The classic story of Alice in Wonderland can easily be tweaked into a horror tale, and that’s probably why it’s been done several times over the years. Up next is the indie horror movie Alice in Terrorland, which High Fliers Films just released on VOD and DVD today.
In Richard John Taylor’s Alice in Terrorland, “A recently bereaved teenage girl goes to live with her aunt in a secluded woodland house, unaware that sinister forces lurk within.”
Rula Lenska, Steve Wraith, Jon-Paul Gates, and Rikki Kimpton star.
After an experimental drug trial goes awry, the test subjects face a terrifying side effect: if you fall asleep, you die. Epic Pictures released their new movie Double Blind on VOD today.
“Trapped in an isolated facility, panic ensues as the test subjects try to stay awake.”
Double Blind comes from director Ian Hunt-Duffy and writer Darach McGarrigle.
Pollyanna McIntosh, Millie Brady and Akshay Kumar star.
Gravitas Ventures’ latest, Cellphone highlights the perils and horror of technology surrounding the piece of tech we rely on most: our phones. It’s on VOD and Digital now.
In Cellphone, “Wynne, who is grieving the death of her fiancé, starts seeing disturbing images on her cell phone about her future. If she doesn’t figure them out in time, she will die.”
Whitney Rose Pynn, Justin Malik Jackson, Jared Noble, Isaac Versaw, and Katherine Barber star alongside Malcolm McDowell in the tech thriller.
The tech thriller was written by Rachel Sommer and directed by Luke Sommer, based on their 2012 short film “Cell Phone.” Cellphone marks the feature debut for both.
From Gravitas Ventures, director Kyle Kleege’s Earworm also hit VOD today.
In the film, “Henry Adams, a socially awkward man seeking help for his condition accepts an invitation to a self-help group that is more than it seems. Danger is around every corner as Henry goes deeper into the treatment. Meanwhile, Detective Williams investigates a series of strange murders that has too many similarities to not be connected.
“Following the clues he stumbles across more than he bargained for.”
Richard Lounello, Evan Jones, and John Romeo star.
“You can either make the meal… or be the meal.” Breaking Glass Pictures also has a new horror movie this week, with Alice and The Vampire Queen now available on VOD outlets.
Directed by Dan Lantz, and starring Shelby Hightower, Graham Wolfe, Brenna Carnuccio, Rachel Aspen, Danielle Muehlen, Xavier Michael, Chris James Boylan, and Aaron Dalla Villa, the film fixes on an ex-con who struggles to overcome her past scars.
A stranger offers her a deal: create one special dish for the Vampire Queen.
The film, produced by Dan Lantz, Richard Wolff, and Susan Helfrich, is said to “explore themes of resilience, transformation, and the power of choice as Alice confronts not only the external threats posed by the supernatural forces at play but also the internal demons she must conquer to forge her path to redemption.”
The horrors of the dark web are explored in Dark Star Pictures’ new movie Midnight Peepshow, and you can meet the Black Rabbit on VOD outlets beginning today, February 13.
In Midnight Peepshow we are introduced to an unnamed Madame who owns and operates a peepshow offering patrons a tailor-made experience wrapped around their deepest desires, fears, and sins. Tonight, it welcomes a businessman who has a unique connection to an extreme fantasy website on the dark web. He soon becomes a witness to three stories of victims that found the same website, and now the Midnight Peepshow has found him.
It will only be a matter of time before he is made to pay the ultimate price for dabbling in the dark side of his own desire.
Airell Anthony Hayles, Andy Edwards, Jake West, and Ludovica Musumeci directed.
The cast includes Zach Galligan, Chiara D’Anna, Richard Cotton, Sarah Diamond, Jamie Bacon, Derek Nelson, Jack Fairbank. Miki Davis, Ryan Oliva, and Ocean M. Harris.
Summer isn’t even in full swing yet but the horror onslaught continues. If you thought May was a massive month for brand new horror movies, June 2026 also comes loaded with a dense slate of new horror releases.
Save for one reboot, this month brings a ton of original new genre offerings like Leviticus, I Am Frankelda, and Kraken. Also look for new films from visionaries Steven Spielberg and Nicolas Winding Refn to arrive in theaters in June.
Here are eleven new horror movies releasing in June 2026.

Legendary director Steven Spielberg is a believer, and he wants to make you one too when his latest invades theaters and IMAX next week.

As isolation sets in and encounters with aggressive locals grow more threatening, festering resentments within the group begin to surface. What begins as fun and reckless escape spirals into a violent struggle for control and survival, as past wounds and present dangers collide in a night that turns their trip into a revenge-fueled nightmare.”

I Am Frankelda – On Netflix June 12
I Am Frankelda. Cr. Netflix © 2026.
Mexico’s first stop-motion animated feature film delivers meticulous, handmade artistry from Arturo Ambriz and Roy Ambriz, protégés of Academy Award-winner Guillermo del Toro, and celebrates a unique world of monsters. It also arrives exclusively on Netflix on June 12 (our review).
Here’s the synopsis: “In 19th-century Mexico, Frankelda is a gifted writer whose dark tales are ignored and dismissed. Forced to suppress her voice, she refuses to give up, even as many try to silence her. But when she is thrust into her subconscious, the very monsters she created come to life.
“Guided by Herneval, a tormented prince trapped between dreams and nightmares, she must restore balance between fiction and reality before both realms collapse. Meanwhile, the sinister writer Procustes and his conspirators plot to seize control. As Frankelda and Herneval grow closer, their bond becomes both a strength and a curse.
“To rewrite their fate, she must confront a love that defies existence and reclaim her power as a storyteller—before dark forces consume her imagination and reveal horrors beyond her creation.”
Mireya Mendoza, Arturo Mercado Jr., and Luis Leonardo Suarez lead the voice cast.

In the horror film, “Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.”
