31. Circle City Supernatural - I try to pick something that looks special for Halloween every year, and this year I decided to try this no budget anthology horror movie I saw recommended on the Horror Reddit community. My love for anthology horror has lead me to watch some real crap over the years, but this was a fun little movie. With no blood, no ( Read more... )

29. Lake Mungo - The horror community at large seems to have a giant boner for this movie, and I. Just. Do. Not. Understand. Why. It’s not a terrible movie. The acting is good, and the documentary style really does feel genuine. But I’ve seen it hyped up for years as one of the darkest, most dread-filled movies ever, and it’s just not. More power ( Read more... )

26. Totally Killer - This. THIS. ALL OF THIS. This might actually tie with Tucker and Dale Vs Evil for my favorite horror comedy now. I love Kiernan Shipka from Sabrina, and she was awesome in this. The movie was just an absolute blast from start to finish. Mean Girls + Happy Death Day + Scream = Cannot recommend it enough!

23. The Current Occupant - One of the better entries in Hulu’s Into The Dark series. Is there a real conspiracy or is he just crazy is a trope I enjoy, and the lead actor managed to play it in a way that really did keep you guessing the whole time.

20. Relic - Very slow burn, but very effective. Horror as a metaphor for disease and decay isn’t a new concept, but Relic did a great job with it. The whole disorienting aspect of the house worked really well too.

17. Smile - You know, sometimes I just really enjoy jump scares. The unblinking smiles are creepy as hell, and the acting was good. This movie actually reminded me a lot of a MUCH better version of It Follows. That movie felt like a good concept that deeply needed editing because the runtime was about 45 minutes too long. Smile was a much tighter ( Read more... )

I’m a bit behind on my countdown this month due to my fabulous Maine vacation, but I’m back and ready for some double and triple features to catch up!

14. Things Heard and Seen - This definitely feels more like a thriller with supernatural elements than a horror movie, but Netflix miscategorized it, not me, so I’m counting it. Decent haunted house ( Read more... )

12. Renfield - Anyone who’s been reading these posts for awhile knows that I LOVE horror comedies. I’ve really enjoyed Nicholas Hoult in everything I’ve seen him in so far, and he was fabulous as Renfield. I absolutely hate when Nicolas Cage tries to play a normal person in a movie, but when he embraces the batshit, it’s glorious. Also, I will ( Read more... )

10. No One Gets Out Alive - This one was recommended by Tressler Bowman and I really enjoyed it. I was super excited when I saw it was based on a book by Adam Nevill because “The Ritual” is absolutely a 5 star movie for me. While I didn’t absolutely adore this as much as that one, it was a solid gothic horror.

9. The Cursed - Really liked this one! This actually wasn’t even on my list, but as I was scrolling through Hulu to get to the one I was planning to watch today this caught my eye. I adore a good period horror movie, and this was a gem. Not the most unique of storylines, but it was well-acted and the monster was pretty good for what I’m assuming is ( Read more... )
