It’s the final full week of October 2023, which means the Halloween season is winding down. But don’t worry. The new horror releases aren’t stopping on the road to the big day.

Here’s all the new horror releasing October 24 – October 29, 2023!

David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer has scared up over $100 million at the worldwide box office, and the film is now available at home beginning today.

From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, you can now rent The Exorcist: Believer on Digital platforms for $19.99, or you can purchase the film for $29.99.

50 years after the most terrifying horror film shocked the world, The Exorcist: Believer is a brand-new chapter in the saga, directly following on the groundbreaking original 1973 film.

Since his wife’s death, Victor (Leslie Odom Jr.) has raised his daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) alone.

An extraordinary piece of work which has drifted around the edges of the festival circuit this year getting more praise than opportunity, perhaps because it feels too dark and too overwhelming even to fit into most horror programming, Saturn Bowling is a serial killer story with a distinctly female gaze, and it’s devastating. With an immersive quality which recalls the early work of Michael Mann, it keys in to the ordinariness of certain kinds of horror and the ease with which they can take root in a society in which many men teeter on the edge of a moral abyss.

Overshadowed by the presence of a tyrannical father who has recently died, the film follows his two sons as they engage with what he has left behind. It opens with the younger one, Armand (Achille Reggiani), walking down the street at night eating a burger as he is approached and then.

Nightmare (Bowling) Alley: Mazuy Shocks with Disturbing Thriller

Every once in a while, a film comes along which conceptualizes brutality so shocking and vile it conjures a visceral reaction among the most desensitized of audience members. That it’s a moment contained in Saturn Bowling, the fifth film from singular French director Patricia Mazuy, heightens the shock value. Although more or less a familiar grisly serial killer thriller formatted with unexpected beats, Mazuy seems to be embarking on a new path of narrative fascination following her dark, masculine-centered drama Paul Sanchez is Back! (2018) also scripted by Yves Thomas, which similarly focused on a male antagonist.…...

There are few movies like Saturn Bowling. At least few good ones. Saturn Bowling spends its first half with the film's antagonist, before switching lanes to finally focus on the protagonist as he investigates the horrific crimes committed by the film's villain. This is by no means a spoiler, as the movie's antagonist is shady from the start. It's certainly not the only horror/thriller that puts the film's antagonist front and center; take American Psycho for instance. Like that film, Saturn Bowling succeeds by relentlessly exploring the dark heart of its antagonist at the forefront, captured in an incredible performance.

The French horror/thriller film is captivating. Its characters are instantly well established, and the plot is disturbingly fascinating. Similarly, the film sports great cinematography and brilliant music that immediately creates a tense, devastating, and downright haunted atmosphere that never eases up. Saturn Bowling is quite a tough watch at times.

Exclusive: Dark Star Pictures has snapped up North American rights to the Stephen King documentary King on Screen, examining cinematic adaptations of the iconic author’s works, out of EFM. The film from actress-turned-director Daphné Baiwir, which bears King’s stamp of approval, will hit theaters in late summer, with a digital release to follow in the fall.

King on Screen offers audiences an intimate sit-down with directors who have adapted King’s work for the screen, looking at the movies and shows that have brought his body of work an entirely new life — both the ones that reached the top-tier echelons of pop culture history and those that fell by the wayside into obscurity. Among those sitting down for interviews in the film, which world premiered at Fantastic Fest last year, are Frank Darabont, Mick Garris (ABC’s The Stand), Mike Flanagan and director and special makeup effects titan Greg Nicotero, to name a few.

King is, of course, a master of literary horror and of the bestselling authors of all time who has seen more than 80 features made based on his work. Next heading from his pages to the screen is the Rob Savage-directed horror-thriller The Boogeyman from 20th Century Studios and 21 Laps, which hits theaters on June 2nd. Among the most recent titles of his to have been picked up for adaptation is 2021’s Billy Summers, about a hitman set to take one last major job before retiring, which has landed at Warner Bros, as we told you first. Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz are penning the script, with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way to produce.

Producers on King on Screen included Sebastien Cruz for Les Films de la Plage, Jean-Yves Roubin for Frakas Productions and Zoe Salmon for Mr Salmon Films, with the participation of Ocs.

“Daphné has done a spectacular job of showcasing the talented filmmakers who brought the work of Stephen King to life in moving images,” said Dark Star Pictures President, Michael Repsch. “As a lifelong King fan, I could not be more excited to bring this film to audiences across North America and have it as a part of the Dark Star family.”

Recent releases from the L.A.-based distributor Dark Star Pictures include the WWII epic Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle, Shinzô Katayama’s crime drama Missing, and the Tribeca-premiering drama Petit Mal. Other upcoming releases from the company include the Tim Roth vehicle Punch, Fantasia Grand Jury winner Megalomaniac, and the serial killer thriller Saturn Bowling from French auteur Patricia Mazuy.

Repsch negotiated the King on Screen deal for Dark Star Pictures, with Hugues Barbier, Justin Timms and Joe Yanick for Yellow Veil Pictures on behalf of the filmmakers.

Dark Star Pictures has come on board to release Patricia Mazuy’s “Saturn Bowling” (“Bowling Saturne”) in the U.S.

The deal, brokered by Paris-based sales agent Totem Films, marks the first U.S. deal for a film by Mazuy, despite the filmmaker having received a retrospective at the Lincoln Center in 2019.

The pic is written by Yves Thomas and Mazuy. It is produced by Patrick Sobelman. The cast includes Arieh Worthalter, Achille Reggiani, Y Lan Lucas and Leila Muse.

“Bowling Saturne” follows police officer Guillaume, who inherits his family’s bowling business following his father’s death. He decides to give it to his troubled half-brother, Armand, but Guillaume is later distracted from his work in investigating a series of murders by his sibling’s unusual management of the business along with a team of hunters and an environmental activist.

Describing the film, Mazuy said: “The adventure of the...
