Tenebrae (1982)

8/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀

An essential giallo! Anthony Franciosa steals the show as Peter Neal, an author investigating a serial killer obsessed with his books. Beautifully shot by Argento with artistic yet shocking kills. The twist at the end is excellent. A very creepy killer.

The Wailing (2016)

9/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀

A genius story with one of the most memorable and stressful endings in horror. The story is always one step ahead of the audience's expectations. Joon-goo is such a relatable and sympathetic protagonist. A film that requires and deserves your complete attention.

The Menu (2022)

9/10
🍛🍛🍛🍛🍛🍛🍛🍛🍛💀

Beautiful and funny with great performances from Fiennes, Hoult, and Taylor-Joy. A satire of upscale dining and kitchen culture exploring class, perfection, and the meaning of food. Like a horror version of Ratatouille, the ending will rekindle your love of food.

Holidays (2016)

7/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀

An uneven but fun anthology where each story is based on a different holiday, making it the perfect horror film for any holiday occasion! The way each segment incorporates the holiday is always creative. Easter is the standout, but also enjoy Xmas and St. Paddy's!

Misery (1990)

10/10
📄📄📄📄📄📄📄📄📄📄

Arguably the best Stephen King adaptation. Kathy Bates's performance is one of the best in horror. William Goldman's script is excellent, gradually building tension until it all boils over. It's also a testament to Rob Reiner's diverse directing talents, RIP.

The Mean One (2022)

3/10
😱😱😱💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

David Howard Thornton's clowning lends itself well to the Seuss character. The Grinch looks good, and turning him into an entity drawn to xmas decorations works well. Everything else is a damn mess with a dumb ending. Should have been just a campy xmas slasher.

Curtains (1983)

6/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀

A bit of a mess, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Part giallo, part slasher, it spends a suspicious amount of time trying to convince us that Samantha is the killer. It can be slow but the kills are scary, great mask design. Beautifully shot with a satisfying ending.

There's Something in the Barn (2023)

7/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀

A fun horror comedy about an angry little elf. Martin Starr is really funny as the out-of-touch dad who thinks the family will be happier if they move to Norway. The elf looks great. Lots of memorable jokes. A good watch this time of year.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

7/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀

Would be a good end to the horror series. I like the evil mirror, reminds me of Oculus. The plot can be messy, the scares mostly work. It's at its best when it focuses on the Warrens. Not as good as the first 2, but better than 3 so worth a watch.

Rare Exports (2010)

7/10
🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅💀💀💀

Christmas folk horror. More than putting Christmas imagery into horror, it reimagines the Christmas mythology to fit the genre. Good characters and creepy imagery with a bonkers ending harkening back to the original short. Love the creativity and execution!

Crumb Catcher (2023)

5/10
😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀💀

A mixed bag. Builds tension well. John Speredakos is captivating as the psycho salesman. He carries this film. However, the protagonists may actually be the dumbest characters in horror. Their decisions throughout were baffling and took me out of the movie.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

10/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

A perfect movie! Brilliant artstyle and character design. Every song is a classic. A tight script for a truly inspired concept. Beautiful animation. It captures both the Halloween and Christmas spirits. A must see for kids and adults!

Frankie Freako (2024)

6/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀

A bizarre comedy from the man behind Psycho Goreman. It has that same awkward tone and beautiful effects, but doesn't work as well as PG did. The plot meanders too much where it starts to feel so-bad-it's-good, but there's still fun to be had with the Freakos.

The Frighteners (1996)

8/10
👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻💀💀

Starts off like a family film but earns its R rating by the end. It goes from comedy to mystery to horror film but these tonal shifts feel natural. Michael J Fox and Jake Busey are standouts but the whole cast is great. The effects are impressive for the 90s.

Frontier(s) (2007)

8/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀

Still so relevent. Behind the extreme violence is the idea that the nazis were defeated but their ideology lives on. Political turmoil and right wing extremism are present even before we meet Von Geisler. When hate hides behind a friendly face, who can you trust?

Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)

6/10
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵💀💀💀💀

Shaun of the Dead + High School Musical with a bit of Christmas cheer thrown in. A wild concept for a niche audience, a cult classic in the making. It runs out of steam toward the end and the teen angst will only appeal to the YA crowd, but it's fun.

Bring Her Back (2025)

9/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀

Wow! This film takes its time building up its mystery but it really pays off. It does such a great job throughout dropping little clues. Sally Hawkins is incredible. She really sells this complex character. Quite scary with some very disturbing sequences.

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

6/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀

This cult classic could have been great. The singing doesn't stop, and except for a few good songs, it can get to be too much. I still recommend it and return to it because of its unbridled creativity and unique biopunk dystopia. Great world building.

Thanksgiving (2023)

6/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀

Feels like Scream with a holiday twist. A decent whodunit slasher that leans a bit on cliche, but the kills are fun, the comedy mostly works, and it's paced well. It incorporates the holiday themes well into the horror. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Rec 4: Apocalypse (2014)

5/10
😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀💀

It's nice to be back on the main story, but the franchise was derailed and can't get back on track before the end. The found footage, the atmosphere, the mystery - all gone! Manuela Velasco is great in this film but it's not enough to save the movie.

Rec 3: Genesis (2012)

5/10
😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀💀💀

It would score higher if it wasn't called Rec. Not a bad movie, but a really bad Rec movie. Not found footage. All new characters. I like the outbreak at a wedding, it's fun and makes sense, but Rec 2 ends on a cliffhanger and I wanted to see what comes next.

Rec 2 (2009)

7/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀💀

A solid sequel that bumps up the action without losing the scares. It explores the religious and supernatural elements of the first. Father Owen is a likeable protagonist whose blend of faith and science fits well with the virus he's up against. Has a memorable finale.

Rec (2007)

8/10
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💀💀

A must-see found footage! A zombie film with supernatural elements. The characters are likeable, the zombies are scary, and the setting is very claustrophobic. The end is haunting with great creature design. The found footage is immersive, not jarring like some movies.

Good Boy (2025)

9/10
🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💀

I was wrong to expect live-action Courage the Cowardly Dog. It's a beautiful film about grief, innocence, and mortality. Indy is a very good boy and a great actor. I instantly fell in love with him and was sobbing through the credits. A must-see for animal lovers.
