KNOCK AT THE CABIN | Stream now

From M. Night Shyamalan Knock at the Cabin is set at a remote holiday cabin, where a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse.

THE BLACKENING | Stream now

Horror fans know the Black character is traditionally the first to die – but what if the entire cast is Black?

The Blackening is out to skewer the genre tropes, centring on a group of Black friends who reunite for a weekend getaway, only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer.

THANKSGIVING | Stream now

After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a masked Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorises Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the holiday. Picking off residents one by one, the random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister holiday plan. Will the town uncover the killer and survive the holidays – or become guests at his twisted holiday dinner table?

The horror stars TikTok phenom Addison Rae and rising star Milo Manheim, along with the likes of Gina Gershon, Rick Hoffman and Patrick Dempsey .

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER | Stream now

The Last Voyage of the Demeter chronicles the doomed journey of a merchant ship ferrying 50 mysterious wooden crates from Carpathia to London. The crew soon discover they are not alone: at night they are stalked by a hidden passenger whose monstrous thirst for blood turns the trip into a harrowing nightmare.

THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER | Stream now

It’s been a little over 50 years since arguably the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world and becoming the first horror nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

Now Blumhouse (Get Out, M3GAN) and director David Gordon Green (who resurrected the Halloween franchise) deliver The Exorcist: Believer.

Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding has raised their daughter, Angela, on his own. When Angela and her friend Katherine disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.
