We review the incredible new horror film "The Rule of Jenny Pen," starring John Lithgow as an unhinged retirement home tyrant, and Geoffrey Rush, as the latest target of his sadistic aggression. This film's acting, writing, and directing set a new bar for excellence in 2025.
Read MoreLast year, when everyone and their hotter, younger selves were praising “The Substance,” another excellent body horror film swept the film festival circuit. From New Zealand director Sasha Rainbow, comes “Grafted,” which finally gets a US release this week on Shudder. Her candy-coated fable, about a lonely outsider trying to assimilate (in more ways than one) was one of my favorite films of last year. Rainbow talked to Macabre Daily about the making of the film, and how she “graduated” from shorts to her first feature. Check it out!

Read MoreIf you give a mouse a cookie, the mouse will ask for a glass of milk. If you give a DIY filmmaking collective a real budget and a crew, they’ll give you a gooey good time. That’s what the Adams Family has brought us with this year’s Shudder exclusive, “Hell Hole.” John Adams, his wife Toby Poser, and their daughters Lulu Adams and Zelda Adams are known for making handmade, but striking horror films in upstate, New York. They write, direct, score, act in, and edit their own films, and have been doing so for years. This time, they've moved production to Serbia to tell a creature feature, Adams-style.
Read MoreA new Adams Family film is becoming an annual tradition. The prolific filmmaking family is back with arguably their most accessible film yet, the Shudder exclusive “Hell Hole.” John Adams and Toby Poser have directed another, homemade horror film, co-written with their daughter Lulu Adams (their other daughter and collaborator Zelda Adams is hanging back for this one, since she’s starting a modeling career, but don’t worry, she’s still in the band).
Read MoreWith their third film in almost as many years, the Adams family is slowly becoming one of the most prolific indie horror collectives. After giving us witches (“Hellbender”) and Satanic pacts (“Where the Devil Roams”), John Adams, Toby Poser, as well as their daughter Zelda Adams and Lulu Adams are ready to enter the world of sci-fi body horror with the Shudder original, “Hell Hole!”

Read MoreWatching “Oppenheimer” in a packed theater was one of the more shocking movie moments of 2023. Not because of how the display of Cillian Murphy’s hubris will kill us all someday, but because of his first sex scene with Florence Pugh. It was short and tame, yet people gasped like they just realized Bruce Willis was dead. It was as if this 17+ audience had forgotten movies used to have sex scenes. But Joe Lynch, he with a recall that rivals Pepperidge Farms, remembers. His new film “Suitable Flesh” is a throwback love letter to the 1990’s by being both an erotic thriller and a cosmic horror film. This isn’t to say we were all perverts in the ‘90s, but moviegoers in general were used to watching a nude scene or two in major R-rated releases. Paul Verhoeven, the daimyo of erotic thrillers, peppered them in, while still serving the story instead of descending into porn (while I never cared for them one way or the other, why as there so much nudity in “Starship Troopers?”) Lynch walks the line between Verhoeven and the late great Stuart Gordon (who allegedly pitched Lynch to direct this before he passed) in creating a body-hopping horror film with blood, galore.
