By the Numbers: 5,433 Movies Across 11 Years Say Ratings Went Up 0.32 Points — But Only Horror and Sci-Fi Earned It
Are movies actually getting better in 2026, or are we just rating them higher? I ran the question against every movie in the spameri.cz database with at least 100 Trakt votes — 5,433 films from 2015 through 2026 — and the answer is yes to both, but the math is more interesting than that.
Binge Report: The Terror Returns After Almost 7 Years, and Devil in Silver Is Your Slow-Burn Weekend
🍿 OK we need to talk. The Terror is back after almost seven years, Devil in Silver dropped on AMC+ and Shudder this morning, and if you're hunting for something to mainline this weekend, the answer is here — with one big asterisk. Dan Stevens plays a regular guy dumped in a New York psychiatric ward that absolutely should not exist, and Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell, and Karyn Kusama turned LaValle's own 2012 novel into something prestige horror fans should make time for. It's not Franklin Arctic. It's not trying to be.

That's the most front-loaded R-rated horror opening of recent memory, and it tells us exactly where Universal's monster reboot wave is heading next: nowhere good.
The Mummy Just Proved Blumhouse Can Resurrect Anything — But Should They?
Lee Cronin's The Mummy is sitting at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes — miles ahead of the 2017 Dark Universe disaster but nowhere near his own Evil Dead Rise. It's bloody, it's loud, and it can't decide what kind of movie it wants to be.
Horror Never Dies: What the Numbers Say About Every Major Horror Franchise Revival
Evil Dead Burn is the latest in a long line of horror franchise comebacks. We ran the numbers on every major horror series revival — from Scream to Halloween to Alien — and found a pattern the studios definitely already know: horror is the safest bet in Hollywood.
