1. Nosferatu (released January 1st, 2025)
Director Robert Eggers (The Witch; The Lighthouse; The Northman) has been planning his Nosferatu remake for years. It's now about to come to life in all its lusciously Gothic, atmospheric glory.
It's a fresh take on the groundbreaking 1922 silent horror film that gave birth to practically every horror movie cliche one can think of. Eggers' film sports an all-star cast including Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Emma Corrin. And in the role of the terrifying Count 'Nosferatu' Orlok: Bill Skarsgard whose role as Pennywise in the IT films surely informs us of the terror to come.
2. Wolf Man
Invisible Man helmer Leigh Whannell reunites with horror experts Blumhouse to steer this reboot of the classic Universal Studios monster property. Christopher Abbot (Poor Things) stars as the poor soul caught between his human principles and his bestial nature.
3. The Monkey
Longlegs director Osgood Perkins adapts this creepy Stephen King short story, which hails from the writer's 1985 Skeleton Crew collection. A seemingly innocuous banging cymbal monkey toy becomes an emblem of dread and panic.
4. 28 Years Later
We've waited a long time for the latest chapter in the skin-crawling viral outbreak series. With Danny Boyle back at the helm and Alex Garland back on scripting duties, we once again come face to face with the dreaded Rage virus some 28 years after the initial outbreak in Boyle and Garland's seminal 28 Years Later (2002). Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are the new additions to the cast and original star Cillian Murphy is reputed to be joining the cast.
5. M3GAN 2.0
Memeable movie hit M3GAN repped a huge hit for Blumhouse studios, reveling in its campy story about a killer humanoid robot who just can't resist the urge to dance. With M3GAN's physical body now gone, she's set to be absorbed into the mainframe of her former family's smart home, which promises more terror.
6. Untitled Conjuring film
7. Saw XI
You just can't keep the Jigsaw killer down. Tobin Bell's iconic serial killer scored a critical and commercial success with 2023's Saw X, and now he's back to devise more fiendish traps to punish the wayward and unworthy.
8. The Bride!
Oscar nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal turns director for this lavish throwback to the golden age of the Universal monster movie. An all-star cast fronts this remake of The Bride of Frankenstein, including Penelope Cruz, Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley, Peter Saarsgard and Annette Bening.
9. The Black Phone 2
Scott Derrickson's creepy 2023 chiller The Black Phone was adapted from Joe Hill's short story of the same name and was powered by Ethan Hawke's menacing performance as child killer The Grabber. With Hawke's character seemingly dead and buried, we wonder where the story will go from here.
10. Five Nights at Freddy's 2
The hugely successful Five Nights at Freddy's gaming franchise spawned an equally successful movie adaptation in 2023. The haunted children's arcade once again takes centre stage in Blumehouse's sequel, which is expected to delve even further into the complex lore that underpins the games themselves.
