The horror genre is absolutely bursting at the seams with brand new releases this week, with several at-home premieres that we didn’t expect until they suddenly fell into our laps.

So let’s just dive right in, shall we?

Here’s all the new horror releasing September 12 – September 17, 2023!

A24’s low budget horror hit Talk to Me scared up $67 million at the box office, making the film one of A24’s top horror hits to date. And the film just hit at-home Digital yesterday.

You can purchase the film on Digital outlets now for $19.99.

Up next, Talk to Me hits 4K + Blu-ray + Digital on October 3, 2023.

The brutal terror of Talk to Me unfolds when “a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand; they become hooked on the new thrill until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.” Sophia Wilde, Miranda Otto, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Djanji, and Zoe Terakes star in the A24 horror hit.

In her Sundance review for BD, Meagan Navarro wrote, “Talk to Me delivers an intense, nightmarish horror movie that’ll leave you breathless.” Her review continued, “There’s a refreshing ruthlessness to this cautionary tale that plays like a surge of adrenaline; it makes for one hell of an introduction to Danny and Michael Philippou’s brand of horror.” 

Sony Pictures International Productions and Amazon Prime Video joins forces with Álex de la Iglesia (The Day of the Beast, The Last Circus, Witching and Bitching) on the feature film series “The Fear Collection.” The collection includes Álex de la Iglesia‘s Veneciafrenia, Jaume Balagueró’s ([REC], [REC 2], Sleep Tight) Venus, and Paco Plaza’s ([REC], Veronica) La Abuela, and the entire 3-film collection just surprise-released on VOD yesterday.

You can Digitally buy or rent the three-film “Fear Collection” on VOD outlets including Vudu, where you’ll find the films either bundled together in one set or available individually.

“The Fear Collection” includes…

Veneciafrenia – Directed by: Álex de la Iglesia

In Veneciafrenia, “In nature there is an indissoluble link between beauty and death. The human being, indebted to his environment, imitates what he observes. Like mosquitoes drawn to the brightest lighthouse, tourists are turning off the light in the most beautiful city on the planet. The agony of the past decades has sparked anger among Venetians. To stop the invasion, some have organized, unleashing their survival instincts. Our protagonists, a simple group of Spanish tourists, travel to Venice with the intention of having fun, oblivious to the problems that surround them. There they will be forced to fight to save their own lives.”

Venus – Directed by: Jaume Balaguero

Venus is inspired by HP Lovecraft’s “Dreams in the Witch House” and stars Ester Expósito, Ángela Cremonte, Magüi Mira, Fernando Valdivieso and Federico Aguado.

In the film, “Go-go dancer Lucía, on the run with a stash of pills and hunted by mobsters, takes sanctuary in an apartment block with sister Rocío and niece Alba only to find out that malevolent supernatural forces are at play in the building.”

Meagan wrote in her TIFF review for BD, “Venus makes for a slick and breezy action-horror movie far more memorable for its gruesome high-octane thrills than its cosmic chills.”

La Abuela – Directed by Paco Plaza

“Susana (Almudena Amor) must leave her life working as a model in Paris and return home to Madrid after she learns that her grandmother Pilar (Vera Valdez) – who raised her as her own after her parents died – has had a cerebral hemorrhage. Upon returning home, Susana attempts to find a long-term caretaker for Pilar, but what should be just a few days ends up becoming a genuine nightmare after Susana notices Pilar start to act strangely.”

Five Latino filmmakers have come together for the upcoming horror anthology Satanic Hispanics, which Dread and Iconic Events release in select theaters on Thursday.

The filmmakers, you ask? The list includes Mike Mendez (Big Ass Spider), Alejandro Brugués (Juan of the Dead), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Culture Shock), Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project), and Demian Rugna (Terrified), which makes for a killer horror anthology lineup.

“In the film, police raid a house in El Paso, full of dead Latinos, and with only one survivor: The Traveler. When the cops him to the station for questioning, he tells them about the horrors he’s encountered in his long time on this earth.”

Efren Ramirez, Greg Grunberg, Jonah Ray Rodrigues, Jacob Vargas, Hemky Madera, and Patricia Velasquez star in Satanic Hispanics.

Iconic character Hercule Poirot hits the high seas for a terrifying horror adventure in A Haunting in Venice, a supernatural horror movie from Oscar® winning filmmaker Kenneth Branagh (“Belfast”) that adapts Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party.

A Haunting in Venice will open in theaters nationwide on Friday, September 15.

This is the first horror movie from Branagh since Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein back in 1994, grafting a spooky skin onto his critically acclaimed tales of Hercule Poirot. You know horror is hot when Oscar winning filmmakers are making horror movies, and it’s always exciting to see non-horror franchises dipping their toes into the genre like this.

Featuring a screenplay by Oscar nominee Michael Green (“Logan”), A Haunting in Venice was filmed at Pinewood Studios outside London and on location in Venice.

A brilliant acting ensemble portraying a cast of unforgettable characters will be featured, including Kenneth Branagh, Kyle Allen (“Rosaline”), Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”), Jamie Dornan (“Belfast”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Jude Hill (“Belfast”), Ali Khan (“6 Underground”), Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”), Kelly Reilly (“Yellowstone”), Riccardo Scamarico (“Caravaggio’s Shadow”), and Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”).

Set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, A Haunting in Venice is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

As you may recall, a mysterious Netflix movie titled The Count had been rated “R” for “strong violence and gore” and “graphic nudity,” and we now know the project is from director Pablo Larraín (Spencer), officially titled El Conde. It comes to Netflix this Friday.

“El Conde is a dark comedy/horror that imagines a parallel universe inspired by the recent history of Chile. The film portrays Augusto Pinochet, a symbol of world fascism, as a vampire who lives hidden in a ruined mansion in the cold southern tip of the continent.

“Feeding his appetite for evil to sustain his existence. After two hundred and fifty years of life, Pinochet has decided to stop drinking blood and abandon the privilege of eternal life. He can no longer bear that the world remembers him as a thief. Despite the disappointing and opportunistic nature of his family, he finds new inspiration to continue living a life of vital and counterrevolutionary passion through an unexpected relationship.”

Jaime Vadell, Gloria Münchmeyer, Alfredo Castro, Paula Luchsinger, Catalina Guerra, Marcial Tagle, Amparo Noguera, Diego Muñoz, and Antonia Zegers star.

Pablo Larraín and Guillermo Calderón wrote the screenplay.

Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, Rebekah McKendry (Glorious) is playing the Elevator Game with her next movie, and it comes to Shudder on Friday.

Elevator Game follows socially awkward teenager Ryan, who ingratiates himself into a group of recent high school graduates that run an online web series debunking urban legends.

But Ryan has a secret: His sister disappeared months earlier, and he believes they – and a dangerous online challenge called ‘The Elevator Game’ – were responsible.

To play the game, you must ride the elevator in a specific sequence, invoking a supernatural creature called ‘The 5th Floor Woman’. In an attempt to gain more information as to the whereabouts of his sister, Ryan persuades the group to play the game once more, and risk unleashing the most fearsome consequences imaginable.

Gino Anania, Verity Marks, Alec Carlos, Nazariy Demkowicz, Madison MacIsaac, Liam Stewart-Kanigan, and Megan Best star in McKendry’s The Elevator Game.

Travis Seppala (Captive) wrote the upcoming horror movie.

Amandla Stenberg (Bodies Bodies Bodies) leads the theatrically released horror movie My Animal, which Paramount brings home to Digital this Friday, September 15.

My Animal, the feature debut of director Jacqueline Castel, has been rated “R” for: “Language throughout, sexual content, nudity, some drug use and violence.”

Amandla Stenberg stars in the new horror movie alongside Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Stephen Mchattie, Heidi Von Palleske, Cory Lipman, and Joe Apollonio.

“Heather, an outcast teenage goalie, longs to play on the hockey team of her small town. She meets and falls in love with newcomer Jonny, an alluring but tormented figure skater. The relationship blossoms despite Heather’s struggles with her alcoholic mother, her hidden sexual orientation, and a familial curse that transforms her into a feral wolf under the full moon. Heather and Jonny’s secret tryst soon clashes against the conformity of their small community, exposing dangerous truths and igniting a passionate, violent night of personal transformation.”

Jae Matthews wrote the screenplay.
