Cult classic horror franchise THE GINGER SNAPS TRILOGY - Standard Edition Blu-ray

GINGER SNAPS is a landmark in cult horror and now the seminal movie is set for a highly anticipated Blu-ray release from Second Sight Films. Helmed by John Fawcett (Orphan Black, Saving Hope), the cult classic offers a fresh take on the werewolf and coming-of-age genre, with heaps of gore and a lot of heart.

All three films are now set for release as THE GINGER SNAPS TRILOGY - Standard Edition Blu-ray, on 25 May 2026 from Second Sight Films.

The first feature is set in the suburban Canadian town of Bailey Downs, where a series of dog killings piques the interest of a pair of outcast teens; sisters Brigitte (Emily Perkins – Supernatural) and Ginger (Katharine Isabelle – Freddy v Jason) Fitzgerald. Then on the night of Ginger's first period, she is savagely attacked by a wild creature but even though her injuries miraculously heal, she’s left with a newfound desire to devour…

Brigitte must find a way to save her sister from her werewolf ways and with only 28 days to do so, can she stop the creature her sister has become in its tracks, or will they both succumb to the animalistic instincts?

GINGER SNAPS 2: UNLEASHED, sees Brigitte wrestling with her own transformation, as she is forcefully put into rehab and must identify friend from foe, all the while battling a male werewolf who’s stalking her. Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Orphan Black) and Eric Johnson (Smallville, Fifty Shades Darker) also star.

GINGER SNAPS BACK: THE BEGINNING, from director Grant Harvey, depicts the ancestors of Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald in 19th century Canada. They must battle villagers and werewolves alike as accusations and attacks come at them from all sides. Can they make it out alive or will they yield to a lycanthropic life?

The Horror Collective Acquires Canadian Horror FRESH MEAT for Cannes Launch

The Horror Collective has picked up worldwide rights to FRESH MEAT, the Canadian horror film from writer/director Daniel Turres, with Studio Dome set to launch international sales at the Cannes Film Market.

The 2025 feature follows internet influencers who venture into an abandoned prison to create content, inadvertently unleashing a ravenous inmate. The group finds themselves trapped and fighting for survival while capturing their terrifying ordeal.

Turres directed from his own script and produced alongside Christian Turres and Executive Producers Sheila Warren and David Carruthers through Fresh Meat Films inc. The cast includes Joelle Farrow, Mika Amonsen, Tyson Wong, Hannah Galway, Jorja Cadence, Alex Sands and Douglas Vermeeren.

The film targets the social media horror subgenre that has gained traction with genre audiences. The Horror Collective continues to expand its slate of independent horror titles for theatrical and streaming release.

Recently showcased at the Blood in the Snow Film Festival, FRESH MEAT took home Best Special Effects by The Butchershop FX Studio.

“This is easily our most wide-ranging program yet,” said Kelly Michael Stewart, Festival Director and Founder. “Fresh Meat is by far the most violent film we’ve ever played.”

“Fresh Meat taps into our current obsession with content creation and asks what happens when the pursuit of viral fame becomes a matter of life and death. The abandoned prison setting creates this claustrophobic nightmare where escape feels impossible.” says Daniel Turres.

“Fresh Meat fits perfectly with The Horror Collective's mission to bring fresh voices in horror to audiences worldwide. Daniel has crafted a film that speaks to our social media age while delivering the scares genre fans expect.” says David Josh Lawrence, Acquisitions, Studio Dome.

The Horror Collective, the genre label of Studio Dome, is a home for bold, commercial, filmmaker-driven horror. Known for championing fresh, high-concept genre films, The Horror Collective has produced and released standout titles including the killer-pants cult favorite SLAXX, a Shudder Original, and

Terrifyingly twisted possession horror 13 SOULS - On UK Digital, 25th May

Try your luck on 13 SOULS if you dare for a truly terrifying new possession horror, from award-winning writer-director Paulo Nascimento (A Oeste do Fim do Mundo). Get ready to feel the fear as this disturbing paranormal chiller is set to make its digital debut on 25 May 2026, courtesy of Seven Tales.

In the 1970s, 13 people died in a devastating apartment block fire. Burnt beyond all recognition, the unidentified victims were buried side by side in a New Jersey cemetery.

Years later, 15-year-old Agne (Sienna Belle – Game Crashers, The Taxidermist) is found roaming around her apartment while her mother’s lifeless body decomposes next to her. Her estranged father, Ariel (Tim Shelburne – Mind Over Murder, Here Love Lies), and older sister, Nina (Brielle Tucker) – who haven’t seen Agne since she was kidnapped by her mother 10 years before – come to take the traumatised teen home with them. As she adjusts to family life, mysterious, supernatural occurrences start to plague the household.

When Ariel returns to his job as a cemetery caretaker, Agne develops a fascination with the graveyard, and finds herself inexplicably drawn to the 13 unmarked tombs of those who perished in the fateful fire. Possessed by a dark spirit, Agne begins a reign of terror over her family, setting her sights on destroying Nina’s innocent soul.

Desperate to save both his daughters, Ariel seeks the advice of an unorthodox priest who harbours his own connection to the inferno. But with his spiritual guidance, will it be enough to save the girls, or does Agne’s soul already belong to the Devil?

Say your prayers for 13 SOULS, a hair-raisingly haunting horror that will have you possessed.

Dystopian sci-fi thrill-ride WOKEN - on UK Digital 25 May

Get ready for a fear-inducing new awakening as the critically acclaimed twisted dystopian nightmare WOKEN arrives on UK Digital on 25 May, thanks to 101 Films.  

Fresh from her brilliant turn in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, one-to-watch star Erin Kellyman takes the lead in a powerful performance as a pregnant woman who must unravel a sinister scheme to save humanity from the brink of annihilation. She is joined by one of Britain’s best loved actors, the acclaimed Maxine Peake, in this claustrophobic and tense genre-bending chiller from writer-director Alan Friel in his feature debut. 
 
After an accident, Anna (Kellyman) wakes up on a remote island with no memory of who she is, where she is or the baby she is carrying. Unfamiliar faces gather around her bedside, including husband James (Jeremiah) and neighbours Helen (Peake) and Peter (Invernizzi), who attempt to fill in the blanks of her fractured mind.  
 
But all is not what it seems and when the strong-willed mother-to-be embarks on her own quest for the truth, she makes a devastating discovery… a pandemic has ravaged most of mankind. Though the truth is out, Anna can’t escape the foreboding feeling that there’s even darker secrets simmering under the surface and, as her paranoia heightens, she senses that the real danger is much closer to home. 
 
Blurring the line between saviour and captor, what starts off as an unnerving tale of paranoia and isolation quickly descends into a pulse-pounding, post-apocalyptic story of survival as Anna’s fragmented mind attempts to piece together her past in time to save her future. 
 
Open your eyes to WOKEN for an edge-of-seat sci-fi thrill-ride, full of unexpected twists and turns that will have you second guessing who can truly be trusted.

What happened to the Realm of Horror website?

If you've reached this blog through the URL http://www.realmofhorror.co.uk then you are probably wondering what happened to the old review website that it used to point to.

 
Well, the short answer is, I've had to discontinue it. 

Unfortunately, I'd been struggling to find time to keep it updated for quite a while now. This, combined with the fact that it no longer generated anywhere near the same amount of traffic it used to, meant that keeping it updated was becoming increasingly pointless.

The final nail in the coffin, was that my hosting providers were becoming very unreliable. So I was going to have to move everything to a new host, if I wanted to keep it online.

Given the amount of time, effort and expense needed to do this and keep it maintained, I just felt this wouldn't be worthwhile endevour. 

This is not a decision I've taken lightly, given that my website has been around in one form or another since 1999. But the internet is a very different place now, and interest in these old school review sites just isn't there any more.

So, with this in mind, I've retired the old website and pointed the domian name towards the News Blog here, which I will continue to keep updated with UK centric horror news and info, along with my social media channels.

I'll also continue to post video reviews to my YouTube and Rumble channels, so be sure to check those out.

Found footage horror series THE CREEP TAPES SERIES 2 - On UK BD, June

Spawned from the brilliantly macabre minds of Patrick Brice (The Overnight) and Mark Duplass (Safety Not Guaranteed, The Morning Show) – the creators and stars of innovative found-footage horror films Creep and Creep 2 – comes the critically acclaimed THE CREEP TAPES SERIES 2. 

Peachfuzz is back and even ‘more evil and unpredictable than before’ (Bloody Disgusting), with six new truly terrifying tapes of torture and chaos, upping the ante as we draw back the curtain on our favourite lupine killer once more.

THE CREEP TAPES SERIES 2 is set to arrive on Blu-ray on 1 June 2026, courtesy of Acorn Media International. All episodes are available to download and keep on digital now.

In true Creep style, each instalment finds a new victim to add to the tape collection of the devious and deranged murderer Peachfuzz (Duplass). The psychopath and his alter ego play with their prey in the most bizarre ways, revealing one supremely odd killer who relishes the awkwardness and terror of his unsuspecting victims.

The new series kicks off with an ingenious guest appearance that sees David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) play copycat killer Joseph, who flips the script on the real Josef (Duplass) re-enacting moments from the original Creep tape, which he found on the dark web.

In episode two, we meet Wes (Diego Josef – The Ballad of Lefty Brown), who is shooting a TV pilot hosted by the utterly strange ‘realtor’ Trip Engold (Duplass). When Wes’ professionalism is called into question and tensions between the pair flare, police intervene, putting a spanner in the works of Peachfuzz’s killing spree.

Inspired by Saw and Dexter, the third episode introduces Mark (Robert Longstreet – Midnight Mass), who wakes up in an elaborate underground escape room chained to another man (Duplass) and is forced to solve a series of puzzles.

Episode four sees filmmaker Ava believe she’s found the new Tiger King after meeting eccentric vegan David (Duplass) at an animal sanctuary. Hoping to create a salacious documentary, she interrogates her subject trying to unpack his trauma, but the malevolent murderer has other plans.

It’s time for festive fear in episode five as Nick (Timm Sharp – Enlightened) is confronted by his new therapist's (Duplass) odd behaviour and experimental techniques – including Santa Claus roleplay and spiked soy nog – during an emergency session on Christmas Eve.

Katie Aselton (The Freebie) reprises her Creep role as Josef’s sister Angela in the series two finale as we are given more backstory on the unsettling upbringing of our unhinged killer and his equally disturbed sibling.

Press play on THE CREEP TAPES SERIES 2 for another boundary pushing addition to the Creep franchise, diving deeper into the fractured mind of the man beneath the wolf mask with more murder and mayhem than ever before.

SPECIAL FEATURES include:
- Commentary by Mark Duplass, Patrick Brice and Chris Donlon

British multiverse horror-thriller FOLLOW THE DARK - Launching Kickstarter for Final Stage Completion

British multiverse horror-thriller FOLLOW THE DARK from writer Nathan Shane Miller (Surviving Confession, A Clear View) and Director Matthew Tibbenham (Sinister, Directive 8020, Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom), is nearing completition and the producers are launching a Kickstarter to help 

Starring James Cosmo (Game of Thrones, Braveheart, Trainspotting), Arifin Putra (The Raid 2), and Hannah Al Rashid (The Night Comes for Us), the film follows Ari, a grief-stricken detective who uncovers an ancient subterranean chamber capable of opening pathways to parallel universes. 

Now over 90% complete, the film is entering its final production phase, with pick-up photography and post-production enhancements underway. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign has been structured as a strategic pre-launch initiative, offering early access and bonus materials to audiences while expanding awareness ahead of release.

Synopsis:
When a respected archaeologist is arrested for attempting to destroy his own excavation site, grieving Detective Ari Hasan uncovers an ancient subterranean chamber containing a mirror said to open pathways to parallel worlds — realities in which your greatest regret never occurred.

Still raw from the loss of his son, Doni, and the distance that grief has carved between him and his wife, Zara, Ari crosses the threshold. Inside, he awakens in a vast liminal labyrinth governed by a single rule: only darkness reveals the path forward. Hidden doorways to the next chamber materialise when the lights go out — but so does something else. A terrifying entity known as the Guardian hunts those who linger too long in the shadows.

Woven through Ari's descent is a quieter, parallel thread — moments following Zara and Doni in a life untouched by profound sadness. As both stories deepen, each reframes the other.

FOLLOW THE DARK is an elevated cerebral horror film about the seductive danger of hope and the terrifying cost of refusing to let go.

For more info on the film and details of how to get invloved with the crowdfunding, visit the film's Kickstarter Page. 

 

Award-winning new play THE HORRORS OF HELL HOUSE - At Bridge House Theatre, London

Internationally acclaimed theatre company Facsimile Productions are set to present Tim Connery’s award-winning new play THE HORRORS OF HELL HOUSE at South London's Bridge House Theatre from 5 to 23 May 2026. This theatrical event is a collaboration between the creative forces of Facsimile Productions, The Bridge House Theatre, and Stage D'Or Productions.

Set in May 1970, the play follows four actors and a director who retreat to the remote English manor house of Hellenic House to rehearse a new Hammer-style horror film. What begins as an eccentric and atmospheric creative retreat soon spirals into something far darker, as occult rituals, strange disturbances and unsettling forces begin to blur the line between performance and reality. The script is a darkly comic, unsettling and affectionate homage to 1970s British horror, with genuine occult trappings, period film and television in-jokes, and a sense of mounting dread that grows with every scene.

Artistic Director Andrew Hobbs said: “Tim Connery has written a brilliant piece of theatre that is both wickedly funny and genuinely unnerving. THE HORRORS OF HELL HOUSE captures both the absurdity and genuine fright of 1970s horror with real theatrical flair. The script truly deserves the awards and accolades it has garnered so far. It is exactly the kind of intelligent, atmospheric and entertaining new writing that we are proud to bring to the Bridge House Theatre.”

Julia Thurston, who plays Stella, said: “Stella arrives as the outsider in this strange world, and what makes her so compelling is the way the house and the people in it begin to change her. Her logic really grounds her through the scary supernatural situations in the play. In that way she serves as the audience’s window into this world as the character who tries to make sense of it all through reason and science. The play is full of dark humour, tension and real chills, but it also gives Stella a real emotional journey. It is thrilling to perform something that is both deliciously eerie and unexpectedly moving.”

Facsimile Productions, best known for its acclaimed British Touring Shakespeare brand, has delighted audiences for over 25 years with vibrant, accessible productions of both classic and contemporary work. In 2020, the company was the first to return to live open-air theatre during the recovery from the pandemic, and has since continued to champion bold, high-quality productions enjoyed by thousands of theatregoers over the years.

Tickets for THE HORRORS OF HELL HOUSE at The Bridge House Theatre from 5 to 23 May 2026 can be purchased at: https://thebridgehousetheatre.co.uk/shows/hell-house/

As Alana navigates a cast of guarded and unpredictable patrons, gaining trust proves as difficult as identifying the threat itself. With each attempt, new details emerge and assumptions shift, forcing her to rethink who she can rely on. As the pressure builds, Alana is pushed towards an unorthodox solution, one that may challenge everything ATIC expects of her.

VOIDANCE is directed by Marianna Dean (Breaking Infinity) and stars James Cosmo (Game of Thrones, Braveheart), Zoe Cunningham (Breaking Infinity), Neil Bishop (Beautiful Disaster, Beautiful Wedding), Mim Shaikh (Queenie, Informer), Billy Price (Hollyoaks) & Chris Charles (Hollyoaks, Mrs Sidhu Investigates).

Alex Kahuam's upcoming horror THE REMEDY - Premiering at SXSW London, June

Film Seekers, in association with Kahuam Films, Sparta Productions and Breakwall Pictures are delighted to confirm that Alex Kahuam's upcoming horror, THE REMEDY, will celebrate its World Premiere at SXSW London on 3rd June, with an encore screening on 6th June.

Jason is a devoted son caring for his ill mother, Maria. Exhausted, isolated, and sleep-deprived, he begins to suffer from vivid nightmares of a monstrous entity devouring his mother. As his grip on reality loosens, the horrors of his dreams begin to seep into his waking life. At the same time, his estranged sister Rachel, recently released from psychiatric care, becomes convinced that an unseen evil has taken root in their home. Turning to forbidden spiritual practices for protection, she finds herself at odds with Jason, who dismisses her warnings as delusion. 

When Jason resorts to an obscure, ancient remedy in a desperate attempt to heal Maria, the results are both miraculous and deeply unsettling. As her health begins to improve, disturbing occurrences escalate around them, hinting that something unnatural may have been unleashed. As paranoia, family tensions, and supernatural forces converge, Jason is drawn into a terrifying descent. 

With no one left to trust, he must face the growing evil within the house—and within himself—before it’s too late.

Directed by Alex Kahuam (Failure!, Forgiveness), THE REMEDY stars Timothy Granaderos (13 Reasons Why), London Thor (Gen V, The Boys), Doug Jones (The Shape of Water, Star Trek: Discovery), Jenny O’Hara (Devil) and Chris Mulkey (Whiplash, Twin Peaks).

Inside the tomb, Peter discovers The Scroll of Life and, when he reads it aloud, he unknowingly brings the mummified body of the high priest Kharis (Lee) back to life...

Three years later and the group have returned to England, unaware of the nefarious consequences of their actions. A follower of the same Egyptian religion unleashes The Mummy to exact grisly revenge on the despoilers of the sacred past. As the creature edges nearer to exact its revenge, can anything save them from its relentlessly vicious and vengeful mission?

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL sees Peter Cushing joined by acting legend Patrick Troughton who plays Bodysnatcher, ahead of his incarnation as the second Doctor Who, as well as a host of stellar British acting talent including the mighty Dave Prowse (Star Wars) as Frankenstein’s creation, who also happens to be the only man who played this role twice for Hammer, in two very different manifestations.

When a young doctor, Simon Helder (Shane Briant – Time Traveller) is committed to an insane asylum where the legendary Baron Frankenstein supposedly perished after being found experimenting on stolen corpses, he is quickly taken under the wing of mysterious Doctor Victor (Cushing).

But Simon quickly realises that there’s more than meets the eye with Doctor Victor, and that Frankenstein is alive and well and is continuing his macabre experiments...

This grisly, gothic Hammer production is a thought-provoking and stylish closure to the Frankenstein anthology, featuring another superb turn from Peter Cushing and boasting oodles of bloodshed, and spectacularly frightful moments.

Erin Brown stars in VIDEO VIXEN - Exclusively on BloodStream, May

BloodStream, the horror, thriller, and sci-fi streaming platform built by genre fans and creators, will exclusively premiere VIDEO VIXEN, the provocative new slasher from Erin Brown and Victor Bonacore, on May 1, 2026. Studio Dome has acquired exclusive rights to the film, with a wider streaming rollout to follow after August 1, 2026.

A bold collision of erotic underground cinema and contemporary influencer culture, VIDEO VIXEN marks a major return for Brown, the iconic horror performer known to audiences worldwide as Misty Mundae. With hundreds of credits spanning cult, erotic, and mainstream horror since the late 1990s, Brown now steps fully into her role as a filmmaker, producing and starring in one of her most confrontational works to date.

In VIDEO VIXEN, Brown plays Kitty Video, an online performer who, alongside her partner Cam, produces staged “snuff-style” fetish content for a loyal online audience. Their work thrives on illusion. But when their quiet town of Silver Springs is overrun by attention-hungry influencers chasing viral fame, Kitty decides illusion is no longer enough. As the holiday season descends, performance turns to obsession. The violence escalates. The camera never stops rolling.

What begins as manufactured depravity becomes something far more dangerous as Kitty blurs the boundary between fiction and reality, spectacle and truth. And as the body count rises, one question lingers: when everything is content, does anyone care if it’s real?

Co-producer and lead actress Erin Brown says she is "Intoxicated by the notion of our movies being injected into the BloodStream. I hope it's contagious". Director Victor Bonacore adds, "Ecstatic to have my streaming cherry popped with BloodStream, it's an honor to be chosen by one of the new platforms of indie horror and beyond. My films have never streamed before, and this has been the perfect place to land".

BloodStream Acquisitions and Programming Curator Heidi Honeycutt says, "I have been a fan of Erin Brown for as long as I can remember. She’s directed and produced her own films throughout the years, and she has a stunningly original, raw voice. I am so excited that she is a creative force behind her new films and is making the kind of horror she wants to see. I’m absolutely honored that BloodStream is releasing this film".

Launched in late 2025, BloodStream was created as a dedicated home for genre storytelling, bringing together cult classics, international discoveries, festival favorites, and bold independent voices in one curated destination. The platform now features a rapidly expanding library of more than 2,000 titles, available through both free ad-supported and ad-free subscription tiers across major devices and browsers.

Erik Skjoldbjærg's INSOMNIA starring Stellan Skarsgard - Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray release

Hailed as ‘one of the best Nordic Noirs’ (Collider), Erik Skjoldbjærg's (Narvik, Pioneer) sun-drenched directorial debut INSOMNIA, starring recent Academy Award nominee Stellan Skarsgard (Sentimental Value, Mamma Mia, Good Will Hunting), receives an eye-opening new 4K UHD/Blu-ray Limited Edition release set to arrive on 25 May 2026, courtesy of Second Sight Films.

As ‘Norwegian film is entering a new era’ (Guardian), Second Sight Films reawakens this brooding and atmospheric ‘90s chiller that not only kicked off a wave of renowned Nordic Noir films but also paved the way for Christopher Nolan’s 2002 remake.

The new Limited Edition Box Set will have fans up all night with a slew of special features including new interviews with the filmmakers, short films from director Erik Skjoldbjærg, a 120-page book with new essays and much more.

When 17-year-old Tanja Lorentzen is found murdered in the Northern Nordic city of Tromsø, two Kripos police officers are called in to investigate: Jonas Engstrom (Skarsgard) – a disgraced former Swedish police officer who moved to Norway following an inappropriate relationship with a witness – and his partner Erik Vik (Sverre Anker Ousdal – Blodsband, Familjen).

With a cold, cunning and calculated killer on the loose, the officers attempt an arrest, but it goes terribly wrong when the suspect escapes and Jonas mistakenly shoots Erik, later pinning his death on the fugitive.

Haunted by guilt and repressed by the relentless glare of the Arctic Circle’s midnight sun, a destabilised Jonas gets caught up in a game of cat-and-mouse with the killer and as his insomnia worsens, so does his grip on reality.

Examining the fine line between cop and criminal, Insomnia is a gripping descent into the darkness of a person’s psyche set against Norway’s luminescent icy backdrop. ‘As close to perfection as a thriller can get. Tightly wound and psychologically dense’ Collider

Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray & Standard Editions 4K UHD & Blu-ray Arrive 25 May 2026

Don’t sleep on the Insomnia Limited Edition release or you might miss this trailblazing slice of Nordic cinema brilliance.
