Found footage horror is a genre that strips away the artifice. It’s messy, very messy at times, but it gives you a different sense of terrifying because it all feels like it could be real.

If you’re tired of glossy horror movies with PG-13 tension, cheap jump scares, and cheesy CGI, When Evil Lurks will remind you what fear actually feels like.
Scream – The film that came along at exactly the right time. Take my Scream franchise quiz and see how many you score.
28 Years Later is a mixed bag. We certainly have things to like and appreciate, but as I mentioned, the messiness of the film might not bother some, but it bothered me. I wanted to care more, I really did, but it all felt a little bit jarring.
The Battery isn’t your typical zombie film. It’s a story about survival, friendship, and hope in a world gone sideways.
Kapkapiii isn’t a film you analyze too much. It’s a film you watch when you don’t want to think, and just want some cheap and stupid comedy that raises a chuckle now and again.
Predator: Killer of Killers is smart without being smug, brutal without being empty, and surprisingly emotional for a franchise that once featured a handshake with the force of a small earthquake.
I love horror films/shows, and have been watching horror for 30 odd years, and I am sure many will say I am a wuss, but these jump scare attempts got me good when I first watched them.
Go on, make fun of me.
I went into watching Until Dawn with hope. Not high hopes, mind you. Just regular, middle-of-the-road hopes – the kind of hope you reserve for a video game movie that might actually be fun, if not necessarily good.
And for about ten minutes, I was fine….
Fear Street: Prom Queen is a film that feels like it’s borrowing heavily from other 80s teen horror staples without really bringing its own voice.
Horror: the genre that taught us it’s totally normal to run towards the noise in the basement. But horror isn’t just one big lumbering monster. It’s a Frankenstein’s creature of sub genres.
This is a movie for viewers who don’t mind horror that’s more about feelings than fear, and more about what’s inside your head than what jumps out at you from the shadows.
The Moogai is more than just a horror movie. It’s an important story about intergenerational trauma, identity, and how history lingers in the most personal parts of our lives. But as a horror film, it stumbles.
Bring Her Back is not perfect, but it’s bold, weird, and it’ll probably haunt me longer than most “better” horror films. And in a genre that spits out forgettable jump-scare-fests like clockwork, that’s saying something.
The Severed Sun won’t be for everyone, and that’s fine. Not everything has to be. But for those who like their horror slow-cooked and full of meaning, this is a meal worth sitting down for.
If you’re here for the kill creativity, Final Destination: Bloodlines won’t disappoint you, with a brilliant opening sequence.
Sinners is a film that takes a lot of risks, it trusts its audience, and delivers something that sticks with you. It doesn’t wrap everything up in a neat little bow. It doesn’t tell you what to think. It just lays everything out and says, “This is the world. Now what?”
