Stars: Kate Noel, Skyylar Perdomo, Sebastian Betancur, Sarah Siverson, Jayden Stith, Breck Cuddy, Tanya Champoux | Written and Directed by Terence Bernie Hines

There’s something charmingly throwback about Mauler, a slasher with indie sensibilities and a healthy dose of religious dread. Written and directed by Terence Bernie Hines, the film wears its horror influences proudly while attempting to carve out its own voice, sometimes literally. It’s not a game-changer, but for fans of grungy, low-budget horror that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is, Mauler hits enough satisfying notes to warrant the ride.

The setup is classic horror bait: five broke friends take on a viral dark web challenge that leads them into a supposedly haunted “murder house,” where they can win $25,000 by staying overnight. Of course, the house doesn’t just have a creepy backstory—it has a very real, very large, and very angry tenant.

This week brings the return of Netflix’s Fear Street movie franchise and the debut of Until Dawn at home, along with a new Shudder Original horror movie… and that’s only the start.

Here’s all the new horror that released from May 19 – May 23, 2025!

“Wall Street stockbroker Rosario returns to her grandmother’s apartment after her sudden death.

Judgment has a name… Mauler.

It’s too late to scream, because the religious slasher is available on Digital today from One Tree Entertainment.

Desperate for cash, five friends sign up for a $25K dark web contest inside a haunted murder house. But when they face off against a 7-foot-tall religious maniac with a sledgehammer, it’s no longer about the money—it’s a fight for survival.

Actor Terence Bernie Hines (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) writes, directs, and produces.

Kate Noel, Skyylar Perdomo, Sebastian Betancur, Sarah Siverson, Jayden Stith, Tanya Champoux (1922), and Breck Cuddy star.

Sony Pictures Classics’ Dylan Leiner along with FilmNation’s Stefan Zorich and Paramount’s Fabrizio Carrer were among the top film executives and companies who participated in the 13th NY Film & Entertainment Soccer Tournament for charity hosted at the Tribeca Festival.

"It's been so long since we've been together." IFC Films has revealed a trailer for an indie film titled Life Upside Down, formerly known as Worlds Apart, written and directed by filmmaker Cecilia Miniucchi. This is yet another lockdown project, finally releasing after first premiering at the Venice Film Festival's sidebar Venice Days a few months ago. Three couples who know one another are stuck at home during the beginning of lockdown. Jonathan, Clarissa and Paul will soon see their lives turned upside-down, forced to look at each other and ultimately at themselves. Forced to honestly face their spouses, friends, lovers, as well as take a good look in the mirror. The indie film stars Bob Odenkirk, Radha Mitchell, Danny Huston, Rosie Fellner, Cyrus Pahlavi, Terence Bernie Hines, and Jeanie Lim. This looks pretty rough, like many of the pandemic-inspired "what happened to us in lockdown" films the last few years.
