The modern home is a myth. It is sold not as shelter but as a sanctuary, a curated fortress against the chaos of the world. In Push, Natalie, a real estate agent, is a purveyor of this myth, tasked with selling the unsellable: a sprawling estate whose history is as dark and cavernous as its hallways.

Her own life is a monument to fractured ideals; she is eight months pregnant and navigating the aftershocks of her partner’s death. The house, then, is a perfect mirror for her state—vast, beautiful, and fundamentally broken.

She is attempting to sell a dream she can no longer afford to believe in. When her final appointment of the day arrives, a quiet man credited only as “The Client,” the professional facade crumbles. His presence is an immediate violation, a quiet tear in the fabric of civility. With his arrival, the house ceases to...

While most of the world spends this weekend going to see James Gunn’s Superman up on the big screen, you might want to instead cozy up with some new horror movies. And you’d be in luck, because nine brand new ones have released at home and in theaters this week.

Here’s all the new horror that released from July 7 – July 11, 2025!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

David Cronenberg’s new movie The Shrouds received a limited theatrical release from Sideshow and Janus Films back in April, and it’s finally now available at home.

You can rent The Shrouds on VOD or stream exclusively on The Criterion Channel.

“In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth.

Writers/Directors David Charbonier and Justin Powell have a way with single-location thrillers that are simplistic in setup but visceral in unrelenting suspense. Their style of lean, efficient storytelling that puts the horror first continues with their latest, Push (formerly titled Open House). Armed with a much bigger location and stylish cinematography, Charbonier and Powell’s new movie makes for a more mature effort that delivers (pun intended) in a massive way when it comes to nail-biting tension and intense thrills.

Realtor Natalie (Alicia Sanz) takes on the impossible task of selling a sprawling, stunning estate that’s been vacant for many years thanks to a grisly murder that took place there. Her boss doesn’t think she can do it; no one has so far. But Natalie has a lot riding on this sale. She’s still trying to pick up the pieces from the loss of her significant other,...

Push is Shudder’s intense home invasion thriller from David Charbonier and Justin Powell, the writing / directing duo responsible for The Boy Behind the Door and The Djinn. Starring Alicia Sanz and Raúl Castillo, Push revolves around "a pregnant realtor who is attacked by a sadistic killer at her open house, sending her into premature labor. Up against a physiological ticking clock, Natalie must find a way to escape before she gives birth." From the origins of the story, to casting, the on-set experience, and influences, I caught up with Charbonier and Powell to discuss the making of Push for our latest video interview.

"Haunted by the memory of her late fiancé, Natalie Flores finds herself 8 months pregnant and in desperate need of a new start. Determined to regain her sense of self, she moves to America and uses her real estate license to take on a challenging listing.

However,...

The home invasion thriller Push is coming to the Shudder streaming service on July 11th – and with that release date right around the corner, a trailer for the film has made its way online and can now be seen in the embed above.

Push is the latest film from the writing and directing duo of David Charbonier and Justin Powell, who have previously brought us the 2020 kidnap thriller The Boy Behind the Door and the 2021 supernatural horror film The Djinn. The story they crafted for this one centers on Natalie Flores, a pregnant realtor who is attacked by a sadistic killer at her open house, sending her into premature labor. Up against a physiological ticking clock, Natalie must find a way to escape before she gives birth. Alicia Sanz of Prime Video’s El Cid stars as Natalie Flores, with Raúl Castillo of the Netflix release Army of the Dead as the sadistic killer.

Today we’ve got eyes on the trailer for Push, a terrifying new thriller coming soon from Shudder. The film hails from filmmaking duo David Charbonier and Justin Powell, who are quickly becoming two of the most exciting voices in indie horror. Now, their mysterious new home invasion shocker hits Shudder on Friday, July 11th.

This premiered at the 2024 Sitges Film Festival last year, then also played at the Cinequest Film Festival where it won the Best Horror Feature award. Shudder will be streaming this dark horror film on their channel starting in July coming up this summer. Starring Alicia Sanz and Raúl Castillo, the home invasion film follows Natalie Flores (Sanz), a pregnant realtor who is attacked by a sadistic killer (Castillo) at her open house, sending her into premature labor. Up against a physiological ticking clock, Natalie must find a way to escape before she gives birth. Aside from Sanz and Castillo, the cast also includes David Alexander Flinn.

A pregnant realtor bites off more than she can chew when she attempts a daunting open house. That’s before it turns into a harrowing siege in the new trailer for Push.

David Charbonier and Justin Powell (The Boy Behind the Door, The Djinn) are back with the upcoming home invasion horror movie releasing on Shudder July 11, 2025.

Alicia Sanz (El Cid) and Raúl Castillo (Smile 2) lead the cast.

Fans of Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession weren’t exactly thrilled to learn that a remake is on the way from Paramount and Smile filmmaker Parker Finn, but director Razka Robby Ertanto beat the remake to the punch with Possession: Kerasukan.

The loose Indonesian remake of the cult horror film has quietly been available to stream on Netflix for months.

The synopsis reads the same, “Returning from military duty, Faris is shocked to learn that his wife wants a divorce. He decides to investigate and discovers a sinister secret.”

Żuławski’s film recently received a new 4K restoration, “Banned upon release in 1981, Żuławski’s stunningly choreographed nightmare of a marriage unraveling is an experience unlike any other.

Both of their previous films placed focus on kids, and both starred Ezra Dewey. With Push, Charbonier and Powell step into the world of home invasion, telling the story of Natalie Flores, a realtor who is holding an open house at a huge property she is tasked with selling. Unfortunately, the home was the site of a grisly murder years earlier. Natalie, who is pregnant, is attacked by a killer during her open house,...

“Push” stars Alicia Sanz, seen in Prime Video’s “El Cid,” and Raúl Castillo, seen in “Smile 2” and “Army of the Dead,” as a realtor and a killer, respectively.

Writers/Directors David Charbonier and Justin Powell, the exciting duo behind recent horror movies The Djinn and The Boy Behind the Door, are back with a new intense horror movie in Push (read my review).

The film, which just received its world premiere at Sitges, follows a pregnant realtor, Natalie, who must survive a night of terror when a deranged client shows up at her open house. That the woman is on the cusp of giving birth means time is of the essence, compounding survival odds.

Alicia Sanz (El Cid) and Raúl Castillo star in the tense home invasion horror movie.

Bloody Disgusting spoke with the filmmakers ahead of Push‘s premiere about the film’s origins and how they keep wringing maximum, nail-biting tension from minimalist, single-location setups.

Like the filmmaker’s previous films, Push (formerly titled Open House) takes place almost entirely within a house. But this house is a labyrinthine mansion,...

"We start thinking about the things we're missing... and forget about the things we have." Holy hell this looks freaky! IFC Films has released an official trailer for the indie horror The Djinn, finally being released in May this year in both theaters + on VOD at the same time. A mute boy is trapped in his apartment with a sinister monster when he makes a wish to fulfill his heart's greatest desire. That is a simple setup, but this looks insanely creepy overall. This stars Ezra Dewey as Dylan, along with Rob Brownstein, Tevy Poe, Donald Pitts, and John Erickson. The apartment cinematography in this (by Dp Julián Estrada) is what makes it effectively scary. This really seems like it could end up a sleeper hit just because it's so disturbing. Here's the first official trailer for David Charbonier & Justin Powell's The Djinn, from IFC's YouTube: A...

What’s your heart’s desire? Would you pay any price to make it happen? One young man is faced with the deliberately intoxicating prospect in IFC Midnight’s “The Djinn.” Balancing personal grief and self-awareness, his decision to literally find a voice where he previously had none proves too much to resist.
