Yes, it was surprisingly funny. I also liked how they incorporated some creepy supernatural scares in addition to the body horror.

Together (2025)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured are a man and a woman looking down at something. They look disheveled and afraid.

Plot:
A long-time couple on the brink of separating find themselves up against an unnatural force determined to keep them together.

Review:
Sticky and icky, the film makes a compelling point about codependent relationships and has good fun with extremely uncomfortable ideas.

Exhuma (2024)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is an older man of East-Asian descent with symbols painted on his face. Bathed in ominous orange lighting, he looks up in concern.

Plot:
Evil is unleashed when a team of supernatural experts agree to move a cursed grave against their better judgement.

Review:
A lengthy mystery that delves into Korean shamanic traditions and historical trauma, but it’s more about atmospheric chills than full-blown terror.

Rating: 3.5/5

Frogman (2023)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a man in the woods at night blowing into a flute-like instrument while nervously looking off into the darkness.

Plot:
Three friends embark on a quest to capture the Loveland Frogman on video, but their search yields terrifying results.

Review:
Initially, a fairly palatable Blair Witch-hopeful with familiar found footage tropes, but the Frogman lore gets far too bonkers to be taken seriously.

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a teenage girl gently touching with her fingertip a fanged tooth in her mouth.

Plot:
A misfit vampire, who resists the idea of killing, meets an unhappy boy who may provide a solution.

Review:
With a sense for deadpan humor and a delicate handling of darker themes, the result is a rather uplifting story about forging your own path in life (or death).

Rating: 4/5

Lol.

I honestly don't remember much either. There was a time-bending aspect to it and it got kind of gross at the end. I liked those aspects, but the pacing was a bit eh.

In the Tall Grass (2019)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a young woman standing outside on a bright sunny day, looking at something further away. There's an old church in the background.

Plot:
A brother and sister venture into a remote field of tall grass in order to help a young boy, only to discover there’s no way out.

Review:
Although underwhelming and sluggish in retrospect, this eerie Stephen King adaptation is still worth a watch for pretty visuals and general strangeness.

The Perfection (2018)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a woman with an uncertain expression standing in a hallway wearing a fancy oriental style dress.

Plot:
A former musical prodigy befriends the new star, but their blossoming relationship is derailed by a troubling turn of events.

Review:
This wildly unpredictable thriller does not bother with sound logic, but what it lacks in credibility, it makes up in pure shock.

Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a teenage girl with a focused expression. She is surrounded by trees with red strings tied between them.

Plot:
When a resentful teenager performs an occult ritual to kill her mother, she soon comes to regret it.

Review:
A chilling psychological horror film with convincing performances and relatable teen angst. This unassuming yet intelligent creation is worth the slow burn.

Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured are a man and a boy, armed with bows, running from a frenzied-looking man chasing them.

Plot:
In an island community of survivors, a young boy embarks on a dangerous journey through the infected mainland.

Review:
The long-awaited continuation surprises with a moving coming-of-age story in a post-apocalyptic setting but, in preparing for its own sequel, leaves off at a bizarre point.

Pictured is a man being chased by a group of rabid-looking people.

Review:
Although more action-oriented than its predecessor, this follow-up makes it work with a riveting plot, capable cast, and an iconic opening sequence.

Pictured is a man in medical scrubs shouting as he walks the empty and littered streets of London.

Plot:
A man awakens from coma only to discover a world ravaged by a terrifying virus.

Review:
Known for popularizing fast zombies, the film remains a staple of the genre with a gripping pace that finds moments of quiet human connection between shocking bursts of violence.

Pictured is a teenage boy coming up the stairs in sleeping clothes, looking alert as if he has heard something.

Plot:

Review:
A crafty, creepy nail-biter with an unpredictable narrative that works best if you GO. IN. BLIND.

That's fair. I was entertained and I liked the movie visually, so I rated it accordingly. But I do agree that it sacrifices quite a bit of credibility in order to surprise you at every turn.

Silent Hill (2006)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a woman in a crumbling bathroom leaning with her back against the door, seemingly frightened of what is on the other side.

Plot:
A mother searches for her adopted daughter in the eerie abandoned town of Silent Hill.

Review:
Despite criticism from protective fans, this disturbing and visually striking video game adaptation borrows some from source material, but can ultimately stand on its own.

Wish Upon (2017)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a teenage girl with an exaggerated expression of shock and splattering of blood on her face.

Plot:
When a teen finds a magic box that grants wishes, she's horrified to learn each wish comes with a deadly cost.

Review:
Perhaps amusing to some viewers in a so-bad-it’s-good kind of way, but with a dull plot and an insufferable lead it’s mostly just too hard to stomach.

Hard Candy (2005)
Movie Review by @onehorrorplease

Pictured is a teenage girl with an unreadable expression on her face. There's some dark red substance on her lower lip, though she seems unharmed.

Plot:
When a teen girl meets up with an older man she chats with online, a twisted game begins.

Review:
An unrelentingly brutal thriller with raw, impactful performances from Patrick Wilson and Elliot Page who play their roles all too well.
