1) Obsession A simple on the surface premise that delivers. Insane for the budget. www.themoviedb.org/movie/133971...
2) Hokum Adam Scott just excels at playing this kind of character, though this is not his typical genre. Overall an enjoyable watch, and while I don’t typically go in for jump scares (it’s not all there is here), the ones found here worked for me. www.themoviedb.org/movie/143007...
3) Malevolent Uninspired entry in the paranormal sub-genre. Predictable, not very scary unless ghost stories really creep you out. Florence Pugh is great, but she can only carry so much. I don't often watch movies w/o checking a rating somewhere. This is why. www.themoviedb.org/movie/481375...
4) Bones and All I don't often go for body horror, but the subgenre is wider than I had originally thought. Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future springs to mind: deeply unsettling. But I hadn't considered that, zombies, etc, would also count. Also, romance? www.themoviedb.org/movie/791177...

Movie 5 - Thir13en Ghosts This style of filmmaking is just not for me. The sound design is overbearing without creating actual tension. Matthew Lillard will always have a place in my heart. www.themoviedb.org/movie/9378-t...
6) The Ritual Scandi and pagan lore. Cryptids. The woods. Nightmares do come true. Enjoyable. Will probably read the book. www.themoviedb.org/movie/433808...
7) Apostle Feels very puritan-meets-pagan, and certainly a bloodier flavour of folk horror. It was OK, but I wouldn't rush to recommend it if you weren't already a big fan of this subgenre. www.themoviedb.org/movie/424121...
8) The Witch Of the four features he’s given us so far, the only Robert Eggers film I’d seen thus far was Nosferatu. He’s giving us takes on classic folk horror: witches, vampires, werewolves. The casting, cinematography, performances: all very enjoyable. www.themoviedb.org/movie/310131...
