with what looks like some supernatural and even folk horror vibes. For horror fans who have been eagerly awaiting what fresh terror the Aussie filmmakers are ready to𒁃 unleash next, May can’t arrive quickly enough.
has reported that the movie is “an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.” Pacino isn't averse to tackling Satanic horror, having starred as the Devil himself in♛ 1997’s The Devil’s Advocate, and joining him and Stevens in The Ritual are Ashley Greene (the Twilight movies) and Abigail Cowan (ℱThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina)., the film kept the packed audience hooting and hollering at many of its gory, surprising set pieces, and in an interview for IMDb, Franco described the film as "very scary".The psychological sci-fi body horror follows a codependent couple's move to the countryside which triggers a supernatural﷽ incident that exacerbates their existing issues and drastically alters their relationship… and their p🦩hysical form.
, we are excited about it!Starring Madison Iseman (Annabelle Comes Home, I Know What You Did Last Summer series), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), Mel Jarnson (Mortal Kombat) ཧand Charlie Tahan (The Pale Blue Eye, Ozark), Witchboard follows a group of friends who discover a mysterious artifact as they prepare to open a cafe in New Orleans. Cue darkness, obsession, summoned spirits, mysterious occult experts and a sumptuous masked ball, all under Chuck Russell’s well-trained eye.
The Black Phone 2
Release date: October 17, 2024
We lovꦓe a horror sequel that audiences are actually excited about and Scott Derrickson’s follow-up to his 2021 supernatural/child abduction hit The Black Phone is shaping up to be one such movie. There’s very little known about The Black Phone 2 currently, but it has been confirmed that original cast members Ethan Hawke, Jeremy Davies, Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw are all returning.
The first movie and its character🍬s were based on a short story written by Joe son-of-Stephen-King Hill, and while he won’t back for the sequel screenplay, Derrickson has teamed up again with C. Robert Cargill who also worked on The Black Phone and the Sinister films. Here’s hoping for more fearful fun from this team that just seems to love the horror genre.
Five Nights At Freddy's 2
Release date: December 5, 2025
In 2023, Five Nights at Freddy’s became Blumhouse’s highest-grossing movie of all time, and the cast and crew behind the popular video game-based smash hit is coming back with its sequel at the end of 2025. The first film followed Josh Hutcherson’s Mike, a troubled security guard who gets a job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza only ༒to find himself battling killer animatronics.
Director Emma Tammi, her co-writers Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback, and stars Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, and Piper Rubio are all returning for Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, which, with the tagline ‘Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances', and will no doubt take the classic follow-up approach of upping the stakes, the action, and - hopefully - the horror. This is also one of our most anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming video game movies of 2025!
Anaconda
Release date: December 25, 2025
There’s a big new creature feature on the horizon and, while this might not have been on ꦚanyone’s 2025 horror bingo card, it’s a reboo🐷t of 1997’s Anaconda being brought to us by Jack Black and Paul Rudd on Christmas Day. Although at first glance this might feel like an unusual project pairing, Black has some monster movie pedigree from Peter Jackson’s King Kong and Rudd is no stranger to blockbuster action, having played Ant-Man across multiple installments of the MCU.
From what we currently know from the synopsis, the new Anaconda movie could 🧸well be a meta affair, as a group of friends going through midlife crises decide to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter unexpected events (and, we assume, one very big snake) when they enter the jungle. Joining Black and Rudd on the cast are Steve Zahn (Joyride) and Thandiwe Newton (Westworld). Tom Go🌃rmican (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) will direct.
The Bride
Release date: March 6, 2026
More rebooted Universal Monster action is on its way, this time revolving around one of horror’s most iconic female characters, and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal – following her hugely successful feature debut The Lost Daughter in 2021 – who's adapting the stunning black and white classic from 1935, James Whale’s Bride of Frankenstein. The new movie takes place in '30s Chicago, where 🦂Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius for help creating a companion, and when they bring a murdered woman back to life as the Bride (played by Men’s Jessie Buckley), they spark romance, police interest, and radical social change.
Along with its significant heritage, an impressive ensemble cast including Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, Life, Velvet Buzzsaw), Christian Bale (American Psycho, The Pale Blue Eye), Penelope Cruz (Vanilla Sky, Murder on the Orient Express), Peter Sarsgaard (The Skeleton Key, Orphan) and Annette Bening (Mars Attacks!) makes this another hugely anticipated horror fo♉r 2025.
