From big-budget releases to smaller, independent films, this week delivers plenty of suspense and thrills.

‘Send Help’ (2026)

Coming January 30, 2026, this intense survival thriller from Disney will be shown in select theaters. Starring Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, and Dennis Haysbert, the 113-minute film follows a group of people stranded on an island. It’s a scary and suspenseful story that explores the fear of being alone and the lengths people will go to in order to survive. This is a new direction for Disney, venturing into the world of psychological horror and primal fear.

‘Anaconda’ (2025)

A new version of the 1997 monster movie will be available to stream on January 27, 2026. It retells the story of a film crew that comes face-to-face with a giant, dangerous snake in the jungle. Critics have given it a mixed response (49% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences seem to enjoy it more (76%). The filmmakers focused on creating suspenseful scenes and using modern visual effects to make the creature truly terrifying for today’s viewers.

‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’ (2026)

A new movie in the popular Santa Claus slasher series arrives on streaming services January 27, 2026. Critics and audiences both seem to like it, giving it a “Certified Fresh” rating with scores of 77% and 78% respectively. While staying true to the spirit of the original 1984 film, it features a modern look and delves into the unsettling connection between holiday traditions and personal trauma.

‘House of Ka’ (2025)

A new horror film exploring ancient curses and Egyptian mythology will start streaming on January 27, 2026. It offers a fresh take on spirit possession and the occult, focusing on a mysterious story and the dangers of disturbing ancient burial sites. Currently, the film hasn’t received reviews from critics or audiences.

‘History’s Deadliest with Ving Rhames’ (2026–)

As a critic, I have to say this series, narrated by the always-compelling Ving Rhames, really grabbed me from the start. Premiering on the History Channel in January 2026, it dives deep into the most devastating moments, people, and events in history. It’s not just a recitation of facts, though; the show expertly blends solid historical research with powerful visuals to truly show you the scale of past tragedies and the environmental dangers we’ve faced. Expect a really informative, and sometimes unsettling, look at the darker side of our past and what caused these terrible events.

‘School Spirits’ (2023–)

The third season of this supernatural series will debut on Paramount+ on January 28, 2026. The show centers on a teenage girl who died and is now investigating what happened to her, along with other ghosts at her high school. This upcoming season will explore the school’s haunted history and the reasons why the ghosts haven’t moved on. The series has become popular for its mix of typical high school drama and spooky mysteries.
