We’re being spoilt in 2025, Grimmlins!
The temperature climbing is usually a sign that before long big-budget blockbusters will be landing in our local cinemas and that’s no different this year, but we also have quite a few horrors getting wide releases.
Join your pal The Reaper as I cast a hollow eye socket over 5 of the biggest horrors coming our way in summer 2025…
FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES (14th May)
The 6th entry in the gloriously gory FD series sees a premonition from decades ago cause repercussions for a family and features the final Bludworth performance from the late, great Tony Todd.
What’s your FD ranking? I gotta go 2, 1, 3, 5, 4.
28 YEARS LATER (20th June)
Man this looks intense! Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reunite for the first in a new trilogy, with second entry 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE already confirmed for next year. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’ Connell lead a stacked cast for this one.
MEGAN 2.0 (27th June)
The bitch is back and she’s gone full “Arnie in T2”, as the killer doll is repurposed to save us from a new deadlier threat. This looks a lot of fun, and the concept ensures we’re not just getting the first film all over again.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (18th July)
The Fisherman returns! Teens do something naughty one summer and the following year, when they start getting targeted by a fishing guy with a hook, they turn to Freddie Prinze Jr and Jennifer Love Hewitt for help because they have previous. I’m intrigued to see who’s under all that gear and what the connection is, as it seems random those guys would pop back up after 20 years no?
WEAPONS (8th August)
Zach Cregger’s follow-up to BARBARIAN looks absolutely demented, as an entire classroom of children leave their beds one night and never return. Where have they gone? Why did they leave? The trailer gives nothing away, which is how it should be! Julia Garner and Josh Brolin are among the adults trying to solve the mystery.
This is just scratching the surface!
What are you most excited to see?
