On the road to Super Bowl Sunday, which hopefully has some horror surprises in store, we’re being treated to TEN brand new horror movies this week, all of them available at home.
And none of them are sequels. None of them are remakes. If you’re looking for original horror movies, this week is loaded up with them. So be sure to mark these on your calendar.
Here’s all the new horror releasing February 7-13, 2022!
First up we have Student Body, a new teen slasher movie that co-stars Harley Quinn Smith and introduces a slasher maniac who wears a giant mascot mask over his head.
Releasing on VOD platforms February 8 from 1091 Pictures, “Student Body follows a group of students at a prestigious high school where a teacher oversteps his bounds and the teens are forced to take matters into their own hands, with deadly consequences.”
Written and directed by Lee Ann Kurr, the slasher movie also stars Montse Hernandez, Cheyenne Haynes, Austin Zajur, Anthony Keyvan and Christian Camargo.
Also on Tuesday, Shout! Studios, Scream Factory, and The Yellow Affair bite into Rose: A Love Story, a vampire movie that’s headed to digital platforms.
Directed by Jennifer Sheridan and written by Matt Stokoe, Rose: A Love Story is the story of a young couple living alone in the woods, who must contend with a life-altering illness that manifests itself in a violent and terrifying way.
“Rose’s disease is a vampiric, parasitic thirst for blood. As her hunger grows, all humanity seems to give way to a feral violence that harms both her and those around her. Their loving relationship strains under the burden of Rose’s illness, and it is only a matter of time until the secluded life that they have built is upended entirely.”
The film stars Matt Stokoe (Cursed, Jamestown, Misfits), Sophie Rundle (Peaky Blinders, Jamestown, Bodyguard) and Olive Gray (Halo, Year Million, Half Moon Investigations).
!['Alone With You' Clip: Thing Get Weird With Barbara Crampton [Exclusive]](https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-26-at-8.10.10-AM.png?ssl=1)
Tuesday’s new indie horror rolls on with Alone With You. Written and directed by Emily Bennett & Justin Brooks, Dark Star’s new movie features horror icon Barbara Crampton.
In Alone With You, “As a young woman painstakingly prepares a romantic homecoming for her girlfriend, their apartment begins to feel more like a tomb when voices, shadows, and hallucinations reveal a truth she has been unwilling to face.”
Emily Bennett also stars with Emma Myles and Bliss favorite Dora Madison.
Uncork’d Entertainment will release supernatural horror film Exorcist Vengeance on Tuesday, starring internationally recognized action star and Charles Bronson lookalike Robert Bronzi (Death Kiss, The Gardener) and actor Steven Berkoff (Rambo: First Blood Part II).
“The film tells of a tough priest (Bronzi), someone the Vatican calls to do their dirty work. When a prominent family is terrorized by a demonic force, the priest is called upon by Bishop Canelo (Berkoff) to root out the evil, but he soon realizes the solution to this mystery is tied to his own past. He must find the killer and stop the Devil’s hold on the family before it’s too late.”
The film is said to blend The Exorcist, Death Wish and… Knives Out?!
The final new horror release for this Tuesday is Alter Ego, headed to On Demand platforms from Indican Pictures. Eric Roberts and Dylan Walsh from “Nip/Tuck” star in this one.
“Detective DiBiasse (Oscar® nominee Eric Roberts, Runaway Train) arrives at his last crime scene, the mansion of a wealthy, yet paranoid recluse named Alan Schaeffer (Dylan Walsh, FX’s “Nip/Tuck”). As Detective Dibiasse is accompanied by a new detective, he soon begins to weave together the strange story of Alan Schaeffer, a once renowned author of a best selling serial killer book series, who now vehemently insists that one of his creations is trying to kill him. Surrounded by security who reportedly see nothing, no one can help Alan Schaeffer as the police move on without a second thought. Yet, shortly after, Detective Dibiasse is summoned back to the mansion and is met with a horrible, brutal crime and not a suspect in sight.”
From director, writer and producer Ezio Massa (5 A.M.), the film festival hit also stars Steven Stanulis (5th Borough), Deborah Twiss (Kick-Ass) and Rodrigo Guirao Díaz (Dead End).
We jump to Thursday, February 10th for these next three releases, the first of which is Steven Soderbergh‘s brand new psychological thriller KIMI, which stars Zoë Kravitz.
The film will be streaming exclusively on HBO Max February 10.
“The film’s title refers to a fictitious Alexa/Siri-like voice-activated digital assistant called KIMI. It hears everything you say all the time, recording everything for a Big Brother-like corporation. Kravitz plays Angela Childs, a voice stream interpreter who overhears a murder on a recording she was analyzing. Angela is shaken after reaching out to her colleagues. Why are her employers resistant to her trying to bring this to the authorities’ attention?”
David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Snake Eyes, Panic Room, Stir of Echoes, and You Should Have Left) wrote the script for KIMI. You can check out the official trailer below.
Next up we have Shapeless, coming to VOD platforms February 10. The Samantha Aldana-directed indie made its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last year.
The film follows Ivy, a struggling singer in New Orleans who is trapped in the hidden underworld of her eating disorder and must face her addiction – or risk becoming a monster.
Kelly Murtagh, Bobby Gilchrist, Jamie Neumann, Marco Dapper, Erika Ashley, Gralen Bryant Banks, and Zardis Nichols star in Shapeless, coming from XYZ Films.
The final new release for Thursday, February 10 is the vampire movie All the Moons, a Shudder Original that looks to tell a coming-of-age tale with a blood-sucking twist.
Directed by Basque filmmaker Igor Legarreta (When You No Longer Love Me), All the Moons won several awards at the 25th Edition of The Fantasia International Film Festival.
In All the Moons, “North of Spain, at the end of the 19th century, during the final throes of the last Carlist war, a little girl is rescued from an orphanage by a mysterious woman after it’s destroyed by a bomb. Wounded and close to death, the girl believes the woman is an angel coming to take her to Heaven. Soon, however, she discovers that this strange being has given her the gift of eternal life by turning her into a vampire.”
All the Moons stars Haizea Carneros, Josean Bengoetxea, and Itziar Ituño.
That brings us to Friday, February 11th, which has a few more treats in store. For starters, Those Who Walk Away will introduce a brand new horror villain named the “Rotcreep.”
VMI’s Those Who Walk Away follows Max and Avery (Booboo Stewart and Scarlett Sperduto) on their first date. After meeting on a social media app, their evening takes a perilous turn when they end up at a local haunted house, the home of ‘Rotcreep’, a sinister creature that rots your body and soul with one touch.
As the night turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse Max and Avery begin to realize the trauma they share may either save them or erupt into an unforgettable nightmare.
Written and directed by Robert Rippberger (Public Enemy Number One, 7 Days in Syria), Those Who Walk Away was “filmed in a series of long continuous takes.”
Jefferson Moneo‘s UFO cult thriller Cosmic Dawn will also release on Friday, February 10, coming to select theaters as well as at-home On Demand platforms.
Emmanuelle Chriqui (“Entourage”) and model Camille Rowe star.
Rowe is Aurora, a young woman who joins the UFO cult ‘The Cosmic Dawn‘ to help understand her own mother’s alien abduction that she witnessed as a child. Lured in by mysterious book store owner Natalie (Chriqui), Aurora starts to realize that the cult, as cults usually are, has more of a sinister agenda.
Writer/director Moneo says that he based the film off his own extraterrestrial encounter as a child, the press release had explained. “The film is an intense, colorful look at this strange community, floating on the borders between thriller, horror, and sci-fi.”
The final treat for this week is Shudder’s Valentine’s Day special Joe Bob’s Heartbreak Trailer Park, a double feature of horror movies coming to Shudder this Friday at 9pm EST.
Joe Bob Briggs will be joined by FOUR special guests for a double feature of two unique films that explore the heartbreaking and horrifying side of Valentine’s Day.
“Two movies about deranged passion” are on tap, Joe Bob teases.
