I just finished scouring the 2021 Fantastic Fest lineup (an annual movie festival devoted to screening the best, strangest, most original and eccentric international new releases) and I am so stoked about some of the upcoming horror releases. Between these and some of the other larger releases like the new Candyman reboot by Jordan Peele, it's SUCH a good time to be a horror fan again after the dismal, barren wasteland of 2020 and its lack of new releases (exception/shout out to the version of the Invisible Man that came out last year though, that was some very good shit).
Here are the trailers for the movies I'm most excited about. Are there any movies coming out soon that you're excited for?
Mad God
Do you enjoy:
- originality?
- practical effects & stop-motion animation?
- nightmare fuel that looks like an actual feverish nightmarish hellscape?
when then does Mad God have a treat in store for you
Lamb
I perk up the moment I see something is getting released by A24, but even for them this looks bizarre. Super excited for it.
Candyman
Jordan Peele's releases are so good and the original Candyman is a personal favorite so I am very excited for this. I was hooked (hyuck hyuck) on this one the moment Tony Todd's voice makes an appearance in the trailer.
The Sadness
absolutely deranged looking twist on the zombie genre. Nesting the trailer in spoilers because there is gore in it. A lot of it. Including in the preview image.
The Night House
I didn't think much of this one when the trailer first started but by the end of it, it definitely had my attention.
Last Night in Soho
Another one that crept up on me when I first saw the trailer. Cool visuals and looks like it's going to be creepy as hell too.
