- RegistaJennifer KentStelleEssie DavisNoah WisemanDaniel HenshallUna madre rimasta vedova dopo la morte violenta del marito in un incidente, deve combattere con la paura del figlio di un mostro che si nasconde all'interno della loro casa.A slam dunk classic! Brilliantly made psychological horror and a step above the vast majority of modern horror films. The slow pace will put off some, but if you go in knowing you won't get a thrill-a-minute jumpscare marathon you'll probably love this.
- RegistaAlexandre AjaStelleDaniel RadcliffeJuno TempleMax MinghellaAll’indomani della misteriosa morte della sua ragazza, un giovane si sveglia e trova strane corna che gli spuntano dalla fronte.Seems to divide opinion a little, but I absolutely loved this film! Just the right amount of mystery, horror, comedy and general quirkiness to really stand out. It may be too light on horror for some, but I can't help but recommend it.
Released in the US in October 2014. - RegistaMike FlanaganStelleKaren GillanBrenton ThwaitesKatee SackhoffUna donna tenta di dimostrare l'innocenza del fratello, condannato per omicidio, cercando prove che il delitto è stato commesso da una forza soprannaturale.Another nice surprise, I wasn't expecting such a strong psychological aspect from this film. Combined with some really creepy moments, an intriguing mystery, solid acting and top tier production values, this is easy to recommend.
Released in the US in April 2014 - RegistiDerek LeeClif ProwseStelleClif ProwseDerek LeeMichael GillDue migliori amici vedono il loro viaggio di una vita prendere una piega oscura quando uno di loro è colpito da una misteriosa afflizione.An absolutely brilliant spin on the "virus" sub-genre of films, and if you're expecting just another zombie film you should be pleasantly surprised by this! I won't give anything away, just make sure you check this out!
Released in the US in April 2014. - RegistaAnthony DiBlasiStelleJuliana HarkavyJoshua MikelHank StoneIl primo turno di un poliziotto novellino che lavora da solo l'ultima notte di chiusura di una stazione di polizia, si trasforma in un incubo vivente.Essential viewing for any fan of Clive Barker. A good, well made, full-on horror film with a great ending. Starts slow, but builds up the tension really well and is very satisfying once things get going. I gave it extra marks for the Clive Barker vibe, but this should hit the spot for most horror fans.
- RegistaJeff BaenaStelleAubrey PlazaDane DeHaanJohn C. ReillyLa ragazza recentemente scomparsa di un giovane torna misteriosamente dalla morte, ma lui si rende conto lentamente che non è come la ricordava.Funny and, I daresay, even heartwarming! A zombie film with a romanic spin that surprisingly doesn't suck. Might be too slow for some, but I thought it was great.
- RegistaJim MickleStelleMichael C. HallSam ShepardDon JohnsonQuando un padre protettivo incontra un omicida ex detenuto, entrambi devono deviare dal cammino che stanno percorrendo poiché presto si trovano in una spirale discendente di bugie e violenza di fronte alla propria psiche interiore.More of a thriller than traditional horror, but it does contain many horror tropes and the retro aesthetic should help this appeal to the vast majority of horror fans. Good film.
- RegistaGerard JohnstoneStelleMorgana O'ReillyRima Te WiataGlen-Paul WaruUna giovane donna è costretta a tornare alla sua casa d'infanzia essendo agli arresti domiciliari, ma lei sospetta che qualcosa di cattivo si aggiri nella casa stessa.Really good thriller/horror with a dash of humour. Top marks on every front. Great ending, too.
- RegistaAdam RobitelStelleJill LarsonAnne RamsayMichelle AngUn’anziana donna che combatte contro l'Alzheimer accetta di lasciare che una troupe cinematografica documenti la sua malattia. Nel corso delle riprese, però, emerge qualcosa di molto più sinistro.This was a really nice surprise! After years of generic "possession" films, this comes along and blows the vast majority of them out of the water. Extremely well made with solid acting all around, but the stunning lead performance by Jill Larson is the real draw here.
It's a found-footage film, so be warned if that's not your bag.
...the final scene has become almost legendary since its release! Just wait for it. - RegistaGonzalo López-GallegoStelleSharlto CopleyThomas KretschmannJosie HoUn uomo si sveglia nel deserto, in una fossa piena di cadaveri, senza ricordi e deve determinare se l'assassino è uno degli estranei che lo ha salvato, o se è lui stesso.A rare sight - a really good modern zombie film! Doesn't feel tired or generic like a lot of zombie films do these days. Well acted, an intriguing mystery, good zombies, some really tense moments - it fires on all cylinders!
Released in the US in January 2014. - RegistaKarl MuellerStelleJon FosterSarah JonesMark StegerA young couple moves to the woods and soon finds their nightmares and reality colliding.Hmmm... Some people really don't seem to like this! :)
I thought it was fantastic and a breath of fresh air in the found-footage genre. The first half of the film is pretty standard horror fare, but things get really weird in the second half - it's a real mind-bender! If you like found-footage films and / or Lovecraftian, alternate dimensional weirdness I can't help but recommend it!
Released in May 2014 - RegistiKevin KölschDennis WidmyerStelleAlexandra EssoeAmanda FullerNoah SeganUna giovane attrice piena di speranza scopre le minacciose origini dell'élite di Hollywood e conclude un accordo mortale in cambio di fama e fortuna.One of the better horror films from 2014. Nasty, strange and unforgettable - it plays on the disturbing underside of Hollywood brilliantly. It's even more poignant since the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke.
- RegistaJames DeMonacoStelleFrank GrilloCarmen EjogoZach GilfordTre gruppi di persone si intrecciano e vengono lasciati in strada durante la notte dello Sfogo. Dovranno cercare di sopravvivere al caos e alla violenza che hanno luogo.The first Purge film had a great concept but failed to give audiences what they were expecting. This sequel, however, got everything right. Yeah, it's very silly, but if you just want some entertaining popcorn fodder you can't really go wrong with this. It's campy, OTT nature makes me think of it as an 'Escape From New York' for a new generation.
Even its ham fisted social-political commentary is enjoyable in it's earnestness! - RegistaStephen SommersStelleAnton YelchinAshley SommersLeonor VarelaIn una città deserta della California, un cuoco di breve corso con abilità chiaroveggenti incontra un uomo misterioso legato a delle forze oscure e minacciose.Very entertaining comedy-horror starring the late Anton Yelchin. Could be a bit light for some hardcore horror fans, but this should be a good nights viewing for most folks.
Released int he US in February 2014. - RegistaBrad AndersonStelleKate BeckinsaleJim SturgessDavid ThewlisUn laureato all'università di Oxford inizia a lavorare in un manicomio e scopre che i nuovi trattamenti "rivoluzionari" utilizzati sono disumani e che la faccenda è più complessa di quello che sembra.A solid horror-mystery, a throwback to the style of film that you sadly don't see much anymore. May be too tame for gorehounds, but if you don't mind some quality PG-13 chills, give it a go!
- RegistaKevin GreutertStelleSarah SnookMark WebberJoelle CarterTornando nella sua casa d'infanzia in Louisiana per riprendersi da un orribile incidente d'auto, Jessabelle, si ritrova faccia a faccia con uno spirito che la tormenta da molto tempo fa e non ha intenzione di lasciarla scappare.
- RegistaTi WestStelleJoe SwanbergAJ BowenKentucker AudleyUn team di notizie segue un uomo mentre viaggia nel mondo di Eden Parish per trovare la sorella scomparsa, dove diventa evidente che questo paradiso potrebbe non essere come sembra.A not very subtle "retelling" of the Jonestown Massacre. I was really looking forward to this, and while it could have been better, by and large it's a good film and is definitely worth a watch.
Released in the US in May 2014. - RegistaAdam GreenStelleRay WiseAdam GreenWill BarrattUna troupe di documentari che esplora l'arte dei mostri viene contattata da un uomo che afferma di poter dimostrare che i mostri sono davvero reali.A really interesting found-footage film. If you've ever seen Clive Barker's 'Nightbreed' then you will probably dig this. The creature designs are the star here, just wish there were more of them!
- RegistaIvan KavanaghStelleRupert EvansAntonia Campbell-HughesHannah HoekstraLa sanità mentale di un archivista di film depresso e stressato inizia a vacillare quando gli viene consegnato una vecchia pellicola in 16 mm di un terribile omicidio avvenuto agli inizi del 1900.Pretty good mystery / drama / horror. Slow moving, but becomes more engaging as it goes on, so stick with it.
- RegistaRichard Bates Jr.StelleMatthew Gray GublerKat DenningsRay WiseCity-boy Raymond returns to his hometown and finds a vengeful ghost is terrorizing his house. Therefore, this man-child recruits Becca, a badass local bartender, to solve the mystery of the spirit threatening people's lives.Very enjoyable comedy-horror, it really delivers on the laughs. A great cast and some decent horror elements are icing on the cake.
- RegistaDaniel StammStelleMark WebberDevon GrayeTom BowerUn’enigmatica telefonata innesca un pericoloso gioco per Elliot, uno squattrinato addetto alle vendite. Il gioco promette ricompense crescenti a patto di portare a termine 13 compiti, uno più sinistro di quello precedente.A pretty decent remake of the South Korean cult classic. I prefer the original but this is good enough. Has a great premise that'll keep you watching just to see what he has to do next.
- RegistaAna Lily AmirpourStelleSheila VandArash MarandiMarshall ManeshNella città fantasma iraniana di Bad City, un luogo che puzza di morte e solitudine, i cittadini non si rendono conto di essere perseguitati da un vampiro solitario.A decent slow-burn that's deserving of a watch. I felt it was a tad overrated, however. Check out the trailer first to see if it's going to be your cup of tea.
NOTE: Not widely released until 2015 - RegistaJimmy WeberStelleMeggie MaddockAli FrancisJeremy MakeNovella McClure is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she's in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she hasn't landed a role in three years. To top it all off, she's developed a disturbing habit of eating her own flesh. Novella desperately tries to hide her strange condition from her motherly landlord, Eesha, and somewhat psychopathic best friend, Candice, but her body and mind continue to deteriorate in the depressing world of failed auditions and sketchy night clubs. Can a romantic relationship with her psychiatrist prevent her from self destruction? Or will her fatal habit continue to eat away at her?A similar set-up to Starry Eyes, but takes a very different direction. Pretty uncomfortable viewing so won't be for most folks, but if you want something that'll turn your stomach then this is it.
- RegistaBobby RoeStelleBrandy SchaeferZack AndrewsBobby RoeIn occasione delle festività di Halloween, un gruppo di amici intraprende un viaggio per visitare le case infestate del paese, ma ben presto si trova coinvolto in una serie di sinistri eventi.Will likely only appeal to fans of found footage films, as I doubt this will convert anyone to the genre. That said, if shaky-cam goodness is your bag then this should hit the spot.
- RegistaJeff ChanStelleAlexia FastLin ShayeAlan DaleGrace è una ragazza cattolica di diciotto anni la cui purezza è sopraffatta da una forza demoniaca. La consumerà?Not sure why this has got such a low rating, I thought it was pretty good! The POV aspect works well. Solid 7/10 territory, so I definitely recommend it.
