- DirectorOz PerkinsStarsRuth WilsonPaula PrentissBob BalabanA young nurse takes care of an elderly author who lives in a haunted house.Meh. Cool aesthetic, but no foundation. The story was non-existent, and I know that's not what we're looking for when we go to see a horror film, but there has to be something we can latch onto.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsJohn Gallagher Jr.Kate SiegelMichael TruccoA deaf and mute writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window.Great movie! Like A Quiet Place, but more horror elements. Great use of sound and of lack of sound. They got through exposition efficiently and effectively, and the first scene with the killer is phenomenal!
- 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.Pretty good. Slow build type film with a good ending. The creature design was amazing. Normally I'm disapointed when a film shows the monster in its entirety, but this was worth it. Very cool!
- DirectorDarren Lynn BousmanStarsDonnie WahlbergBeverley MitchellFranky GA detective and his team must rescue 8 people trapped in a factory by the twisted serial killer known as Jigsaw.Like the first Saw with a larger budget. I thought it was more intense, personally, although I wish there were more contraptions rather than pits full of needles. That scene was amazing though, at least in the unrated version. Overall, great!
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.The practical effects in this movie astound me. They're terrifying and so amazing. Good story about paranoia and distrust among a group of people, and the ending couldn't have been better.
- DirectorDavid F. SandbergStarsTeresa PalmerGabriel BatemanMaria BelloRebecca must unlock the terror behind her little brother's experiences that once tested her sanity, bringing her face to face with a supernatural spirit attached to their mother.One of my favorite horror films. Great story, great acting (for the most part), great concept, and very well executed. Diana still haunts me occasionally, and that's exactly what I want when I watch scary movies.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsKate BosworthThomas JaneJacob TremblayA couple adopt an orphaned child whose dreams - and nightmares - manifest physically as he sleeps.Better than I expected for sure! I thought that the story was great, and although the ending wasn't up to what I had hoped, it still had me satisfied.
- DirectorPhilip KaufmanStarsDonald SutherlandBrooke AdamsJeff GoldblumWhen strange seeds drift to earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade San Francisco, replicating the city's residents one body at a time.Those last 10 seconds. That's all I have to say.
- DirectorDrew GoddardStarsKristen ConnollyChris HemsworthAnna HutchisonFive college friends head out to a remote cabin for a getaway, but things don't go as planned when they start getting killed. They soon discover that there is more to the cabin than it seems.This film is a masterpiece. I always say that good horror needs good comedy, and this film had an excellent blend of both. I love post-modern stuff, so it's like they wrote this just for me. Good amount of tension mixed with self-referential humor and inside jokes among long time horror viewers. Great stuff, highly recommend.
- DirectorKeenen Ivory WayansStarsAnna FarisMarlon WayansAntony AckerFour teens are tricked by a professor into visiting a haunted house for a school project.Meh. It had some good comedy, and some comedy that just didn't work well for me. Some parts were clever, and some parts felt too over the top, even for a series that is supposed to be over the top.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsRod TaylorTippi HedrenJessica TandyA wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people.
