Georgina Campbell Headlines Gavin Polone’s Gore-Soaked Debut Psycho Killer

THR critic Frank Scheck reviews Psycho Killer, Gavin Polone’s directorial debut about a highway patrolwoman (Georgina Campbell) tracking a brutal ‘Satanic Slasher’ as Malcolm McDowell leads a murderous cult; Campbell delivers a standout, resourceful performance, but the screenplay is hammy and the finale veers into camp, leaving the film uneven despite its gore and atmosphere. Release date 02/20/2026; runtime 1h32; rated R; produced by 20th Century Studios, New Regency, Constantin Film; screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker.

Raimi's Send Help Aims to Lead a Quiet Box Office Weekend

Sam Raimi’s Send Help is forecast to open around $9–12 million and lead a soft weekend, buoyed by strong critical/audience reception and star power (Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien). Iron Lung from Markiplier Studios is expected to debut at about $6–9 million, with a front-loaded performance likely to fade quickly. Lionsgate’s The Strangers – Chapter 3 targets $5–8 million as the weekend’s major new release, though it faces diminishing returns. Overall, the frame looks weak with limited high-profile competition.

Paranormasight Sequel Brings Mermaid's Curse to Switch This February

Nintendo Life reports that Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse, a sequel to Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo, is coming to Nintendo Switch on February 19, 2026. The follow-up sticks with the original visual novel framework but adds twists, with writer Takanari Ishiyama returning alongside the first game's artist and composer. If you haven’t tried the first game, our full review calls it a standout, and this sequel should offer more of that eerie, story-driven intrigue.

Iron Lung: When YouTube Buzz Meets Slow-Burn Horror

Iron Lung: When YouTube Buzz Meets Slow-Burn Horror

Markiplier’s self-financed feature Iron Lung, adapted from the 2022 game, has broken into mainstream attention with about $18 million in its opening weekend, driven largely by his massive YouTube following. The film largely plays as a claustrophobic two-hour largely single-actor experience, with the final 20 minutes delivering the most engagement thanks to practical effects and gross-out visuals. Critics acknowledge the visuals exceed expectations for a $3 million budget, but many find the film slow and opaque for non-fans, making Iron Lung a notable but atypical example of a creator-driven indie horror surge rather than a reliable predictor for cinema’s future.

The Perfect Pencil Delivers a Dreamlike, Twisted Metroidvania Experience

The Perfect Pencil for Switch is a surreal, horror-tinged metroidvania that follows John through a dreamlike, labyrinthine world. It emphasizes exploration, side quests, and upgrading a projector-based attack, with creepy characters, Burtonesque bosses, and a quirky Camera Obscura mechanic that helps navigation. While combat exists, the game isn’t punishingly tough and shines in art direction and atmosphere; however, it can be dense and features long backtracking. Overall, it’s a distinctive, smooth-running addition to the Switch’s Metroidvania lineup with a memorable, eerie vibe.

McAdams Delivers Sharp Comedy on a Desert Island in Send Help

In Sam Raimi’s Send Help, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien star as feuding coworkers stranded on a desert island; Sonia Rao’s Washington Post review celebrates McAdams’s sharp, boundary-pushing performance that elevates the film beyond her Regina George turn, even as the tonal balance between island misadventure and workplace bite keeps the movie uneven.
