Destroy All Neighbors (2024)
Release Date: January 12
Here’s a movie we expect will be relatable to you, especially if you struggle to work from home because of your proverbial neighbors from hell! Not that we’re suggesting your life should follow this movie’s plotline, however, as the guy having problems with his noisy neighbor ends up decapitating him. This clearly shouldn’t be the solution to your own difficulties with the annoying people living near to you!
Here’s the synopsis for this gruesome new splatter comedy from director Josh Forbes (Decay).
“William Brown, a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad. Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla.” (source)
The Elderly (2022)
Release Date: January 15
The grandparents are definitely not alright in this Spanish horror movie about an elderly man who enters into a state of dementia after the troubling suicide of his wife. His behavior gets increasingly weirder from then on, much to the consternation of his family whose lives he puts at risk.
The Passenger (2021)
Release Date: January 15
In this Spanish chiller, a group of strangers sharing a ride have their trip interrupted when the driver hits a female hiker in the dark of night. They decide to help her and let her into the van but it’s not long before they begin to regret their decision.
Suitable Flesh (2023)
Release Date: January 26
Loosely adapted from H.P. Lovecraft’s short story The Thing On The Doorstep, this upcoming movie from Mayhem director Joe Lynch stars Heather Graham and horror legend Barbara Crampton (From Beyond).
The movie tells the story of a once-esteemed psychiatrist who murders one of her patients. Why did she do it? As the movie’s events are apparently linked to an ancient unstoppable curse, there’s a chance she wasn’t in the right mind when she committed the crime.
