Chaos reigns on a bizarre babysitting gig in the mysterious new teaser for found footage horror movie Dooba Dooba.
Dark Sky Films releases Dooba Dooba on January 23, 2026.
The found footage horror movie follows “Amna as she arrives for what she assumes will be a typical babysitting gig. She realizes she’s very mistaken when she learns that Monroe, the girl she’s babysitting, is not only sixteen, but suffers from severe anxiety after having watched her brother get murdered when she was a child. Monroe’s behavior becomes increasingly unbearable until Amna questions whether she wants to stay, not realizing she has no choice.”
Ehrland Hollingsworth writes and directs.
Amna Vegha, Betsy Sligh, Winston Haynes, Erin O’Meara, and Billy Hulsey star. Producers include Michelle Sligh, Amna Vegha, Hollingsworth, and Josh Harris.
Dooba Dooba was shot entirely on an in-home security camera and draws on elements of analog horror popularized on YouTube.

Emmy-nominated “Dragula” creators The Boulet Brothers are gifting fans with The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors this Christmas, and it’s now streaming on Shudder.
The anthology film features four original shorts from Swanthula & Dracmorda Boulet, Late Night with the Devil star David Dastmalchian, Malginant and M3GAN writer Akela Cooper, and “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Midnight Mass” actress Kate Siegel.
“Gaudete” is written and directed by the Boulets and stars Bonnie Aarons, Aaron Abrams, Briana Venskus, and Eloisa Huggins.
After inheriting their grandmother’s old house, a family attempts to settle in on Christmas Eve. But as strange sounds echo through the halls and tensions rise, an unseen presence forces them to face a chilling secret buried within the home.
“Yeti or Not” is directed by Dastmalchian from a script he co-wrote with Leah Kilpatrick and Jennifer Polania. Dastmalchian plays the Yeti along with Lauren LaVera, Jennifer Polania, and Leah Kilpatrick.
Three close friends embark on a wilderness search to find their missing sister and friend. What they discover in the snow covered wild is something more terrifying and inhuman than they could have ever imagined.

The worst case scenario for good little boys and girls comes true…
Said to be in the vein of Jordan Peele, Afraid? is now available on VOD.
The movie is written and directed by SkyDirects.
“Five daring teenagers head to the woods for a Halloween weekend getaway. What begins as an innocent table game called What Are You Afraid Of? quickly turns deadly.”
Kendre Berry, Teairra Mari, Lil’ Fizz, and Nakosha Briggs star.
The horror movie’s soundtrack includes “X Moves” by DMX featuring Bootsy Collins, Steve Howe, and Ian Paice, “Werk That” by Salma Slims featuring Too $hort, and “She Likes” by Pleasure P featuring LeToya Luckett, plus music from Babychaos, Nite, and 12AM.
“Afraid? was inspired by my curiosity about what fear looks like when it’s real. Not the kind that comes from monsters, but the kind that lives inside people,” explains SkyDirects. “I wanted to explore how fear strips away comfort and reveals who we really are when trust turns to survival. It’s a reflection of how fear tests our humanity when the masks come off.”
A brand new New Years Eve-themed horror movie from producer Jeffrey Reddick (Final Destination), New Fears Eve is now streaming exclusively on Screambox.
In New Fears Eve from directors P.J. Starks & Eric Huskisson…
“When three co-workers are forced to host their company’s annual New Year’s Eve party, they’re not prepared for an unexpected guest: a serial killer dubbed “The Doctor,” who targets the party and turns the night of celebration into a bloodbath and fight for survival.”
The cast includes Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie), Hannah Fierman (V/H/S), Lily Claire Harvey, Jay Woolston, Alyssa Rhoads, Roni Jonah, Turner Vaughn and Jesse MacDonald. The film’s Special Effects were handled by Taintbad Productions’ Stephen J. Hodke with Isa Suzanne and Blaze Bolden.
P.J. Starks previews, “I’m a huge fan of slashers. Particularly the 1980s. I repeatedly watch Hell Night, My Bloody Valentine, Madman, The Prowler, and the like. It was only a matter of time before I conceived my own take on the sub-genre. Once I came up with the title, which randomly popped into my head one day, it was a matter of fleshing out the story.”
The explosive action event of the year, sequel SISU: Road to Revenge is now available on Digital at home. Writer/Director Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports, Big Game) is back at the helm, steering this carnage-fueled sequel into over-the-top excess.
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 action-thriller.
While the new Anaconda reboot goes for comedy in theaters next week on Christmas Day, The Asylum’s latest mockbuster The Anacondas echoes the franchise’s creature feature roots.
The Anacondas was unleashed onto VOD outlets today.
The film follows explorers in Mexico who uncover the ruins of an ancient, snake-worshiping civilization. Celebration turns to horror when they awaken an ever-growing anaconda, starved of human sacrifices for centuries. The team must band together to survive.
Marcel Walz (Blood Feast 2016, Blind) directs from a script by Ryan Ebert (Shark Side of the Moon) and Marc Gottlieb (Aquarium of the Dead). Dominic Keating (“Star Trek: Enterprise”), Danielle Titus, and Bix Krieger (V/H/S/Beyond) star in the film.
It’s said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, but what happens when sinister forces want the past to be the present? That’s the premise behind The Plantation, which appears to be a socially charged genre film in the vein of Get Out.
The horror-thriller is now available on VOD from Quiver Distribution.
“An interracial couple takes a backpacking trip deep into the Louisiana swamps where they encounter sinister forces at an old plantation hell-bent on turning the past into the present.”
Liz Lafontant (Killroy Was Here), Brandon Lessard, Devante Winfrey, Baylee Toney, Robert Clohessy (“Oz”), and Kristina Klebe (Halloween 2007) star.
Myles Wyatt Clohessy writes and directs horror movie The Plantation, in addition to producing alongside Antony Ware, Ramsey Heitmann, Rob Simmons, and Mike Walsh.
Indie psychological thriller No More Time has also infected VOD today.
The film follows a couple that seeks refuge in a remote mountain town to escape a mysterious disease that makes some people disappear and others turn into hateful murderers. Strange figures begin to emerge from the surrounding forest, unclear if they are helping or harming.
As the stakes grow higher and the dangers draw closer, the couple must decide who to trust and what they are willing to do to survive.
Writer-director Dalila Droege makes her feature debut on the project.
Jennifer Harlow, Mark Reeb, Tunde Adebimpe (Twisters), and David Sullivan (Primer) star with Amy Seimetz (Alien: Covenant) and Jim Beaver (“Supernatural”).
Sydney Sweeney (Immaculate) and Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body) play a seductive game in psychological thriller The Housemaid, now playing in theaters nationwide.
Paul Feig (Ghostbusters, A Simple Favor) directed The Housemaid.
In the film, “Millie, trying to escape her past, accepts a position as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy family. But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.”
Rebecca Sonnenshine (“The Boys,” “The Vampire Diaries”) wrote the script, based on Freida McFadden‘s 2022 novel of the same name. Brandon Sklenar (Drop), Michele Morrone (Another Simple Favor), and Elizabeth Perkins (“Weeds”) also star.
A catastrophic, world-ending flood creates an intense fight for survival in the Korean sci-fi disaster movie The Great Flood, which is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
In the film, “When a raging flood traps a researcher and her young son, a call to a crucial mission puts their escape — and the future of humanity — on the line.”
The Great Flood centers on An-na (Kim Da-mi) and her son Ja-in (Kwon Eun-seong) as their everyday life gets brutally upended by a natural disaster of apocalyptic proportions.
Glimpses of a space bound rocket and teases a strange mission from security officer Hee-jo (Park Hae-soo) in the film’s official trailer (below) indicate more sci-fi than meets the eye.
The Great Flood was written and directed by Kim Byung-woo (The Terror Live).

Full Moon Features recently poll its fans to choose their upcoming productions, and the results are in.
The studio’s 2026 slate will include nine new titles:
In Models vs. Werewolves, five young models go to an AirBnb in the woods for a full moon that comes once every 500 years. What starts off as the perfect girl’s trip quickly becomes a nightmare as a pack of ancient werewolves are awoken by the new moon…
In Dungeon Dolls, three beautiful women wake up in a basement dungeon, finding themselves dressed like life-sized dolls. An insane gamekeeper in a mask makes the scene, challenging the girls to escape his “Toy Box” escape room through a series of terrifying tasks that indulge his twisted perversions.
In The Grim Rapper, when a greedy record executive uses AI to resurrect a murdered hip-hop legend, the rapper’s vengeful spirit returns with a cursed boom box, trapping a grieving lover and her friends inside a recording studio where the dead hunt the living one beat at a time.
In Terror Express, a murder-mystery bachelorette party aboard a luxury train takes a wicked turn when the bridesmaids open an antique puzzle box, unleashing three seductive incubi who charm their way into the ladies’ sleeper cars, secretly plotting to drain their life force and become mortal once again.
In Buried Secrets, the Lost Catacombs of Bomarzo are rumored to hold a fortune in jewels for anyone brave enough to dig them up. When a daring (or maybe foolhardy) group of young Adventurers dare to unearth the hidden graves they manage to find the treasure — but also awaken a buried demon who’s looking for blood — and for someone to take his place in the darkness.
In Lost Girl’s Private Diary, a struggling writer finds an old diary written in blood, chronicling a Victorian girl’s supernatural affairs. When she decides to steal the stories for her own novel, she accidentally completes an ancient ritual through the transcription. Now skeletal demons are crawling into her world, demanding payment in flesh.
In Robotica, two security guards working the midnight shift in an adult toy company find themselves the target of a half-dismantled and severely malfunctioning female sex doll prototype named Robotica.
In Sirens of Seduction, for a price, one can approach the mysterious Professor Grantham, who has spent a lifetime crafting his demonic Sirens — beautiful female heads carved from alabaster, ruby, and crystal and draped in silk. Whisper the proper words into their tiny ears and they will fly, sing, kiss — and kill.
In Catacombs of Horror, in a remote Italian village, a young traveler falls for a charming local, only to discover that the catacombs beneath his family’s estate hide an ancient creature the villagers have secretly appeased with unsuspecting tourists for generations — and she’s been marked as its next offering. Worse still, the man she’s been sharing a bed with is its devoted high priest.
Each production will be shot in either Cleveland, Los Angeles, or Italy beginning in January.
JoBlo reports that Full Moon founder Charles Band will direct several of the movies, with others helmed by frequent collaborators like William Butler (Gingerdead Man 2 & 3), Chris Alexander (Necropolis: Legion), and Brooks Davis (The Gingerweed Man).
Here’s hoping that the movies rely less on AI slop than the promotional artwork…

Burke Doeren makes his feature directorial debut from a script by Katrina Mathewson & Tanner Bean (“Dexter: Resurrection”).
“Grizzly Night is a film that carries an important message of respecting nature and wildlife — and that’s absolutely what drew us to want to tell this story as a feature film,” said Doeren.
“We only have one planet, and we need to respect it and the animals who inhabit it with us. We’re very thankful that our brilliant cast and crew connected so deeply with this story and that we’re able to bring it to the screen.”
