There’s a beautiful, isolated house in Joshua Tree for young adults looking to get away. The only problem? The Carpenter is stalking the grounds. And he’s taking no prisoners.
Killer Rental from directors Ben Hausdorff and Jonathan Kadin is now available on traditional VOD outlets as well as streaming exclusively on Bloody Disgusting’s Screambox.
In Killer Rental, “Two couples arrive one night and find a mysterious video tape of the last group of friends who vacationed here… a diverse bunch looking to party under the desert sun and stars. But secrets soon emerge and relationships fracture, all under the watch of hidden cameras recording their every move. When one of them mysteriously disappears, the rest are left stranded, ultimately discovering that a deranged killer stalks. Meet The Carpenter… horror’s newest icon, with a unique set of tools and a twisted plan of his own.”
Killer Rental aims to provide “authenticity, fun, creepiness and a ton of scares.”
Fresh off the film’s limited theatrical release, Eli Roth’s new company The Horror Section has brought the found footage film Dream Eater to at-home digital outlets this week.
Co-written and co-directed by Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams, Dream Eater stars Williams and Drumm. The Horror Section teases, “Blending raw, documentary-style realism with escalating tension and scares, Dream Eater delivers an unshakable nightmare that lingers long after the final frame.”
The story follows Mallory (Mallory Drumm), a documentary filmmaker, who heads to a remote cabin in the mountains with her boyfriend Alex (Alex Lee Williams) to document his violent parasomnia. As his condition worsens, Mallory suspects something more sinister may be at play. As the nightmares escalate, so do the scares, right through the final frame.
“I vividly remember every movie that truly terrified me. I remember standing on 25th street in New York City when my friend Kevin Foxe handed me a VHS of a film he had produced, which had just gotten into Sundance, called The Blair Witch Project, and that night I had to sleep with the lights on,” Roth said in a statement. “I remember watching a screener of Paranormal Activity during the filming of Inglorious Basterds in my apartment in Berlin, and I was so freaked out that I had to give it to Quentin to traumatize him as well.
“And then there was Dream Eater, watching this movie alone, in my house, and turning on the lights because it was that scary. It has been so long since I have been truly terrified by a film to such a degree that I had almost forgotten what it felt like. What these three filmmakers have pulled is not just remarkable on a low-budget DIY filmmaking level; they achieve the holy grail of horror, which is to make a movie that absolutely terrifies you. I was so blown away that I sent the film to everyone at The Horror Section, and we all agreed that this is ‘the one.’ I believe Dream Eater will be the scariest film of the year and truly has the potential to break out to be the next Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project.”
The feature debut of YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann, Shelby Oaks is now available on Digital to rent ($9.99) or purchase ($19.99) at home from distributor NEON.
Drawing comparisons to The Blair Witch Project and Hereditary, Chris Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks incorporates found footage elements in a traditional narrative.
It follows a film crew who uncovers a disturbing new lead in a woman’s obsessive search for her missing sister, steering her into a terrifying mystery at the hands of an unknown evil.
Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Robin Bartlett, Michael Beach, Sarah Durn, and Derek Mears star in the horror movie Shelby Oaks.

From Dark Star Pictures and director Devin Lawrence, indie horror movie The Disinvited puts a nightmarish spin on the concept of wedding crashing. It’s now available on VOD.
The film is described as “a tense, darkly comic high-desert thriller.”
“Against his—or anyone’s—better judgment, Carl crashes an event where he’s no longer welcome, triggering a single day of betrayal, violence, heartache, and exes who should never reunite.
“When he discovers he isn’t the only unwanted guest in the desert, Carl must decide whether to save himself or risk everything for those who wronged him.”
Sam Daly, Dani Reynolds, Ryan Vincent, D.K. Uzoukwu, Alana Johnston, Samantha Jean Kwok, and Ronnie Gene Blevins star in The Disinvited.
The boundaries between life, death, and illusion will blur in The Grove, which was released on digital outlets at home via Filmhub today. Said to recall the works of Jordan Peele and M. Night Shyamalan, the genre-bending horror thriller fuses elements of psychological suspense, supernatural mystery, and science fiction allegory into a thought-provoking narrative.
In The Grove, “after a Black Ops soldier goes under an experiment to create a better life for him and his fiancée, his homecoming turns tragic when he stops taking his medication, descending into feral madness. What was supposed to be a relaxing lake house getaway with friends becomes a fight for survival, testing the limits of love and sanity.”
Acoryé White and Patrycja Kepa write and direct for Anchored Lens Productions.
Acoryé White also stars with Carl Anthony Payne II, Psalms, Haley Sims, Graham Edmonds. The film’s supporting cast includes Guxci, Anuschka van Lent, Alestair Shu, Jesus Venegas, Jolena Wu, Ethan Melisano, and Lucky Johnson.
The star of Damien Leone’s original Terrifier movie, Jenna Kanell is back in the Christmas horror-comedy We’re So Dead, which was released onto VOD outlets today.
The villain in this one? A Christmas Karen.
In We’re So Dead, “A huge party has canceled and dashed a restaurant staff’s hopes of a big holiday tip. Surviving the shift becomes much more than side work and a deep clean, when a Karen, unhappy with her service, goes on a spree to murder the entire staff.”
Ken MacLaughlin directed the holiday horror comedy.
The 1960s Eurospy throwback Reflection in a Dead Diamond will stream December 5 exclusively on Shudder, but for now it’s playing in select theaters this weekend.
Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani — the husband-and-wife filmmaking duo behind Amer, The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears, and Let the Corpses Tan — write and direct.
In the film, when the mysterious woman in the room next door disappears, a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur is confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which movie making, memories, and madness collide.
The film stars Golden Globe-winning Italian actor Fabio Testi, Yannick Renier, Koen De Bouw, Maria De Medeiros, Céline Camara and introduces newcomer Thi Mai Nguyen.
Reflection in a Dead Diamond debuted in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival and went on to play notable festivals including Fantastic Fest and the Tribeca Film Festival.
Fabio Testi (What Have You Done to Solange?), Yannick Renier, Koen De Bouw (Loft), Maria de Medeiros (Pulp Fiction), and Thi Mai Nguyen star in this wild slice of cinema.
Writer/Director Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports, Big Game) is back with action sequel SISU: Road to Revenge, which was released in theaters nationwide beginning today.
The sequel promises a “wall-to-wall cinematic action event.”
In the sequel, “Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, ‘the man who refuses to die’ (Jorma Tommila) dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor.
“When the Red Army commander who killed his family (Stephen Lang from Don’t Breathe) comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues – a fight to the death, full of clever, unbelievable action set pieces.”
Richard Brake (3 from Hell) also stars in the mega-violent sequel.
The original 2023 action movie introduced a solitary prospector during the last desperate days of WWII as he crosses paths with a nasty bunch of Nazis. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. They’ve severely underestimated the man and how far he’ll go, or kill, to get it back.
