10 new horror films that are almost terrifying
Do you like horror movies that turn out great? Let's look at 10 recent horror movies that were so close to being amazing.
1. Heart Eyes
This movie mixes horror with romantic comedy. The chemistry between Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding is great. The killer looks scary but the ending is very predictable; it feels like an old horror movie from the early 2000s. Started strong, but ended too safe and basic.
2. Companion
A girl finds out she's actually a robot built for her boyfriend. Sophie Thatcher gives a great performance. The movie is full of surprises and crazy twists. But it doesn't always make sense if you think too much. Characters act weird just to push the story forward. Fun ride, but very messy and silly in logic.
3. Drop
A mom gets scary messages through AirDrop while on a date. The first hour is super suspenseful and fun. Meghann Fahy acts really well. But the ending goes full silly mode with weird action. The villain reveal is boring and obvious. It starts stylish, but ends like a goofy TV show.
4. The Monkey
A killer monkey toy causes crazy deaths. The death scenes are brutal and creative. Theo James plays two brothers and does a great job, but the ending gets way too confusing and messy. Some bad CGI ruins the vibe but overall great build-up, but poor and strange wrap-up.
Live Events
5. Azrael
Set in a silent post-apocalyptic world. No talking, just action and tension. Samara Weaving kills it with her expressions, but there's no deep story or strong characters. The ending feels empty and sudden. Cool concept, but lacks full emotional impact.
6. Final Destination: Bloodlines
A fresh entry in the famous death-trap horror series. First two-thirds are fun, gross, and shocking. Tony Todd appears and adds weight. But the ending copies older films in the series. The twists are super obvious if you know biology. Seems like the studio messed with the final act.
7. In a Violent Nature
A slow, artsy take on slasher films. The camera follows the killer, not the victims. Some death scenes are unforgettable, but the ending drags too long. Final 15 minutes are talky and lose focus. Almost genius, but falls asleep at the finish line.
8. Your Monster
A woman meets a literal monster who helps her find herself. Mixes horror, comedy, and romance really well. Melissa Barrera is amazing. But the ending twist is weird and disappointing. It changes the whole story in a not-fun way. Great mix of genres, just wish it ended better.
9. Don't Move
A woman is paralyzed slowly after being attacked. Super tense in the beginning and acting from Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock, but they stretched the story too long. Plot twists feel fake just to keep it going. 'Don't Move' could have made a better short film.
10. Borderline
A pop star is stalked by a crazy fan in the '90s. Ray Nicholson is wild and amazing as the villain. Alba Baptista also shines in a twisted role, but Samara's role feels too basic. The movie doesn't show enough '90s vibes despite the setting. Fun and weird, but not fully developed.

Heart Eyes OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding's rom-com horror film online
Heart Eyes OTT Release Date: Love, laughter… and murder? That's the twist this film brings to the screen - a Valentine's Day-themed rom-com with a sharp, slasher edge. After a theatrical release in February 2025 and a digital rollout in March, this quirky horror-romance is finally heading to a mega screening. Mark your calendars, Heart Eyes will be available to stream on Netflix starting May 8, 2025. A killer twist on love Directed by Josh Ruben (Scare Me, Werewolves Within), Heart Eyes turns the typical romantic comedy on its head by adding a serial killer into the mix. Set around Valentine's Day, the story follows the rise of a masked murderer known as the Heart Eyes Killer, who has been haunting the holiday for years by stalking and killing romantic couples. This year, the horror continues… but not without a dose of romance and charm. At the centre of the chaos are Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding, who play an unlikely couple thrown together by fate and fear. What starts as a chance romantic spark quickly turns into a wild survival ride as they try to stay alive and, maybe, fall in love in the process. This film brings together a solid cast including Olivia Holt (Cruel Summer, Kickin' It), Mason Gooding (Scream VI, Love, Victor), Gigi Zumbado, Jordana Brewster, and Devon Sawa, among others. Some reports suggest that Netflix streaming will be available only in the US, and if that happens, regions in Asia will get the film around May/June 2025, while other countries may have to wait up to a year or more. Box office and reception While Heart Eyes didn't break records at the box office, it did quite well considering its $18 million budget, earning $33 million worldwide. What really helped the movie shine was word of mouth and strong critical reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a critic score of 81% and an audience score of 77%—a clear sign that both horror fans and rom-com lovers found something to enjoy. Over on IMDb, it sits at a 6.1/10, reflecting mixed but mostly positive reactions. Critics appreciated how the film embraced both genres without taking itself too seriously. As one reviewer put it: 'It's a rom-com that knows it's fighting for attention—and it wins by having fun with itself.'
