Hereditary [2018]
Hereditary features a very well-thought-out story and incredible character development. This is not your usual jump-scare horror movie but a visceral and haunting tragedy with overwhelming black humor undertones.
Horror
Shadow in the Cloud [2020]
Flying high on a couple of great concepts, Shadow in the Cloud is a visually sleek but ultimately too disjointed affair that you should not take seriosly.
The Pack [2015]
To complete the list of animals that can attack and kill you in Australia, The Pack adds vicious and bloodthirsty wild dogs. This is an effective little horror movie featuring a family trapped on their farm by, you guessed it, a pack of wild dogs.
The House of the Devil [2009]
Moody and atmospheric, The House of the Devil is a slow-burning horror with extremely strong eighties vibes. Written and directed by very talented Ti West, The House of the Devil is not a horror movie for everybody.
The Dark Side Of The Moon [1990]
It’s the little things that I find amusing, like people smoking aboard a spaceship, a staple of the eighties and nineties science fiction movies. Plus a female android dressed in vinyl because it looks futuristic and not as a dominatrix.
The Babysitter [2017]
If you’re hungry for those old school and bloody slashers of the eighties, The Babysitter will satisfy all your murderous desires. It’s delightfully blood-squirting gory, sexy and pacy, with a lot of humor.
The Believers [1987]
The Believers is a slow-burner following an investigation about a series of ritualistic murders of children in New York and a man who got too close to the case.
Castle Freak [1995]
Gory, authentic, and unsettling, Castle Freak will exceed your expectation with well-developed characters, a tragic story, and an intense atmosphere.
Bad Moon [1996]
If you’re looking for odd and original movies about werewolves, look no further than Bad Moon that has it all plus awesome practical effects and make-up.
Down AKA The Shaft [2001]
If you or anyone you know are afraid of elevators, then Down is the movie for you. This is an entertaining black comedy/horror about a possessed elevator.
The Rift [1990]
If you’re a fan of eighties underwater movies check out The Rift, a charmingly stereotypical movie with decent practical effects and good pacing.
The Serpent and the Rainbow [1988]
Wes Craven’s The Serpent and the Rainbow is an atmospheric, original, and gritty slow-burner exploring the mystery behind the voodoo zombie myth.
