"You can always tell which neighbors are gonna last... Good luck, son." Ha! Blue Finch Films has revealed the teaser trailer for a film titled Hold the Fort, which is premiering this month at the prestigious 2025 Fantasia Film Festival up in Montreal.

The Fear Street film trilogy is widely regarded as one of the best horror thriller franchises in recent memory, and fans can now look forward to a fourth installment titled Fear Street: Prom Queen, which is set to premiere on Netflix in 2025. All three prior movies in the series were released on the platform in July 2021, with each one coming out in the subsequent weeks. Following the release of Fear Street Part Three: 1666, director Leigh Janiak expressed interest in continuing the story, apparently wanting to create a slasher film that takes place during the 1980s. By November 2023, Netflix's Head of Film, Scott Stuber, confirmed that it would be a standalone movie rather than the continuation of the prequel events.

In the third film, evil was seemingly vanquished thanks to the continued efforts of Sarah Fier (Kiana Madeira), Ziggy (Gillian Jacobs), and Hannah (Olivia Scott Welch), but the finale suggests otherwise.

Devil's Peak features top-tier talent both in front and behind the camera, adding depth to its gripping crime narrative. Led by Billy Bob Thornton, the cast offers strong support, contributing to a complex story of family loyalty and conflict. Streaming on Hulu, this thriller delves into the dark world of a drug empire in the Appalachian Mountains, providing suspenseful entertainment.

The 2023 thriller Devil's Peak unites some impressive talent both in front and behind the camera, giving the movie's cast list some impressive heft. Directed by Ben Young, whose previous credits include the Netflix movie Extinction and the crime-horror Hounds of Love, Devil's Peak has discovered a new lease on life on streaming after a low-key initial release. As a result of this newfound popularity, many fans are keen to learn more about the Devil's Peak cast.

Devil's Peak is now available to stream on Hulu.

Like some of Ben Young's previous work,...

A full Free Movie of the Day is posted on the JoBlo Horror Movies YouTube channel every other day during the week – but on Fridays things get even freakier and a little more fun.

Every Friday, we’ll be taking a look at another genre movie you can watch in its entirety, free of charge, either on the YouTube channel linked above or in the video embed here.

The Friday Fright Night feature we have for you this week is director Andrew Robertson’s suspense thriller American Apocalypse, which takes place after a pandemic that went even worse than the one that shut down the world in 2020.

There are some critical RSVPs — and seemingly some Mia characters? — in the first photos from the climax of DC’s Stargirl‘s Season 1 finale.

The two-part finale kicks off with “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part One” (streaming Monday, Aug. 3 on DC Universe, then airing Tuesday, Aug. 4 on The CW), in which Courtney (played by Brec Bassinger), Pat (Luke Wilson) and the team regroup to figure out their next steps, all with the Isa hot on their trail. Meanwhile, Rick (Cameron Gellman) makes a breakthrough, and the team prepares for a showdown with the Isa.

With only a few more episodes left in season one, the Justice Society and the Injustice Society are headed towards a massive collision. The Injustice Society is now on the prowl for the person that is trying to expose them, while the Justice Society is in full-on montage mode with Pat’s training.

Mike, fresh from his paper route job, catches Pat and Courtney arguing over their training methods, which Pat quickly covers up as “driving” lessons. Courtney wants a more hands-on approach to the training while Pat wants to establish rules for training. It’s a funny scene as obviously Mike and Barbara have no clue that their loved ones are superheroes and Pat isn’t really teaching Courtney how to drive.

"I'm not trying to control you, I'm trying to protect you." Vertical Entertainment has released an official trailer for an indie sci-fi drama titled Only, the second feature film from up-and-coming filmmaker Takashi Doscher (of Still previously). This originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, and arrives in theaters next month. After a comet releases a mysterious virus that begins to kill all the women in the world, a couple's relationship is severely tested. They hide out (from both the illness and the savages who hunt the remaining women) in their over-sterilized apartment, until they must venture out into the wilderness once again. Starring Leslie Odom Jr. & Freida Pinto, along with Chandler Riggs, Jayson Warner Smith, Joshua Mikel, Mark Ashworth, and Tia Hendricks. Not an original idea, but perhaps the film is good. Here's the first official trailer for Takashi Doscher's Only, direct from Vertical's YouTube: After...

Jason DeVan wrote and directed Along Came The Devil 2 starring Bruce Davison, Laura Wiggins, Mark Ashworth, Cassius DeVan, Heather DeVan and Tiffany Fallon.

Sometimes it’s fun to watch little low-budget indie horror films. They may not be great films, but I’ve seen a lot of them that are actually pretty entertaining. I try to give the underdogs a chance, and today we have a trailer for a film to share with you called Along Came the Devil 2.

The first film was released last year, and it was actually pretty good. The sequel comes from the same filmmaker Jason DeVan, and it looks like it could be solid horror thriller. Here’s the synopsis:

After receiving an unsettling voicemail, Jordan returns home, looking for answers, only to find her estranged father and even more questions. A demonic force has attached itself to the town and no one is safe. The only one who seems to know anything is the small town's Reverend.

The film stars Bruce Davison, Laura Slade Wiggins (Shameless), Mark Ashworth (Magnificent Seven), Cassius DeVan,...

"What I'm about to tell you is going to be very difficult to understand..." Gravitas Ventures has unveiled the first trailer for horror sequel Along Came the Devil 2, a follow-up to the horror film from last year about possessed woman. Writer/director Jason DeVan returns again for this next one, which seems to tie in loosely to the first. After receiving an unsettling voicemail, Jordan returns home, looking for answers, only to find her estranged father and even more questions. A demonic force has attached itself to the town and no one is safe. The only one who seems to know anything is the small town's Reverend, of course. The horror sequel stars Laura Wiggins, Bruce Davison, Mark Ashworth, Cassius DeVan, Tiffany Fallon, and Heather DeVan. Doesn't look like this is going to be any good? Nothing new here. But maybe it's just me. Here's the official trailers (+ poster...

If possession horror is your thing here some news for you.    Husband and wife duo Jason and Heather DeVan have wasted no time following up last year`s possession horror Along Came The Devil with a sequel. Production on Along Came The Devil 2 began back in April and Gravitas Ventures is ready to release the flick in U.S. cinemas and On Digital and On Demand on October 11th.    Bruce Davison reprises his role as Reverend Michael.

We have a brand new trailer for Along Came the Devil 2. This serves as a sequel to last year's Along Came the Devil, which didn't make much of a splash at the box office (or really any splash at the box office) but it must have done well enough on the VOD market to justify a follow-up. And by the looks of it, we've got some low budget possession horror goods on the way this fall, for those who need a fix in that department.

The trailer is a little tough to get a grip on at first. There's a spooky incident at a church and a reverend who seems determined to do away with this evil, whatever it may be. The meat of the trailer is one, single extended sequence that looks like the kind of thing we see at least once or twice a year in the mainstream horror realm,...

It looks like the relese of Jason Devan's horror flick Along Came the Devil went well enough that a return invite has been extended to evil. Production began yesterday on the sequel to his debut indie horror flick in Atlanta 'heartbeat' Georgia. As before, he wrote the sequel with his wife Heather. Bruce Davidson returns as Reverand Michael along with Mark Ashworth. We presume they were the only survivors from the first film? The Devans are collaborating throught their DeVan Clan Productions slate with Gravitas Ventures. Gravitas Ventures expects to push the sequel into cinemas and onto VOD this Fall.

What started as a casual campfire hangout among friends quickly turned into an encounter with the spirit world in Along Came the Devil, and now filming has begun in Atlanta on Along Came the Devil 2, which pits an entire town against a demonic entity capable of deadly deeds:

Press Release: Atlanta, April 16, 2019 – DeVan Clan Productions and Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, announce the commencement of principal photography for Along Came The Devil 2. Production is expected to begin on April 23, 2019 in Atlanta. Visionary, Jason DeVan (Along Came the Devil), who co-wrote the film with his wife Heather DeVan (Along Came the Devil), will direct the sequel. It will star Academy Award nominated actor Bruce Davidson (X-Men), Laura Wiggins (Showtime’s “Shameless”), Mark Ashworth (Magnificent Seven) and Tiffany Fallon (Christmas in the Heartland). The film is expected to be released in theaters and on VOD this fall by Gravitas Ventures.

Exclusive: Shooting is underway this week in Georgia on Along Came the Devil 2, a sequel to the 2018 horror thriller directed by Jason DeVan and penned by him and his screenwriter partner/wife Heather DeVan. They return in the same capacities for the follow-up, which like the first will be distributed by Gravitas Ventures. An October theatrical day-and-date release is being eyed.

Bruce Davison returns as Reverend Michael in the sequel joined by Laura Wiggins (Shameless), Mark Ashworth (Magnificent Seven) and Tiffany Fallon (Christmas in the Heartland). The new film’s plot: After receiving an unsettling voicemail, Jordan (Fallon) returns home, looking for answers, only to find her estranged father and even more questions. A demonic force has attached itself to the town and no one is safe. The only one who seems to know anything is the small town’s Reverend.

Jason and Heather DeVan are producing via their DeVan Clan banner.

A modestly budgeted, cannily made survival drama centered on a fictional coal mine explosion in Appalachia, “Mine 9” plays a little like a humble blueprint for a more extravagant Hollywood exercise in high-octane heroism: Squint a little, and you can see how Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg, say, would muscle out the solemn, simple narrative devised here by writer-director-producer Eddie Mensore. That’s not a criticism of “Mine 9,” which is most interesting for the ways it avoids the standard gung-ho dramatics of a disaster movie, treating its male ensemble as heroes and victims in equal measure.

Neither is it a stringent exercise in docu-realism, however, as a streak of heartland sentimentality runs through its gritty tragedy. Dedicated to the hard-up coal-mining community in the closing credits, Mensore’s film aims chiefly to highlight the typical plight of an American underclass that rarely gets big-screen attention. That it does with honesty and conviction,...

"Paycheck ain't going to mean shit if you die two miles in, Kenny." View the first official trailer for an indie survival horror-thriller titled Mine 9, about a horrible mine disaster trapping nine men underground. From filmmaker Eddie Mensore, the film takes place in the Appalachians, where miners working two miles into the earth end up stuck underground after a methane explosion leaves them with only one hour of oxygen. Mine 9 stars Terry Serpico, Mark Ashworth, Kevin Sizemore, Clint James, Drew Starkey, Alpha Trivette, Erin Elizabeth Burns, Francine Locke, and Elizabeth Houston. The other recent big mine survival film was The 33, based on the true story. This one looks very dark and murky and muddy, of course, but also a bit more violent and crazy and dangerous. That horror wink at the end of this trailer is a bit odd. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Eddie Mensore's Mine 9,...

"I need you to get up. Keep moving." Give this short film a look if you're in the mood for some gritty sci-fi action. Ballistic is the latest short film made by Ryan Connolly, and it's set in a post-apocalyptic time in the future. There's not much more of an introduction beyond that, so jump right in and start watching now. Ballistic stars Hannah Ward, Rachel Hendrix, Mark Ashworth, Graham Powell, and Omid Zader. I really like how this short just starts and gets into things fast, without spending too much time trying to explain anything. Just put us right in the middle of it and we can figure it out as it goes along. Watch below. Ballistic embedded directly from Vimeo.

Outside of Quentin Tarantino, it seems like no one is really attempting to do Westerns anymore. This week, one does hit in the remake of The Magnificent Seven. This film, the latest take on the material, seeks to not just follow in those footsteps, but in Tarantino’s as well, echoing Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight in the process. Aside from remakes like 3:10 to Yuma, you have to look far and wide to find other Westerns these days, with the last memorable one perhaps being The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Come Friday though, Antoine Fuqua seeks to give you all another one to love. This remake, which is not only a remake of The Magnificent Seven film of the same name, but also Seven Samurai, is an action Western. Here, when a town is being terrorized by a land thief (Peter Sarsgaard), they...
