When a new and even deadlier android named AMELIA threatens humanity, Gemma (Allison Williams) realises the only way to fight a robot is with another robot … even if it means unleashing M3GAN again.

Final Destination Bloodlines

Death never forgets — it just bides its time. Fourteen years after the last instalment, the Final Destination franchise returns with Bloodlines, a chilling new spin on fate’s cruel game. Iris (Gabrielle Rose) has spent decades outwitting Death after a premonition in 1969 allowed her to avert a tragedy — only to see the curse resurface in her granddaughter Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), who starts having the same terrifying visions. As past and present collide, family secrets unravel, and the inevitable looms large. Packed with nerve-jangling set pieces and the franchise’s trademark fatal twists, Bloodlines proves you can’t cheat Death forever.

Sinners

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler takes a bite out of the vampire-horror genre in his fifth film collaboration with actor Michael B. Jordan.

In the Deep South during the Jim Crow era, twin brothers Smoke and Stack (Jordan in a dual role) return to their hometown in Mississippi, where Stack runs into his old flame, Mary (Hailee Steinfeld), and Smoke reunites with his estranged wife, Annie (Wunmi Mosaku).

But it’s not just long-buried relationships that are being reawakened — the brothers’ brand-new juke joint soon attracts the attention of the undead, led by the Irish bloodsucker Remmick (Jack O’Connell), on opening night. They’re thirsty as hell, and it’s not for the moonshine …

Sinners isn’t just a scare-fest — Coogler smuggles in hefty themes, such as the oppression of Black people in America, into the movie. But none of its thematic explorations feel heavy-handed or clunky. At turns terrifying, sexy, and smart, Sinners is, as trade magazine Variety says, a “wild throat-ripping blowout”.

The Gorge

In this high-concept Apple TV+ horror-romance from Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson, Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) play two elite snipers from different worlds finding common ground. Sent to guard opposite sides of a top-secret, foggy chasm for a year, Levi (Teller) and Drasa (Taylor-Joy) are forbidden from communicating with their counterpart. Their mission: keep whatever is in the gorge from getting out.

As the days turn to months and fleeting glances become longing gazes, the two strangers begin to set their sights on each other. One of them attempts to bridge the gap in their literal long-distance relationship by scrawling messages to the other party, and quickly, friendship — maybe even a romance — blossoms. But as sparks fly, the threats also mount, and they will both have to face the abominable horrors that lie between them.

Locked

Self-driving cars may be the future, but in this twisted sci-fi horror, they’re straight out of a nightmare.

Eddie (Bill Skarsgård), a small-time crook with a soft spot for his daughter, thinks he’s scored big when he stumbles upon an unlocked luxury SUV in an empty parking lot. But the moment he gets inside, the doors seal shut — and the nightmare begins. With no phone signal, no way out, and windows that block all view from the outside, Eddie is trapped in a high-tech prison on wheels.

Then comes the voice. Enter William (Anthony Hopkins), the car’s unseen owner, who begins a sadistic game of psychological and physical torment — remotely controlling the car’s systems to freeze, fry, and electrocute Eddie at will. What follows is a tense, claustrophobic battle of wits and willpower, as Eddie fights to survive the ultimate vehicular hell.

A remake of the Argentinian thriller 4x4, Locked cranks up the tension with a chilling concept and a powerhouse solo performance by Skarsgård, who’s now a certified horror heavyweight thanks to roles in It, Nosferatu, and Barbarian. If you’re into tech nightmares and slow-burn dread, buckle up: Locked is one wild, white-knuckle ride.

Companion

In this sci-fi thriller, the perfect weekend getaway turns into a chaotic nightmare.

Josh (Jack Quaid) and his girlfriend Iris (Sophie Thatcher) are guests at an exclusive, secluded lake house belonging to Russian billionaire Sergey (Rupert Friend). Sergey’s mistress, Kat (Megan Suri), has invited the couple and Eli (Harvey Guillén), who brings his partner, Patrick (Lukas Gage), to the luxurious estate. Iris is meeting Josh’s friends for the first time, and they seem to treat her with a degree of suspicion.

When Iris emerges covered in blood, the group is plunged into chaos. It turns out that Iris is a companion robot that Josh is renting from the company Empathix, and while he thinks he has complete control over her, Iris has other plans.

A classic horror premise with a high-tech twist, Companion has earned critical acclaim for its deft combination of horror, sci-fi, and black comedy. It has shades of the Terminator franchise and Ex Machina but is also original enough to feel fresh.

The movie riffs on the real phenomenon of people who have romantic relationships with AI chatbots, making a corporeal version of such a chatbot its protagonist. It offers a pointed commentary on the ethics of our relationship with AI without coming across as too serious or sombre, resulting in a fun, zeitgeisty, escapist flick.

Trap

Director M. Night Shyamalan is known for the twists in his movies, having made his name with The Sixth Sense. Trap mixes things up by having its big twist happen early, even revealing it in the movie’s trailer.

In Philadelphia, firefighter Cooper (Josh Hartnett) takes his teenage daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to a Lady Raven (M. Night’s daughter, Saleka Night Shyamalan) concert at the Tanaka Arena. Cooper notices a heightened police presence, and it turns out that the FBI is using the concert as a trap to catch the serial killer known as ‘The Butcher’, whom the police know is in attendance. It so happens that Cooper himself is The Butcher. He tries to evade capture and avoid alerting his daughter as the manhunt for him heats up.

Trap is a showcase for Hartnett’s acting prowess. The actor, once poised to be a typical Hollywood heartthrob, has deliberately sought out weirder, smaller projects and has recently regained prominence with roles in movies like Oppenheimer and the TV show The Bear. Cooper is both a loving, doting dad and an unhinged murderer, and watching Hartnett play those shades of the character is a big part of the joy of Trap.

Describing the movie as “a coming-of-age story for a serial killer”, Hartnett tells Rolling Stone: “This is a character that thinks of himself in a certain way and has been putting on this front. Underneath it, he’s been consistent in believing he’s this abomination, this monster. This is the day that he finds out that maybe there’s a part of himself that’s not.”

While some might find several of the plot turns implausible, Trap is still a deviously entertaining watch and delivers scares aplenty.
