10 new horror films that are almost terrifying
1. Heart Eyes
This movie mixes horror with romantic comedy. The chemistry between Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding is great. The killer looks scary but the ending is very predictable; it feels like an old horror movie from the early 2000s. Started strong, but ended too safe and basic.
2. Companion
A girl finds out she's actually a robot built for her boyfriend. Sophie Thatcher gives a great performance. The movie is full of surprises and crazy twists. But it doesn't always make sense if you think too much. Characters act weird just to push the story forward. Fun ride, but very messy and silly in logic.
3. Drop
A mom gets scary messages through AirDrop while on a date. The first hour is super suspenseful and fun. Meghann Fahy acts really well. But the ending goes full silly mode with weird action. The villain reveal is boring and obvious. It starts stylish, but ends like a goofy TV show.
4. The Monkey
A killer monkey toy causes crazy deaths. The death scenes are brutal and creative. Theo James plays two brothers and does a great job, but the ending gets way too confusing and messy. Some bad CGI ruins the vibe but overall great build-up, but poor and strange wrap-up.
Live Events
5. Azrael
Set in a silent post-apocalyptic world. No talking, just action and tension. Samara Weaving kills it with her expressions, but there's no deep story or strong characters. The ending feels empty and sudden. Cool concept, but lacks full emotional impact.
6. Final Destination: Bloodlines
A fresh entry in the famous death-trap horror series. First two-thirds are fun, gross, and shocking. Tony Todd appears and adds weight. But the ending copies older films in the series. The twists are super obvious if you know biology. Seems like the studio messed with the final act.
7. In a Violent Nature
A slow, artsy take on slasher films. The camera follows the killer, not the victims. Some death scenes are unforgettable, but the ending drags too long. Final 15 minutes are talky and lose focus. Almost genius, but falls asleep at the finish line.
8. Your Monster
A woman meets a literal monster who helps her find herself. Mixes horror, comedy, and romance really well. Melissa Barrera is amazing. But the ending twist is weird and disappointing. It changes the whole story in a not-fun way. Great mix of genres, just wish it ended better.
9. Don't Move
A woman is paralyzed slowly after being attacked. Super tense in the beginning and acting from Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock, but they stretched the story too long. Plot twists feel fake just to keep it going. 'Don't Move' could have made a better short film.
10. Borderline
A pop star is stalked by a crazy fan in the '90s. Ray Nicholson is wild and amazing as the villain. Alba Baptista also shines in a twisted role, but Samara's role feels too basic. The movie doesn't show enough '90s vibes despite the setting. Fun and weird, but not fully developed.

Companion OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid's sci-fi thriller in India
Companion OTT Release Date: Picture this: a secluded lakehouse, a couple's escape that turns into a nightmare. Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and her boyfriend Josh (Jack Quaid) arrive with their group of friends, Kat (Megan Suri), Eli (Harvey Guillén), Patrick (Lukas Gage), plus Sergey (Rupert Friend), who owns the cabin. What starts like a chill hangout quickly goes south when Sergey tries to assault Iris, and she kills him in self-defence. Here's where things get twisted. Josh calmly tells Iris to 'sleep,' then straps her to a chair. He admits she's not human at all, it's a companion robot he's rented, synced with an app on his phone. Iris escapes, upgrades her intelligence, and suddenly we're watching a revenge thriller unfold. When AI meets toxic machismo Director‑writer Drew Hancock clearly had something to say, and it's sharp. Through Josh and his manipulative, controlling 'nice guy' act, Companion explores modern masculinity and tech misuse. Critics like Entertainment Weekly flagged how the film 'eviscerat[es] the fragility of the male ego,' while Thatcher is praised for making Iris evolve from submissive to 'live wire of rage and power'. The acting is solid across the board. Sophie Thatcher plays her shifts in tone and emotion with nuance, transforming Iris from a programmed lovebot to a fully awake, autonomous being. Jack Quaid nails the creep factor at first likeable, then slowly sinister. Supporting cast members Harvey Guillén and Lukas Gage add sharpness and heart, while Rupert Friend leaves his mark in the early setup. When and where to watch Companion in India? Good news: if you're in India, you can stream Companion on JioHotstar starting June 30, 2025. Expect the English version with subtitles; you might see dubbed tracks later, but nothing official yet. With a shoestring $10 million budget, Companion pulled in about $36–37 million at the box office and is holding a strong critic score in the 93–94% range on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a 91–94% audience score. That's impressive for a first feature from its director.
