As Netflix’s library of films ebbs and flows, finding the right movie to watch can feel like bailing out an ocean with a spoon. And if you’re looking for a quality horror movie in particular, the search only gets harder. With the reality that Horror is one of the cheapest genres to produce, streamers like Netflix are cluttered with a veritable tsunami of bloody titles that sometimes seem indistinguishable from one another. Curating the 25 scariest movies on Netflix is then quite a process of selection and reduction.

If you’re looking for a good horror movie to watch on Netflix that will truly scare you, picking a final selection can prove a more daunting task than sitting through yet another “Haunting of Hill House” rewatch; with or without its beloved “Bly Manor” chaser. But while the streamer’s priorities seem to shift as quickly as its content selection grows,...

Through the lens of an Mma fighter grappling with an uphill battle for survival, Joseph Marconi’s Baby Love explores how self-harm can unexpectedly lead to a path of self-discovery. Offering what appears to be a nuanced portrait of healing, devoid of overt aggression, this feature debut from a filmmaker who has worked in short films, music videos, and branded content is experienced with a sound-driven aesthetic, and actress Kiana Madeira, who leads the cast, delivers a performance imbued with that bottle-rocket fuel authenticity. I had the chance to speak to Joseph Marconi in Wroclaw.

While the eco-system remains inherently delicate, the American micro indie film scene thrives, and Ioncinema.com…...

The Dcu is still in its early stages, and anticipation surrounds how James Gunn’s vision will unfold on screen. With Gunn’s clear direction, DC Comics fans have much to anticipate. While few projects have been formally announced, casting remains a pivotal focus for many. Actors often voice their interest in specific roles, and Canadian actress Kiana Madeira is the latest to express her desire to portray Zatanna, a beloved and promising character in DC Comics.

Kiana Madeira, a rising Canadian actress, gained recognition through Netflix’s popular teen drama series “Trinkets” and further solidified her status with her role as Deena in the 2021 Netflix horror film trilogy “Fear Street.” In 2021, she joined the After series as Nora in “After We Fell” and has appeared in various television projects, including a minor role in “The Flash” and voicing Supergirl in the animated series “My Adventures with Superman.”

Given her diverse roles,...

The Dcu is still very young, and we have yet to see how James Gunn’s vision will come to life and what it will look like. But, from the looks of it, Gunn has a very firm vision of what he wants to create, and fans of DC Comics definitely have a lot to be excited about. Not many projects have been announced and planned as of the time of writing, but one common topic is related to the actors who might appear in the Dcu, as casting is always a very important aspect of a project. In light of that fact, fans are always proposing their own choices, but some actors are publically promoting themselves for certain roles!

Canadian actress Kiana Madeira is the most recent actress to come out with her desire to play a character in Gunn’s upcoming Dcu and she has her eyes set on Zatanna,...

Exclusive: Kiana Madeira (Fear Street trilogy) is making her first leap into producing as executive producer and star of Baby Love, an indie fighter drama marking the feature debut of writer-director Joseph Marconi.

Others set to star include Marielle Scott (Lady Bird), Homeland‘s Maury Sterling and Amy Hargreaves, Blake Lindsley (9-1-1) and Irene Bedard (Avatar: The Last Airbender).

The film centers on Rhiannon “Baby Love” Mitchell (Madeira), an Mma fighter on the brink of self-destruction who battles through underground fight circuits, facing physical and emotional turmoil. When a series of concussions threaten her career, she is forced into an unconventional equine therapy program. Skeptical and defiant, she gradually bonds with the horses and the program’s patients, rediscovering her inner strength and confronting her past. As she heals, she must decide whether to return to the ring or forge a new path.

During the quarantine era of the Covid-19 pandemic, major cultural events were shaped by an internet connection. Many remember the weeks' worth of discussions after watching Netflix's "Tiger King" shortly after the world started shutting down, and the hours spent toiling away in virtual worlds like "Animal Crossing." But for horror fans, one of the biggest events happened in 2021, when Netflix released a trilogy of horror films based on R.L. Stine's "Fear Street" novels, with a new film released three Fridays in a row. Director Leigh Janiak created "Fear Street Part One: 1994," "Fear Street Part Two: 1978," and "Fear Street Part Three: 1666" based on Stine's books but without directly following any specific storyline, and they instantly became must-watch movies.

Horror fans would spend the week between film releases trying to predict what might happen next, share theories on the platform formerly known as Twitter, and get into heated debates...

Netflix's shadiest horror franchise is targeting its next set of victims. The slasher series "Fear Street" debuted back in 2021 as three full-length movies set in the fictional but aptly-named town of Shadyside, based on author R.L. Stine's popular "Cheerleaders" sub-trilogy within the "Fear Street" novels. The mega-sized special event was released over the course of three consecutive weeks on the streaming service (check out /Film's spoiler review of the movies here), pulled in a ton of viewers, earned consistently high praise among critics, and served up all sorts of gory kills and supernatural chills -- along with one heck of a memorable kill by a particularly deadly bread slicer. Fans have been clamoring for more sequels ever since and rumors of new movies have swirled since at least 2022, but now we've heard straight from the studio that another release has officially been greenlit.

After all three previous movies...

After working together on the 2021 version of Wrong Turn, director Mike P. Nelson and screenwriter Alan B. McElroy are re-teaming for the Brazil-set creature feature Titan – and Deadline reports that Kiana Madeira of the Fear Street trilogy and Jessica Rothe of the Happy Death Day movies are set to star in the film!

The story Titan is set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River in the present day. When a team of young doctors embark on a local humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest, it soon becomes clear that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the “Boiúna”. This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, clashes to reclaim the jungle. The ensuing fight for survival blurs the roles of hunter, prey, and hero.

The film is coming our way from the Resident Evil franchise makers at Constantin Film and Jb Pictures.

Mike P. Nelson has set up his next project, with Deadline reporting that Kiana Madeira (Fear Street) and Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) are set to star in Nelson’s Titan, “set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River.”

Titan is said to be an “action-adventure-horror-thriller.”

Deadline details, “Titan is set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River in the present day. When a team of young doctors embark on a local humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest, it soon becomes clear that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the Boiúna.”

“This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, clashes to reclaim the jungle. The ensuing fight for survival blurs the roles of hunter, prey, and hero.”

It's a good time to be an R.L. Stine fan. After adapting his "Cheerleaders" trilogy in 2021, Netflix is back to adapt another "Fear Street" novel, this time as a standalone movie. Stine himself announced the news on X/Twitter yesterday: 

"A new 'Fear Street' movie is about to go into production for Netflix. It's based on my 'Fear Street' book, 'The Prom Queen.' Good news!"

The 1992 novel takes place once again in the appropriately-named town of Shadyside. The town's high school has prom coming up, and there are five potential Prom Queen candidates in the running. But somebody starts killing the girls one by one, and it's up to main character Lizzie McVay to get to the bottom of things before she herself is murdered. In 2022 it was reported that Chloe Okuno (director of "Watcher" and "Slut") had closed a deal to direct the next "Fear Street" movie,...

Writer-director Ron Dias (Bite of a Mango) and actress-writer Joanne Jansen, both of Toronto-based production company Ron & Aussie, are teaming up on Morningside which will chart the intertwining lives within Scarborough’s Morningside community center.

The project will be distributed in the U.S. on SVOD by AMC’s All Blk, which contributed funding, alongside private investors.

Kiana Madeira, best known for her role in Netflix’s hit trilogy Fear Street, has signed with Luber Roklin Entertainment for management.

In the horror-mystery series inspired by R.L. Stine’s beloved novels directed by Leigh Janiak, Madeira played the lead character, Deena, who bravely tackled the chaos throughout each film and quickly became a fan favorite.

In the award-winning indie film Brother, directed by Clement Virgo and based on David Chariandy’s novel, Madeira portrayed Aisha. The role earned her a nomination for Outstanding Performance at the 2023 Actra Toronto Awards. Additionally, she starred in Constantin Film’s Perfect Addiction and the popular Netflix films After We Fell, After Ever Happy, and After Everything.

Madeira’s television credits include Trinkets for Netflix, Facebook Watch’s Sacred Lies, and CW’s The Flash and Coroner. She is also set to appear in Adult Swim’s My Adventures with Superman Season 2, scheduled...

Hero Fiennes Tiffin is having a serious case of writer's block. In an exclusive scene from "After Everything," his character, Hardin, is pressured by his publisher to release his second book after receiving a sizable cash advance.

"You have a tiny window of relevance and it's dwindling every day," the publisher tells him, to which Hardin quips, "Can't rush greatness, can you?"

"I can when I've given you a quarter-million dollar advance," she responds.

"After Everything" is the fifth and final installment in the After franchise. Directed by Castille Landon, the film finds Hardin and Tessa (Josephine Langford) living separate lives following the release of Hardin's revealing book, which Tessa knew nothing about. As a result, Hardin returns to his old ways, drinking and engaging in other harmful habits.

"I thought you were sober?" Hardin's publisher asks him in the clip.

"I was," he responds, before lifting up his drink and cheers-ing with her.

A single mother struggles to protect her two very different sons, growing up in Toronto, in Clement Virgo’s deeply moving film

This critically feted and broodingly touching Canadian drama from writer-director Clement Virgo focuses on two siblings, Francis and Michael, brilliantly played by Aaron Pierre and Lamar Johnson. Yet despite the title and the poster that both foreground the two male leads, the film could equally have been called Mother (as opposed to mother!), with Marsha Stephanie Blake dominating the screen as the Jamaican-Canadian matriarch Ruth, struggling to hold and protect her sons. Indeed, all of Brother’s most powerfully affecting moments centre on Ruth’s love and loss, with her children the source of her joy and sadness.

We first meet Francis and Michael as teenagers at the foot of a gigantic power pylon, an electrical crackle buzzing in the bright rural air. The older, more adventurous Francis...

After Everything is the fifth and final entry in the After Film franchise. Written and Directed by Castille Landon, the film is based on a novel of the same name by Anna Todd. The romantic drama film follows Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) as he travels to Portugal in order to make amends to Natalie (Mimi Keene). After Everything will also provide us with a final answer about where Hardin and Tess (Josephine Langford) will end up.

The romantic drama film also stars Benjamin Mascolo as Sebastian, Arielle Kibbel as Kim Vance, Louise Lombard as Trish Daniels, Chance Perdomo as Landon, Kiana Madeira as Nora, Stephen Moyer as Christian Vance, Jessica Webber as Maddy, and Carter Jenkins as Robert.

After Everything – Where Is It Streaming?...

A sumptuously filmed adaptation of David Chariandy’s novel tackles heavy-duty issues such as police brutality, racism and closeted desire with a relatively light touch

“Danger: High Voltage” are among the first words seen on screen in writer-director Clement Virgo’s adaptation of David Chariandy’s 2017 novel. It begins with wannabe DJ/producer Francis (Aaron Pierre) pressuring his younger sibling Michael (Lamar Johnson) to join him in scaling a sinisterly buzzing pylon in their home town of Scarborough, Ontario. The voltage stays at that level throughout much of Brother, which ticks off several films’ worth of heavy-duty subjects – police brutality, racism, the immigrant experience, gang violence, closeted desire, dementia, cancer – and only occasionally verges on the ponderous.

The question that haunts the film is: what made Francis climb that day? After the opening scene, the action shifts forward a decade to find Michael, his old flame Aisha (Kiana Madeira...

Vertical has nabbed U.S. rights to Clement Virgo’s feature film, “Brother,” following its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film is slated for a day-and-date release this summer.

In the streaming era, there's no shortage of steamy, new-adult romance dramas to choose between - think: the "After" series, "Euphoria," and "Bridgerton" - so any new project entering into the genre's landscape has to set itself apart. Thankfully, Kiana Madeira, Ross Butler, and Matthew Noszka's new movie "Perfect Addiction," which hit Amazon Prime Video on April 14, succeeds at that with flying colors.

The movie follows a mixed martial arts trainer named Sienna (Madeira) who - after devoting much of her life to training and taking care of her reigning champion fighter boyfriend, Jax (Noszka) - finds out he's been cheating on her with her sister. Set on getting revenge, Sienna begins training Jax's nemesis Kayden (Butler) to beat him in the ring. But when their training sessions spark real feelings, Sienna has to figure out what's more important: her newfound feelings for Kayden or her obsession with getting back at her ex.

The Canadian Screen Awards has unveiled nominations for the national film and TV prize-giving, and the CBC civil rights drama The Porter leads the film and TV field with 19 mentions in all, including for best small-screen drama.

The first Canadian drama series from an all-Black creative team, which also streams on BET+, centers on the lives of Black train porters and their families as they launch North America’s first Black labor union in the 1920s.

The TV categories, voted on by around 3,000 Canadian industry insiders, also sees the CBC series Detention Adventure and Sort Of – a Peabody award-winning show about a gender fluid young Muslim in Toronto played by Bilal Baig — nab 15 nominations each in an awards show shaping up to be a major showcase for people of color.

That follows Canadian film, and TV industry efforts to ensure diversity and inclusivity in the country’s indie production sector and prize-giving process.

After Netflix's "Fear Street" trilogy came and went last year to all sorts of critical and audience acclaim, the streaming giant has made the objectively correct choice to let the scary times keep rolling. Not content to leave the impressively well-realized story (as explained in detail by /Film's Joshua Meyer in his spoiler review) at just three movies, it appears that the next film in this fun new franchise is about to get a big boost in talent behind the camera.

After Leigh Janiak wrote and directed all three of the previous movies, Above the Line (via Bloody Disgusting) reports the exciting news that Chloe Okuna will step into the director's chair to helm the next "Fear Street" film.

And who could forget the chill-inducing commercials for TV movies?

Exclusive: Toronto born actress Kiana Madeira, who broke out recently in the Netflix hit trilogy Fear Street, has inked with Verve.

The movies, based on R.L. Stine’s acclaimed horror book series were shot back-to-back by director Leigh Janiak, with Madeira playing two different characters across three different time periods, Deena and Sarah.

The franchise broke the mold not only with the shooting schedule but for Netflix with a weekly release schedule, and eventized outdoor premieres at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Next up, Madeira is set to star as Nora in the next installments of the After film franchise, After We Fell and After Ever Happy, based on the best-selling books by Anna Todd.

Previously, on the television side, Madeira led the cast of the Daytime Emmy Award winning Netflix series Trinkets for two seasons, starred in the Facebook Watch series Sacred Lies, before starring on The Flash for the CW.

The Fear Street trilogy was definitely a highlight of my summer and the most fun I had watching horror movies in a while. Having grown up on R.L. Stine books and being a fan of Leigh Janiak and her work on Honeymoon, I was looking forward to the movies. That said, I wasn't prepared for how much the cast and crew would excel at balancing fun, scares, and brutal kills, with characters you care about, a cohesiveness across the three films, and a poignant reminder that the problems and evils of the past are still around today.

During the initial release of a film, it's often tough to conduct a deep dive interview or get into spoilers, which is why I recently caught up with Kiana Madeira to discuss all things Fear Street, including first auditioning for the role, preparing for a time shift in 1666, and her excitement for future...

Olivia Scott Welch is an ardent fan of old-school horror movies, but she’s awfully proud of the Fear Street trilogy’s modern take on the genre’s most prominent tropes. In Fear Street Part One, Two and Three, Welch plays Sam, whose romance with Kiana Madeira’s Deena is the crux of the entire trilogy. But anyone who’s halfway familiar with horror movies, especially of the slasher variety, knows that love stories have a paltry survival rate. So as a student of the genre, Welch was somewhat surprised when she learned that Sam and Deena ...
