The first "V/H/S" movie was released in 2012, which was actually four full years before the last manufacturers of VCRs, Funai Electric, finally halted production on the medium.
VHS was, for those of a certain age, a seminal and ubiquitous technology. Prior to VHS, the only way to see certain cinematic classics was either to go to a repertory theater (which used to be far more common) and see it on the big screen (requiring a well-curated arthouse in your town) or to wait for something to broadcast on network TV (which was often edited for content or time). With the advent of VHS, movies were on-demand for the first time. One could rent their movies from a local video store and watch them at their leisure.

Spooky season is upon us. ‘Tis the time for things that go bump in the night, and we’ve got a curated selection of some of the best new horror movies streaming right now to get you in the mood. There were a number of solid horror films released over the past year, from a couple of nun-centric films to the vampiric “Abigail” to Russell Crowe as an exorcising priest.
There’s a lot to consider, is what we’re saying, but if you pick one of the scary movies on this list we guarantee you’ll be satisfied.

Not only did Ms. Lauryn Hill actually show up at her Columbia High School reunion in Maplewood, New Jersey earlier this month, but she also surprised her former classmates by delivering an impromptu performance.
Videos that have surfaced on social media show Hill running through some of her signature songs, like “Ex-Factor,” “Doo Wop (That Thing),” and “Lost Ones” from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and the Fugees smash “Ready or Not.” On the latter track, she changed the lyrics to shout out her former stomping grounds: “Chs taking over/ Buffalo soldier, dreadlock Rasta.”
Watch footage from Hill’s surprise performance below.
Raised in South Orange, New Jersey, Hill graduated from Columbia High School in 1993. She formed Fugees and landed her breakthrough roles in As the World Turns and Sister Act 2 while still attending Chs.

IFC Films and Shudder have released the first trailer for Cheap Thrills director E.L. Katz's second feature, Azrael, which had its world premiere at South by Southwest festival back in March before screening at the Overlook Film Festival and at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival shortly after.
Playing out in real-time, the movie stars Samara Weaving as a woman named Azrael - the Biblical name for the Angel of Death - living in a post-Rapture world where nobody speaks (whether by choice of not is unclear) who is captured by a devout cult and taken into the forest as a sacrifice to a mysterious demonic creature.
In the teaser, we see that Azrael manages to escape her bonds, and proceeds to exact bloody revenge on her pursuers. There are also a couple of creepy shots of the evil entity from the woods, but it's difficult to make out exactly what the monster is.

Una siniestra secta en Nueva York.
De acuerdo con The Hollywood Reporter, Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette y Tom Felton protagonizarán la película de terror del director Kirill Sokolov (¿Por qué no te mueres?), They Will Kill You, coescrita junto a Alex Litvak (Predators).
La película, cuyo rodaje está previsto para mediados de septiembre, se presenta como una película de terror aderezada con humor negro que cuenta la historia de una mujer que responde a un anuncio de empleo para ser ama de llaves en un misterioso rascacielos de Nueva York, sin saber que se adentra en una comunidad en la que se han producido varias desapariciones a lo largo de los años y que podría estar en las garras de una secta satánica. La han descrito como una mezcla tonal de Ready or Not y The Raid.

Only a few rare songs ever turn into pop classics. But this one turned into a classic twice. “Killing Me Softly with His Song” has one of the longest, weirdest stories in pop history. In the 1970s, it hit Number One as a lush soft-soul hit for the smoothed-out R&b star Roberta Flack. In the 1990s, it became a hip-hop banger for the Fugees, showcasing Lauryn Hill’s vocals. Some fans prefer the gentle, mellow Flack hit; some prefer the reggae-inflected Fugees remake. But both versions became permanent classics...

Ten months have gone by since it was announced that Republic Pictures had acquired the North American distribution rights to the action horror film Azrael, for release through Paramount Global Distribution, in a high seven figure deal… and during that time, the distribution deal apparently fell apart, because Deadline reports that Azrael‘s North American distribution rights are now in the hands of IFC Films and the Shudder streaming service. IFC Films has already chosen a date for the theatrical release: September 27th. The movie will then be making its way to Shudder sometime later in the year.

One door closes, another opens. Just the other day, we heard that filmmaker Mike Flanagan was done with something: he doesn’t want to send any more bleak, hopeless endings into the world. And now, we hear that he has started something: a podcast called Directors Commentary, which is part of the newly launched SpectreVision Radio network. SpectreVision Radio is the podcast branch of the SpectreVision production company, headed up by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Ingle. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that SpectreVision Radio is set to be a home for podcasts focused on film, music and the arts, in addition to esoteric subjects including the paranormal and surprising history.
Podcasts on the network will include The Spiel, which is hosted by Scott Wampler and Eric Vespe (they recorded 12 episodes before Wampler passed away unexpectedly earlier this year); Visitations, from SpectreVision co-founders Wood and Noah; and shows...

Sink your teeth into Abigail when the acclaimed 2024 horror comedy makes its way to Peacock later this month. For those who have been waiting patiently for the vampire film to make its streaming debut, you won't have to wait much longer! Abigail drops on Peacock on Friday, July 19.
Releasing theatrically on April 19 (after making its initial debut at the Overlook Film Festival on April 7), Abigail will have taken exactly three months to stream, which is about par for the course with most theatrical-to-streaming debuts nowadays.

Peacock's release times aren't as strict as Netflix's usual 12 a.m. Pt/3 a.m. Et, but I imagine Abigail will be available that Friday morning, making Abigail the ideal Friday or Saturday night movie pick for those looking to relax and enjoy something entertaining without venturing out to the cinema.

Universal’s ballerina vampire horror movie Abigail arrives July 9 on Blu-ray and DVD from Universal, and we’ve learned today that the horror-comedy is also headed to Peacock.
Sink your teeth into Abigail, streaming exclusively on Peacock July 19.
In addition to Abigail, Peacock will also be exclusively streaming additional Universal Pictures horror favorites, including Lisa Frankenstein and M3GAN (+ Unrated).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her positive review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Radio Silence’s ballerina vampire movie is a bloody blast.” Her review continued, “It’s savagely inventive in terms of its vampiric gore, offering a thrill ride with sharp, pointy teeth.”
And yes, Abigail takes place in the same universe as Radio Silence’s Ready or Not!
In Abigail, “After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight.

Peacock announced on Monday morning that the vampire horror comedy Abigail from Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will begin streaming exclusively on the platform beginning July 19.
Notching a worldwide gross of over $42 million upon its release in theaters in April, Abigail watches as a heist team is hired by a mysterious fixer to kidnap the daughter of a powerful underworld figure. They must guard the 12-year-old ballerina for one night to net a $50 million ransom. But as the captors start to dwindle one by one, they discover to their mounting terror that they’re locked inside an isolated mansion with no ordinary little girl.
Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, the film putting a twist on Universal’s monster movie lineage stars Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Alisha Weir and Giancarlo Esposito.

Abigail is heading to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK in a Blood Bath Edition this July – more information on the release here.
For many years, I’ve tried to go in and see movies without watching a frame of footage in advance. In the case of Abigail, this approach proved particularly successful. I knew not much about the film, had avoided the trailers, I just knew it was from the Radio Silence directing team, who’d previously given us the brilliant Ready Or Not (and the two most recent Scream movies).
Accepting the trailer for Abigail was less keen to keep things under wraps, I had an absolute blast with the movie. Starring Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens and Alisha Weir, I recommend knowing as little as you can before watching the movie.
If you missed it in cinemas as many did, Universal has now confirmed a physical media release too.

If you are struggling to make it through a heartbreak, don’t rush to watch all these dramas about unhappy love and loneliness. Instead of it, remind yourself that you have strength and light inside your own heart, and these horrors will help you to do it.
Here are 5 horror gems to get over a breakup, handpicked by Reddit.
1. Midsommar (2019)
Reddit’s first choice is, probably, the most notorious horror that comes to mind in this respect. Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor here portray a troubled couple who attend a festival in rural Sweden and end up being involved in a cult. Be sure you’ll feel better and even more confident after seeing the relentless finale of this folk film.
2. You're Next (2011)

Even though people are used to horror characters not being as intelligent and inventive as they could be, there are a number of protagonists that stand out for their abilities to find a way out of a deadly mess. These include, undoubtedly, Sidney Prescott from the Scream franchise, as well as the leads of 2017’s hits, Get Out and It.
Neve Campbell’s Sidney paved the way for all modern female characters of the genre, and the lead of the horror we’re going to talk about is no exception. This slasher is claimed to be a must-watch because of only her, apart from its impeccably-written plot.
The film centers on the Davisons, an extremely wealthy family whose unity was seemingly broken long ago. In an attempt to mend their family ties, they decide to celebrate their wedding anniversary and invite all four children with their partners.

The MonsterVerse has, somewhat quietly, become one of the most reliable franchises going in Hollywood at the moment. For a full decade dating back to 2014's "Godzilla" right up through this year's "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," these films have built up a loyal audience with no signs of fatigue on the part of the viewers. While Warner Bros. and Legendary are quickly looking to get a new installment going, they will need a new director, as we recently learned that Adam Wingard will not be returning to the helm. So, who should take his place?
Wingard is the only filmmaker to direct two MonsterVerse installments, having helmed 2021's "Godzilla vs. Kong" as well as "The New Empire," which now ranks as the highest-grossing "Godzilla" movie ever. So sure, the studio would probably have liked him to return, but he's busy with other projects. Besides, that just opens the...

Scream 7 and the Escape from New York requel may be off the table for the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, but they have just set up a new high profile project. Deadline reports that Radio Silence is set to make The Robots Go Crazy, which has Andy Samberg of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Palm Springs, and Hot Rod attached to star in it.
Samberg is known for his comedy work, and sure enough, The Robots Go Crazy will be taking the Radio Silence team – which previously brought us the horror comedy Ready or Not, the slasher sequels Scream (2022) and Scream VI, the vampire movie Abigail, and segments of the horror anthologies V/H/S and Southbound – out of the horror genre. This project is being described as an action comedy.

Director duo Radio Silence confirm that a remake of John Carpenter’s Escape From New York is no longer on their slate.
Radio Silence are out and about at the moment promoting Abigail, their latest horror flick. When they aren’t going by their shared moniker, the duo are known as Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and together they have co-directed a string of successful films. They include 2019’s Ready Or Not and the Scream series’ well-received return to the screen with the confusingly-titled pair of films, Scream and Scream VI.
While their latest film, Abigail hasn’t roared towards profitability, the film has scored decent reviews and will no doubt continue to find an audience on streaming in the same way that Ready Or Not did.

It was announced two years ago that filmmaking team Radio Silence were working on bringing Snake Plissken back to the screen for a brand new movie based on John Carpenter’s Escape from New York for 20th Century Studios, with John Carpenter himself on board as an executive producer of the upcoming movie.
The project had originally been described as a “reboot,” but filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett had described it as more of a “requel.” Unfortunately, the pair revealed to Comicbook.com that they’re no longer developing the requel and have parted ways with the project.
Gillett told the outlet, “We are not, unfortunately. I think titles like that bounce around for a while and I think they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a few times. I think it’s just ultimately a tricky rights issue thing. There’s a clock on it and...

Abigail Arrives at Home 5/7, Exclusively on Digital Platforms: "The horror-fan-favorite director duo, Radio Silence, returns to deliver a new vision of vampires in Abigail, available for the first time exclusively on digital platforms where you can buy or rent beginning tomorrow, May 7, 2024, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and regarded as “a Bloody Blast” (The Detroit News), directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillet elevate the vampire genre challenging expectations at every blood-stained corner.
Abigail boasts beloved-horror cast Melissa Barrera and Kathryn Newton, as well as Dan Stevens, Giancarlo Esposito, Alisha Weir, Kevin Durand, the late Angus Cloud, and William Catlett.

The Og Woodboro final girl is returning to the Scream franchise after the series got a new stab at continuing when Ready or Not directors Matt Bertinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett revived the story with the 2022 sequel. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette would all make appearances in their respective characters in the fifth film. However, when it came to the 2023 sequel, Scream VI, Campbell’s Sidney Prescott would notably be missing for the first time in franchise history. The story would pick up from the point-of-view of the Carpenters, played by Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega. Neither star will be returning for Scream 7, paving the way for Campbell’s return…after the pay dispute that kept her out of the last film was settled.
Variety reports that the former Party of Five star confirmed that the studio, Spyglass Media Group, met her request and she replies with gratitude.

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys. Unfortunately, that comes at the expense of the main group of kidnappers/mercenaries who have absolutely no idea what they just got themselves into. The directing duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (also known as Radio Silence) unleashed a hellish feast for the senses earlier this year thanks to their horror flick with a twist, "Abigail." Because of the wonders of marketing, of course, we found out long before our doomed lead characters that the innocent-looking child they've chosen to hold for ransom is actually a bloodthirsty vampire (Alisha Weir). And in no time at all, the full weight of their predicament dawns on them as they realize that the hunters have now become the hunted in a horrific cat-and-mouse game set at a decrepit old mansion over the course of one endless day.

Less than one month after releasing in theaters, Universal has announced that their vampire ballerina horror movie Abigail will be headed home to “Premium VOD” this week.
We’ve learned this morning that you’ll be able to buy ($24.99) or rent ($19.99) Abigail at home beginning tomorrow, May 7, 2024, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
Abigail is the third vampire movie from the Universal Monsters brand in the past year, the film scaring up $34.7 million at the worldwide box office these past few weeks. That gives it a higher worldwide gross than both The Last Voyage of the Demeter ($21.7 million) and Renfield ($26.4 million), and it’s also the most critically successful of the three vampire movies.

The vampire horror sub-genre has become increasingly popular yet again. Of course, the main representative of the genre of the recent years is the new TV adaptation of Interview with the Vampire, based on Anne Rice's famous gothic horror novel, but today we will talk specifically about the movies.
Last year alone saw the release of two feature-length vampire horror films, Renfield by Chris McKay and The Last Voyage of the Demeter by André Øvredal. What they have in common are one aspect: an absolute failure in terms of critical and audience sympathy.
In this context, the new horror film Abigail is particularly noteworthy. Even though it is currently showing rather modest box office indicators, the new movie has already managed to get rave reviews. That's all thanks to how intelligently the script is constructed, with relevant and genuinely clever references and to the 20th century works that inspired it.

A fiercely capable woman with ice water in her veins finds herself in a creepy-looking mansion, where she has to survive a supernatural threat over the course of one endless night and eventually ends up covered in gore and viscera? If I had a nickel for every time a horror movie directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (aka Radio Silence) came out in the last five years with that exact same premise, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but you know how the rest of the meme goes. If this past weekend's "Abigail" triggered a nagging feeling of déjà vu, well, that's probably because the vampire movie packing a nasty bite (you can read /Film's review by Bj Colangelo here) shares quite a bit of DNA with the directing duo's previous movie, 2019's "Ready or Not."
Apparently, the creative team decided to lean into those similarities even more.

This past weekend was, without a doubt, one that several studios and pretty much every movie theater around the country (and much of the world for that matter) would like to forget. Several new releases hit theaters, including Guy Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," as well as Crunchroll's latest anime film, "Spy x Family Code: White." It was, however, Universal Pictures' horror/comedy "Abigail" that was the most high-profile release of the bunch. While the film did perform better than the other debuts, it fell well short of expectations and further cemented a point that has been quietly lingering for some time: Vampires are not generally good for business these days.
"Abigail" opened to just $10.2 million, coming in second place over the weekend to Alex Garland's "Civil War," which pulled in $11.1 million in its second frame. Overall, it was one of the worst weekends at the box office in 2024 to date.

Both extremely bloody cat-and-mouse chases through massive mansions, Radio Silence’s horror movies Ready or Not and Abigail (now playing in theaters!) are certainly cut from the same cloth, but do they actually take place within a shared universe? It was a question the filmmakers were asked, and their response suggests that the answer to that question is Yes.
Collider’s Perri Nemiroff asked the question of Radio Silence filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who co-directed both 2019’s Ready or Not and this year’s Abigail. As they point out, an Easter egg nestled within Abigail confirms a shared universe connection.
Bettinelli-Olpin tells Collider, “There is a portrait in the background of one of the scenes [in Abigail] of Henry Czerny’s [character from Ready or Not].” Gillet chimes in to clarify, “It would be a grandfather. A great, great, great, great grandfather [of Czerny’s character].”

If you are a horror fan then you might have heard about the director duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who gave us brilliant horror films like 2022’s Scream and 2019’s Ready or Not and now they are back with their new and even campier horror film Abigail. Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, the new horror film is a reimagining of the 1936 Universal Classic Monsters film Dracula’s Daughter and it follows the story of a group of kidnappers who are told to kidnap the daughter of a very powerful man and keep her in the house for 24 hours, but they quickly realize that the daughter might not be what she seems. Abigail stars Alisha Weir, Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Will Catlett, Kathryn Newton, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Giancarlo Esposito, and Matthew Goode.

Alex Garland’s dystopian political action film Civil War about an America torn apart triumphed over new vampire pic Abigail at the weekend box office.
Civil War held in well to stay No. 1 in its second weekend with $11 million for a healthy domestic total of $45 million for indie studio A24. The film has succeeded in uniting both blue states and red states.
Heading into the weekend, Universal’s Abigail was expected to take a bigger bite out of Civil War but instead opened to $10.2 million. That’s still a respectable number for a studio film that cost a modest $28 million to make before marketing.
Horror often struggles overseas, where Abigail only took in $5 million from 62 markets for a global start of $15.2 million,
Abigail is from Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the directing duo known as Radio Silence who were behind the reboot of the Scream franchise and the horror hit Ready or Not.

Ballerinas might look delicate, but there's a lot of strength behind those dance moves -- especially if the ballerina happens to be a vampire. "Abigail," the new horror flick from "Ready or Not" directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, stars Alisha Weir ("Matilda the Musical") as a tiny dancer who turns on the criminal crew who were hired to kidnap her for ransom. Being an extremely gory cat-and-mouse game set in a grand mansion, "Abigail" shares a lot of DNA with "Ready or Not," and it's off to an even better start at the box office.
Variety reports that "Abigail" grossed $4 million on its opening day, including $1 million from Thursday night previews, and it's expected to make at least $10 million over its opening weekend. That's slightly behind earlier projections of a $12-15 million debut, but ahead of the $8 million that "Ready or Not" made over its first weekend. With Alex Garland...

This article contains massive spoilers for "Abigail."
"Abigail" features a group of six mercenaries holding the eponymous girl (Alisha Weir) hostage in a manor. Who's really in the mousetrap here, though?
The trailer gave it all away, but Abigail is a vampire and has brought this group of six together for a feast — one they won't be leaving. It's like the inversion of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's previous mansion survival thriller, "Ready or Not." In that one, Grace (Samara Weaving), recently married into the wealthy Le Domas family, has to dodge her new in-laws as they play the most dangerous game. In "Abigail," a single, seemingly fragile girl hunts a group of people.
Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett previously directed "Scream" V and VI (Barrera starred in those movies before she was fired from "Scream" VII for pro-Palestine posts); "Abigail" inherits the meta-horror touch of "Scream." When the characters find out what Abigail is,...

Just as audiences may have finally finished cleaning off the blood splatter from Ready or Not and the two most recent Scream films, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have returned to the big screen with Abigail. And staying true to what horror fans have come to expect from their previous efforts, Abigail is a high-octane, high-energy horror film that pulls no punches or fangs, making for another scary good time at the cinema.

Update: As we enter the weekend, Radio Silence’s Abigail is duking it out for the #1 box office spot with Alex Garland’s Civil War, with both films currently projected to take $11M+ this weekend. Who will walk away with the #1 spot? We’ll soon find out.
Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will likely take the #3 spot, with the WWII period action film expected to take in somewhere between $9M-$11M. Taking the #4 spot, we’ve got Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which will finish its fourth weekend at the box office with $8.5M, bringing its domestic total to $170.66M.

Vampire films in the past decade or so have been hit or miss. With every Renfield, you have something
subpar sent straight to VOD. Lately, Universal Pictures has been killing it by dipping their toes back into their vampire lore with the above-mentioned Renfield and last summer’s The Last Voyage of the
Demeter.
As fun as those films were, Universal’s latest release, Abigail, is something on another level.
Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Matt Betinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s latest film.
I also had the joy of speaking with the cast, including a paired-up Melissa Barerra and Alisha Weir (who
were a power force together in both film and on-screen), Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, William
Catlett, and Kevin Durand. Frankly, I’m expecting to see major things for young Ms. Weir. Her performance here is incredible.

subpar sent straight to VOD. Lately, Universal Pictures has been killing it by dipping their toes back into their vampire lore with the above-mentioned Renfield and last summer’s The Last Voyage of the

Spring has been filled with scares, like Sydney Sweeney’s “Immaculate,” the “Omen” prequel “First Omen” and the talk-show thriller “Late Night With the Devil” in recent weeks. Now the vampiric “Abigail,” from the directors of the last two “Scream” movies, is sinking its teeth into the box office with $1 million in previews so far.
"Abigail” is expected to make between $12 million to $15 million in its opening weekend, edging out last week’s champion, A24’s “Civil War.” Universal’s R-rated horror only cost $28 million, so as long as the first weekend hits the higher end of estimates, it should have no issues making a profit by the end of its theatrical run.
