🧵 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...

9) The Hunt Satire. Conspiracy theory. Blood. Betty Gilpin is a modern final girl. A light(er)hearted break from the last few. Fun if you like political satire with your scares. www.themoviedb.org/movie/514847...

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...

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...

13) Host Found footage for the Zoom era. ~55 mins, so if you're on a tight time budget, it's a good pick. Filmed / released during Covid lockdowns / isolation, I'm sure this was even more unsettling to watch then. Creepy. #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days www.themoviedb.org/movie/723072...

14) Dream Eater I typically try to find something redeeming about a piece of art… it’s… Canadian? Not recommended. www.themoviedb.org/movie/131787...
