This Week in Horror History (Mar 23–29) is your weekly horror release-date rundown—with
where to watch (U.S.), a
deep-cut spotlight, and a
weekly recommendation built for nights when you want your horror
mean, chaotic, and just a little contaminated.
This week we’ve got
desert-mutant survival horror, a
killer video game movie with pure mid-2000s cursed-object energy, a
found-footage livestream nightmare that spirals beautifully out of control, and one
extremely angry flock proving that pastoral scenery is no protection from body-count madness.
