New Horror Movies and Shows To Watch This Week at Home or in Theaters, Including ‘Killer Raccoons 2’

From holiday-spoof chaos to dinosaur danger and dark fantasy, this week’s lineup leans into jump-scare energy, monsters, and thriller edges that horror fans often love. Below, you’ll find concise rundowns with plot hooks, key cast and creative leads, plus when and where you can watch them.

‘Killer Raccoons 2: Dark Christmas in the Dark’ (2019)

Writer–director Travis Irvine returns with a holiday-horror spoof about marauding, gun-toting raccoons wreaking seasonal havoc; the cast includes Yang Miller, Ron Lynch, and Tom Lyons. The sequel revives the cult gag of lethal woodland critters and pushes it into a cheerfully absurd, blood-splattered caper. Expect send-ups of action tropes, low-fi creature mayhem, and tongue-in-cheek carnage. Back in theaters on November 21, 2025.

‘Jurassic World: Chaos Theory’ (2024– )

Set after ‘Camp Cretaceous,’ this animated series follows the “Nublar Six” as they uncover a global conspiracy that endangers dinosaurs and humans alike; voice cast includes Paul-Mikél Williams, Sean Giambrone, Kausar Mohammed, Raini Rodriguez, Darren Barnet, and Kiersten Kelly. Developed by Scott Kreamer and Zack Stentz with showrunners Scott Kreamer and Aaron Hammersley, it’s produced by Universal Television, DreamWorks Animation Television, and Amblin Entertainment. Executive producers include Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall. The fourth and final season is set to hit Netflix on November 20, 2025.

‘The Mighty Nein’ (2025– )

Prime Video’s new animated series adapts Critical Role’s second campaign, centering on a chaotic band of adventurers in Exandria’s Wildemount whose exploits spiral into relic heists, arcane conspiracies, and monster-studded danger. The core Critical Role cast—Liam O’Brien, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Matthew Mercer—return to voice their characters, with guest stars such as Mark Strong, Alan Cumming, Ming-Na Wen, and Tim McGraw. Created by the Critical Role team, with showrunner Tasha Huo steering the adaptation. Premieres on Prime Video on November 19, 2025.

‘The Assassin’ (2025)

A brooding crime thriller about a retired assassin in Greece whose estranged son resurfaces, forcing mother and son into a perilous reckoning with buried secrets and violent enemies; stars Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore.

Created, written, and directed by Raj & DK with Suman Kumar among the writers and Suparn Verma contributing to later seasons, the series blends action, dark humor, and grounded family stakes. Frequent ensemble players include Sharib Hashmi, Sharad Kelkar, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Currently streaming on Prime Video.

‘The Blade Cuts Deeper’ (2024)

A media-skewering slasher about John Abbott, a narcissistic host of the true-crime show ‘Lights, Camera, KILL,’ whose exploitation finally draws the wrath of a grief-stricken avenger; written and directed by Gene Dolders with scripting by Dolders and A. J. Ballard. Produced by Gatton Films, Feisty Film, and Barber Green Digital CIC, the film leans into Giallo-style atmosphere and revenge-thriller beats.
