Not exactly a “horror movie” but 1989’s Last Exit to Brookyn is a study of horrible people doing horrible things. Based loosely on Huber Selby Jr.’s 1964 novel, this bleak study in brutality tells a story of Brooklyn’s savage underbelly. Directly by Uli Edel, it features some familiar faces including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Stephen Lang, Burt Young and Jerry Orbach among others.

It looks like 2025 is going to be the year of the Werewolf and we’re stoked about that! The first entry is Leigh Whannell’s reimagining of the WOLF MAN. We remember his reimagining of the Invisible Man in 2020, another attempt at reimagining a classic Universal Monster as well as his hits Saw and Insidious. This lean and mean production features the seasoned actors Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, playing a husband and wife dealing with the werewolf business as an infection as opposed to a curse.
