This Week's Notable Horror: 05/05 - 05/11

This first full week of May introduces a number of new releases to check out. Within the lot we have the slasher CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, which lands in theaters on Friday. Also releasing on VOD the same day is the Australian horror flick THE MOOGAI and THE UGLY STEPSISTER. However, if you have Shudder you can find THE UGLY STEPSISTER on there as well. Check below for everything notable coming this week.

Desert Fiends (2024)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10

Check out this incredible cast: Michael Pare, Scout Taylor-Compton, Robert LaSardo, Tom Arnold, William McNamara, Spencer Breslin, Eric Roberts, Lorelei Linklater, Nicole Butler, Lisa Wilcox, Bai Ling, Eileen Dietz, Bill Connor, Zachary Vasquez and of course…Shawn C. Phillips.

Static Codes (2023)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10

As a fan of all things related to alien abductions in the Sci-Fi world of horror, Static Codes brings a new and refreshing approach by means of limiting the bells and whistles one would expect to see in a story about the unknown phenomenon.

The Final Frame (2025)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10

Since reviewing A Stranger in the Woods and The Black-Eyed Children, Jozsef Gallai hasn’t failed me yet so it only made sense to settle in for his newest creation: The Final Frame.

Dariuss (2023)

REVIEWER RATING: 
8/10

“The most important questions are the unanswered ones.” Give that a moment to sink in, rid your mind of all preconceived notions of what makes a good horror film and hit play on DARIUSS. This is NOT your typical scary movie. Because there is NOTHING typical about DARIUSS.  

This Week's Notable Horror: 04/28 - 05/04

It looks like April is going out with a bang, as we've got a dozen notable releases this week. If you missed them in theaters tomorrow sees DEATH OF A UNICORN and DROP land on PVOD. If you'd rather wait until Friday you'll have more options like the new shark flick FEAR BELOW on VOD or the supernatural movie ROSARIO in theaters.

The Wonderbar (2025)

REVIEWER RATING: 
8/10

Horror comes in many forms and is inarguably incomparable to the horror of losing a loved one at an early age. They say the stages of mourning descend upon you in multiple phases…the toughest one, in my personal opinion, is grief.    

AYNIB PODCAST: Episode 142 RIP Val Kilmer

We’re back for another resounding episode of everyone’s favorite podcast. We have a lot of fun on this one, Ryan, Mike, and Shane (and of course Ziggy) are buying houses, going to concerts, and watching their friends puke (not necessarily in that order).

American Trash: Director's Cut (2024)

REVIEWER RATING: 
10/10

I rarely give out a perfect rating to any film as my standards (albeit minimum in criteria) are high in my expectations of a seamless picture: keep my attention; make me think; be unpredictable; give me a reason to rewatch this.  

Amityville Apt. (2025)

REVIEWER RATING: 
1/10

On November 13, 1974, Ron DeFeo Jr. shot and killed his entire family while they slept in Amityville, NY.
