20 Most Anticipated Horror Movies Of 2027
12. The Boy in the Iron Box
The Boy in the Iron Box is an adaptation of the supernatural horror novella series of the same name from bestselling author Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro, centered around a plane-full of mercenaries which crash-lands on a remote snowy summit.
There they discover a maze-like stone fortress, which houses an uncanny terror that threatens the squad's survival.
The cast will be led by Rupert Friend and Kevin Durand, while Jaeden Martell plays the titular boy, but the real attention-grabber here is that the film is being written and directed by David Prior.
Prior is a David Fincher protege whose 2020 feature The Empty Man became something of a cult hit on streaming, and since then he's directed a terrific episode of Guillermo del Toro's Netflix horror anthology series Cabinet of Curiosities.
Reuniting Prior with del Toro seems like a sure-fire recipe for success, even if it's a shame that, with the film being a Netflix Original, few will get the opportunity to ever see it on the big screen.
