2025 was a remarkable year for horror enthusiasts, highlighted by both films and television series. The standout horror series that captivated audiences was IT: Welcome to Derry, a prequel inspired by Stephen King, which has already been renewed for a second season. Fans of the genre also celebrated a new cinematic achievement from director Zach Cregger, Weapons, which made headlines when Amy Madigan received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Cregger is set to return to the horror genre later this year with his upcoming Resident Evil film, and following the success of the latest Resident Evil game, <em>Requiem</em>, it stands as one of the most eagerly awaited projects of the year. Additionally, Sinners, a vampire horror film directed by Ryan Coogler and featuring Michael B. Jordan, also made waves at the Oscars, reinforcing that horror as a genre is fully capable of dominating the Academy Awards.
A standout yet often overlooked horror project that has emerged recently is Exit 8, a Japanese body horror film that has already garnered over $4 million in box office revenue despite its limited screenings. The film boasts impressive ratings of 93% from critics and 86% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is steadily gaining a larger audience each day. Collider is excited to partner with Exit 8‘s distributor, Neon, to exclusively announce that the film is now available for rent or purchase on VOD platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. It will also be released on Blu-ray this summer, starting August 4, which will include bonus interviews and a special making-of featurette. The cast of Exit 8 includes Kazunari Ninomiya (Letters from Iwo Jima), Yamato Kochi, Naru Asanuma, Kotone Hanase, and Nana Komatsu.

You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role?
Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn’t.
AThe one who says ‘we need to leave’ first—and means it even when no one listens.
BThe one who stays quiet watches others and figures out patterns before anyone else does.
CThe one who holds group together when panic sets in—because someone has to.
DThe one who asks questions nobody wants to ask—because ignoring them gets people killed.
EThe one who takes threats seriously when everyone else is laughing it off.
