10. ‘Cobweb’ (2023)

A young boy named Peter hears persistent knocks and whispers from inside his bedroom walls, but his parents insist it’s only his imagination. As the noises intensify around Halloween, Peter uncovers a disturbing secret that turns his quiet suburban home into a claustrophobic nightmare. The film leans into gothic fairy-tale vibes and escalating dread rather than jump-a-minute shocks.

Directed by Samuel Bodin and written by Chris Thomas Devlin, ‘Cobweb’ stars Woody Norman as Peter, with Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr as his unnervingly controlling parents; Cleopatra Coleman appears as his teacher, Miss Devine. The American production was released by Lionsgate and runs 88 minutes.

9. ‘Shrek 2’ (2004)

After returning from their honeymoon, Shrek and Fiona visit Far Far Away to meet her royal parents, only to clash with the Fairy Godmother and her vain son, Prince Charming. The sequel expands the original’s fairy-tale spoof with a heist at the potion factory, a massive “I Need a Hero” set-piece, and a deeper look at Shrek’s insecurity about happily-ever-after.

‘Shrek 2’ was directed by Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury and Conrad Vernon. The voice cast features Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), Cameron Diaz (Fiona), Antonio Banderas (Puss in Boots), John Cleese and Julie Andrews as Fiona’s parents, with Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother and Rupert Everett as Prince Charming.

8. ‘Shrek’ (2001)

An ogre named Shrek teams up with the motor-mouthed Donkey to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower on behalf of the diminutive Lord Farquaad—only to discover that Fiona harbors a secret curse. The movie’s blend of fairy-tale parody, pop-culture humor and sincere romance launched one of animation’s most durable franchises.

Co-directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, ‘Shrek’ features Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona and John Lithgow as Lord Farquaad. DreamWorks Animation produced the film, which won the inaugural Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and grossed nearly half a billion dollars worldwide.

7. ‘Ice Road: Vengeance’ (2025)

Veteran ice-road trucker Mike McCann travels to the Himalayas to scatter his brother’s ashes, but the trip turns lethal when he crosses paths with armed mercenaries. The sequel shifts the series from arctic rigs to high-altitude peril, keeping the survival stakes and vehicular mayhem front and center.

Written and directed by Jonathan Hensleigh, ‘Ice Road: Vengeance’ brings back Liam Neeson as Mike, joined by Fan Bingbing and Bernard Curry, with music by Michael Yezerski and cinematography by Tom Stern. The film was produced by CODE Entertainment, ShivHans Pictures and others, and distributed by Vertical.

6. ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ (2025)

Set years after their formative fights, Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso cross paths through a new student who needs guidance, drawing together threads from both the 2010 film continuity and the ‘Cobra Kai’ era. Training montages, dojo politics and intergenerational mentorship collide as a new tournament looms.

Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber, ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ stars Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio alongside Ben Wang, with supporting roles for Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley and Ming-Na Wen. Produced by Columbia Pictures and Sunswept Entertainment, the film runs 94 minutes.

Directed by Janeen Damian and written by Nicole Henrich, ‘The Wrong Paris’ stars Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fodé, with Madison Pettis, Frances Fisher and Yvonne Orji in supporting roles. The Netflix-distributed romantic comedy runs 107 minutes and was produced by MPCA and Brad Krevoy Productions.

4. ’28 Years Later’ (2025)

A fresh outbreak of the Rage virus ripples across new corners of Britain, pulling survivors into another fight for life as society again teeters on collapse. The film expands the world introduced in ’28 Days Later’ and ’28 Weeks Later’ with new characters, set-pieces and a return to the franchise’s raw, run-and-gun intensity.

Produced and directed by Danny Boyle from a script by Alex Garland, ’28 Years Later’ stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell and Ralph Fiennes, with cinematography by Anthony Dod Mantle and music by Young Fathers. The UK-U.S. co-production was released by Sony Pictures Releasing.

3. ‘San Andreas’ (2015)

When a record-shattering earthquake devastates California, rescue-chopper pilot Ray Gaines must navigate collapsing cities and a tsunami to reunite his family. The film is packed with large-scale disaster sequences—from Hoover Dam to downtown San Francisco—grounded by a simple, propulsive rescue story.

Directed by Brad Peyton and written by Carlton Cuse from a story by Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore, ‘San Andreas’ stars Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Paul Giamatti and Ioan Gruffudd. Produced by New Line Cinema and released by Warner Bros., it grossed about $474–475 million worldwide.

1. ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ (2025)

Global K-pop sensations Rumi, Mira and Zoey lead double lives: idols by day, secret demon hunters by night, using their music—and some enchanted tech—to protect fans from supernatural threats. A rival boy band complicates their world tour and their mission, fueling showcase numbers and high-energy set-pieces across Seoul and beyond.

An animated musical urban-fantasy directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ features voice performances by Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong and Lee Byung-hun, with music by Marcelo Zarvos.
