- DirectorOlatunde OsunsanmiStarsMilla JovovichElias KoteasWill PattonA thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up.This scared the liver out of me, and I love the Twin-Peaks-but-MUCH-scarier vibe to the setting/happenings
- DirectorGeorge SluizerStarsBernard-Pierre DonnadieuGene BervoetsJohanna ter SteegeRex and Saskia, a young couple in love, are on vacation. They stop at a busy service station and Saskia is abducted. After three years and no sign of Saskia, Rex begins receiving letters from the abductor.This movie has given me a perverse preference for the name Saskia now. Watch it and you'll see why. Uber dark.
- DirectorDavid Robert MitchellStarsMaika MonroeKeir GilchristOlivia LuccardiA young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter.Super original; will get your heart rate up. The monster, nebulous and somewhat mythical, is not to be missed

- DirectorJennifer KentStarsEssie DavisNoah WisemanDaniel HenshallA single mother and her child fall into a deep well of paranoia when an eerie children's book titled "Mister Babadook" manifests in their home.Unbelievably creepy Australian film carrying on the amazing Aussie scares.

Matters start to go awry when she slowly discovers the true nature of her family.Malcolm McDowell at peak creep; Nastassja Kinski just being her wonderful self; John Heard at peak 'would-hit-it;' skeevy supernatural premise. What's not to love?
