We’ve been telling you that May 2026 is going to be a massive month for new horror, but don’t count this month out just yet. Six new horror movies have arrived in the final days of April.
Here’s all the new horror that released on Tuesday, April 28, 2026!
A New York City high-rise serves as a temple to Satan in They Will Kill You starring Zazie Beetz, which is now available on Digital at home in the wake of a theatrical release.
More of a physical media fan? On June 30, 2026, They Will Kill You will be available to own on 4K UHD™, Blu-ray™, and DVD from online and physical retailers.
Zazie Beetz stars as a young woman who must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering.
Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette also star.
Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die!) directs from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators). IT filmmaker Andy Muschietti produces alongside Barbara Muschietti.
Produced by Diablo Cody, director Meredith Alloway’s Forbidden Fruits was first released in theaters late last month and the film is now available on Digital at home.
Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), Victoria Pedretti (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), Gabrielle Union (Breaking In), and Emma Chamberlain star in Forbidden Fruits, released by IFC and Shudder.
Free Eden employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges the group’s ‘girl boss’ ways, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.
“Forbidden Fruits grabbed me by the neck the very first time I read it,” Diablo Cody said. “It’s one of the craziest, most creative, beautifully bonkers projects I’ve ever worked on.”
Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Forbidden Fruits may not necessarily forge new terrain in the teen satire space, but Alloway brings so much style and energy to her well-cast single-location stage play adaptation for the Gen Z crowd.”
Produced by Bloody Disgusting, last year’s Silent Night, Deadly Night remake starring Rohan Campbell is now streaming exclusively on Bloody Disgusting’s Screambox.
The film is accompanied by a “Slaying Season” featurette and blooper reel on Screambox.
Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends) is Billy and Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day) is Pamela in the reimagining of the holiday horror classic that came down the chimney in 1984.
Here’s the plot synopsis for the fresh new take: “After witnessing his parents’ murder on Christmas Eve, Billy grows up to deliver an annual spree of holiday violence. This year, his mission collides with love, as a young woman challenges him to confront his darkness.”
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 77% score, which is the highest Rotten Tomatoes score in the history of the slasher franchise!
The “Critics Consensus” on Rotten Tomatoes? “Silent Night, Deadly Night embraces the franchise’s inherent absurdity while surpassing the original with sharper filmmaking, richer characterization, and politically astute, pitch-black satire.”
The Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise kicked off with the original classic back in 1984, which entered the halls of horror infamy when parents protested the film’s depiction of a killer dressed in a Santa Claus suit. That film was followed by increasingly bizarre sequels in 1987, 1989, 1990, and 1991, as well as a remake in 2012 that was simply titled Silent Night.
Watch a retro-style trailer for the new remake below and stream it on Screambox now.

The thriller is now available on Digital from Lionsgate.
Vincent M. Ward (“The Walking Dead”), Ptosha Storey (“Empire”), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), and Nick Gomez (“Fargo”) star in The Step Daddy.
When a seemingly charming stepfather suddenly stabs his wife and stepson, it lights the fuse to a horrifying string of monstrous murders.
On the surface, Tim is a thoughtful and mild-mannered family man, but deep within him lies an insatiable killer, forever on the hunt for his next victim.
As his body count rises and his new family begins to suspect the evil he possesses, the race is on to stop this brutal sociopath before he takes another victim.
The cast also includes Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort), and Rusty Coones (“Sons of Anarchy”). Thomas J. Churchill (Amityville Uprising, The Day of the Living Dead) writes and directs. Hollywood Media Bridge produces.
A coke-fueled real estate agent gets in over her head in Odyssey, pulling her into the dark underworld of London. The film debuted on Digital today courtesy of Cineverse.
In Odyssey, “Natasha Flynn’s ambition fuels her success in London real estate, but her lavish lifestyle relies on high‑risk lenders. When escalating debt pushes her into a coercive criminal arrangement, she turns to a volatile former associate for help.
“Navigating pressure from both her profession and her creditors, she descends into a shadow economy where survival demands compromise.“

It’s “Night of the Living Dead for the digital age” in Didn’t Die. Directed by Meera Menon (“The Walking Dead,” “For All Mankind”), the horror-comedy is now available on Digital.
In the not-so-distant future, a young podcaster, Vinita, struggles to maintain her dwindling audience amidst the zombie apocalypse. To make matters worse, the undead are beginning to mutate and become more powerful. When her ex-boyfriend shows up with an orphaned baby, it becomes all that much more important that Vinita and her family do what it takes to survive.
