While it can be a special experience to witness a truly terrifying horror movie in theaters, there were several fantastic scary movies that never made it to the big screen. While the advent of the internet means many horror movies come straight to streaming, there were also plenty of excellent straight-to-dvd or even straight-to-vhs horror movies from years gone by. These often low-budget releases didnt have to pander to box office expectations and, in some cases, were able to be more ambitious and unique as a result.
Some of the best non-theatrically released movies were in the horror genre, as incredible horror movies were often produced with very little funding or support from major studios. In some cases, direct-to-video sequels even outdid their theatrical predecessors and gained cult followings among horror fans in the years since their release. These incredible non-theatrical horror movies proved that filmmakers dont need to get...

From the writer of Last Shift and its remake Malum, 123 Go Films has released Scott Poiley’s horror movie Exhume (2017) onto Digital and VOD outlets, we’ve learned this week.
Written and directed by Scott Poiley, Exhume stars William Haze (The Punisher), Alice Rietveld (Skyfire) and Sarah Sculco.
123 Go Films previews, “Inspired by true events, this edge-of-your-seat horror will have you guessing what is happening to this family.”
Here’s the official plot synopsis: “Over 50 unmarked graves were discovered in Marianna, Florida at an institution dedicated to the rehabilitation of troubled children. Patrick Connor and his wife Karen Connor were the archeologists that uncovered the evil buried under the earth so many years ago.

Stars: Juliana Harkavy, Joshua Mikel, J. Larose, Natalie Victoria, Sarah Sculco, Kathryn Kilger, Mary Lankford Poiley | Written and Directed by Anthony Diblasi
Horror is at its best when there isn’t a focus on over doing special effects to try to shock the audience. If a film can make use of its location, add in some lighting and create a feeling of claustrophobia then it can create scares better than any computer can. This is the strength of Last Shift.
Jessica Loren’s (Juliana Harkavy) first shit as a police officer is to stay in a closing police station alone until the hazmat team to come pick-up some bio-hazardous waste still left in the armoury. Meant to be the only person left in the station it’s not long before she finds herself haunted by both the living and the dead.
Last Shift is smart because it builds atmosphere before the horror is brought in.

In this day and age we’re used to seeing a flurry of films that deal with young college kids who end up in the middle of nowhere being attacked by a random monster or person, but this isn’t the case with “Cassadaga.” Instead we’re taken by the hand and lead into a dark, twisted world that’s disturbing and thrilling to watch all at once. In “Cassadaga” we follow an artistically talented but deaf young woman named Lily (Kelen Coleman) who tries to cope with the death of her younger sister (Sarah Sculco) by moving into the quiet psychic-populated town of Cassadaga. In the process she finds herself entangled with a...
