🧵 Gonna try to do #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days this year. Here’s my thread. 💀😱🔪

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...

10) Ready or Not Fun. Not perfect, and not particularly scary. First time seeing Samara weaving? Good. Melanie Scrofano always elevates things. Adam Brody as Adam Brody. www.themoviedb.org/movie/567609...

11) The Last House Monster movie. Covid allegory. Family drama and turmoil. Greta Lee and Wagner Moura are doing all of the lifting here. Good actors can be entertaining even if the picture is messy. Less horror, more supernatural thriller. www.themoviedb.org/movie/128404...

12) His House Folk horror extraordinare. Genuinely creepy and unnerving. Wunmi Mosaku is always excellent. If you haven't seen We Own This City and have the stomach for a true story about police corruption, it's highly recommended. Hope we see more from Weekes. www.themoviedb.org/movie/575774...
