Movies & TV Watchlist Here Are All the Genre Movies Premiering in November! Find everything from sci-fi action to musical fantasy in theaters this November! By Petrana Radulovic | Published on October 30, 2025 Comment 0 Share New Share There is a lot of entertainment out there these days, and a lot of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror titles to parse through. So we’re rounding up the genre movies coming out each month.  A new Osgood Perkins and a horror movie with Biblical origins prove that spooky season isn’t over. There’s also a new Predator movie, this time with a sassy synth and predator team up. And for the musical theater fans out there, Wicked: For Good hits theaters at the end of the month.  Predator: Badlands — in theaters November 7 The newest installment in the Predator franchise follows Dek, a young Predator who journeys to a dangerous remote planet to complete his first hunt. The stakes are high, since Dek is basically seen as an outcast for being the runt of his clan. He finds an unlikely ally in Thia, a damaged synth missing the lower part of her body, and they team up to take down a highly dangerous monster.  In Your Dreams — in select theaters November 7, on Netflix November 14 Stevie and her little brother Elliot travel to the world of dreams with one mission: find the Sandman and make their dream of saving their parents’ marriage come true. But the world of dreams is full of impossible obstacles, including several nightmares come to life. And in order to find the Sandman, they must face off against Nightmara, bringer of nightmares.  Keeper — in theaters November 14  Horror director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs, The Monkey) is back again with another surreal scary movie. A couple named Liz and Malcolm head to an isolated cabin for an anniversary weekend. But when Malcolm unexpectedly returns to the city, Liz is left alone. She starts to discover the cabin’s dark secrets and eventually has to face off against the evil entity within.  Eternity — in theaters November 14  Elizabeth Olsen stars as Joan, a woman who has recently died and entered the afterlife. But when she arrives, she learns she has a week to choose which of her two dead husbands to spend eternity with: Larry, the one she spent most of her life and built a family together with, or Luke, her first love who died in a war and she never got to grow old with.  Arco — in theaters November 14  In the near future year of 2075, a young girl named Iris sees a rainbow streak through the sky and a young boy fall to the ground. It turns out, his name is Arco and he’s accidentally time-traveled from the year 2932. The two children strike up a deep friendship and team up with Iris’s robot caretaker to find a way to send Arco home. But they also realize that the fate of the planet is in both their hands.  The Carpenter’s Son — in theaters November 14  The Carpenter’s Son takes place in a remote village in Roman Empire-era Egypt, where a carpenter, his wife, and their son are targeted by strange supernatural forces. The family has constantly been on the run due to their son’s own strange powers. And yes, it is heavily implied that the nameless boy in the movie is Jesus. The movie itself is based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, a section of biblical writings not part of the Christian canon.  Indecipherable — in theaters November 15 True to its name, not much is known about this indie horror movie, except for the fact that it’s about a boy trapped alone in his house at night. Slowly, he starts losing himself in his thoughts and the world gets creepier and creeper. Wicked: For Good — in theaters November 21  Did Wicked need to be broken into two parts? I had my doubts, but after the sheer euphoria of part one, I am ready and set for part two. For Good follows the second act of the Broadway musical, when Elphaba is on the run and Glinda is dealing with the ramifications of being a figurehead for an increasingly fascist state. The main plot of The Wizard of Oz also takes place during this act, and we’ll get to see how things unfolded from the “Wicked” Witch’s point of view.  Altered — in theaters November 21  Altered takes place in an alternate future where genetically enhanced humans rule as the upper class of society. Two outcasts take on corrupt politicians in order to fight the status quo and challenge the oppressive system that exploits regular humans.  Zootopia 2 — in theaters November 26 Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde end up in couple’s cop partner therapy after experiencing some frustrations with their new police partnership. But they must put aside their differences and team up to track a snake through Zootopia. Eventually they find a secret reptile population of the city, living as a hidden underclass. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery — in theaters November 26 Daniel Craig’s smooth-talking, well-dressed detective Benoit Blanc is back—and this time, he’s investigating the impossible murder of a super popular Catholic priest. As Blanc dives deeper into the mystery, he starts to uncover a tangled web of secrets interlinking the priest’s devoted and devout congregation. As with the first two movies, director Rian Johnson brings together an all-star cast, including Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner.

News Scream 7 Trailer for Scream 7 Doesn’t Even Begin to Explain How All Those Dead Characters Are Coming Back But Ghostface is adding arson to his (his?) list of crimes By Molly Templeton | Published on October 30, 2025 Screenshot: Paramount Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Paramount Pictures The trailer for Scream 7—thankfully not just named Scream Again or something else deeply confusing—has two parts: First, some random people get murdered in a “psycho killer B&B,” and second, poor Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) tries to keep a Ghostface killer away from her daughter Tatum (Isabel May). She’s clearly got a plan for this, though parts of that plan are lacking (the totally stabbable secret hallway, for one). But neither of these bits explain how a handful of dead characters are returning in this movie—a list that includes poor dead Dewey Riley (David Arquette) and two guys who are rather less mournable: Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) and Roman Bridger (Scott Foley). (Only dead men have been confirmed so far.) I have questions. Is Sidney just going to have flashbacks? Watch old home movies of her departed friends? What with the thematically relevant B&B and Sidney’s obvious familiarity with people making annoying (though not generally deadly) calls to her cell, this Scream is clearly just as meta about its own self as the movies were in the ’90s. So how’s it all gonna work? Inquiring minds will get no answers here. But it is always nice to watch Sidney get angry, even if one wishes the poor woman could just catch a break—and to see Gail Weathers (Courteney Cox) again. Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown also return from previous bouts of screaming. Joining the host of dead guys and traumatized women in this film are Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Asa Germann, Ethan Embry, and Joel McHale (the latter playing Sidney’s presumably doomed husband). Scream 7 is directed by original Scream writer Kevin Williamson. The script is by Gary Busick (Scream redux, Scream 6) and James Vanderbilt (who co-wrote the previous two films with Busick, and is also one of the nine people credited with writing Independence Day: Resurgence). The screaming begins in theaters on February 27th, 2026.[end-mark] The post Trailer for <i>Scream 7</i> Doesn’t Even Begin to Explain How All Those Dead Characters Are Coming Back appeared first on Reactor.

Movies & TV Spooky Season How To Survive a Slasher Movie How do we survive this world of carnage? By following a few simple rules… By Sarah | Published on October 30, 2025 Credit: Trancas International Films Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Trancas International Films Since we started telling stories, a disproportionate number of them seem to be about killing each other, a trend which got refined to its essence in slasher movies and serial killer books… Slasher movies started in 1974 with the release of Black Christmas and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre—although you could follow their lineage all the way back to 1932’s 13 Women, in which Myrna Loy uses astrology to murder the sorority sisters who publicly exposed her biracial background. Halloween (1978) established the essential slasher template, but it was the release of Friday the 13th (1980) that kicked the genre into overdrive. After F13, slashers multiplied in a kaleidoscopic array of killers and their slaygrounds, and suddenly going anywhere or doing anything became totally impractical, in terms of potential murder. If you went on vacation, you’d die (Welcome to Spring Break aka Nightmare Beach); if you stayed home, you’d die (Don’t Go in the House); if you went to the supermarket, you’d die (Intruder); if you went to camp, you’d die (Sleepaway Camp); if you went to high school, you’d die (Student Bodies); if you went to boarding school, you’d die (Halloween: H20); if you moved off the grid, you’d die (American Gothic)… essentially anything you did made you a potential victim. So how do we survive this world of carnage? By following a few simple rules. Rule #1 — Don’t make friends. From Prom Night (Credit: Simcom Productions) Everyone needs a friend, but if you don’t want to be murdered it’s best not to have them. Friends get you to do things like sneak into a mall after hours where you’ll probably be murdered by the security robots (Chopping Mall), or sneak into a carnival after hours where you’ll probably be murdered by the owner’s deformed monster son (The Funhouse), or go camping where you’ll definitely be murdered by any number of people, (Rituals, The Final Terror, The Prey, Just Before Dawn). Friends will invite you for trips on their yacht (Humungous), to visit a time share on the ski slopes (Iced), or to a costume ball (Masque of the Red Death). Sounds fun? You’ll die. Friends like to play pranks on each other, which inevitably go wrong. Maybe they put a corpse in your bed and trick you into making out with it, or maybe they mischievously push you out a window to your death, or lure you into a bathroom for sex, give you a laced joint, then accidentally douse you with acid leaving you disfigured. Sure, it’s all a good laugh, but now you’re going to have to return years later and murder every single one of them (Terror Train, Prom Night, Slaughter High). Friends: either they’ll kill you, or you’ll kill them. It’s better to go without. Rule #2 — Don’t go to summer camp. From Cheerleader Camp (Credit: Prism Entertainment) Duh, we know this. No, for real. Even though only three Friday the 13th movies actually take place at a summer camp, those places are still super dangerous. Summer camp is for babies. I go to cheerleader camp. That’s totally different. Nope, that’s worse. See: Cheerleader Camp. You can’t even work at a summer camp or you’ll get pranked by the kids and wind up killing everyone (The Burning), or you’ll go to counselor training and get killed by a deformed monster son (Moonstalker). Fine. There’s also Madman, Twisted Nightmare, Sleepaway Camp, Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers, Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland, Return to Sleepaway Camp… OKAY FINE …Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor… Rule #3 — Drop out of school. From Pandemonium (Credit: United Artists) By sixth grade we can read and write, do long division, and play the recorder. What else do you need? If you’re smart, you’ll drop out then and there. Because if you want to do trig, or AP American History, or talk about the symbolism in The Great Gatsby, you’re going to wind up dead. Whether it’s straightforward public school like Central High (Massacre at Central High) or Crawford Academy, Montreal’s elite academic institution (Happy Birthday To Me), if you go to high school you will die. Boarding school is not a loophole (To All a Good Night). If you manage to make it through high school alive and then choose to go to college, you deserve what’s coming to you. Whether you’re attending night school (Night School), a rural midwestern college (Pandemonium), or a big city college (Pieces), it doesn’t matter. You will die. If you think participating in Greek life will offer you safety in numbers I laugh at your logic (13 Women, Sisters of Death, Hell Night, House on Sorority Row, Sorority House Massacre, Rush Week, Sorority House Massacre 2, Happy Hell Night). If by some miracle you actually do graduate from college, do not attend your class reunion unless you want to get impaled and blowtorched by a guy dressed as a magician (Class Reunion Massacre). Do not even get me started on medical school. Rule #4 — Avoid sports. From Fatal Games (Credit: Impact Films) Football causes concussions, long distance running makes your nipples bleed, javelins are obviously lethal (Fatal Games), but even footballs can impale you (Prom Night 3), pole vaulting pits are full of spikes (Graduation Day), bowling pins can stab (Gutterballs), weight machines will crush you (Death Spa), and even trophies are deadly (Fatal Games, again). Not even cheerleaders are safe, especially if they have a mascot in the squad (Girls Nite Out, Cheerleader Camp). Rule #5 — Avoid monkeys. From Monkey Shines (Credit: Orion Pictures) Kind of a curve ball, I know, but monkeys are really dangerous. If you are paralyzed from the neck down and they offer you a helper monkey, I would strongly advise you watch Monkey Shines first so you know what to do when it falls in love with you and murders absolutely everyone in your life. And remember what I said about medical school? That’s where you’ll run into a hamadryas baboon like Shakma who will stalk every every single person in your class and rip their heads off. But here’s the thing about surviving a slasher—ultimately, you can’t. Death will always find you in the end. You can run, you can bang on doors for help, you can hide in attics, you can seek safety with your friends, but it’s coming. It’s slow, but it’s unstoppable, and no matter how far or how fast you go, when you turn around it’s right there on your heels, waiting. Whether it’s an illness or an accident, a sequel, or a power drill, death is coming for you and there’s nothing any of us can do about it. We think of slashers as comforting ’80s nostalgia, but even Ingmar Bergman never confronted the raw, unvarnished facts of mortality like this…[end-mark] Buy the Book Final Girl Support Group Grady Hendrix They made it through the worst night of their lives… but what happens after?

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, this week released more FBI files related to the surveillance of Republican organizations and persons by then-special counsel Jack Smith. The new information provided by Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also prompted a renewed call for Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to be impeached. In particular, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, denounced the federal judge for signing a gag order preventing AT&T from letting the Texas lawmaker know that his cellphone records had been sought by Smith for at least a year. “If a judge signs an order reaching a factual conclusion for which there is zero evidence whatsoever, that judge is abusing his power,” Cruz said at the press conference, adding: “I am right now calling on the House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boasberg.” Smith and his team issued 197 subpoenas as part of his investigation into President Donald Trump related to his challenges of the fairness of the 2020 presidential election and the handling of classified documents. The subpoenas covered information related to media communications with CBS, Fox News, and Newsmax and White House officials such as Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner, among many others. Grassley had previously released information indicating that the FBI under President Joe Biden had sought the tolling data—encompassing the time, duration, and call numbers—from Jan. 4 through Jan. 7, 2021, of several Republican senators. Smith ultimately filed to have his charges dropped after Trump won reelection in November 2024. According to Grassley’s office, Smith’s investigation began at the FBI during the Biden administration with the codename “Arctic Frost.” “Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. Contrary to what [Jack] Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition,” the Iowa senator said at the press conference.  The subpoenas, sent to 34 separate people and 163 businesses, were given to the Senate Judiciary chairman through whistleblower disclosures. “Judge James E. Boasberg, that radical leftist judge who is out of control, who has been issuing nationwide injunctions one after the other trying to stop President Trump from carrying out his mandate for the voters,” Cruz said, alluding to complaints over the federal judge’s handling of the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens.  Federal Judge James Boasberg, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Drew Angerer/AFP via Getty Images) In March, Boasberg blocked the president’s employment of wartime powers to deport suspected Tren de Aragua gang members to an El Salvadoran prison. That court order came despite calls for the judge to recuse himself over a potential conflict of interest. “Given that [Boasberg’s] daughter works directly for an organization that supports illegal aliens, opposes deportation of aliens, and has voiced its support for Boasberg’s action in this very case, the impartiality of his judgment is obviously open to be reasonably questioned,” Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, explained to the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Daily Signal has reached out to representatives of both Boasberg and Smith for comment.
