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. FAQs Q1. Suggest a horror movie with no dialogue? Azrael is set in a silent world and has no talking at all. Q2. Are these new horror movies worth watching? Yes, many are fun and creative, but some have weak or silly endings.

Hershey and Dandelion Media to Unwrap Founder's Story in Upcoming Major Motion Picture HERSHEY, Set for 2026 Release
Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario as Milton and Catherine HersheyPrincipal Photography Begins May 2025 Across Pennsylvania HERSHEY, Pa., April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HERSHEY, a major motion picture of chocolate pioneer Milton Hershey and his beloved wife Catherine, 'Kitty', is officially set for production beginning in May 2025. Millions worldwide instantly recognize the distinctive wrapped Hershey's bar, but few know the extraordinary human story behind it. A must-see movie for chocolate-lovers and fans alike, this movie reveals how a man who failed in business multiple times before creating an iconic chocolate empire chose to channel his success into a legacy of education and community that continues to transform lives today. A Dandelion Media production in partnership with the Hershey Entities and in association with Aloe Entertainment, Peachtree Group and RCM3 with UTA Independent Film Group will be representing worldwide rights. The HERSHEY movie is set to release in 2026, aligning with America's 250th anniversary. Directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls, Spiderwick Chronicles, Mr. Popper's Penguins), Finn Wittrock (The Big Short, Don't Move, American Horror Story) and Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus, True Detective, San Andreas) will star as Milton and Catherine Hershey; a duo that was chosen for their cross-generational appeal. HERSHEY explores the origins of the iconic chocolate empire and the ingredients that have achieved lasting cultural significance. With Waters' signature storytelling mastery, Wittrock's commanding yet heartfelt performance, and Daddario's emotional depth and captivating screen presence, the movie will stand the test of time, just like the brand itself. "Against all odds, Milton achieved great success, but unlike a lot of other wealthy men of his time, he shared his success with the working people and community around him," said Mark Waters. "The core of HERSHEY, the movie, will be the special love story between Milton and Catherine Hershey, who inspired his greatest legacy - the creation of Milton Hershey School. I'm excited to have Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario to portray these two visionaries, who believed in leaving the world a better place than they found it - the kind of wonderful, true story that audiences are hungry for right now." The film is being produced by Sharon Paul (Marlowe, Nuremberg), Mark Tilghman (An Acre of Fools, Vivaldi), Mary Aloe (Mary, Worth), Joshua Harris (Sleeping Dogs, Land of Bad) and Will Hardy, with executive producers Daniel Hank, Joseph Lanius, Flip & Susan Flippen and Joanne Marlowe (RCM3). Screenplay by Sharon Paul and Timothy Michael Hayes. More Than a Chocolate Bar: The Man Behind the IconFor over a century, the Hershey's chocolate bar has been woven into the fabric of American culture—appearing in lunchboxes, s'mores by campfires, and countless holiday celebrations. Yet the vision, resilience, and profound humanity of its creator remain largely unknown to the public. This movie bridges that gap, revealing how Milton's greatest innovation wasn't just creating chocolate for the masses, but rather his revolutionary business model as a force for social good—a concept decades ahead of its time— including the establishment of the Milton Hershey School. Hershey Entities: A Legacy of Love and Lasting ImpactMilton's legacy extends far beyond the beloved chocolate products known worldwide. In Hershey, Pa., five major entities—The Hershey Company, Milton Hershey School, Hershey Entertainment & Resorts, The M.S. Hershey Foundation and Hershey Trust Company—continue to honor his vision. For the movie, these five entities collaborated with Dandelion Media, to ensure an authentic portrayal of Milton's life. From the project's inception, the filmmakers were granted unprecedented access to the company's archives and the expertise of Hershey historians. "Milton Hershey's story exemplifies the American Dream," said Michele Buck, President and CEO of The Hershey Company. "This movie will reveal how Milton and Kitty built something far greater than a chocolate company. Their legacy extends beyond sweet treats to education, community, and opportunity for thousands. We're proud to support a film that shares the full Hershey story—one of resilience, vision and impact that continues to inspire today." "Milton and Catherine Hershey's greatest achievement wasn't chocolate—it was creating a home and school for generations of children in need," said Pete Gurt, President, Milton Hershey School. "As an alumnus of Milton Hershey School, I've seen firsthand how their vision transforms lives. This movie captures the story that inspired extraordinary generosity and a legacy that endures today through every student and graduate of our school. It's a reminder that true success is measured not by what you gain, but by what you give." Waters is represented by UTA; Wittrock is represented by CAA, Mosaic and Weissenbach Management, and Schreck Rose Dapello; Daddario is represented by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.

‘It feels enveloping and calming': the London house wrapped in cork
For most homeowners a request from a passerby to touch the exterior of their house would probably raise eyebrows. But for the owner of Nina's House, which is covered with unusual and striking cork insulation panels, it is not only a common occurrence but is welcomed. The conversations may start with curiosity but much of the time lead to lengthy, passionate discussions on how to make homes more energy efficient, says the house's owner, Nina Woodcroft. 'We are new to the neighbourhood and it has been a really nice way to engage with our new community. A lot of delivery drivers will be like: 'What's this?', and we'll have a chat for 10 minutes about cork, you know, instead of just like this transactional, thank you, bye.' Woodcroft and her family moved into their home in south Tottenham, London, at the end of 2023 and it has now been nominated for a number of awards including Don't Move, Improve and RIBA London. The house was a 'leaky' 1970s property built originally as a clergy house. Woodcroft, who runs the design company Nina+Co, decided that instead of an extension they would design a renovation, with the help of architects ROAR, to transform it into an energy-efficient, fossil fuel-free, cosy family home. 'Our architect was saying that it was unusual the way we've decided to spend our budget. That most clients would be like, well let's do a loft conversion, let's add another floor or let's do a side return, but the motivator for us was to make what we have already future proof and really efficient,' says Woodcroft. After removing the gas supply entirely, Woodcroft and her team installed an air source heat pump in the front garden. To maximise the pump's efficiency the radiators downstairs were stripped out and replaced with underfloor heating. Sheep wool, wood fibre and a recycled plastic fleece, with cork granules, were used to insulate the home internally. The annual energy bill is about £1,088, significantly below the national average, with only electricity used. They chose dark expanded cork, an increasingly popular building material, to cover the exterior of the house because of its insulating properties, sustainability as a material, and aesthetic appeal. 'The way that it's manufactured is cork granules, bits of the bark of the cork oak tree are heated and pressed into a panel at the same time. Something is released called suberin, a natural substance as it's heated, which is what sticks those cork granules together. So there is no added binder. And that's what makes that product really natural,' says Woodcroft. The inside of the property, designed with running children in mind, is as thought through as the property's exterior, with joinery made from local and reclaimed timbers, kitchen countertops constructed from recycled plastic and a kitchen island formed from a London plane tree that was felled in Soho Square by Westminster council. 'I feel grounded and connected in this house because of the natural materials I think. It's warm underfoot, which my feet really appreciate. The house feels enveloping and calming, like a little retreat from the busy world outside,' says Woodcroft. The design company was born out of Woodcroft's frustration with the lack of care for the environmental impact of materials used in the design industry. The Cork House is the latest in a string of projects by Nina+Co to transform property interiors into sensual, textured spaces with a minimal environmental impact, such as the interiors for the restaurant Silo in Hackney Wick, east London, the world's first zero-waste restaurant and winner of a Michelin green star. The Silo design used offcuts of timber, foraged seaweed, mycelium (a biodegradable fungal material), and crushed glass bottles. Woodcroft says: 'I am kind of always thinking about what life this [material] is going to have next: a restaurant, a shop, a home … it will have a certain lifespan that's actually not very long in the grand scheme of things of the planet. And so I'm always trying to think what's the next life of this and how to retain longevity and value in something.' She hopes her renovation will inspire others to be more conscious of the types of materials used in property design and take small steps to make their homes more sustainable and energy efficient. 'I'm really up for sharing knowledge with people … Not everyone will have the financial resources to do a project like this, or the time and the energy because they're busy with work and just need to pick a floor … but if it can inspire just doing one little thing, swap out one material, that would be amazing.'
