When? October 8, 2021

To our surprise, Lamb is not a cooking show but instead the story of a childless couple in rural Iceland who discover a strange and unnatural

Where? Netflix

In this Netflix original, a college student moonlighting as a chauffeur picks up two mysterious women for a night of party-hopping across LA, but when he uncovers their bloodthirsty intentions and their dangerous, shadowy underworld he must fight to stay alive. This sounds a little like Knock Knock, to us. Antlers (Image credit: Searchlight Pictures)

When? October 29, 2021

Where? Theaters

In Antlers, a mysterious creature escapes from its confines to wreak bloody havoc in a small Oregon town. Dont let the title fool you, though we dont reckon that creature is a doe-eyed deer. Master of the weird Guillermo del Toro is producing this one, so its worth looking out for. Last Night in Soho (Image credit: Focus Features)

When? October 29, 2021

Where? Theaters

Edgar Wrights first movie since Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho follows the twisted dreams of an aspiring fashion designer (Thomasin McKenzie) as she navigates the mysterious glamor of the 1960s.

When? March 4, 2022

Where? Paramount Plus

In a rare case of a movies release being brought forward (from a planned
March 2022 date), Paranormal Activity 7 is heading to Paramount Plus as an unexpected reimagining of the beloved horror franchise, according to
ViacomCBS streaming bosses. A reimagining? Maybe. But unexpected? Not at all. Expect more of the series customary handheld horror. Resident Evil: Welcome
to Raccoon City (Image credit: Sony Pictures)

When? November 24, 2021 (US), 3 December, 2021 (UK)

Where? Theaters

Yes, the long-running movie franchise based on the even-longer-running videogame franchise is getting a reboot. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will see 47 Meters Down director Johannes Roberts marshal the survival horror carnage, with The Maze Runner's Kaya Scodelario starring as Claire Redfield. The Tomorrow People's Robbie Amell and Ant-Man and the Wasp's
Hannah John-Kamen also feature.It looks a lot closer to the games than the previous movies did, which is hopefully to its benefit. Texas Chainsaw Massacre A still from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974 (Image credit: Bryanston Distributing Company)

When? TBA, late 2021

Where? Netflix

Theres not much to go on for this one, but Texas Chainsaw Massacre is returning as a Netflix movie directed by David Blue Garcia, based on an original story co-written by Fede lvarez and Rodolfo Sayagues (both known for their work on Evil Dead and Don't Breathe). It will represent the ninth instalment in the franchise, and is intended to be a direct sequel to the
1974 original. Jeepers Creepers: Reborn A still from Jeepers Creepers, 2001 (Image credit: MGM)

When? TBA, late 2021

Where? Theaters

Another reboot though perhaps from a less well-known horror franchise is hitting theatres in 2021 in the form of Jeepers Creepers: Reborn. Its being directed by Timo Vuorensola from a screenplay by Sean Michael Argo, and is intended as the first in a planned trilogy set apart from the first three movies of director Victor Salva.

When? January 14, 2022

Where? Theaters

Moving into 2022, Scream will see Ready or Not directors Matt
Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett breathe (or scream?) new life into the long-running horror franchise. Though marketed without the numerical title, the movie will be a direct sequel to 2011's Scream 4, and the first in the series not to be directed by Wes Craven, who died in 2015.

When? January 28, 2022

Where? Theaters

Marvel fans, fear not horror cinema has not left you behind. Morbius will
see Jared Letos titular biochemist forced to face the consequences of a blood experiment gone wrong, which infects him with a vampiric mutation. Our hopes arent too high for this one, but Venom fans might find something to enjoy here. The Black Phone (Image credit: Universal Pictures)

When? January 28, 2022

Where? Theatres

Wow, an entirely new IP? Not exactly. The Black Phone will see director Scott Derrickson adapt a 2004 short story of the same name by Joe Hill, which follows the plight of a kidnapped child who communicates through, you
guessed it, a black phone with his kidnappers previous victims to try and escape. Sounds like a neat premise, at least. Nope (Image credit: Universal Pictures)

When? July 22, 2022

Where? Theatres

Get Out and Us director Jordan Peeles next movie will star Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, and Steven Yeun, and is scheduled to hit theatres in July. Do we know anything more than that? Nope. Weve got a poster, at least, which shows
a floating cloud. Make of that what you will. Halloween Ends (Image credit: Miramax)

When? October 14, 2022

Where? Theaters

A direct sequel to the aforementioned Halloween Kills which is scheduled to arrive on October 15, 2021 Halloween Ends will (supposedly) end the long-running franchise almost exactly a year later. We expect Michael Myers and Laurie Strode to both return, though, which begs the question: what will actually happen in Halloween Kills? Expect some near-misses and a
cliff-hanger ending. Hellraiser A still from Hellraiser, 1987 (Image credit: Future Features)

When? TBA, 2022

Where? Hulu

One movie we didnt expect to get a reboot in 2022 was Clive Barkers 1987 British supernatural horror, Hellraiser. This updated version will again be based on Barker's novella, The Hellbound Heart, and its existing film adaptation, so will almost definitely see the return of Pinhead and his group of sadomasochistic beings known as the Cenobites. Skull A still from
Predator, 1987 (Image credit: 20th Century Fox)

When? TBA, 2022

Where? Theaters

Expected to be the fifth instalment of, and prequel to, the Predator franchise, Skull will follow the creature's first journey to Earth. 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg has signed on to direct, while Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers and Dane DiLiegro are all confirmed to star. No Arnie, though, unfortunately. Evil Dead Rise (Image credit: Warner Bros.)

When? TBA, 2022

Where? Theaters, HBO Max

One more reboot? Sure, why not. Evil Dead Rise will become the fifth instalment in the Evil Dead franchise, and will follow two sisters trying to survive and save their family from demonic creatures. Alyssa Sutherland, Lily Sullivan, Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher and Mia Challis are
all confirmed to star, while Spider-Man director Sam Raimi will serve as executive producer alongside Irish filmmaker Lee Cronin. These are the best Netflix movies you can watch right now
