The first half of 2024 was pretty unkind to a lot of movies. The box office was on life support for most of that period and it all felt kind of bleak for anyone who pays attention to such things. The most depressing part was that quite a few great movies were being hung out to dry, including "The Fall Guy" and "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," among others. "Abigail," the latest horror movie from the filmmaking collective known as Radio Silence, was also a big disappointment theatrically. Fortunately though, it's finally finding its audience.

"Abigail" is currently streaming on Prime Video and, as of this writing, is sitting in the number four spot on Amazon's most-watched movies chart (via FlixPatrol). It's currently only trailing Mark Wahlberg's 2021 sci-fi flop "Infinite" (which also recently found new life on Prime Video), Nancy Meyers' perennial 2006 rom-com "The Holiday,...

Ghostface has a new target.

Isabel May, best known for starring in Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923, has nabbed the plum role of Neve Campbell’s daughter in Scream 7 and is in talks to star opposite the Scream Queen.

The seventh installment of the horror franchise, being made by Spyglass Entertainment, is in rebuilding mode after losing its young stars Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera. Campbell, who sat out the previous installment due to a salary dispute, is back for the new feature that will focus on her character, Sidney Prescott, and her daughter.

Kevin Williamson — the creator of the franchise who penned the script to the Wes Craven-directed original, as well as Scream 2 and Scream 4 — is directing. Guy Busick, who wrote 2022‘s Scream and Scream VI, wrote the script.

Anyone who’s seen Anora talks about the home-invasion scene.

The 28- minute thriller sequence, a tour de force worthy of Hitchcock, comes about an hour in. Up until then, Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning movie has been an R-rated version of Pretty Woman. “Basically a romantic comedy, maybe a dirty romantic comedy, but a romantic comedy,” says the American indie auteur.

Anora, or Ani, a 23-year-old stripper living in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, played by Mikey Madison, hooks up with the slightly younger 21-year-old Ivan (Mark Eydelshteyn, who has been called the Timothée Chalamet of Russia), the son of a Russian oligarch. What starts as a sex worker/client relationship — after a lap dance, Ivan asks if he can have Ani “exclusively” for a week — turns into something more. A whirlwind romance, involving a week of wild parties, and wilder sex, ends in Vegas, where Ivan, smitten and enticed...

While we wait to find out if Anna Faris and Regina Hall will return for the recently announced Scary Movie 6, at least one actor has confirmed that a fan-favorite character from Scary Movie will be back for the upcoming installment. Dave Sheridan, who plays Officer Doofy in the 2000 film (a parody of Scream character Dewey Riley) recently shared that Ghostface will return.

YouTuber Josh Ludemann (@Crazydog500) posted an in-depth video with Sheridan discussing props from the original spoof movie. In it, Sheridan talks a lot about the mask from the film, along with other props and costumes they used, and he shares a lot of fascinating behind-the-scenes secrets.

I recommend watching the video in its entirety but if you want to skip straight to the part where he discusses Scary Movie 6, you can do so in the embedded video below (the conversation begins around the 17:00 minute mark...

Every year of late seems to be a great year for horror, so it's hardly a surprise that 2024 is holding its own in the scares department. As has been the case with the genre, the fun of this year's terror pictures have been how they attack our fears from unexpected angles while placing fresh spins on seemingly hoary forms. Think you're totally checked out on slasher flicks? Here's Chris Nash's "In a Violent Nature" to pull you back in. Feel like the serial killer procedural has aped "The Silence of the Lambs" into hideous self-parody? Oz Perkins has a little number called "Longlegs" that injects that formula with an unsettlingly atmospheric and just plain bizarre energy (that last element coming courtesy of Nicolas Cage who wanders through the film shrieking like a banshee). Done with vampires? The "Ready or Not" duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have a...

What’s your favorite scary movie?

For throngs of fans in attendance at Rhode Island Comic Con in Providence this past weekend, the emphatic answer was Wes Craven‘s Scream.

Actors David Arquette (Dewey), Skeet Ulrich (Billy), Matthew Lillard (Stu), Jamie Kennedy (Randy), Rose McGowan (Tatum), Roger L. Jackson (voice of Ghostface), Lee Waddell (Ghostface), and Dermot Mulroney (Scream VI‘s Detective Bailey) participated in a reunion panel on Saturday.

“The fact that this movie has spanned generations is unbelievable to us,” a grateful Ulrich greeted the packed audience.

“We’re so thankful for you for taking the time out of your lives to come and see us and for the love and the warmth that you share when we get to meet you. We don’t always have a ton of time, but we try and take as much time as possible to really show our love for you.

Matthew Lillard played one of the original Ghostfaces, Stu Macher, alongside Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) in Wes Craven's Scream, and despite the character seemingly meeting a violent end, fans continue to speculate and theorize that the deranged killer could return in the upcoming Scream 7.

Stu appeared to be pretty definitively killed off during the climax of the movie, but we have seen plenty of people survive what should be fatal wounds in the franchise, so who knows?

For his part, Lillard has said that he believes Stu is still alive, and would be happy to reprise the role if that was something fans wanted to see.

“Stu is definitely alive, right? My character Stu is definitely alive. I would love it. If it made sense for the franchise. If Kevin [Williamson] liked it. Then sure. Obviously.”

Williamson is set to helm the next movie in the long-running horror franchise,...

Although there have been some bumps in the road (to put it mildly), the Scream franchise is trucking forward with a seventh installment set to be directed by original Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson. Matthew Lillard, who played Stu Macher in the first Scream movie, told GamesRadar+ that he believes the franchise is in a good place but that recent sequels have gotten “too violent.“

“I think it’s in a good place. I think that [the movie being] back in the hands of Kevin Williamson is great. I love what [Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin] were doing before. nothing against them. In fact, I thought they were taking a really exciting way,” Lillard said. “I thought the movie got too violent. I think 6 was, like… I don’t think Ghostface ever needs a shotgun. I think that the movies are – everything is trying to repeat what we did in the first movie in a lot of ways.

In the ever-evolving world of entertainment, few horror film franchises have managed to maintain their chilling legacy akin to that of Scream. Renowned for its signature blend of suspense, meta-commentary, and the iconic Ghostface, it won’t be wrong to state that it has now become a benchmark in slasher cinema.

However, in recent times, the franchise has evolved and adapted to keep up with the rest of its contemporaries, introducing elements that would not have been found in the original film. And Matthew Lillard, who played the unforgettable Stu Macher has a lot to say about it all.

For the first time in the franchise’s history, original Scream writer Kevin Williamson will be seated in the director’s chair for the upcoming Scream 7, with Neve Campbell taking center stage once more as iconic character Sidney Prescott. Fellow original Scream star Matthew Lillard has made no secret of the fact that he’d like to return as well – “Stu is definitely alive,” he recently proclaimed – but he’s excited to see Williamson’s directorial vision either way.

Speaking with Games Radar+, Lillard offered up his thoughts on the two Scream movies directed by Radio Silence, while also expressing his excitement about the franchise’s future.

Lillard tells the outlet, “I think it’s in a good place. I think that [the franchise being] back in the hands of Kevin Williamson is great. I love what [Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin] were doing before. nothing against them. In fact, I thought...

With Scream VII set to take the franchise back to its roots, Matthew Lillard is excited to see what’s next.

After Scream (1996) original writer Kevin Williamson was announced to return to the franchise to direct the upcoming seventh installment, the actor expressed his excitement to see which direction the next slasher sequel goes.

“I think it’s in a good place. I think that [the movie being] back in the hands of Kevin Williamson is great,” he told GamesRadar+. “I love what [Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin] were doing before. nothing against them. In fact, I thought they were taking a really exciting way.”

Lillard noted that he wasn’t a fan of the shotgun scene in Scream VI. “I thought the movie got too violent,” he said. “I think 6 was, like… I don’t think Ghostface ever needs a shotgun. I think that the movies are – everything is trying to repeat...

From its iconic characters to its lines that have entered the cultural zeitgeist, there are few horror franchises as influential as Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s Scream meta-slasher series. So let’s take a look back on all of the films and see where they stand – here are the Scream movies ranked!

6. Scream 3 (2000)

Ahhh the black sheep of the Scream franchise. Even as the clear worst entry, there’s still a certain charm to the third film. The Hollywood setting (dictated by the Studio after the Columbine shootings) really fits in well with the movie-centric series. Sure, the mismanaged killer and ghost mom portions are a little strange. Plus those Jay and Silent Bob cameos don’t exactly help matters. But this provides us Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley doing their thing. And, even if it doesn’t work, they connect it with all the films...

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.

The start of the home invasion in The Strangers (2008)

I don’t think anyone took a breath the entire scene. We collectively gasped when he appears behind her and we all screamed when she opens the shades and sees him up close on the other side of the window. It’s a masterfully orchestrated scene, from the use of handheld long takes to the haunting Joanna Newsom song and Liv Tyler’s pitch-perfect performance. From this scene on, all the idle whispering and chatter disappeared as the movie held the audience by the throat.

Madison began her career at a very young age by starring in a couple of short films and then she starred in her first feature film Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey in 2014 when she was 15-years-old but the film didn’t get released until 2017. Since then she has starred in many great films including a small role in Quentin Tarrantino‘s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin‘s Scream.

Horror cinema has undergone a significant transformation in 2024, offering a dynamic range of films that appeal to both die-hard fans and casual viewers alike. According to Rotten Tomatoes, five of the standout horror movies of 2024 include Late Night with the Devil (97% Tomatometer), Oddity (95%), Infested (95%), In Flames (95%), and Strange Darling (95%). Each of these films brings unique elements to the table, from supernatural drama to psychological thrillers, showcasing the diversity within the genre.

Horror films are now not only about scares but are also tackling complex societal and emotional themes, ranging from trauma and identity to technological anxieties. As directors explore new storytelling techniques and push boundaries, the genre is evolving to reflect contemporary issues, resonating deeply with modern audiences. The year isn’t over yet, and several highly anticipated horror films are still set to be released, including Smile 2, Heretic, and Nosferatu. These films promise to further the trend of...

Hip, hip, hooray! We finally have confirmation that a Ready or Not 2 is happening after months of speculation. On Oct. 12, Radio Silence (the team behind the first film) announced at a Searchlight screening for the 2019 film that started it all, Ready or Not, that a sequel was officially in the works. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming Ready or Not 2.

Unfortunately, it's unknown when production will start on the film. A release date hasn't been revealed either. However, this isn't surprising, seeing as though the sequel was just announced. It'll be some time before these juicy deets are revealed. However, what we do know is that Samara Weaving will be returning. Weaving starred in the leading role of Grace in the first film.

The sequel to 2017 horror Ready or Not is finally heading towards production, original directors Radio Silence and star Samara Weaving will return.

Despite the busy schedule of Radio Silence and the original film’s star, Samara Weaving, there have been talks about a sequel to Ready Or Not for several years. According to Deadline, Radio Silence have confirmed the sequel is happening and production will begin soon.

Weaving will return as Grace, and the actor said recently of the sequel, “I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in…I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together”.

Directorial duo Radio Silence – Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett – have built up a hugely successful filmography over the last few years.

Run, run, run! Time to run and hide... again! That's right, folks — five years after pulling off the most fucked up wedding night imaginable with 2019's horror-comedy-thriller Ready Or Not, it looks like the Radio Silence boys are getting set for some more fun and twisted parlour games in the Roncu. Per THR's reporting, directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are reuniting with star Samara Weaving for Ready Or Not 2. And if even the good word of The Hollywood Reporter isn't quite enough to convince you it's really happening, then check out the below Instagram post from Searchlight Pictures for extra visual confirmation:

The news of Ready Or Not getting a sequel was revealed ahead of a special Q&a screening of the first film last night at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, and comes hot on the heels of another hit for the Radio Silence collective earlier this...

The bride is back. The acclaimed wedding night horror-comedy “Ready or Not” is coming back for a sequel with lead actress Samara Weaving, who is no stranger to the genre cast in Netflix’s “The Babysitter” and the 2022 “Scream” film, among many others.

Production company Radio Silence is returning with the fan-favorite film centered around a children’s game turned deadly, along with Searchlight Pictures, who will distribute the horror movie. The film collective, also known for films like “Scream VI,” comprised of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez, and Chad Villella.

The first movie, released in 2019, was written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy and directed by Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett. It follows a young bride who discovers at her wedding reception that her in-laws have a peculiar game-night ritual that turns into a predator-prey, murder-spree version of Hide and Seek—all because of a deal her in-laws made with the devil.

Five years after bursting on the scene and re-introducing us to Ghostface (and promptly getting the hell away from him), filmmaking collective Radio Silence is reuniting with Samara Weaving for another game of hunt the fiancé. The Hollywood Reporter says their surprise 2019 hit, Ready Or Not, is finally getting a sequel.

One of the best recent horror comedy movies of recent years was 2019's "Ready or Not" -- and now it's coming back for round two. 

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that a sequel, currently bearing the apt title "Ready or Not 2," is in development. Samara Weaving, who starred in the original as unlikely heroine Grace, will return alongside directing duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett and executive producer Chad Villela. Earlier this year, Weaving had teased that she was "all in" for a "Ready or Not" sequel.

In "Ready or Not," Grace marries into the old money Le Domas family via their golden boy son Alex (Mark O'Brien). As part of a family tradition, Grace and her new in-laws have to play a game, chosen by random card draw. Grace draws Hide and Seek, the unluckiest card of them all. You see, the Le Domas ancestors made a pact with the demonic Mr.

Just a few weeks after Samara Weaving declared her interest in sequel to 2019’s Ready or Not, word comes that the Radio Silence horror flick is officially getting a follow-up…and we’re definitely ready!

While no details over plot or release schedule were announced, the Ready or Not sequel will bring back Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy as writers, in addition to Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett as directors. Weaving, too, will be returning as Grace, the central character of the original. In the 2019 movie, a bride meets her husband’s family, only to be drawn into the world’s most dangerous version of hide and seek.

Last month, Weaving expressed her drive in getting a Ready or Not sequel going and gave a tease of what was to come. “I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in.

After months of speculation, it’s official: Samara Weaving and Radio Silence will both be back for anticipated sequel Ready or Not 2, per Deadline.

The news was announced by Radio Silence at a Searchlight screening for their 2019 fan-favorite film. Production and release info will be announced at a later date.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directed Ready or Not. In addition to Samara Weaving, the cast included Adam Brody, Mark O’Brien, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell.

The first film introduced a mythology wherein the wealthy Le Domas family has made a deal with the devil, one that requires them to take part in bizarre – and deadly – wedding night traditions. There’s much that can be done with the premise going forward, even if the first movie ended with Weaving’s Grace massacring the family and burning down their estate.

The sequel announcement likely doesn’t come as a shock, as...

Searchlight Pictures has announced plans to make a sequel to the 2019 horror-comedy film “Ready or Not.” The announcement came during an event celebrating the studio’s 30th anniversary, where the directors and cast shared details about the upcoming project. “Ready or Not” told the story of a bride joining her wealthy husband’s strange family tradition, and received positive reviews for combining dark humor with suspenseful scenes.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will return to direct the sequel. They previously directed “Ready or Not” and went on to helm popular horror movies like last year’s “Scream” reboot. Samara Weaving also agreed to reprise her lead role as Grace, the bride from the first movie. In an interview, Weaving said she was eager to revisit the twisted world of the Le Domas family.

Searchlight Pictures is putting together an experienced production team including the original producers and executives who oversaw the first film.

Samara Weaving will be back as Grace for the highly anticipated Ready or Not 2!

The Australian actress will reprise her role in a sequel with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known as the filmmaking collective Radio Silence, back for the sequel too.

Adam Brody, Andie MacDowell, Henry Czerny, and more starred alongside Samara, but without giving anything away from the first movie, we’re going to assume they won’t be back!

While a sequel has been in talks for years, the news was announced at a special five-year anniversary screening of the movie on Saturday (October 12) at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

It’s official: Ready or Not 2 is in the works. The news is getting announced tonight by Radio Silence at a Searchlight screening for their 2019 cult horror pic which started it all. Principal photography and release date will be announced at a later date.

Ready or Not launched Radio Silence to a greater marquee fame to stateside audiences in addition to the movie’s lead Australian actress Samara Weaving.

The actress recently told ComicBook.com, “I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in…I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together.”

Samara Weaving and Radio Silence are walking down the aisle one more time.

The actress and filmmaking collective comprised of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella are reuniting to make Ready or Not 2, a sequel to their 2019 dark comedy horror hit, for Searchlight Pictures.

Written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, the movie told of a bride, played by Weaving, who learns of her new family’s wedding night ritual: Pulling a card from a puzzle card game. While playing if someone draws the Hide and Seek card, as she does, then a murderous game is played, all in order to appease an ancient family deal with the devil.

Among the cast were Adam Brody, Henry Czerny and Andie MacDowell.

Ready or Not, made for only $6 million, grossed over $28 million domestically and was the widest release for Searchlight at the time. It garnered strong critical reviews that praised...

One of the most unique franchises to emerge in the last fifteen years, V/H/S feels like an indefinite horror franchise. After enough of the filmmakers broke through in the mainstream, other emerging voices have been eager to add their names to the franchise. Like Punk Goes Pop or And1 Mixtape for horror, the series has become a scouting ground for the next great horror filmmakers. With the arrival of V/H/S/Beyond, we’re ranking the films of the franchise. Within each, we also do a mini-ranking of the shorts, so keep an eye out for your favorite shorts.

10 2024 Films that Will Get You Into the Halloween Spooky Season - Main Image

Though horror films are released all year round, the Halloween season in October is really the time to celebrate all things dark and creepy.

Several movies have been come to known as Halloween classics with films like The Thing, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Poltergeist, but 2024 has also brought in some interesting movies that should get you into the spooky season (in no particular order).

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Halloween isn’t always about things being scary. Sometimes things can just be gross and silly, and the Beetlejuice sequel from Tim Burton delivers a great return to his kooky depiction of the afterlife.

Wednesday star Jenna Ortega takes over the role of the dark gothic girl that was played by Winona Ryder in the original, and the movie also gives some interesting backstory to Beetlejuice as a character and why...

Spanning six live-action films, a television series, and even a franchise within a franchise, the “Scream” films have been scaring audiences since 1996.

The franchise was created by Kevin Williamson, who wrote “Scream,” “Scream 2” and “Scream 4.” The first four films were directed by legendary horror master Wes Craven.

Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin took over directing duties on the latest two films (Craven died in 2015) while Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt replaced Williamson as screenwriters. Williamson now makes his “Scream” directorial debut with the upcoming “Scream 7,” which brings Neve Campbell back to the franchise and will open in 2026.

If you’re new to the franchise, hello!

If you’re looking for nostalgia, Hello Sydney!

Here’s how to watch all the Scream movies in order.

Scream Movies in Chronological Order

The original “Scream” came out in 1996, followed by “Scream 2” one year later. But subsequent films are not titled numerically,...

“Scream 7,” the beleaguered next entry of the iconic horror franchise, has set a premiere date. On Tuesday, star Neve Campell announced that her return to Woodsboro will open in theaters on Feb. 27, 2026.

Campbell, who starred as Ghostface killer survivor Sidney Prescott in the first five films, is rejoining the franchise after sitting out 2023’s “Scream VI” due to a pay dispute. Also returning is franchise creator Kevin Williamson, who will direct from a script by Guy Busick. Williamson, who wrote three of the first four films, was an executive producer on the 2022 and 2023 revivals, but was not directly creatively involved until now. Courteney Cox, who has appeared in every “Scream” film so far, has not officially signed on yet, but is expected to return.

“Scream 7” has had a troubled path to the screen so far. After “Scream” and “Scream VI” — both directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett...

Ghostface will kill again.

“Scream 7,” the latest entry in the long-running horror franchise, will finally hit theaters on February 27, 2026, after enduring production delays, creative overhauls, and cast shakeups. The announcement was made on social media by Neve Campbell, who is returning to the series after sitting out the sixth installment due to a salary dispute, and Kevin Williamson, the creator of the series and the director of the sequel. The film has the date to itself — no other major releases are slated to premiere against the “Scream” sequel. The following weekend will see the release of “The Cat in the Hat” and Disney and Pixar’s “Hoppers,” both of which are aimed at family crowds.

Off-screen drama has swirled around “Scream 7” ever since the project was announced. Melissa Barrera, who starred in the previous two films, was fired from the sequel last year over comments she made on...

To the outside observer it may seem like every single year is called “one of the best years for horror ever,” but I’m going to let you in on a little secret: It’s never a bad year for horror. The entertainment industry damn near runs on scary movies, which are cheap to produce and able to take artistic risks that bigger budget genre films — the ones that have to sell tickets to everybody just to break in — are too timid to even consider. You can always find great horror movies. The trick is knowing where to look.

And that right there is the trick, because smaller movies don’t have huge advertising budgets, and they don’t drive traffic so publications can’t always allocate the resources to cover them. Great horror movies fall through the cracks all the time. Heck, even major theatrical releases don’t get...

Five years ago, genre regular Samara Weaving starred in a very cool horror comedy called Ready or Not, which was directed by Radio Silence members Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who went on to make the two most recent Scream sequels and the “Dracula’s daughter” movie Abigail. Earlier this year, it was announced that a sequel is now moving forward, with Escape Room director Adam Robitel taking the helm of a Ready or Not 2 that Radio Silence, still on board as producers, has promised will be “an absolute banger.” Now, during an interview with ComicBook.com, Weaving has confirmed that she is “all in” on the sequel.

When the subject of Ready or Not 2 came up, Weaving told ComicBook.com, “I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in. I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake,...

Back in April, reports did the rounds that a sequel to 2019 horror hit Ready or Not was in the works with Adam Robitel in talks to direct.

The original movie's directors, Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin (aka Radio Silence), would later confirm to Entertainment Weekly that the project is in the very early stages of development.

“It’s getting figured out. That’s what we’ll say: Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out,” Gillett told the site. “What we can say is that there is a script that is an absolute f*cking banger of a sequel. And however it gets made, and in whatever capacity we are helping get it made, we are so excited that it’s happening.”

“I don’t think we knew after making [Ready or Not] that there would be so much story left to tell,” Gillett continued. “We’re so proud of what that first movie is,...

A sequel to the Radio Silence hit Ready or Not is in the works, with Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan, Insidious: The Last Key, Escape Room, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions) in talks to direct Ready or Not 2. But will Samara Weaving be returning to star in the upcoming sequel? According to Weaving herself, she’s “all in.”

Weaving tells ComicBook.com this week, “I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in. I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together.”

Samara Weaving will next be seen in Azrael, in theaters September 27.

Ready or Not directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin had explained to Entertainment Weekly earlier this year, “Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out.

Samara Weaving is opening up about the possibility of her returning for the upcoming Ready or Not sequel.

The 32-year-old Australian actress starred in the first horror film, which was released in 2019 to good reviews, among critics and audiences alike.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that a sequel was in the works with director Adam Robitel and Samara reprising her role.

In a new interview, she addressed whether she actually will be returning or not.

“I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in,” Samara told ComicBook.com. “I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together.”

When could the sequel be happening? Samara joked, “I’ve just gotten home,...

Samara Weaving might have just confirmed that a sequel to the popular and acclaimed 2019 film Ready or Not is in the works!

While promoting her new horror movie Azrael to ComicBook, Weaving was asked about the rumored sequel and revealed that she is "all in" and thinks everyone else is on board, too. We're assuming she means filmmaking duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, also known as Radio Silence.

I think we're all in. I don't know if we've had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We've done the spit handshake, but we haven't cut each other's hands and rubbed our blood together.

She later joked that she'll have "to make some calls" soon to check on the status of the proposed sequel. However, we should note that Ready or Not 2 has been rumored for a few years and has not been officially confirmed. The rumor gained traction this past...

The honeymoon isn’t quite over for Samara Weaving as she contemplates returning to her breakout horror role.

The actress recently said she’s “all in” to reprise her bridal final girl Grace Le Domas for a potential sequel to her 2019 movie Ready or Not, which also helped launch Radio Silence directorial duo Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin.

“I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in,” Weaving told ComicBook.com. “I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together.”

In Ready or Not, Weaving plays newlywed bride Grace, whose eccentric new in-laws force her to partake in a deadly game of hide and seek to fulfill a supernatural family prophecy.

Loser follows Alice, a brilliant but troubled physicist, as she attempts to heal her trauma by using time travel. However, she gets caught in a twisty, cat-and-mouse game of murder and violence in New York City.

“With Loser the short, I wanted to examine that specific turbulence of your early 20s, when your hopes and fears seem magnified, and it’s easy to feel like a loser — until you realize how much bigger the world is, and how good we really have it. In the feature, these feelings spill over into a female-led time travel thriller,...

John Carpenter's "Escape from New York" gifted us with an unforgettable character referenced frequently in pop culture: Snake Plissken, brought to life by the brilliant Kurt Russell. Russell's cynical, no-nonsense approach to Plissken endures even after plans for a third "Escape" film fell through, and fans have been clamoring for the character's return, for good reason. A former U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant who fought in World War III, Plissken was quick to turn to a life of crime after feeling betrayed and disillusioned by the country's federal government, firmly establishing him as an anti-hero figure of sorts. However, both in "Escape from New York" and "Escape from L.A.," Plissken is the one we unconditionally root for, as the rot of corruption that grips the dystopian future emerges as far more deep-rooted and disconcerting than the flaws of one man.

A canceled Plissken sequel did not mean a complete discontinuation of the franchise,...

Stars: Alisha Weir, Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Will Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Giancarlo Esposito | Written by Stephen Shields, Guy Busick | Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett

A ragtag crew of criminals and hackers is assembled by Lambert (Giancarlo Esposito), working for someone he isn’t allowed to name. The crew’s job is to kidnap a young girl (Alisha Weir) and bring her to a seemingly abandoned house, watching her for 24 hours until her father pays up a ransom. What they don’t realize is they are way in over their heads — and nothing is as it seems.

In a year of commercially mid releases, horror films are having a field day. Already wiping the competition with movies including The First Omen and Immaculate, the genre has turned to child ballerina gone wrong in order to execute the 2024 trifecta. Out of the three, Abigail is easily the...

One of this year’s best theatrical releases hits Peacock as we head into the weekend, and it’s joined by four other brand new horror movies and the final season of a hit Netflix horror series.

Here’s all the new horror released on Friday, July 19, 2024!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

First up, Universal’s ballerina vampire horror movie Abigail has already been available at home for a little while now, but today the film began streaming exclusively on Peacock.

If you’ve missed it up to this point, get on that Asap. It’s one of the year’s best.

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.

Children can be such monsters, but none quite like Abigail. When you sink your fangs into the horror-comedy on home video, you can enjoy an audio commentary by directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and editor Michael P. Shawyer.

Here are seven things I learned from the Abigail commentary…

1. Abigail’s father is revealed early in the film.

Matthew Goode as Abigail’s vampiric crime lord father, Kristof Lazaar, is treated as a reveal in the final act, but Eagle-eyed viewers will notice a framed picture of him on a nightstand in Abigail’s bedroom.

The filmmakers point out that Abigail’s other nightstand features photos of Bettinelli-Olpin’s cats and Gillett’s dog.

2. 10 minutes were cut after a preview screening.

Feedback after Abigail‘s first preview screening resulted in 10 minutes being cut to tighten the pacing, which the filmmakers concede was a good note. Among the changes, two...

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.

‘Abigail’, aka “Dracula’s Daughter”, the new horror comedy feature directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, stars Alisha Weir, Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, William Catlett, Kevin Durand and Angus Cloud, streaming July 19, 2024 on Peacock:

‘..a seemingly innocent girl is kidnapped for a ransom.

“But as ‘Abigail’ bonds with one of her captors it soon becomes abundantly clear…

“…there's a lot more to her than meets the eye…
