A woman walks around while the world goes to shit.
Think of this movie like “Hush\ A Quiet Place\ Bird Box” meets literally any zombie movie. While definitively not ground-breaking, it’s worth a rainy day watch.
Raccoon Valley
House at the End of the Street
A girl moves to a new town and gets to know the neighbors.
This is one of those movies where you can relax with the kids, and have your church group over to watch. On a positive note, there is one hell of a basement.
Abattoir
A journalist investigates locations of murders and discovers a bigger story.
It’s rare that new ideas bubble through the horror genre. “Abattoir” is one of them. I was pleasantly surprised that this film was not a regurgitation of tiresome tropes. This film offers the viewer the premise of locations having memories of past events and without giving too much away, what to do with them.
Worth a watch.
Sinister
A crime author moves into a house and discovers a box of film for which he is unprepared.
“Sinister” is worthy of multiple viewings and delivers creepiness and atmosphere. I rather enjoyed the suspense throughout the film. The main baddie is a bit goofy looking, but in the right light can be spooky. Watch it.
We are What We are
A deeply religious family struggles to balance tradition with dinner.
Solid film. Not particularly a horror movie, but enjoyable nonetheless. Cool colors prevail in this film which lends greatly to the general mood of hopelessness.
The story is straight-forward and provides you the opportunity to figure things out without being ham-handed as it unfolds. It’s worth running an eyeball over.
Event Horizon
The reappearance of a missing star ship sparks a rescue mission. Who will rescue the rescuers?
Think Hellraiser in space. The film has nice pacing and performances from Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne. “Where we’re going we won’t need eyes to see.” Watch it.
