This week brings the return of Netflix’s Fear Street movie franchise and the debut of Until Dawn at home, along with a new Shudder Original horror movie… and that’s only the start.
Here’s all the new horror that released from May 19 – May 23, 2025!
Felipe Vargas (Milk Teeth) makes his feature directorial debut with the horror movie Rosario, which was released in theaters earlier this month. The film debuted at home this week.
You can rent Rosario on Digital for $19.99 or purchase it for $24.99.
Alan Trezza (We Summon the Darkness, Burying the Ex) wrote the film, which explores the weight of generational secrets and the price we pay for the dreams we inherit.
Emeraude Toubia (“Shadowhunters”) and David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) star.
“Wall Street stockbroker Rosario returns to her grandmother’s apartment after her sudden death. While sorting through her Grandmother’s belongings, Rosario uncovers a horrifying secret—a hidden chamber filled with occult artifacts tied to dark generational rituals.
“As supernatural occurrences plague her, Rosario must confront her family’s buried secrets and face the truth about the sacrifices and choices they made.”
Paul Ben-Victor (“The Wire”), José Zúñiga (Constaine), Diana Lein (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Emilia Faucher (Snow White), and Guillermo García (“Mayans M.C.”) round out the horror movie’s cast. Shot on location in Bogotá, Colombia and New York City, Rosario is produced by Silk Mass’ Jon Silk and Mucho Mas’ Javier Chapa and Phillip Braun.
Judgment has a name… Mauler. The religious slasher is now available on VOD.
In Mauler, “Desperate for cash, five friends sign up for a $25K dark web contest inside a haunted murder house. But when they face off against a 7-foot-tall religious maniac with a sledgehammer, it’s no longer about the money—it’s a fight for survival.”
Terence Bernie Hines (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) wrote and directed.
Kate Noel, Skyylar Perdomo, Sebastian Betancur, Sarah Siverson, Jayden Stith, Tanya Champoux (1922), and Breck Cuddy star in the new indie slasher movie.
Based on the same-titled book from R.L. Stine, teen slasher Fear Street: Prom Queen, the fourth installment in the streaming franchise, is now streaming on Netflix.
In the ’80s-set slasher movie, “Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway, and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”
Ella Rubin (Until Dawn), India Fowler (“The Agency”), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket), Fina Strazza (“Paper Girls”), Chris Klein (American Pie), David Iacono (“Dead Boy Detectives”), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Lili Taylor (The Conjuring), and Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant) star.
Matt Palmer (Calibre) directs from a script he co-wrote with Donald McLeary.
One month after the film arrived in theaters, David F. Sandberg’s big screen adaptation of the video game Until Dawn has been released on Digital at home by Sony this morning.
You can rent Until Dawn on Digital now for $19.99 or purchase the film for $24.99.
From director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam) and writer Gary Dauberman (It, The Nun), Until Dawn made just under $50 million at the box office.
“One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening.
“Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again – only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last.
“Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.”
The video game adaptation’s cast includes Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Michael Cimino (“Never Have I Ever”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”), Odessa A’zion (Hulu’s Hellraiser), Peter Stormare (Clown, John Wick 2), Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli.
Blair Butler (The Invitation) wrote the original draft, and Gary Dauberman (Salem’s Lot) worked on the script. The film is said to be “an R-rated love letter to the horror genre.”
Grief gets a gnarly new shakeup in The Surrender, the feature debut by writer-directorJulia Max. The occult ritual horror movie began streaming exclusively on Shudder today.
Colby Minifie (“The Boys“) and Kate Burton (“Grey’s Anatomy”) star as a fraught mother-daughter duo whose relationship is “put to a terrifying test when the family patriarch dies, and the grieving mother hires a mysterious stranger to bring her husband back from the dead.
“As the bizarre and brutal resurrection spirals out of control, both women must confront their differences as they fight for their lives – and for each other.”
Neil Sandilands, Vaughn Armstrong, Mia Ellis, Pete Ploszek, Chelsea Alden, Alaina Pollack, Riley Rose Critchlow, and Lola Prince Kelly also star.
The final new horror release for the week is the psychological thriller Restless from writer and director Jed Hart, which Quiver Distribution released onto VOD outlets today.
Restless is the story of an empty nester whose quiet life is turned upside down when hard-partying—and potentially dangerous—new neighbors move in next door.
Lyndsey Marshal, Aston McAuley, Barry Ward, Kate Robbins, Denzel Baidoo, and Ciara Ford star.
Restless had its world premiere at Tribeca Festival 2024 and was nominated for the Raindance Maverick Award at the 2024 British Independent Film Awards, along with being nominated for the Audience Award at the Glasgow Film Festival.
