60 of 244 · most liked firstThere's a movie coming out on Shudder on October 23rd called The Cycle and i really need you to watch it as soon as it hits, and also do not look it up, or watch a trailer, or look at the poster even.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched The Cycle, a horror movie starring Deborah Ann Woll, and I knew almost nothing about it OH HOLY FUUUUU I was not expecting THAT! If you want a good horror movie, maybe check this one out?
positive · AI labelView post →we’re watching THE CYCLE (2026) and it’s ok/fun/watchable but it also feels important as the first movie I’ve seen in *years* that’s a 90s style whodunnit that easily could have been forced into an 8 episode series and instead is just a proper 110 min movie as god intended.
neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The Cycle-well done Yesterday-OK The Guest-Dan Stevens so that's enough You Can See Everything-excellent!
positive · AI labelView post →Watched The Cycle. Went in with high hopes, and holy fuck I was NOT let down If you're as disenchanted by CGI creature & horror effects as I am, this one's for you! It sounds silly, but my heart felt so FULL watching these lovingly crafted, gruesome practical effects 🥹❤️
positive · AI labelView post →Watched The Cycle tonight and this is a top 10 movie of the year for me! A forensic anthropologist becomes involved in case of epic proportions. Hit lots of points for me: a police investigation, relatable daddy issues lol, and great practical effects. One of the best werewolf movies imho.
positive · AI labelView post →against my better judgment watching a two hour long movie from 2026. that's right, i'm getting in sync with The Cycle

positive · AI labelView post →last night's horror watch was new Shudder movie THE CYCLE, which I was fortunate enough to know zippo about in advance. I recommend seeing it the same way. It's not that you've never seen a movie about [thing it's about], it's that the way it approaches it is neato and best appreciated as it happens
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's Movie - The Cycle This fucked so hard oh my god. Great practical effects and a wild experience from start to finish.
positive · AI labelView post →I love it when a surprise film sneaks into my top ten horror at the end of the year, and that’s what Jordan Downey’s The Cycle just did. A slow-burn nightmare that puts a fresh spin on a certain sub-genre and packs in stunning creature effects. Had my jaw hanging through the whole second half.
positive · AI labelView post →This month's Full Moon Feature at Werewolf News is about THE CYCLE, the brand new werewolf movie on Shudder that apparently doesn't want people to know it's a werewolf movie. But look at this guy. This is a werewolf. (And a great werewolf at that.) werewolf-news.com/2026/10/full...
neutral · AI labelView post →14th movie of Halloween: The Cycle (2026) | Better in the first half than the second, the central conceit is an ingenious extrapolation of existing lore, and while the turn is visible from a mile off, getting there is exquisite.
neutral · AI labelView post →Joining the chorus of folks saying THE CYCLE is a perfect Halloween movie! Great crime-turned-horror narrative and fantastic 80's style practical effects. Lucky enough to catch it on the big screen in Astoria last night!
positive · AI labelView post →And then I reviewed THE CYCLE... certifiedforgotten.com/the-cycle-re...
neutral · AI labelView post →I want to tell you that The Cycle is a great reimagining of the _____ myth -- or that it's like if David Fincher directed a _____ movie -- but I'm going to hold back, because I went in blind, and so should you. Currently screaming -- I mean, streaming -- on @shudder.com
positive · AI labelView post →been a big couple of days for me, but I need to get a movie in. nw… The Cycle (2026)
neutral · AI labelView post →Love the reveal in THE CYCLE, but I disagree with folks calling it a twist. Feels every bit like a natural progression that the film builds to, and it's something most horror fans should pick up on very early into the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →New #BloodSplatteredVlog! 📽️ This week The Horror Guru & Count Jackula review The Cycle! A police procedural horror movie about a forensic anthropologist who must solve the mystery surrounding her father's corpse. #FilmSky #MovieSky #HorrorSky #Horror youtu.be/UPL4pLzog48
neutral · AI labelView post →"The Cycle" (2026) is a really fun horror film - go in knowing as little as possible! 🫣 The poster tells you enough - Mrs True Blood & Mr Burn Notice made a film for Shudder. Wild ride seeing where it goes from there! #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching The Cycle (2026)! 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →I wasn't as impressed by The Cycle as some...but Deborah Ann Woll is brilliant in it. Every minute she's on screen, the movie triples in quality. I want a Broadchurch/Happy Valley style detective series with her as the lead.
neutral · AI labelView post →NW: The Cycle (2026) Let’s see what’s up with this one. #filmsky #horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →The only reason The Cycle won't be my Movie of the Weekend is because it happened to share it with You Can See Everything hitting my town. Scottie Pippen snubbed once again by sharing the court with a once in a generation talent.
positive · AI labelView post →Man y'all were right. The Cycle is a real stunner of a film. Just well done on all fronts, from set up to execution to effects to denoument. Really great work from Jordan Downey, Patrick Magee, Trevor Newlin, and of course Woll and Donovan. If you haven't watched it yet, do so!
positive · AI labelView post →#Horror #Film The Cycle Cool movie on shudder great for the season. Physical special effects throughout; I even spotted a little stop motion. 💚 Goodbye shudder been nice to know you.

neutral · AI labelView post →New episode of @certifiedforgotten.com is up and we talkin' THE CYCLE, a movie I knew @monagle.bsky.social would love the second I left my Fantastic Fest screening.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the few lessons I've held onto from my FSR days is to try to have different writers handle reviews and interviews for a film. So when I got the chance to talk to Jordan Downey about THE CYCLE - coming next week! - I knew I needed to get @fakerobhunter.bsky.social to sing its praises.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Cycle for movie 94 in #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days - I still have time to finish! - and like folks have said, it IS good, and you SHOULD go into blind, but, the twist isn't THAT hard to figure out. It's still a good twist though!

positive · AI labelView post →#TheCycle 2026 on @shudder.com This movie kind of f*cked me up😱 youtu.be/rLFb6R1atMQ?...
positive · AI labelView post →You know a movie is proud of it's effects work and understands how vital they were for the film when the very first, singular credit that pops up right when it ends is specifically, and only, for the practical effects artist. Everyone go check out the movie "The Cycle" which just released.
positive · AI labelView post →Free showing Saturday night in Astoria of new horror movie The Cycle that was shot on location there. Who wants to hitchhike out to the coast with me under a nearly full moon? 🔗: libertyastoria.showare.com/eventperform...
neutral · AI labelView post →Looking for something to watch this weekend? The Cycle is on @shudder.com! Check out my review over on Horror Movie Blog!
neutral · AI labelView post →“The Cycle” is one intense film. Mashes together a police procedural with a “Silence of the Lambs” atmosphere and an all-out terrifying monster movie with incredible practical effects. One of the most interesting films I’ve seen this year. 
positive · AI labelView post →#tokentober day 30: Food Catching up. Low light because spooky movie time. Currently watching The Cycle.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Cycle tonight and it rules.
positive · AI labelView post →102. The Cycle (2026) This was so freaking good! #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days
positive · AI labelView post →Holy shit. I cannot recommend The Cycle (2026) enough. Best horror film I've seen this month (at 28 movies now!). Don't look anything up aside from this brief synopsis. "A forensic anthropologist unravels her father's past after his body is found at a horrific crime scene." 10 outta fucking 10!
positive · AI labelView post →The Cycle is frankly too good to be a Shudder movie. I should've been able to see that in a theatre.
positive · AI labelView post →I haven't said anything about Telluride Horror Show! It was really good this year! My favorites were the Cycle, River, and Ithaqua, but honestly there wasn't a bad film at all, at least of the ten we watched over the weekend. Also got to say hi in passing to @hauntedmeg.bsky.social! #Horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched a trailer for an upcoming movie called The Cycle and it looks incredible? youtu.be/m8vcBN8uza8?...
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t think I’ve mentioned them, but I can’t recommend enough the two movies I saw at film festival in Healdsburg this past summer: My Old Ass and The Cycle of Love. Two of my favorite films I’ve seen this year.
positive · AI labelView post →Our @lovehorrorqueen.bsky.social is here with our first review out of @imaginefff.bsky.social and it’s The Cycle!! horrormovieblog.com/the-cycle-im...

positive · AI labelView post →Movie #20: THE CYCLE (2026), dir. Jordan Downey Viewing History: First time watch Where I'm Watching: AMC+/Shudder
neutral · AI labelView post →The Cycle on Shudder is a really fuckin' cool horror movie about which i will say nothing more so as to not even spoil the sub-genre.
positive · AI labelView post →No Green Screens, Just Blood: The Cycle Trailer Delivers Pure Practical Horror. Read all about it and watch the trailer on The Cult Archives. #horror #horrormovies #horrorfilm #horrorsky #horrorcommunity
neutral · AI labelView post →i love the film he opens with as an example which was one of the most egregious uses of CGI slop I have seen in horror film in the past couple of years. Could not agree more. Horror must be tactile. Even films that didn’t wow me like The Cycle - glad to see embrace of practical effects #horror

neutral · AI labelView post →411. The Cycle (2026), directed by Jordan Downey, first time viewing Solid horror movie that starts as a slow burn police procedural and slowly introduces more overt supernatural elements and has a good final third. The rare pretty good Shudder original!
positive · AI labelView post →On the bright side another set designer for a horror movie was in. Working on something coming next year. We chatted about The Backrooms and I got to recommend him The Cycle as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →watched The Cycle. 1) if they'd mentioned in the marketing it's the same director who did the stork from VHS it would've gotten so many more people involved. It is very much a Him movie 2) the twist is so ridiculous I don't know if I can recommend it in good conscience
neutral · AI labelView post →He also made a CRITTERS fan film and put Don Keith Opper in THE CYCLE, so he has my allegiance at this point. If I ever met him, all I'd want to do is talk CRITTERS pitches, especially since he knows Charlie.
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching The CYCLE (2026) on Shudder via YouTube. @stephenking.bsky.social speaks highly of this film #HorrorSky
positive · AI labelView post →The Cycle is severely held back by being a Cop Movie. Everything it does well is cast in this weird vibe, like the same kind of vibe of satanic panic christian Pureflix vibe. Makes it feel less like good spooky fun and more like being brainwashed.
