HIM Review: Extreme Football Horror Has A Reach That Exceeds Its Grasp

Tyriq Withers as Cameron Cade in heat vision in HIM.

It’s perhaps a bit odd to note, but I feel as though I’ve been on a real hot streak in 2025 when it comes to my most anticipated new horror movies – which is to say that I have consistently found my expectations either met or exceeded by the scary films to which I’ve been most looking forward. It started very early in the year with Drew Hancock’s Companion offering up great surprises and some wicked tonal gymnastics, and I’ve been shocked and/or overjoyed by many incredible cinematic experiences since then, with the standout titles including The Monkey, Sinners, The Rule Of Jenny Pen, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Bring Her Back, 28 Years Later, Together, Weapons, and The Long Walk.
