- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsPerdita WeeksBen FeldmanEdwin HodgeWhen a team of explorers venture into the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead.This movie blew me away! Super creepy. Very claustrophobic. One of my very favourite horrors ever. The Paris Catacombs are an amazing backdrop. Incredible that they were allowed to shoot down there.
10/10! - DirectorJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsManuela VelascoFerran TerrazaJorge-Yamam SerranoA television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.Holy hell! This is my favourite horror movie. Bit of a drag for the first 10-15 mind, but balls out non stop after that!
A zombie rage virus akin to 28 days later infects an apartment building that subsequently gets quarantined trapping everyone alive inside.
10/10! - DirectorNeil MarshallStarsShauna MacdonaldNatalie MendozaAlex ReidA caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.One of the better horror movies I've ever seen. Slightly Lovecraftian. Serious nightmare fuel. Very tense. Great atmosphere. Not an over-use of "boo" scares. The ones that happen are worth it. Trapped in an unexplored caving system makes the experience feel very cramped and all the more terrifying.
10/10 - DirectorPeter CornwellStarsVirginia MadsenMartin DonovanElias KoteasAfter a family is forced to relocate for their son's health, they begin experiencing supernatural behavior in their new home, and uncover a sinister history.One of the better haunted house movies I've seen. Really delivers the goods in creepiness and terror. Family moves into new house that used to be a mortuary. Disabled son takes basement as his room and of course is brain-raped by ghosties. Faithless priest tries to help out
9/10 - DirectorAlec GillisStarsLance HenriksenCamille BalsamoMatt WinstonWhile studying the effects of global warming on a pod of whales, grad students on a crabbing vessel and its crew uncover frozen Soviet space shuttle and unintentionally release a monstrous organism from it.Pretty decent little re-imagining of John Carpenter's "The Thing". Decent acting from most of the cast. Good story even if it wasn't very original. Great production value for what I expected to be a pretty low budget cheesy flick. Lance Henrickson is always good.
7/10 - DirectorJon HarrisStarsMichael J. ReynoldsShauna MacdonaldJessika WilliamsRefusing to believe her story about cave-dwelling monsters, the sole survivor of a spelunking exploration gone horribly wrong is forced to follow the authorities back into the caves where something awaits.Not as good as the first, but had some decent scares. Back to the cave with the only survivor of the first movie when no one believes her story.
7/10 - DirectorJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsJonathan D. MellorManuela VelascoÓscar ZafraIn order to ascertain the current situation inside, a supposed medical officer and a GEO team step into the quarantined and ill-fated apartment building.Picks up where the first movie leaves off and manages to carry the horror onward fairly well. Good sequel even though it's kind of a rehash of the original.
8/10 - DirectorRyan WhitakerStarsSteven StraitKarolina WydraMadison LintzWhen two bus crash survivors awake to discover that they are the only people left in their town, they work together to unravel the truth behind the strange events.Interesting sort of surreal little movie. Takes place inside the heads of two coma patients after a bus crash. Great looking monster. Very comic book like feel (which makes sense as one of the main characters draws comics).
7/10 - DirectorBen KetaiStarsBrent BriscoeKurt CaceresEric EtebariA crew of coal miners becomes trapped 600 feet below ground after a disastrous collapse. As the air grows more toxic and time runs out, they slowly descend into madness and begin to turn on one another.Slightly akin to The Decent (what can I say, horror movies underground are just that much scarier), only this one is to do with mining and there is only the one monster (I think).
8/10 - DirectorSimeon HalliganStarsPollyanna McIntoshLee WilliamsJoanne MitchellIt's Ed and Sarah's first night in their new home, a perfect farmhouse in the country. A new beginning away from their stressful city lives. It suddenly dawns on them: they do not belong here and they're certainly not welcome.Found this under its alternate title, The Blood Lands. Sounded like a haunted house piece, but turned out to be a home invasion movie. I was surprised, but still enjoyed it. Pretty unnerving, and the sort of open ending leaves a creative "what happens next" feel.
7/10 - DirectorNicholas McCarthyStarsAshley RickardsNick EversmanMichael MasseeA real-estate agent finds herself caught up in something sinister when she has to sell a house with a dark past and meets the troubled teen who used to live there.Seen under its alternate title, At The Devil's Door. Was a pretty decent possession film with the demon passing from person to person. Very brutal and haunting.
8/10 - DirectorKarl MuellerStarsJon FosterSarah JonesMark StegerA young couple moves to the woods and soon finds their nightmares and reality colliding.Very eerie film. Couple moves to remote house. Mysterious neighbour makes creepy stick art in the woods. Sort of a cursed land / poltergeist idea. Really enjoyed it.
8/10 - DirectorScott DerricksonStarsEthan HawkeJuliet RylanceJames RansoneA controversial true-crime writer finds a box of Super 8 home movies in his new home, revealing that the murder case he is currently researching could be the work of an unknown serial killer whose legacy dates back to the 1960s.Pretty freaky, though maybe not as much as it's hyped up to be. Bughoul as a demon/villain isn't that intimidating. And though kids can be creepy, the ones he makes kill their families just seem like regular kids. Still a terrifying plot though.
7/10 - DirectorOle BornedalStarsNatasha CalisJeffrey Dean MorganKyra SedgwickA young girl buys an antique box at a yard sale, unaware that inside the collectible lives a malicious ancient spirit. The girl's father teams with his ex-wife to find a way to end the curse upon their child.Does what it says on the box -a possession flick. Not a bad one either. Didn't blow me away, but I enjoyed it. Little kid gets a box at a garage sale; box is haunted; thing in box possesses little girl; bad shit happens.
7/10 - DirectorJoseph KahnStarsJosh HutchersonShanley CaswellSpencer LockeAs a copycat killer named after movie villain Cinderhella stalks the student body at Grizzly Lake High School, a group of co-eds band together to survive while serving detention.OK, ok, so it's a satire and not really horror. But this movie was great! Teenage deaths at a high school. Kind of a modern day Student Bodies.
8/10 - DirectorLeigh WhannellStarsDermot MulroneyStefanie ScottAngus SampsonA prequel set before the haunting of the Lambert family that reveals how gifted psychic Elise Rainier reluctantly agrees to use her ability to contact the dead in order to help a teenage girl who has been targeted by a dangerous supernatural entity.A lot of "boo" scares. Still holds up though. Great atmosphere holds the tension well. A worthy sequel.
8/10 - DirectorColin TheysStarsDean StockwellSean Patrick ThomasBlanche BakerA doctor and his family move to a quiet, small town. Soon he discovers the town's dark secret: A terrifying race of controlling creatures that live in the darkness in the forest behind their home.Troglodites are up there on my list of actually scary shi- along with hillbillies and sociopaths. This movie was definitely more of a horror than Bone Tomahawk, but not as good by a long shot.
7/10 - DirectorCiarán FoyStarsJames RansoneShannyn SossamonRobert Daniel SloanA young mother and her twin sons move into a rural house that's marked for death.I really want to like the Sinister movies. I really do. But I just don't. Bughoul is NOT scary. I looked like that in my "goth phase". The children in these movies, not particularly scary. The legend itself, meh. Everyone's home movies are horrible. The radio was scary. That's about it. The guy who introduces the radio is a non-presence. I'm sure they were alluding to the first movie with some of this, but it was immemorable, so none of it really made sense. Worst of all (spoiler alert but not really) was Bughoul's face popping into frame for the final "scare" of the movie. Pathetic.
Good production value. Wish they would have spent more to pay the writers to give us something scary though.
4/10 - DirectorCraig William MacneillStarsDavid MorseJared BreezeRainn WilsonAn intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath's growing fascination with death.Slow burn (no pun intended) with a creepy main character. The titular boy is that part of kids that wonders about cruel acts, but where most would stop at wondering, he sees them through. Yet he is somewhat relatable in that kids in isolation, with little social interaction are bound to be curious and get into stuff they shouldn't. He reminded me a little of a toned down Eucharid Eucro, the main character from Nick Cave's book, "And the Ass Saw the Angel"
Rainn Wilson plays a surprising (and amazing) role.
7/10 - DirectorAndy MuschiettiStarsJessica ChastainNikolaj Coster-WaldauMegan CharpentierAfter a young couple take in their two nieces, they suspect that a supernatural spirit named Mama has latched onto their family.Truly creepy. Girls raised in the forest by a ghost. Great child actors too. Believable characters and great story.
7/10 - DirectorWill CanonStarsDustin MilliganScott MechlowiczCody HornA police officer and a psychologist investigate the deaths of five people who were killed while trying to summon ghosts.Meh. Not so great. Did a good job on creepy atmosphere. But relied too heavily on jump scares. I also didn't care much for the characters.
4/10 - DirectorHenry HobsonStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerAbigail BreslinJoely RichardsonA teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side.A bleak and moody piece. Schwarzeneggars performance is unlike any I've seen him in. And he does it quite well. Some beautiful scenery too. I love the image of the burning field, and the dark isolation of the farmhouse at night. The near constant rolling thunder in any outdoor scene is a nice touch too.
8/10 - DirectorMartin CampbellStarsFred WardDavid WarnerJulianne MooreIn a fantastical 40's where magic is used by everyone, a hard-boiled detective investigates the theft of a mystical tome.What can I say, I’m a sucker for anything Lovecraft related. Fun movie!
- 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.Amazing horror! Instantly became a favourite of mine. Four friends on a hiking trip have to take a shortcut off the path when one is injured. What awaits them in the forest is absolute terror! I won’t spoil a thing about this by saying more. Just watch it! Solid 10/10!
- DirectorDamien LeoneStarsJenna KanellSamantha ScaffidiDavid Howard ThorntonOn Halloween night, Tara Heyes finds herself as the obsession of a sadistic murderer known as Art the Clown.Pretty standard slasher. Low budget feel. Quite enjoyable. In memory of Craven, Romero, and Hooper. Love that.
