WHERE TRADITION MEETS TERROR

We believe that the power of horror lies not only in its ability to thrill and frighten but also in its capacity to reflect the complexities and diverse experiences of humanity.

10. MIRROR MAN

A haunting, heart-wrenching movie from Ginew Benton that gives a glimpse into the horrors of the residential boarding school era and how recent discoveries of mass graves still impact and haunt Indigenous communities in the present.

9. TRAP DOOR IN THE SUN

Trap Door in the Sun is very cerebral and doesn’t relent in its quest to make you acknowledge the violent nature of colonization and the impact that it continues to have on Native communities.

8. CORNHUSK

Nothing creeps me out more or has me on the verge of fearful tears than haunted dolls and creepy nuns. Cornhusk just happens to combine the two and will have you sleeping with the light on for nights to follow.

7. THESE WALLS

These Walls is really difficult to watch because it is a reminder that the real-life horrors that exist within our histories are more terrifying the horrors we can imagine, especially when they still have a powerful impact on our present day realities.

6. PREY

Prey. I don’t even know where to begin with describing how incredibly important this film is, not just because it revitalized the Predator franchise, but in terms of the Native representation.

4. BLOOD QUANTUM

Not the typical zombie flick that questions how survivors stay alive with their humanity intact, but questions the complexity of Indigenous identities and Blood Quantum in a world where only Indigenous people are immune.

3. THE SMUDGING

The Smudging is one of my favorite Native horror flicks because it is set in an actual Native Community Center that is purported to be haunted and the crew did catch an unexplained entity while shooting the film.
