A new Alien movie? Why not? The ninth installment in the iconic franchise will function as a standalone film set between the events of 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens. Let's see if Fede Álvarez can make the franchise great again.
Saw XI

Nosferatu

Of course, the new remake of the classic 1922 German Expressionist film about the obsessive relationship between a haunted young woman and a bloodthirsty vampire could be a flop. But it stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult and Lily-Rose Depp, so count us in.
Final Destination 6
Premiere: late 2024

Premiere: sometime in 2024
The final installment of the X trilogy will see Mia Goth reprise her role as Maxine, who survived the events of the massacre in X. The heroine is set to move to LA to pursue her acting career. We have to see how the story ends, right?
