Oh boy... this movie is nuts. But that’s the appeal, to be honest. There’s gross (really gross) body horror. There are strange, Suspiria-like machinations, centering on musicians Charlotte (Allison Williams)and Elizabeth (Logan Browning). There are several twists that play with your expectations and assumptions. That’s about all you should know bef...

She soon tracks down the tape and has only a few days to unravel the mystery. One of the few films that actually improves on ...
This is the film that launched a whole Conjuring universe, and it’s easy to see why. The Conjuring is most well-known for its jarring scenes which manage to stay grounded and realistic, especially “hide and clap” (you’ll get it when you see it). Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson give us compassionate protagonists to root for in the form of real-life ...
Ed and Lorraine are back in this story about “British Amityville.” This film ups the ante on jump scares and stakes — to the point of putting the couple in grave danger, as the entity haunting the family continues to torment them. Before you watch the third film, released this year, familiarize yourself with the two that came before it. Watch on Ne...
Patrick Wilson really knows how to lead a horror film. In addition to The Conjuring films, Wilson stars in Insidious— a supernatural horror that follows two parents (Wilson and Rose Byrne) as they take drastic measures to prevent the evil spirits in their new home from possessing their comatose son (Ty Simpkins). This movie shook up the entire horr...

- Night Train to Terror (1985) Night Train to Terror is an odd, low-budget horror anthology that tells three bizarre, nightmarish tales with a wraparound story about God and Satan on a train.
- Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (1995) Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is an insane Evil Dead copycat from Japan, that manages to be very good in its own right thanks to its utterly charming low-budget ingenuity.
- Evil Dead 2 (1987) Evil Dead 2 is the second film in the Evil Dead franchise and one of the rare examples of a sequel that is even better than the original.
- Braindead (1992) Braindead, also known as Dead Alive, is one of director Peter Jackson’s earliest and best films. It’s a gory horror comedy about a man whose overprotective mother becomes a fast-decaying zombie.
