We’ve been tracking this week’s new releases all week long, with four horror movies debuting on Tuesday and two more debuting on Thursday. Believe it or not, we’re still not done.
Here are four more new horror movies released today, February 10, 2023!
For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.
First up, director Erik Bloomquist (Ten Minutes to Midnight, Long Lost) is back with She Came from the Woods, an ’80s-set summer camp slasher movie that’s now playing in theaters.
We don’t yet have a home video release date, but we expect one soon.
She Came from the Woods follows “a group of counsellors who accidentally unleash an ancient evil spirit on the last night of a summer camp. As the situation turns bloody, the group is forced to confront what stories are worth telling and what secrets are worth keeping.”

Let’s hold a moment of silence for the presence wasted in writer and director Harry Owens’ feature debut, The Unsettling. Leading performances are admirable, but the tediously sluggish narrative is an ambiguous slog that culminates with the impact of a handkerchief slap. Owens’ themes feel indebted to Remi Weekes’ His House and Nikyatu Jusu’s Nanny — aligned with African horror tales on American soil — only to abandon subplot roots in a finale stricken by amnesia. The Unsettling is an unfortunate example of contemporary “Trauma Horror” trends and slow-burn A24 genre signatures, underselling both before rolling credits on what feels like unfinished business.
Abena (Zephani Idoko) and Kwame (Bambadjan Bamba) are a Ghanaian couple who’ve just suffered the loss of their daughter. Kwame books a Los Angeles vacation thanks to his friend Charley’s gracious deal on a quaint rental somewhere in the suburbs, away from tragic reminders of their lost child.

"Well I don't think it's a dream… I think it's here, in this house." Dark Sky Pictures has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film titled The Unsettling, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Harry Owens. After premiering at festivals last year, it's finally getting an official release this year. Still recovering from every parent's worst nightmare, a couple seek a new life in picture-perfect suburban USA by traveling to Los Angeles. But the grief they bring with them finds a dark energy in the new home, and soon the promise of their new life turns into series of horrifying visions and strange dreamstate encounters with unspeakable evil… The house they rented slowly begins to stalk them, consuming their sorrow and trapping them in a nightmare. This stars Zephani Idoko, Bambadjan Bamba, Libby Munro, and Benedikt Sebastian. This trailer has some extra scary moments, especially around that dirty mirror.

Nanny is a horror movie written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu, starring Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan and Sinqua Walls.
An impressive display of cinematographic excellence. Hypnotic and paced, it wins the viewer over slowly but surely, and will not let you go.
Premise
Aisha is hired as a nanny by a well to do New York Upper East Side couple, while she prepares for the arrival of the son she left behind in Senegal. An ominous presence shows up in her her dreams and when awake, putting her pursuit of the American Dream at risk.
Movie Review
The subtle foreboding, without overt brutality or spectacle, is a constant in this feature film. Very measured in its pace, it takes its time to gain momentum, but the narrative flows so well, hand in hand with stunning visuals, that one gives into what can best be described as an almost hypnotic experience...
