We’ll see Terrifier 2 star Lauren Lavera get her rematch with Art the Clown when Terrifier 3 reaches theatres this October, but sometime this year we’ll also have the chance to see Lavera take the lead in the pregnancy horror film The Fetus. A specific release date hasn’t yet been announced for this one, but a trailer for the film has made its way online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Written and directed by Joe Lam, with Nathan Faudree and Yuke Li credited as story consultants, The Fetus tells the story of a couple struggling to learn the truth about the origins of their unborn child– a demonic entity that emerges from the body. Here’s an alternative synopsis: When Alessa becomes pregnant, it brings up Chris’ deep-rooted trauma surrounding fatherhood. Upon discovering that their fetus craves human blood, they visit his father,...

As a special Valentine's Day treat for Daily Dead readers, we have an exclusive look at the teaser trailer for The Fetus! Written and directed by Joe Lam, the film stars Bill Moseley, Lauren Lavera, Julian Curtis, and Amy Arena, taking an unexpected twist on pregnancy horror films:

"When Alessa becomes pregnant, it brings up Chris' deep-rooted trauma surrounding fatherhood. Upon discovering that their fetus craves human blood, they visit their father, Maddox, for answers."

Producer Brent Trotter shares his thoughts on The Fetus' timely message and what makes it stand out: "This gripping humorous horror film delves into a thought-provoking pro-choice/pro-life debate, over a demonic fetus growing inside a woman's body. I believe it's a timely exploration given the upcoming election cycle that will inevitably thrust this topic into the national spotlight again. What sets The Fetus apart is its ability to resonate deeply with younger diverse audiences,...

Filmmaker Sophie Lane Curtis makes her directorial debut with “On Our Way,” marking another collaboration with Brady Corbet after starring in his “Childhood of a Leader” and “Vox Lux.”

Shuffling between past, present and fantasy, the film explores art’s ability to heal the wounds that inspire it.

“On Our Way” was filmed in New York and in the south of France, with Keith Powers, James Badge Dale, Jordana Brewster, Vanessa Redgrave, Franco Nero, Paul Ben-Victor, and Ruby Modine also starring. The film will be released from Gravitas Ventures.

The holiday season is now upon us, and it seems only right that we’re heading into December with a brand new Christmas-themed genre movie arriving in theaters later this week.

I’m of course talking about the David Harbour-starring Violent Night, which features the “Stranger Things” actor as an ass-kicking version of none other than Santa himself.

But that’s not the only new genre movie arriving this week…

Here’s all the new horror headed down the chimney November 28 – December 4, 2022!

This week is all quiet on the horror front until Thursday, December 1, which kicks off with the release of The Harbinger, which has been favorably compared to Nightmare on Elm Street.

In the film from writer/director Andy Mitton, “Monique ventures out of quarantine to visit an old friend who’s plagued by nightmares. She finds herself drawn into a hellish dreamscape where she must face her...

If you haven't already noticed, Shudder has been on a roll with its original acquisitions this year. From "Mad God" to "Resurrection" and everything else in between, it has proven itself as the premier horror speciality streamer. Now, it looks to add to its increasingly demented collection with Travis Stevens' surrealist rollercoaster "A Wounded Fawn."

You think you might know where this movie is going based on the first half of its new trailer. An obviously creepy man (Josh Ruben) lures an art collector named Meredith (Sarah Lind) to his secluded cabin in the woods. When she realizes that he may have sinister motivations, their dangerous cat-and-mouse game commences. However, there's something much more sinister going on behind this conventional plot, if the bizarre imagery involving demons and snakes throughout the trailer proves anything.

"A Wounded Fawn" had its world premiere earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival before...

I may not have been a fan of Terrifier 2 (my review is Here), but I was impressed by the work Lauren Lavera did in the lead role, and by the time the end credits started to roll I was convinced that she is a star on the rise. So I’m glad to see that she has already completed work on another genre movie – one that co-stars the great Bill Moseley! The movie is called The Fetus, and our friends at Bloody Disgusting have gotten their hands on a batch of first look images that can also be seen at the bottom of this article.

There isn’t a lot of available information on The Fetus at this time, but we do know that it was written and directed by Joe Lam, with Nathan Faudree and Yuke Li credited as story consultants. The story they were consulted about centers...
