We end one month and begin another month this week, with the transition from January to February bringing along with it SEVEN more brand new horror movies in the coming days.

One of those films is the next big theatrical genre release of the year, but all of the others will be available for you to watch at your leisure in the comfort of your own home.

Here’s all the new horror arriving January 31 – February 3, 2023!

Brad Anderson (Session 9, The Machinist) is back with psychological horror movie Blood, and in the wake of the film’s theatrical release last week it’s now available on VOD today.

Michelle Monaghan (“True Detective”) stars alongside Skeet Ulrich (Scream), Finlay Wojtak-Hissong, Rodrigo Beilfuss, Erik Athavale, June B. Wilde, and Skylar Morgan Jones.

“The film follows Jess (Michelle Monaghan), a nurse and mother recently separated from her husband (Skeet Ulrich), who moves with her daughter Tyler (Skylar Morgan Jones) and young son Owen (Finlay Wojtak-Hissong) back into her old farmhouse. Shortly after settling in, Owen’s dog escapes into the woods and returns days later, blood-soaked and rabid. When he attacks and bites Owen, the resulting infection from the bite grows more alarming by the day as Owen’s behavior becomes frightening and deadly.

“As he spirals deeper into the depths of the illness, Jess discovers a disturbing cure, which makes her question how far she is willing to go to keep her child alive.”


Cinedigm, Bloody Disgusting, and SCREAMBOX recently acquired Young Min Kim‘s dramatic horror Dawning, and the film is now streaming exclusively on the SCREAMBOX platform.

Seeds is Shea’s second feature, and it won the Rondo Award for 2020’s Best Independent Film.

In the film, “A grieving mother holds onto her Catholic faith as her husband leaves to study and learn the secrets of an old New England cult. Secrets that the Catholic Church wants for their own use. Meanwhile the cult has deadly plans of their own.”

In Skinamarink, “Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party situation. They play well worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them.

“However, after a while it becomes clear that something is watching over them.”

Lucas Paul, Dali Rose Tetreault, Ross Paul and Jaime Hill star.
