9 Gory Horror Movies on Tubi Right Now 

Published

on

We love Tubi TV at iHorror, but navigating through their horror category is exhausting. It’s hard to know what’s worth watching and what’s filler, so we have gone through their enormous queue and found some gory movies that you can watch right now. Some are good, some are great, but that’s a matter of opinion. At least you don’t have to find them yourself.

Dead Snow (2009)

Nazis on ice? It’s an interesting choice, especially when said evil comrades are zombies. This horror-comedy is filled with gore, and although it might not be the best film on this list, it’s definitely a good time. The plot is mostly cut-and-paste, a group of friends decides to take a vacation to an isolated part of a nearby forest. They are soon interrupted by zombies from the Third Reich. This film has its tongue firmly planted in its cheek which means you don’t have to take the subject matter all too seriously.

Black Sheep (2006)

Ah, New Zealand horror. We love the sound of that. Their movies are quirky, comical, and outrageous. These are the exact qualities you will find in Black Sheep, an over-the-top blood bath in which cute, cuddly farm animals become blood-thirsty monsters. A science experiment goes off the rails and transforms a herd of timid sheep into a horde of unstoppable murderous beasts.

Laid to Rest (2009)

This great slasher is noteworthy for a few things. First, the killer is named ChromeSkull because of his metallic mask which is not only really cool but uniquely terrifying. Second, the practical makeup effects are gruesome and frighteningly realistic. There is one scene, in particular, that seems impossible to do without CGI. For exceptional kills and fast-paced action, Laid to Rest gets high marks for originality.

A young woman wakes up in a casket with no recollection of her past. She is pursued by a masked killer who uses a video camera to document his kills. Can she outsmart her pursuer before he takes her down?

Terrifier (2016)

This Halloween staple is getting a sequel in October. Art the Clown tries to charm his victims without saying a word. This film is not only bloody, it’s unnerving. With some great performances and an extreme gore centerpiece, this one is not for the faint of heart.

The black and white painted fiend known as Art the Clown goes on a carnage-filled killing spree on Halloween night. He stalks three women who are shocked at what this menace is capable of.

House of Wax (2005)

Dark Castle Entertainment isn’t a production company we’ve heard from in a long time. With Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis at the helm, they put out some great horror titles, House of Wax is one of them. A reboot of the 1953 Vincent Price classic of the same name, this version gets outrageously graphic. From fingers getting severed with snips, to Paris Hilton’s famous death scene, House of Wax delivers the thrills through convincing practical effects.

Again we have a group of young adults who embody all the horror movie tropes. They are on their way to a sporting event when suddenly their car breaks down. Looking for a mechanic, the group walks to a small town where the residents appear to be homebound. A wax museum displays realistic figures in different scenes around the house. This leads to some gory revelations and little room for escape.

House on Haunted Hill (2005)

Here’s another from the Dark Castle label. And again a name-only reboot of a Price classic. This one differs from the above in many ways. First, it’s not a group of teens in danger, it’s adults. And whereas House of Wax dealt with physical danger, House on Haunted Hill is supernatural. Gallons of blood are used in this gory, insane thrill ride.

A diverse group of adults is invited to a birthday party at a large cliffside mansion. Once they get there strange things start to happen at the hands of their crazy host played by Geoffrey Rush. But when things start to happen on their own, the group is left to fight for their lives inside the massive stronghold that’s been sealed shut.

The Collector (2010)

There are a handful of bloody kills in this modern slasher. The intensity and traps laid throughout the house setting are extraordinary and give viewers a lot of what they came for: gore. The masked killer of the title is smarter than your average Jason and uses that to his advantage when trapping and killing his victims. This one is not only disturbing, it’s mesmerizing.

A former convict now handyman is desperate to save his wife from loan sharks. He decides to break into a client’s house and rob them of a valuable precious stone. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer has already invaded the house, setting deadly traps throughout for unsuspecting guests. The handyman must navigate around them to save the remaining homeowners.

Feast (2005)

The amount of gore that goes into this monster opus is awe-inspiring. Practical effects are used throughout the film and it’s a wonderful sight to see. Although a bit ham-fisted, Feast is a non-stop carnage fest where blood flows like water. The creatures are incredible and there must be a limb torn off someone every two minutes. If you haven’t seen Feast, you’re not using Tubi to its full potential.

The plot is simple: A local bar is invaded by blood-thirsty creatures in the middle of the desert. The patrons must find a way to kill the monsters that can reproduce at an alarming rate.

Land of the Dead (2005)

Writer/Director George Romero returned to his zombie roots in Land of the Dead. And just like his previous Dead films, there is plenty of gore. In fact, it’s rumored the director shot two versions of this film, an R-rated one for theaters and an unrated one for DVD. In actuality, he shot the whole film once, but used greenscreen elements to obscure the gore in theaters then removed those restrictions in post for the DVD. Genius.

This entry into Romero’s oeuvre takes place after the first three films. Humans have created a fortified safe space in Pittsburg as the undead have completely taken over the world. As the zombies start to free-think, they begin to assemble, ready to attack the living in their fortress. A team of mercenaries tries to keep the dead at bay, but their time is running out.

Brad Dourif Says He’s Retiring Except For One Important Role

Published

on

Brad Dourif has been doing movies for nearly 50 years. Now it seems he is walking away from the industry at 74 to enjoy his golden years. Except, there is a caveat.

Recently, digital entertainment publication JoBlo’s Tyler Nichols talked to some of the Chucky television series cast members. During the interview, Dourif made an announcement.

“Dourif said that he’s retired from acting,” says Nichols. “The only reason he came back for the show was because of his daughter Fiona and he considers Chucky creator Don Mancini to be family. But for non-Chucky stuff, he considers himself retired.”

Dourif has voiced the possessed doll since 1988 (minus the 2019 reboot). The original movie “Child’s Play” has become such a cult classic it’s at the top of some people’s best chillers of all time. Chucky himself is ingrained in pop culture history much like Frankenstein or Jason Voorhees.

While Dourif may be known for his famous voiceover, he is also an Oscar-nominated actor for his part in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Another famous horror role is The Gemini Killer in William Peter Blatty’s Exorcist III. And who can forget Betazoid Lon Suder in Star Trek: Voyager?

The good news is that Don Mancini is already pitching a concept for season four of Chucky which might also include a feature-length movie with a series tie-in. So, Although Dourif says he is retiring from the industry, ironically he is Chucky’s friend till the end.

7 Great ‘Scream’ Fan Films & Shorts Worth a Watch

Published

on

The Scream franchise is such an iconic series, that many budding filmmakers take inspiration from it and make their own sequels or, at least, build upon the original universe created by screenwriter Kevin Williamson. YouTube is the perfect medium to showcase these talents (and budgets) with fan-made homages with their own personal twists.

The great thing about Ghostface is that he can appear anywhere, in any town, he just needs the signature mask, knife, and unhinged motive. Thanks to Fair Use laws it’s possible to expand upon Wes Craven’s creation by simply getting a group of young adults together and killing them off one by one. Oh, and don’t forget the twist. You’ll notice that Roger Jackson’s famous Ghostface voice is uncanny valley, but you get the gist.

We have gathered five fan films/shorts related to Scream that we thought were pretty good. Although they can’t possibly match the beats of a $33 million blockbuster, they get by on what they have. But who needs money? If you’re talented and motivated anything is possible as proven by these filmmakers who are well on their way to the big leagues.

Take a look at the below films and let us know what you think. And while you’re at it, leave these young filmmakers a thumbs up, or leave them a comment to encourage them to create more films. Besides, where else are you going to see Ghostface vs. a Katana all set to a hip-hop soundtrack?

Another Creepy Spider Movie Hits Shudder This Month

Published

on

Good spider films are a theme this year. First, we had Sting and then there was Infested. The former is still in theaters and the latter is coming to Shudder starting April 26.

Infested has been getting some good reviews. People are saying that it’s not only a great creature feature but also a social commentary on racism in France.

According to IMDb: Writer/director Sébastien Vanicek was looking for ideas around the discrimination faced by black and Arab-looking people in France, and that led him to spiders, which are rarely welcome in homes; whenever they’re spotted, they’re swatted. As everyone in the story (people and spiders) is treated like vermin by society, the title came to him naturally.

Shudder has become the gold standard for streaming horror content. Since 2016, the service has been offering fans an expansive library of genre movies. in 2017, they began to stream exclusive content.

Since then Shudder has become a powerhouse in the film festival circuit, buying distribution rights to movies, or just producing some of their own. Just like Netflix, they give a film a short theatrical run before adding it to their library exclusively for subscribers.

Late Night With the Devil is a great example. It was released theatrically on March 22 and will begin streaming on the platform starting April 19.

While not getting the same buzz as Late Night, Infested is a festival favorite and many have said if you suffer from arachnophobia, you might want to take heed before watching it.

Infested

According to the synopsis, our main character, Kalib is turning 30 and dealing with some family issues. “He’s fighting with his sister over an inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend. Fascinated by exotic animals, he finds a venomous spider in a shop and brings it back to his apartment. It only takes a moment for the spider to escape and reproduce, turning the whole building into a dreadful web trap. The only option for Kaleb and his friends is to find a way out and survive.”

The film will be available to watch on Shudder starting April 26.
