With Scream 7 , that tradition continues in a big way as Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group unveil a chilling lineup of original songs from some of today’s most exciting and genre-bending artists. Rather than dropping a full soundtrack all at once, Scream 7  is rolling out its original music throughou

For more than three decades, Sidney Prescott has been the emotional backbone of the Scream franchise. She is a survivor, a fighter, and a symbol of resilience in the face of relentless terror. Now, Paramount Pictures has released a brand-new featurette titled “Sidney’s Journey,” offering fans an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the character who changed horror forever. The featurette centers on Neve Campbell , who reflects on Sidney’s evolution from a traumatized teen in Wo

By: Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com When it comes to horror, it’s always worth revisiting the classics, especially when a filmmaker finds a way to make them feel alive again. Dracula  is one of those reinterpretations that understands the assignment. We all know the name. We all know the legend.

The newly released Scream 7  legacy teaser makes one thing crystal clear: every phone call across the franchise has been building to this chapter . Instead of relying on jump scares or kill reveals, the teaser assembles a chilling montage of phone call moments from throughout the Scream  films, reminding audiences that Ghostface’s most powerful weapon has nev

Some films wear their influences proudly. Others weaponize them. Night Patrol , the latest genre-bending vampire thriller from director Ryan Prows , does both. Drawing inspiration from gritty street-level dramas and classic vampire mythology, Night Patrol  feels like End of Watch  colliding with Colors  and The Lost Boys , creating something familiar, ferocious, and entirely its own. During our recent conversation with the cast and filmmaker, it became clear that Night Patrol

The curse is stirring again — but not in the way audiences might expect. A first teaser for Lee Cronin’s The Mummy  has officially arrived, offering an eerie glimpse into writer-director Lee Cronin’s bold reimagining of one of horror’s most enduring legends. Fresh off redefining studio horror with Evil Dead Rise, Cronin appears poised to do the same with The Mummy, trading spectacle for atmosphere and emotional unease. Rather than leaning into familiar imagery or mythology-he

By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com Paramount has gone completely apes with its latest horror thriller, Primate , and honestly, that might be the most accurate way to describe this film. From the moment I hit play, I knew exactly what kind of ride I was in for, and I mean that in the best possible way. Directed by Johannes Roberts, Primate  leans hard into creature-feature terror and never pretends to be anything other than a gnarly, suspense-filled crowd pleaser. Before I get i
