- DirectorSean ByrneStarsXavier SamuelRobin McLeavyJohn BrumptonWhen Brent turns down his classmate Lola's invitation to the prom, she concocts a wildly violent plan for revenge.9/10 An Aussie masterpiece. If you can handle some in-your-face gore/torture you must watch this. The acting is incredible, the story is so smart and touching ... and *beep* terrifying.
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.9/10 - a movie with a fantastic script and cast that highlights a lot of different kinds of scares.
- DirectorNeil MarshallStarsShauna MacdonaldNatalie MendozaAlex ReidA caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.9/10 - a rare female ensemble cast! Genre-bending terror with twist after twist.
- DirectorGreg McLeanStarsNathan PhillipsCassandra MagrathKestie MorassiThree backpackers stranded in the Australian outback are plunged inside a hellish nightmare of insufferable torture by a sadistic psychopathic local.8/10 based on a really, really true story
- DirectorJames WatkinsStarsKelly ReillyMichael FassbenderTara EllisRefusing to let anything spoil their romantic weekend break, a young couple confront a gang of loutish youths with terrifyingly brutal consequences.8/10
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.8/10 Often found in someone's list of 'top 3 most *beep* up horror movies ever'. It's pretty brutal. And a lot of it is animal stuff. The original found footage horror film, exploitative, a post colonial theory playground.
- DirectorDavid MoreauXavier PaludStarsOlivia BonamyMichaël CohenAdriana MoccaLucas and Clementine live peacefully in their isolated country house, but one night they wake up to strange noise... they're not alone... and a group of hooded assailants begin to terrorize them throughout the night.8/10 I hear this is what inspired The Strangers.
- DirectorAdam WingardStarsSharni VinsonJoe SwanbergAJ BowenWhen the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.8/10
- DirectorBryan BertinoStarsScott SpeedmanLiv TylerGemma WardA young couple staying in an isolated vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants.8/10
- DirectorAlexandre AjaStarsCécile de FranceMaïwennPhilippe NahonBest friends Marie and Alexia decide to spend a quiet weekend at Alexia's parents' secluded farmhouse. But on the night of their arrival, the girls' idyllic getaway turns into an endless night of horror.8/10 It would be higher on the list if it wasn't a rip off of Dean Koontz's book Intensity. But it's well made and very scary. Aja has done a lot of referential or remake work but this is among his best.
- DirectorRobert WieneStarsWerner KraussConrad VeidtFriedrich FeherHypnotist Dr. Caligari uses a somnambulist, Cesare, to commit murders.8/10
- DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.8/10 must see Holy *beep* A timely and poignant freshman directorial effort from Jordan Peele (Key and Peele). A little slow to warm up and a few cliché and predicable plot points for seasoned horror fans. Once it starts heading down the intended trajectory though the tension is palpable. I literally had to ask myself if I was having a panic attack when things started to heat up. Killer performances from Daniel Kaluuya and friend to horror Caleb Landry Jones (Antiviral and The Last Exorcism). A perfect ending that sends the message Peele's film was meant to, in a way only he could. Moments of hilarity. Let yourself squirm with a dozen kinds of discomfort and terror. This has never been done and we needed it badly in 2017. Do not miss this movie.
- DirectorZev BermanStarsBrian PresleyJake MuxworthyRider StrongOn a trip to a Mexican border town, three college friends stumble upon a human-sacrifice cult.8/10
- DirectorTomas AlfredsonStarsKåre HedebrantLina LeanderssonPer RagnarOskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl.8/10 A rare combination of sweet and scary

- DirectorBruce McDonaldStarsStephen McHattieLisa HouleGeorgina ReillyA radio host interprets the possible outbreak of a deadly virus which infects the small Ontario town he is stationed in.8/10 I can't ruin it by telling you why it's so great this is a scary movie for your friends who like semiotics (theory nerds)
- DirectorScott GlossermanStarsNathan BaeselAngela GoethalsZelda RubinsteinThe next great killer and psychopath has given a documentary film crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the quiet town of Glen Echo.8/10 funny, clever and scary

- DirectorDanny PhilippouMichael PhilippouStarsAri McCarthyHamish PhillipsKit Erhart-BruceWhen a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.7/10 must see probably my favorite scare of 2023 so far Aussie teen scream about channeling the dead and what could possibly go wrong *there is some animal stuff you may not want to see
- DirectorDaina ReidStarsSarah SnookLily LaTorreNeil MelvilleSarah Snook plays a fertility doctor who believes firmly in life and death, but after noticing the strange behavior of her young daughter, she must challenge her own values and confront a ghost from her past.6/10 now streaming on Netflix Aussie psychological horror about a mother and young daughter well acted and interesting but the ending is imperfect
- DirectorMatt Bettinelli-OlpinTyler GillettStarsCourteney CoxMelissa BarreraJenna OrtegaIn the next installment, the survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City.6/10 Recommend- if you enjoy the tropes that Scream has to offer this is scarier than the re-quel and has some great callback themes to Scream 2- the best Scream. A couple original ideas for the franchise.
- DirectorRoxanne BenjaminStarsAlisha WainwrightAmanda CrewCarlos SantosA family takes a weekend trip with longtime friends and their two young children, but, they suspect something supernatural when the kids behave strangely after disappearing into the woods overnight.5/10 Seems like a remake of Here Comes the Devil (2012?) a run of the mill kids being creepy movie
- DirectorParker FinnStarsSosie BaconJessie T. UsherKyle GallnerAfter witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an uncanny entity.6/10
- DirectorKyle Edward BallStarsLucas PaulDali Rose TetreaultRoss PaulTwo children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished.4/10 So dumb almost impossible to watch (on purpose) quite boring I really wanted there to be some redeeming quality here but there isn't unless maybe you are very afraid of toys
- DirectorGerard JohnstoneStarsAllison WilliamsViolet McGrawRonny ChiengA robotics engineer at a toy company builds a life-like doll that begins to take on a life of its own.5/10 It's PG-13 but they have a couple interesting kills, pretty silly from a practiced horror cast; Allison Williams and Violet McGraw
- DirectorZach CreggerStarsGeorgina CampbellBill SkarsgårdJustin LongA woman staying at an Airbnb discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems.6/10 recommend the characters do everything wrong which makes it hard to root for them but it's very well acted
- DirectorMark MylodStarsRalph FiennesAnya Taylor-JoyNicholas HoultA young couple travels to a remote island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.6/10
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsJamie Lee CurtisAndi MatichakJames Jude CourtneyThe saga of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode comes to a spine-chilling climax in the final installment of this trilogy.4/10 hated it
- DirectorCarlota PeredaStarsLaura GalánRichard HolmesCarmen MachiAn overweight teen is bullied by a clique of cool girls poolside while holidaying in her village. The long walk home will change the rest of her life.7/10 Must see, surprising and sweet
- DirectorTi WestStarsMia GothDavid CorenswetTandi WrightIn 1918, a young woman on the brink of madness pursues stardom in a desperate attempt to escape the drudgery, isolation, and lovelessness of life on her parents' farm.8/10 must see Ti West's 2nd installment in the X trilogy (the prequel) is an origin story that's weird as all get out LOVED IT Mia Goth is the real deal I've never seen her so good
- DirectorLuca GuadagninoStarsTimothée ChalametTaylor RussellMark RylanceA young woman embarks on a 1000 mile odyssey through America where she meets a disenfranchised drifter. But all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand that will determine whether love can survive their otherness.6/10
- DirectorHanna BergholmStarsSiiri SolalinnaSophia HeikkiläJani VolanenA young gymnast, who tries desperately to please her demanding mother, discovers a strange egg. She hides it and keeps it warm, but when it hatches, what emerges shocks them all.7/10 weird and surprising
- DirectorHalina ReijnStarsAmandla StenbergMaria BakalovaMyha'laWhen a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game turns deadly in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong.6/10 horror light, a party movie with a body count and a tremendous twist made by women
- DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaKeke PalmerBrandon PereaThe residents of a lonely gulch in inland California bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.7/10 Must See I really enjoyed it. A brand new take on the idea of an alien movie. Another spectacular performance from Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer is a force of nature. See it in theaters twice.
- DirectorTi WestStarsMia GothJenna OrtegaBrittany SnowIn 1979, a group of young filmmakers set out to make an adult film in rural Texas, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the crew find themselves fighting for their lives.7/10 Must see. Ti West's best movie so far. Interesting scares, unexpected villainy.
- DirectorDan TrachtenbergStarsAmber MidthunderDakota BeaversDane DiLiegroNaru, a skilled warrior of the Comanche Nation, fights to protect her tribe against one of the first highly-evolved Predators to land on Earth.7/10 top 2 Predator movies an origin story capitalizing on the trend of first nations representation. Like horror Comanche Apocalypto
- DirectorNimród AntalStarsAdrien BrodyLaurence FishburneTopher GraceA group of elite warriors parachute into an unfamiliar jungle and are hunted by members of a merciless alien race.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsMason ThamesMadeleine McGrawEthan HawkeAfter being abducted and locked in a basement, a boy starts receiving calls on a disconnected phone from the killer's previous victims.6/10 Ethan Hawke was great but you can really tell it was a movie based on a short story. A lot of stuff really didn't matter at all, just filled in the time but added nothing to the plot. Hate to say that alcoholic abusive dad was ... 100% right? Is that a great message?
- DirectorMatt Bettinelli-OlpinTyler GillettStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid Arquette25 years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, Calif., a new killer dons the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town's deadly past.6/10 recommend very funny not as scary as previous Screams
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsThomasin McKenzieAnya Taylor-JoyMatt SmithAspiring fashion designer Eloise is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s, where she encounters dazzling wannabe singer Sandie. But the glamour is not as it seems, and the dreams of the past crack and splinter into something darker.6/10 recommend for a well made movie with pretty good acting but the twist didn't work for me
- DirectorNia DaCostaStarsYahya Abdul-Mateen IITeyonah ParrisNathan Stewart-JarrettA sequel to the horror film Candyman (1992) that returns to the now-gentrified Chicago neighborhood where the legend began.7/10 must see a perfect reinventing of the man, the myth, the legend.
- DirectorBernard RoseStarsVirginia MadsenXander BerkeleyTony ToddThe Candyman, a murderous soul with a hook for a hand, is accidentally summoned to reality by a skeptic grad student researching the monster's myth.
- DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntMillicent SimmondsCillian MurphyFollowing the events at home, the Abbott family now face the terrors of the outside world. Forced to venture into the unknown, they realize the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats lurking beyond the sand path.8/10
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsJamie Lee CurtisJudy GreerAndi MatichakSurviving victims of Michael Myers form a vigilante mob and vow to end his reign of terror.5/10 meh
- DirectorMcGStarsJudah LewisSamara WeavingJenna OrtegaTwo years after Cole survived a satanic blood cult, he's living another nightmare: high school. And the demons from his past? Still making his life hell.5/10 you'll benefit from seeing the Babysitter. Funny, not scary. Loved the Weaving cameo.
- DirectorWilliam EubankStarsEmily BaderRoland Buck IIIDan LippertMargot, a young woman who was abandoned by her mother as a baby, travels to a secluded Amish community with a documentary film crew seeking answers about her mother and extended family.
- DirectorMichael ChavesStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRuairi O'ConnorArne Cheyenne Johnson stabs and murders his landlord, claiming to be under demonic possession while Ed and Lorraine Warren investigate the case and try to prove his innocence.7/10
- DirectorEverardo GoutStarsAna de la RegueraTenoch HuertaJosh LucasAll the rules are broken as a sect of lawless marauders decides that the annual Purge does not stop at daybreak and instead should never end.
- DirectorAndy MuschiettiStarsJessica ChastainJames McAvoyBill HaderTwenty-seven years after their first encounter with the terrifying Pennywise, the Losers Club have grown up and moved away, until a devastating phone call brings them back.6/10 I didn't like it as much as the first. There are so many different things to keep track of it's no wonder they went with a miniseries. Mike met some native Americans, everyone lost their memories, they have to remember how the last chapter ended before we can end this one. It wasn't as scary as I hoped it would be. A couple jump scares and very little dread. Lots of Pennywise.
- DirectorAlexandre AjaStarsKaya ScodelarioBarry PepperMorfydd ClarkA young woman, while attempting to save her father during a category 5 hurricane, finds herself trapped in a flooding house and must fight for her life against alligators.6/10 the first original horror Aja has directed, this girl vs alligator thriller is fast paced and a lot of fun even if some of the dialog is kind of lame
- DirectorJ.D. DillardStarsKiersey ClemonsEmory CohenHanna Mangan LawrenceA woman washes ashore a small uninhabited island after an accident. The situation turns from bad to worse when she realizes there is a mysterious creature hunting at night.the 2nd girl VS beast/nature horror this year about a girl stranded on an island
- DirectorTate TaylorStarsOctavia SpencerDiana SilversJuliette LewisA lonely woman befriends a group of teenagers and decides to let them party at her house. Just when the kids think their luck couldn't get any better, things start happening that make them question the intention of their host.6/10 the previews seemed so lame but we should have known Spencer would make it good. A little predictable but worth the watch.
- DirectorRobert EggersStarsRobert PattinsonWillem DafoeValeriia KaramanTwo lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.5/10 Oof I get that hell is other people and their bodily fluids. This black and white arthouse about a pair of lighthouse keepers by sophomore directed Eggers dfoesn't actually ... go anywhere? Call me old fashioned but I think in a film something should happen.
- DirectorDan GilroyStarsJake GyllenhaalRene RussoZawe AshtonA thriller about the contemporary art scene of Los Angeles, where big money artists and mega-collectors pay a high price when art collides with commerce.6/10 if I have to choose an arthouse horror for this year it's this one. Fun performances, an interesting premise, and a solid build up to the finale.
- DirectorMatt Bettinelli-OlpinTyler GillettStarsSamara WeavingAdam BrodyMark O'BrienA bride's wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game.6/10 a VERY funny and enjoyable spooky film but not particularly scary. You could probably wait for it on Redbox. Adam Brody reprises the character of Seth Cohen as an adult in a familiar and comforting manner (or can he just not act?). Samara Weaving you may remember from the Babysitter where she was amazing, great here again.
- DirectorJosh LoboStarsScott PoythressAJ BowenSusan BurkeA man descends into paranoia after trapping what he believes to be the devil in his basement, but things take a dark turn when his family unexpectedly arrive for Christmas.5/10 I wanted to love this AJ Bowen movie but ultimately it would have been a decent 40 minute one-act but it was a ton of filler and pretty boring
- DirectorAndré ØvredalStarsZoe CollettiMichael GarzaGabriel RushIn 1968, the night of Halloween brings mayhem in a small town when a group of friends discovers a notebook written by a mysterious girl that foretells terrifying events.5/10 pretty lame for adults, might be cool for literal children who like scary movies
- DirectorGary DaubermanStarsVera FarmigaPatrick WilsonMckenna GraceWhile babysitting the daughter of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a teenager and her friend unknowingly awaken an evil spirit trapped in a doll.6/10 recommend see it in theaters If you enjoy the franchise you won't be disappointed by the latest installment that focuses on that room FULL of creepy haunted artifacts in Ed and Lorraine Warren's house.
- DirectorJordan PeeleStarsLupita Nyong'oWinston DukeElisabeth MossAdelaide Wilson and her family are attacked by mysterious figures dressed in red. Upon closer inspection, the Wilsons realize that the intruders are exact lookalikes of them.8/10 You must see Jordan Peele's new movie! I need to see it again to really get the full benefit but it's a carefully crafted movie full of varied scares and incredible acting. The story builds from a simple intruder at the vacation house story to an intense doppelganger chase and then things just get more bizarre from there. Peele is obviously a scholar of horror and his movie earns every moment of its ending.
- DirectorMichael ChavesStarsLinda CardelliniRaymond CruzPatricia VelasquezIgnoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm.5/10 meh
- DirectorChristopher LandonStarsJessica RotheIsrael BroussardPhi VuTree Gelbman discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead.5/10 I'm not mad but this is a LOT less scary than the first one. Way more sci-fi fantasy stuff.
- DirectorAri AsterStarsFlorence PughJack ReynorVilhelm BlomgrenA couple travels to Northern Europe to visit a rural hometown's fabled Swedish mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.5/10 meh but artsier
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsJamie Lee CurtisJudy GreerAndi MatichakLaurie Strode confronts her long-time foe, Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.6/10 it's a fun time, see it in theaters
- DirectorLuca GuadagninoStarsChloë Grace MoretzTilda SwintonDoris HickA darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.5/10 I really hated this trippy art-house remake
- DirectorRichard ShepardStarsMarie MaskellAllison WilliamsChristina JastrzembskaWhen troubled musical prodigy Charlotte seeks out Elizabeth, the new star pupil of her former school, the encounter sends both musicians down a sinister path with shocking consequences.7/10 new to Netflix check it out twists on twists
- DirectorGregory PlotkinStarsCynthea MercadoStephen ConroyAmy ForsythA masked serial killer turns a horror-themed amusement park into his own personal playground, terrorizing a group of friends while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show.5/10 teen scream about extreme haunted event where they are stalked by a masked stranger. Nice moments of gore, not excellent acting but Bex Taylor-Kraus is cool. Take it or leave it in theaters
- DirectorPanos CosmatosStarsNicolas CageAndrea RiseboroughLinus RoacheThe enchanted lives of a couple in a secluded forest are brutally shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their demon-biker henchmen, propelling a man into a spiraling, surreal rampage of vengeance.5/10 wtf did I just watch?
- DirectorCorin HardyStarsDemián BichirTaissa FarmigaJonas BloquetA priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.6/10 recommend The way this weaves back into the original Conjuring universe is interesting and the acting is strong. The themes of the tortured priest and redemption through solving this mystery is pretty played out.
- DirectorAlex GarlandStarsNatalie PortmanJennifer Jason LeighTessa ThompsonA biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply.6/10 it's not scary but it's interesting and I like the female ensemble cast of good actors
- DirectorAri AsterStarsToni ColletteMilly ShapiroGabriel ByrneA grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences.6/10 recommend A deft family drama well acted. after the death of her mother an artist's family is ripped apart by strange-bordering on the occult-tragedies. We struggle to determine if madness or metaphysical forces are at work.
if you like this check out A Dark Song - DirectorLee CroninStarsSeána KerslakeJames Quinn MarkeyKati OutinenA single mother living in the Irish countryside with her son begins to suspect he may not be her son at all, and fears his increasingly disturbing behavior is linked to a mysterious sinkhole in the forest behind their house.new to Hulu/Amazon 6/10 an interesting mystery
- DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntJohn KrasinskiMillicent SimmondsA family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.7/10 with an asterisk- It's a cool, original movie with neat creatures and tight direction. I love a movie where things go from bad to worse to worse but there were some obvious plot holes and I wish it was scarier. There were a couple effective jump scares but it could have been more suspenseful. That said, as a movie, it's awesome. As a horror movie, it leaves a little bit to be desired. It's PG-13 so you should know what to expect going in. No gore, pro-family message. Well-acted on all counts. Great job, Tuna.
- DirectorDaniel GoldhaberStarsMadeline BrewerPatch DarraghMelora WaltersAlice, an ambitious camgirl, wakes up one day to discover she's been replaced on her show with an exact replica of herself.6/10 a cool modern take on the sex industry with Handmaid's Tale star Madeline Brewer. It's scary in an unexpected way.
- DirectorAdam RobitelStarsLin ShayeLeigh WhannellAngus SampsonParapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainier faces her most fearsome and personal haunting yet, as she is drawn back to her ghostly childhood home where the terror began.6/10 Newly available to rent on Amazon. FINALLY they've given the people what we wanted all along from the Insidious franchise- more Lin Shaye. Yes to this older female lead carrying the whole movie. Yes to her awkward delightful sidekicks who continually sing her praise. This is a prequel that sheds light on Elise's gift and takes her back to where it all began.
- DirectorJohannes RobertsStarsChristina HendricksMartin HendersonBailee MadisonA family of four staying at a secluded mobile home park for the night are stalked and then hunted by three masked psychopaths.7/10 must see Everyone loved the Strangers andx this sequel-after a decade of waiting- lives up to the sadistic, chaotic original. This follows the killers from the first film as they terrorize a family in a deserted trailer park. A few scares that really made me jump-- even the ones you see coming are executed in a way that is pee-your-pants terrifying. Enjoy it in theaters.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsJennifer LawrenceJavier BardemEd HarrisA couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.6/10 which technically is a recommend so I guess see it so we can talk about it. A thrilling, tense, art film. Horror light. Darren Aronofsky's made another film where you see him just working his ass off and, for me, that's a turn off. Javier Bardem plays a poet and J Law his beautiful, uncomfortably young, wife. It's a film about the way women are used and useful in a man's world and the mania of self-obsession at the heart of the act of creation. It's interesting, strange, confusing, bloody, and anxiety inducing. If you kind of like this I highly recommend ANTICHRIST which is similar but better.
- DirectorGary J. TunnicliffeStarsDamon CarneyRandy WayneAlexandra HarrisDetectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiraling maze of horror that may not be of this world.3/10 not a seamless transition to a new franchise reboot
- DirectorAndy MuschiettiStarsBill SkarsgårdJaeden MartellFinn WolfhardIn the summer of 1989, a group of bullied kids band together to destroy a shape-shifting monster, which disguises itself as a clown and preys on the children of Derry, their small Maine town.7/10 must see it's worth seeing in theaters. This basically covers the entire childhood storyline but it takes place in the 80s. Fans of the book will probably enjoy this adaptation a lot more than fans of the Dark Tower enjoyed theirs. The child cast is strong, you'll recognize Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things. A little light on the scares. They did a good job is varying the kinds of scares, Pennywise was still the main attraction. Lotta lotta drooling.
- DirectorStephen SuscoStarsColin WoodellStephanie NoguerasBetty GabrielA teen comes into possession of a new laptop and soon discovers that the previous owner is not only watching him but will also do anything to get it back.5/10 the first one was better but this is pretty good too
- DirectorMichael SpierigPeter SpierigStarsMatt PassmoreTobin BellCallum Keith RennieBodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one suspect: John Kramer, the man known as Jigsaw, who has been dead for over 10 years.6/10 Just when you thought you were safe murders are happening again with all the trademarks of the dead killer himself. I didn't find any of the new games particularly exciting but the twists always deliver in a Saw movie.
- DirectorChristopher LandonStarsJessica RotheIsrael BroussardRuby ModineA college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again, in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity.6/10 really enjoyable little scare funny and sweet and spooky and clever
- DirectorTyler MacIntyreStarsBrianna HildebrandAlexandra ShippJack QuaidA twist on the slasher genre, following two death-obsessed teenage girls who use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small mid-western town into a frenzy, and cement their legacy as modern horror legends.6/10 I liked it
- DirectorBrian Frank ViscigliaStarsDavid WachsJessica SerfatyRonnie AlvarezTechnology brings us closer. Or perhaps it brings strangers, a little too close. But how much can you really trust someone? With a new ride share service, you never know who you'll be getting in a car with. Or if you'll ever get out.New on prime 5/10 it's interesting but pointless
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsWillem DafoeCharlotte GainsbourgStorm Acheche SahlstrømA grieving couple retreat to their cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage, but nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.7/10 YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE
A truly unique horror art piece about a couple struggling to connect and cope after the death of their child. Artsy and disturbing with moments that are truly horrific. - DirectorDavid BrucknerStarsRafe SpallArsher AliRobert James-CollierA group of old college friends reunite for a trip to a most dangerous country in Europe - Sweden, encountering a menacing presence there stalking them.6/10 NEw to Netflix. If you like this try Trollhunter or The Witch.
- DirectorNiels Arden OplevStarsElliot PageDiego LunaNina DobrevFive medical students, obsessed by what lies beyond the confines of life, embark on a daring experiment: by stopping their hearts for short periods, each triggers a near-death experience - giving them a firsthand account of the afterlife.6/10 more thriller than horror
- DirectorMickey KeatingStarsLauren Ashley CarterSean YoungBrian MorvantA lonely girl's violent descent into madness.6/10 recommend Netflix black and white short artsy
- DirectorKevin GreutertStarsDeborah Kara UngerBen SullivanChelsea RickettsSet in the 1980s, an estranged family hires a cult deprogrammer to take back their teenage son from a murderous cult, but find themselves under siege when the cultists surround their cabin, demanding the boy back.6/10 people don't really like this but I do it's about a cult deprogramming gone wrong
- DirectorJoe DietschLouie GibsonStarsMartin Dingle WallKen LallyKenny WormaldAn alcoholic drifter must battle withdrawal and psychotic rednecks after he becomes the target of a deranged sporting event.5/10 new to Netflix couple enjoyable themes of rehab gone wrong and purge-style murders
- DirectorAndy FowlerStarsSarah HesterPeter GessweinJed MaheuAfter her brother mysteriously vanishes from the Mexican desert, a young woman sets out to uncover the otherworldly truth about his disappearance.4/10 nothing special, distracting camera work
- DirectorJohannes RobertsStarsMandy MooreClaire HoltMatthew ModineTwo sisters vacationing in Mexico are trapped in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean. With less than an hour of oxygen left and great white sharks circling nearby, they must fight to survive.5/10 new to Netflix super average middling ocean horror
- DirectorChris PeckoverStarsOlivia DeJongeLevi MillerEd OxenbouldOn a quiet suburban street, a babysitter must defend a twelve-year-old boy from intruders, only to discover it's far from a normal home invasion.6/10 babysitter horror
- DirectorDan BushStarsJames FrancoScott HazeTaryn ManningTwo estranged sisters are forced to rob a bank in order to save their brother. But this is no ordinary bank.6/10 I like a movie that changes genres halfway through sort of interesting
- DirectorLiam GavinStarsSteve OramCatherine WalkerSusan LoughnaneA determined young woman and a damaged occultist risk their lives and souls to perform a dangerous ritual that will grant them what they want.new to Netflix 6/10 I really liked this weird supernatural scare full of hermetic mysticism a pretty original idea
- DirectorMcGStarsJudah LewisSamara WeavingRobbie AmellWhen Cole stays up past his bedtime, he discovers that his hot baby sitter belongs to a satanic cult that will stop at nothing to keep him quiet.new to Netflix not very scary but fun 6/10
- DirectorDavid F. SandbergStarsAnthony LaPagliaSamara LeeMiranda OttoTwelve years after the tragic death of their little girl, a doll-maker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, where they become the target of the doll-maker's possessed creation, Annabelle.7/10 I love the franchise this was much more on theme with Wan's Conjuring and the Conjuring 2. I'd say let's forget that Annabelle movie ever happened but they keep it as part of the storyline. This one has tight anticipation, relentless tension, and a strong kid-cast.

Then a desperate young family arrives seeking refuge.5/10 wait for it on Redbox. Taught psychological thriller throughout but man this was a big f-you to the audience. Great acting. The direction was disjointed, cinematography was awesome, script was frustrating to the point of pointlessness. If you cannot communicate your story successfully, it didn't work.
