Let's Not Meet (2018)
Scary
This is a scary movie that deals with cults and a dark figure who is hunting down a group of very likable characters in the woods. What could be better than that? I love how this film feels, looks, and it plays out smooth and deliberately. This movie was released just in time for Halloween and it's all the better for it! I think we all know what it's like being out in a tent in the middle of nowhere. You can hear what's going on outside, and yet those walls are a false security. This movie really delves into a sense of both comfort and fear. It's terrific.
The Campus (2018)
I liked it
I liked this movie a lot. Horror is always best when it is smart and undefinable. This movie takes a few notes from other horror films but also does the impossible by making us think of it as something we have never seen before. Worth checking out.
The Dark Side of the Womb (2017)
Scary and funny in the best of ways
Very clever, sort of funny and scary at the same time. It's weird that a movie can mix chill with laughs but it works! This is a very respectable yet irreverent film that is really unlike ANYTHING I have seen before. The characters are beautifully crafted. The story...I don't know what to say here. It's wicked and lovely at the same time. The duality is something that is handled so well, I can't imagine everyone is going to get it. But for those who do, The Dark Side of the Womb is a very rewarding cinematic experience.
Chameleon Shadow (2017)
This could become a classic one day
I saw this film at a local theater and absolutely loved it. I later discovered this on a streaming service (I'm not sure I'm allowed to say which one) and watched it several more times. It definitely begs to be seen more than once because there is a lot of mystery that I didn't even notice until seeing it again. It's a fascinating movie and I even decided to raise my score from a 9 to a 10 after seeing it again. It's really all about a subject we can all relate to, the inner demons that we haunt ourselves with. Reality is at the core of this fantasy film, and I couldn't help but wonder if there is more going on here than perhaps we see (or maybe more than the director intended). No matter, because it's fun to ask ourselves if we can accept the strange happening as literal or perhaps symbolic. Maybe both!
