The film promises to continue delivering the terror and grotesque fun that characterizes the series, known for its blend of horror and dark humor.
A movie that promises deep terror… and comedy
The trailer begins in an unsettling manner, showing a mother unloading a dishwasher full of sharp cutlery. This initial scene, which clearly sets an ominous tone, is suddenly interrupted by a loud knock at the door, increasing the tension and suspense of the situation. Although many plot details have been kept secret, this introduction seems to indicate that the story will explore the concept of family, a recurring element in horror narratives.
Evil Dead Burn would be the next chapter in the long-running saga, which has evolved over the years since its first film directed by Sam Raimi. The franchise has managed to renew itself, including remakes and spin-offs, reflecting its enduring popularity in the horror film culture. With a new director and possibly a fresh cast, fans are eager to see how the story of the Necronomicons and the demons that torment its characters will be continued.
Although specific details about the cast and plot remain scarce, Evil Dead Burn is expected to maintain the essence that has made this series a cult classic. With the release of the trailer, fans have plenty to talk about while they await its theatrical release. The release date and other details have not yet been revealed, but there is a palpable sense of anticipation among genre followers.

The adaptations of Stephen King’s books are so numerous that it is difficult to keep track of them. Among the most recent, Pet Sematary, directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, has stood out significantly.
The story revolves around the Creed family, who move to a house in Maine and discover a mysterious cemetery in the woods that has the unsettling power to resurrect the dead. Louis Creed, played by Jason Clarke, is a Boston doctor who faces unimaginable tragedy after the death of his cat, Church.
When buried in the cemetery, Church returns home, but his return is not as expected; he appears more aggressive and strange. The situation becomes even darker when Ellie, the youngest daughter, dies and Louis decides to resurrect her, triggering a cycle of horror and loss for the family.
Pet Sematary has proven to be a resounding commercial success, grossing $113.1 million worldwide on a budget of just $21 million. This success reflects the viability of King adaptations in today’s film landscape and their continued resonance with audiences.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second adaptation of the eponymous book, with the first version released in 1989 and directed by Mary Lambert, which is currently available on Movistar Plus.
In a world where horror and suspense productions continue to gain ground in streaming, Pet Sematary stands out as a clear example of how King’s stories continue to capture the attention of new generations of viewers.
Between the late 70s and the mid-90s, horror cinema was dominated by slashers. Supernatural serial killers who hunted down teenagers who had committed some kind of moral failing and had to be punished by the murderous headlines of their films. Becoming true icons of their franchises, the most popular ones are now figures of pop culture. Freddy Kruger, Jason Vorhees, or Michael Myers are fondly and passionately remembered, largely due to their enormous charisma and personality.

Between the late 70s and the mid-90s, horror cinema was dominated by slashers. Supernatural serial killers who hunted down teenagers that had committed some kind of moral failing and had to be punished by the murderous headlines of their films. Becoming true icons of their franchises, the most popular are now figures of pop culture. Freddy Kruger, Jason Vorhees, and Michael Myers are fondly and passionately remembered, largely due to their immense charisma and personality. And the fact that two of them didn’t even utter a word in more than ten films.
But even the slashers that didn’t have that level of impact were based on this premise and this appeal. That the titular slasher, that mysterious and seemingly invincible killer, had a charisma that made it easy to side with him, even if the protagonists, those suffering teenagers, didn’t necessarily deserve to die. This also happened in one of the most revered franchises of the genre from the 90s: I Know What You Did Last Summer.
A long-standing franchise
I Know What You Did Last Summer was born in 1973 as a young adult suspense novel written by Lois Duncan. At the time of its publication, it received a very modest reception, and that is understandable. Although it is entertaining on the thriller side, managing to maintain suspense, the writing is not particularly brilliant and the characters lack interesting development, making everything rely on the interest of its premise and the strength of its development: a group of teenage kids receive a mysterious note saying “I know what you did last summer,” referring to what they did when they hit a boy on a bike whom they thought was dead and believed no one had seen them.
Although the novel never manages to elevate its interest beyond the strength of its premise, it is memorable enough that more than 20 years later it was revived in Hollywood. Because in 1997, I Know What You Did Last Summer was released.
Directed by Jim Gillespie with a script by Kevin Williamson, who had previously written both Scream and Dawson’s Creek, they decided to base it on the novel but adapt it to their own interests. They took the basic premise we have already discussed, but the rest of the story would focus on how they are stalked by a killer with a hook who seeks to murder them in the most brutal and agonizing way possible, in true slasher style.
The movie was a success in every possible way. Costing just 17 million dollars, it managed to gross over 125. The reissue of the book for the movie’s release, which was not a great success at the time, sold 517,000 copies in just over a year. It received numerous award nominations and even though the critics did not adore it, they did not consider it an absolute failure: there was some dissent, with part of the critics tearing it apart, but another part claiming it was a good product of its time, considering that the slasher genre was in decline.
This led to a series of sequels of which only the first one is understood. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer premiered just a year later, in 1998, and, with a cost of only 24 million, it managed to gross 84 million at the box office. But without any award nominations and being absolutely panned by critics, they decided to give the franchise a break.
An interesting return to the origins
Because in 2006 they released, directly on DVD, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer 3. An even worse disaster than the second movie that seemed to condemn the film to oblivion forever: it was no longer the era of slashers. Or so it seemed until 2021 when they decided to release an adaptation on Prime Video that was more faithful to the original novel, titled I Know What You Did Last Summer, with James Wan as executive producer and belonging to the same cinematic universe. Although it was canceled in its first season, the reception was lukewarm, compared to the terrible reception of the two previous adaptations, and perhaps that encouraged them to the movie that is now coming to streaming: the definitive return of the franchise.
I Know What You Did Last Summer is not a reboot, but a direct sequel to I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Taking place years later and following the surviving characters and how they lead their lives after the events of the first two films, it ignores everything that happened after those to focus on the films that were a success.
With a budget of 18 million dollars and revenues of just over 64 million at the box office, it was a modest success during its run in theaters. Critics were, once again, almost enthusiastic about the film, stating that its entire value lay in being a return to the origins of the franchise, appealing to nostalgia more than to a unique personality. Although that was precisely what captivated its fans: it is a film that knows how to capture what made the original movies interesting and replicate it in 2025, even if it doesn’t do anything particularly original with it.
If you fondly remember the franchise and want to see how good this third installment is, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is available on Movistar Plus+ since February 19. However, we recommend that you don’t do anything questionable during the summer…
The world of cinema is preparing for a new adaptation of The Mist, the iconic work by Stephen King, despite the fact that there is already a high-quality film version directed by Frank Darabont in 2007. This new movie will be under the direction of Mike Flanagan, a renowned filmmaker who has demonstrated his mastery in the horror genre with projects like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. A film that was already a success Flanagan is no stranger to the King universe, having made adaptations like Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep
This new movie will be directed by Mike Flanagan, a renowned filmmaker who has demonstrated his mastery in the horror genre with projects like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass.
One of the most intriguing questions about this new adaptation is the fate of the ending. The 2007 film is famous for its conclusion, which was considered by King to be superior to the one written in the original book.
With Flanagan at the helm of the script, there is anticipation that the new film will offer a renewed and perhaps more elaborate closure, although it has not yet been officially revealed what direction this new version will take.
It is worth remembering that before this new movie, The Mist had already had a television adaptation in 2017 that was canceled after a single season of 10 episodes, which could indicate a complicated task for Flanagan in trying to capture the audience’s interest in a story that has already been reinterpreted in different forms.
As the production process progresses, fans of Stephen King and horror cinema eagerly await more details about this renowned new project.
Between 2000 and 2020, at least 30 serious attacks involving primates were recorded in the United States, revealing the complexity of the relationship between humans and chimpanzees. This conflict has increased in Africa as human expansion invades the natural habitats of these emotionally complex and territorial animals, which can exert incredible force. Concerns about keeping primates as pets are heightened with the upcoming release of ‘Primate’, a film directed by Johannes Roberts that addresses this issue explicitly and viscerally.

Between 2000 and 2020, at least 30 serious attacks involving primates were recorded in the United States, revealing the complexity of the relationship between humans and chimpanzees. This conflict has increased in Africa as human expansion invades the natural habitats of these emotionally complex and territorial animals, which can exert incredible force. Concerns about keeping primates as pets are heightened with the upcoming release of ‘Primate’, a film directed by Johannes Roberts that addresses this issue explicitly and viscerally.
A movie about a monkey that changes character
The film, which is set to debut on February 6, follows a domesticated chimpanzee named Ben, whose violence erupts after being bitten by an infected mongoose. This plot twist places a group of young people in a situation of extreme danger, forcing them to take refuge in a pool on the edge of a cliff. The movie is framed as a tribute to horror cinema from the 1980s and 1990s, presenting a humorous and exaggerated approach that echoes contemporary anxieties about violence and living with dangerous animals.
‘Primate’ stands out for its clarity of intentions, offering an experience that does not seek to deceive the viewer: it is a film that directly portrays the threat posed by these powerful beings. With a remarkable use of darkness and a soundtrack inspired by the work of John Carpenter, the film manages to capture the essence of the most visceral terror, generating laughter and scares in equal measure.
However, beyond its entertaining premise, ‘Primate’ invites reflection on the risk of having such a strong and territorial animal as a pet. Although the film may seem like a simple series of gore excesses, it raises important questions about the commercial exploitation of nature and the inherent danger of domesticating wild animals.
The film adaptation of The Mortuary Assistant will premiere in theaters on February 13, coinciding with the recent release of a trailer that presents a narrative of demonic invasion. This movie is based on the eponymous video game, which became a surprising success in 2022, where players take on the role of a mortuary assistant who must perform embalming and occult rituals during an unusual night of work.

The film adaptation of The Mortuary Assistant will premiere in theaters on February 13, coinciding with the recent release of a trailer that features a narrative of demonic invasion. This movie is based on the eponymous video game, which became a surprising success in 2022, where players take on the role of a mortuary apprentice who must perform embalming and occult rituals during an unusual night of work.
A movie that will give you goosebumps
The movie trailer seems to take a more conventional approach to horror, in contrast to the game which is characterized by a more subtle development focused on the everyday aspects of morticians’ lives. In the video game, moments of tension arise slowly, highlighting the disturbing nature of daily tasks, such as draining blood and preserving bodies. This has led to doubts about whether the film version will be able to capture the intriguing essence of the game, although there are hopes that it will be well received by the audience.
The video game has been praised for its uncompromising presentation of mortuary work, offering players an immersive experience where, beyond the horror, the reality of morticians is examined. In comparison, the movie trailer presents a more straightforward narrative structure, focusing on the need to confront an entity that must be exorcised, which could possibly detract from the depth of the elements that made the game unique.
The Mortuary Assistant is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, where interested players can download a free demo to try before they buy. As the release date approaches, fans of the game and horror movies are watching closely to see if the film will meet the expectations set by its interactive predecessor.
Directed by Lee Cronin, the new version of The Mummy promises a chilling twist compared to the past adventures starring Brendan Fraser. This reinterpretation, which focuses more on horror than adventure, brings with it a plot that gives a particular twist to the mummy myth, reinventing it as a missing young woman. The story follows the daughter of a journalist who, after disappearing in the desert, returns eight years later, turning a much-anticipated family reunion into a true nightmare.

Directed by Lee Cronin, the new version of The Mummy promises a chilling twist on the adventures of the past starring Brendan Fraser. This reinterpretation, which focuses more on horror than adventure, brings with it a plot that gives a particular twist to the mummy myth, reinventing it as a missing young woman. The story follows the daughter of a journalist who, after disappearing in the desert, returns eight years later, turning a much-anticipated family reunion into a true nightmare.
A movie shrouded in secrecy
The style of the film evokes the recent production Bring Her Back, in which a mother resorts to forbidden magic to try to resurrect her daughter, suggesting that The Mummy will also explore dark and emotional themes in its narrative. Unlike the 2017 remake starring Tom Cruise, this project does not seek to connect with the previous franchise, establishing itself as the second attempt to reboot The Mummy with a terrifying approach in the last decade.
However, the project has generated controversy. It has been reported that James Wan, a recognized producer in the horror field, supposedly walked out of a preview screening of the film, which has raised eyebrows and generated skepticism among fans and critics of the genre. Some rumors suggest that this discontent may be related to the direction that Cronin has taken in his narrative.
With its premiere scheduled for April 17, viewers will have the opportunity to judge for themselves whether this new installment manages to capture the terror and essence that characterize it. Meanwhile, a close eye will be kept on any additional developments related to this project, which has sparked as much enthusiasm as doubts in the film community.
The masterpiece of horror and science fiction cinema, Alien, the Eighth Passenger, directed by Ridley Scott, has set the course for genre cinema over the last 45 years. This film, an unavoidable rite of passage for cinephiles, maintains its impact and relevance in popular culture, standing out not only for its narrative but also for its visual aesthetics. In space, no one can hear your screams The plot follows the transport ship Nostromo, which interrupts its course on a mysterious planet under the orders of the computer system of the Weyland-Yutani corporation, which detects a […]
The plot follows the transport ship Nostromo, which interrupts its course on a mysterious planet under the orders of the Weyland-Yutani corporation’s computer system, which detects a possible alien life form. However, curiosity quickly turns into horror when a crew member is attacked by an unknown creature. This event triggers a series of catastrophic occurrences, reflecting the vulnerability of workers in the face of a corporate system that prioritizes profit over human safety.
Ridley Scott skillfully portrays this space nightmare with masterful visual direction, creating an immersive atmosphere that has influenced the development of the genre and retrofuturistic aesthetics. Every visual element, from the design of the xenomorph to the structure of the ship, is a testament to the meticulous work of Scott and his team, who have elevated the pacing and tension building in the narrative to a level that is difficult to replicate.
Sigourney Weaver’s performance in her starring role adds an additional layer of complexity, making her a benchmark in horror cinema. Alien, the Eighth Passenger is an example of how horror and science fiction can intertwine to create unforgettable experiences, justifying its famous slogan that proclaimed that, in space, no one can hear your screams. Currently, viewers can enjoy this work through La 2’s programming and on streaming platforms like Disney+.
Sony is increasingly betting on synergies. It’s no secret.

Sony is increasingly betting on synergies. It’s no secret. Its two major battlefields right now are anime and video games, and its idea is to exploit them as closely as possible, especially after seeing how well its major video game IPs can perform when brought to the big screen. Something it has only done so far with live-action films.
Because all the movies based on Sony’s major video games have been successful. Perhaps not among critics and certainly not among fans of these IPs, but they have managed to perform in what matters most to executives: making good box office numbers. This is also true for their latest approach, which, while not the best movie of 2025, is quite better than its also recent remake. We are talking about the film adaptation of Until Dawn.
A movie that has successfully adapted the video game
Adapting the 2015 video game by Supermassive Games, the original already had everything to be a movie. After all, Until Dawn put us in the shoes of eight young adults who went on vacation to the Blackwood Mountains where, due to various circumstances, they found themselves being pursued by a serial killer. Closely following the premises of slasher horror films, the game made us make decisions that ultimately led to the survival or death of our characters, in a butterfly effect that changed the game based on what we decided to do at any given moment.
While its non-linear format and the possibility that several, all, or none of the characters survive do not fit well with cinema, the fact that it is heavily inspired by horror films from the 70s and 80s does. This is something that can be seen in the movie.
Directed by David F. Sandberg, the director of the two Shazam movies and Annabelle: Creation, the film starts from the same premise as the original video game, with a twist to justify everything that happens in it. We won’t reveal it here, as we want to avoid spoilers, but it is a very clever way to justify the constant loops of the original game and explains everything that happens up to this point in the movie, giving it a very unique style and a somewhat different feel compared to other contemporary horror films.
Costing only 15 million dollars, the movie was a fairly modest success. Grossing 54 million at the box office, the film performed especially well in the United States and Canada, demonstrating that it remains the main territory for this type of films.
Unfortunately for Sony, the movie was a bit of a disaster in terms of critical reception and public opinion. With a 52% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 47 on Metacritic, the movie is rated worse than well. And considering it received a C+ on CinemaScore on a scale from A+ to F and a 63% positive rating on PostTrak from the audience, it doesn’t seem like a movie that will receive approval for a sequel. Even if, for a part of the audience that includes us, it is an enjoyable movie under the right conditions: a silly afternoon with plenty of popcorn and a good soda.
Moreover, it’s easy for you to get it. Now more than ever. The movie is now available to watch on Movistar Plus+ and to rent on AppleTV, making it easier than ever to watch it on a lazy afternoon. And if you do it knowing what you’re in for, it could very well be a good afternoon.

In a year marked by the celebration of cinematic milestones, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws stands out as it reaches its 50th anniversary since its release. Considered by Quentin Tarantino as the greatest film of all time, this masterpiece of horror cinema has not only left an indelible mark on the audience but has also forever changed the Hollywood industry. Its release in 1975 established the model for summer blockbusters, becoming a cultural phenomenon that continues to resonate to this day.
A movie that still gives you chills
The film is not only characterized by its iconic mechanical shark, known as Bruce, but the technical problems that arose during production heightened the suspense, turning an obstacle into an effective narrative tool. This contributed to the creation of a tense atmosphere that culminates in an exciting climax. The combination of drama, action, and horror has led many critics to consider Jaws not just as a horror film, but as one of the best works in Spielberg’s filmography.
Upon its release, Jaws became the highest-grossing film of all time, marking a turning point in the way film premieres were conceived. Now, with the possibility of watching the movie on platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Movistar Plus+, new generations of viewers can experience this work that has influenced countless subsequent titles about sharks and sea creatures.
Despite the differences of opinion on what the best movie of all time is, Jaws deserves to be in the conversation, not only for its box office impact but also for its masterful direction, its memorable soundtrack by John Williams, and its ability to intertwine human drama with the imminent threat of the shark. Thus, the film remains a must-see reference for cinema and horror lovers.
