Horror is the gift that keeps giving, especially when it comes to inventive carnage on screen. On that front, it’s been a stellar year for memorable kills in horror thanks to a slew of franchise entries, original slashers, surprising takes on demonic possession, and more.

What might be most surprising, in the best possible way, is how 2023 horror pushed boundaries when it came to on-screen deaths. 2023 horror wasn’t afraid to get ruthless when it came to shattering the taboo of killing kids. Nor was it afraid to deliver unforgettable moments on screen through unexpected demises that made us groan, cheer, recoil, and even laugh.

We’re saluting the ten best kills in 2023 horror movies, which means massive spoilers ahead.

You’ve been warned…

Beau is Afraid – Mid-Coitus Shock

Sometimes, it’s not the goriest or most elaborate death that lingers, but the funniest. In Ari Aster’s strange odyssey,...

Puppet Master III: Toulon’s Revenge 4K Uhd from Full Moon Features

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Kids vs Aliens.How does the Kids vs Aliens ending differ from the original V/H/S/2 segment it was based on? Kids vs Aliens is Jason Eisner's second feature, arriving 12 years after his 2011 debut feature Hobo with a Shotgun. Like that film, Kids vs Aliens is an expansion of one of Eisner's short films, this time his segment "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" from the 2013 anthology film V/H/S/2.

The kids of the title are Gary (Dominic Mariche) and his friends Jack (Asher Grayson Percival) and Miles (Ben Tector), who make wrestling-themed science fiction films in Gary's barn, with the help of his teenage sister Samantha (Phoebe Rex). However, a rift is created between Gary and Samantha when the latter is suddenly courted by Billy (Calem MacDonald), who, with his friends Dallas (Isaiah Fortune) and Trish (Emma Vickers), act as bullies to Gary and his friends.

Jason Eisener Is Back!

The filmmaker behind cult classics “Treevenge” and Hobo with a Shotgun, not to mention Vice TV’s hit “Dark Side of the Ring”, has turned his V/H/S/2 segment into the full-blown traditional feature Kids vs. Aliens, now in limited theaters and on VOD platforms from Rlje Films and Shudder.

Kids vs. Aliens, which delivers all of the charm, fun, and chaos of a Jason Eisener film, is the latest collaboration between Bloody Disgusting, Cinepocalypse, and Studio71, who jointly produced V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/99.

In Kids vs. Aliens, all Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend, an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night.

Audiences love a good adventure film about kids going on fantastical and sci-fi journey. It is the type of story that made Steven Spielberg a legend to many young generations of filmmakers. Later, that premise would get the likes of Netflix's Stranger Things off to a fantastic start with viewership. Kids vs. Aliens is a good ol’ fashioned kids vs. alien story with a great deal of profanity and gore.

Kids vs. Aliens follows Gary (Dominic Mariche) and his friends as they make a homemade movie of epic proportions. Of course, the kids are fighting dinosaurs with guns and swords alongside Gary’s sister, Sam (Phoebe Rex), who is particularly interested in wielding the latter. Things go off the rails with the production as Sam starts to feel awkward about playing with kids, a couple of bullies decide to pick on Gary and his friends, Gary gets injured, and...

Director Jason Eisener is back with the horror/sci-fi movie Kids vs. Aliens, released in Theaters, On Demand, and Digital on January 20, 2023, from Rlje Films and Shudder.

In Kids vs. Aliens, produced by Bloody Disgusting, Cinepocalypse, and Studio71, all Gary (Dominic Mariche) wants is to make wrestling home movies with his best buds. Gary’s annoyed that his older sister Samantha (Phoebe Rex) wants to skip their wrestling fun to hang with the cool kids. When the siblings’ parents head out of town on Halloween weekend, a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night.

Eisener co-wrote the film with John Davies (Hobo with a Shotgun) and incorporated his childhood into this wild midnight movie, from hometown UFO lore to his love of Masters of the Universe toys. In many ways, Kids vs. Aliens feels like a fitting full...

Plot: An all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing two warring siblings to band together to survive the night.

Review: Kids vs Aliens is schlock through and through. This shouldn’t come as a surprise since it comes from tJason Eisener, who brought us Hobo With A Shotgun but, even still, it can be a little oftputting. As such, there’s a ton of stuff that I could go after with this movie. The unevenness in tone from moment to moment, the insane story progressions are easy annoyances in any other movie. But I went in expecting grindhouse and that’s what I got. But is this on the same level as the similarly themed Psycho Goreman? Well…

The story follows a group of kids as aliens invade their coastal town. The oldest of the group is aging out and wanting to do more adult things,...

Screen Rant is thrilled to present an exclusive clip from the new horror sci-fi movie Kids Vs. Aliens. The new movie follows Gary, who wants more than anything to make an awesome horror movie with his best friends, but his sister Samantha has a different goal: to get in with the cool kids. When their parents leave town for Halloween weekend, they throw a blowout house party, but terror quickly overtakes the fun when aliens attack. In the face of certain death, with the aliens using human skin as fuel for their ship, Gary and Samantha must work together to survive the night with only the costumes they wear and weapons they can find.

Kids Vs. Aliens is based on John Davies and Jason Eisener's segment from the found-footage horror anthology movie V/H/S/2, "Slumber Party Alien Abduction." Kids Vs. Aliens is Eisner's second feature-length project after Hobo With A Shotgun,...

Stars: Dominic Mariche, Ben Tector, Asher Grayson, Phoebe Rex, Calem McDonald, Jonathan Torrens | Written by John Davies | Directed by Jason Eisener

Kids vs. Aliens gets off to a promising start as the crew of a fishing boat witness a UFO splashdown near them and are quickly decimated by its occupants. The scene then cuts rather jarringly to Gary his friends Miles (Ben Tector) and Jack along with his older sister Samantha (Phoebe Rex) making a super 8 post-apocalyptic epic.

After their shoot is disrupted by neighbourhood bully Billy and his friends Sam finds herself interested in things other than filmmaking. There are just two problems. One, Billy is only interested in one thing, well two things, he also wants her to let him throw a Halloween party at her house while her parents are away. Two, or I guess three now, the aliens plan on attending as well.

Director Jason Eisener...

"Kids vs Aliens" is a new sci fiction action feature, directed by Jason Eisener, starring Dominic Mariche, Phoebe Rex, Calem MacDonald, Asher Grayson Percival and Ben Tector, in theaters, on demand and digital January 20, 2023:

One of the most popular films to emerge from Fantastic Fest 2022 was Kids Vs. Aliens by Jason Eisener.

All Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend, an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night. The movie features Dominic Mariche, Phoebe Rex, Calem MacDonald, Asher Grayson Percival, Ben Tector.

Sitting at 75 on Rotten Tomatoes, Chris Evangelista of Slashfilm said in his review from September that Kids Vs. Aliens “embraces gore and danger to emulate the type of old-school monster movie kids would gleefully devour late at night during sleepovers.”

Eisener says of his film: “We wanted to create a horror adventure film with its own expansive universe,...

Rlje Films and Shudder debuted a rad and expletive-filled trailer for Kids vs. Aliens, a new film from Jason Eisener. The Kids vs. Aliens trailer gives us a fantastic look at the upcoming thriller focusing on a group of teenagers forced to defend their home (and the planet) from extraterrestrial invaders hellbent on using human skin to fuel their spaceship. The footage contains lots of gross-out visuals you’d expect from an Eisener-directed film, in addition to style, vibrant colors, and spooky cinematography.

Eisener directs from a script he co-wrote with John Davies. In addition to dropping a Kids vs. Aliens trailer, the studio also debuted key art and an official synopsis for the upcoming science-fiction horror adventure:

“All Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend,...

"It's just one of their stupid pranks!" Here we go! From the filmmaker behind Treevenge and Hobo with a Shotgun comes Kids vs. Aliens, his latest wild and crazy indie horror flick from Canada. This premiered at Fantastic Fest, FrightFest, and Sitges this fall, opening in January. Made by filmmaker Jason Eisener - an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing two warring siblings to band together to survive the night. While it sounds similar to Attack the Block, it looks entirely different. Starring Dominic Mariche, Phoebe Rex, Calem MacDonald, Asher Grayson Percival, and Ben Tector. "Utilizing elements from Spielberg and Donner’s templates, Eisener crafts a nostalgic homage to timeless childhood favorites like The Goonies and Monster Squad, but spices them up with foul-mouthed dialogue and gallons of gore." I had a blast watching this film! Glad they included so many F-bombs in here.

Following its well-received world premiere at Fantastic Fest earlier this year, Kids vs. Aliens is coming to theaters, On Demand, and Digital on January 20th via Rlje Films (before its streaming release on Shudder later that year), and we have a look at the official trailer and poster ahead of its release!

Directed by Jason Eisener from a screenplay co-written by John Davies and Eisener, Kids vs. Aliens stars Dominic Mariche, Phoebe Rex, Calem MacDonald, Asher Grayson Percival, and Ben Tector.

When we saw the teaser trailer for Hobo with a Shotgun (watch it Here) director Jason Eisener’s new film Kids vs. Aliens back in September, it was said that Rlje Films would be giving the movie a theatrical, VOD, and digital release sometime in early 2023.

Sometimes you just need a simple monster movie. Look, I watch a lot of horror and genre pics, and I love it when they stretch themselves beyond the boundaries of the genre. I love when filmmakers attempt to use the building blocks of horror and rework them into new, unique shapes. But I also love it when someone says, "You know what? I'm gonna make a simple monster movie." And that's what makes the silly, unhinged "Kids vs. Aliens" so enjoyable.

Directed by "Hobo With a Shotgun" helmer Jason Eisener, "Kids vs. Aliens" will no doubt draw comparisons to "Stranger Things" with its story of kids butting up against the supernatural (there's even a scene when they all get on their bikes!). But as enjoyable as "Stranger Things" can be, it's sanitized. That can't be said for "Kids vs. Aliens," which gleefully embraces gore and danger to emulate the type...

"We should have a party." Oh yesss, here we go!! From the filmmaker behind Treevenge and Hobo with a Shotgun comes Kids vs. Aliens, his latest wild and crazy indie horror project.

A trailer for the latest film from "Hobo With A Shotgun" director Jason Eisener has just dropped ahead of its Fantastic Fest debut, and so far, "Kids Vs. Aliens" looks like an entertaining Halloween party from hell. Or, more accurately, from space: the new film follows a boy and his teen sister when their classic coming-of-age escapades are interrupted by alien invaders.

The world premiere for "Kids Vs. Aliens" will take place at Fantastic Fest tonight, so keep an eye out for /Film's review coming very soon. In the meantime, though, you can also check out the brief first teaser, which crams a whole lot of screams into its less-than-30-second runtime.

Eleven years have passed since director Jason Eisener brought us Hobo with a Shotgun (watch it Here), and while we have had other pieces of Eisener entertainment to watch since then – he contributed segments to the anthologies The ABCs of Death and V/H/S/2, and also directed the series The Dark Side of the Ring – we haven’t gotten another Eisener feature film. Until now. Eisener’s new film Kids vs. Aliens is set to premiere at Fantastic Fest later this month, and it has also secured distribution beyond that.
