No trailer has been released yet for Osgood Perkins’ another horror film, Keeper, after two brilliant features, Longlegs and The Monkey. However, plot details have been shared that state the story will be based on a couple’s romantic anniversary getaway to an isolated cabin. And we know there is always a malevolent presence in such a cabin…ALWAYS! But this one has a special, uncanny touch from Perkins.

A post shared by Netflix US (@netflix)

Guillermo del Toro is retelling the classic story of Frankenstein but instilling his own magic. The latest released photo shows Oscar Isaac as the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein, who loves making life out of death. We are yearning for other detailed pieces of information about the film, and we think we have to wait for that.  

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2– December 5

Without any hardcore details on the film’s plot, the teaser shows more crazy survival adventure among the creepy animatronics at Freddy’s pizzeria. The official synopsis has no explicit details, however, the teaser does specify that “They are everywhere”.

Which horror movies 2025 are you most excited to watch? 

Have you seen the trailer of any of these movies yet? We cannot wait to watch Final Destination: Bloodlines as it took the heart out of our chests with its first teaser. The Conjuring: Last Rites would be interesting too as the the real story of the Smurl family is quite intriguing, and also that the film will be a goodbye to the franchise. 

28 Years Later and I Know What You Did Last Summer are coming after a long hiatus. The anticipation is at an all-time high already.
