This week on **Ministry of Horror**, we’re taking a trip into the unsettling world of **The Exit 8**, the Japanese psychological horror film that transforms an everyday setting into a tense and deeply…
As per usual, this all comes from bloodydisgusting.com.
Check them out.
First up, Friday just gone, June 26th, four new horror movies released at home today.
John Squires writes this: "The Halloween season can no longer be contained to the months of September and October, with Summerween becoming a thing in recent years.
Essentially, it allows for Halloween to blend into the warmer summer months, and the first ever Summerween movie has arrived.
The Asylum released Summerween onto digital outlets today.
In the film from writer-director Ryan Ebert, on Summerween, a former circus clown escapes a mental institution to return to his abandoned mansion and hunt the teens partying there.
Director Ryan Ebert is the man behind a string of recent indie horrors we've covered," uh, as in Bloody Disgusting, "including Shark Side of the Moon, The Jolly Monkey, Jurassic Reborn, and Predator: Wastelands." Oh, so that's kind of a knockoff Predator: Badlands.
Um, I mean, it's an Asylum movie.
I can't actually say I've ever watched an Asylum film, but they are just known for doing, um, mockbusters, essentially, knockoff of blockbusters.
I mean, this looks like an original property, but I mean, Circus Clown escapes a mental institution to return to an abandoned...
It's, yeah, I mean, it's your basic setup for a slasher, like an '80s slasher.
How that translates into 2026, production values, scares, you know, it's...
Those style slashers are still doable.
I think Thanksgiving did a very good job of that, but they are kind of few and far between when it's not already, like, an established franchise, like, you know, Scream.
Moving on.
A witchy coming-of-age story from Dark Sky Films, Camp, is now playing in select theaters.
Check your local listings to find a theater near you.
Camp is from the writer-director Avalon Farr, who did Honeycomb and The Serpent's Skin.
Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life, and she feels the weight of these accidents as though cursed.
At her father's suggestion, she takes a position at a summer camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt.
When Emily arrives, she is welcomed by the other counselors who accept her as she is and surround her with peace and forgiveness.
As Emily begins to believe in a new kind of life, she starts to hear a voice whispering from deep in the woods, one that urges her to go home, and one that may be impossible to ignore.
The film stars Zola Grimer in her screen debut alongside Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Leah Rose Sebastianis, uh, Ella Reese, Austin Van de Kamp, Sophie Balk Smith, Iza Jarvis, and Aidan Laudersmith.
