![]() Tony Todd welcomes patrons to another “Hell Fest” event as master of ceremonies - then it’s to the slicing and dicing throughout mazes where bodies pile under the guise of killer special effects. Lovers of amusement park horror are treated to deaths in a Halloween Horror Nights or Six Flags Fright Night setting that’s lush with macabre carnival decor. Stars: Amy Forsyth, Reign Edwards, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Christian JamesĪdd Gregory Plotkin’s Hell Fest to the list of underappreciated original slashers in recent years.Bruckner flaunts his filmmaking chops in a significant way. There's so much to enjoy as Swedish forestation becomes an isolated outdoor prison, and then all hell breaks loose. One source of terror feeds into the next and provokes future traumas, all interconnected as Bruckner weaves in and out of multiple horror subgenres with ease. Visions begin by layering psychological horror as the characters confront fears or guilt, then cultism adds communal dread, and lastly, Bruckner delivers on creature-feature goods. Four friends take a northern Swedish hiking trip in memory of their deceased fifth, only to become victims of a woodland nightmare. Netflix's original horror game rose to another level with The Ritual, David Bruckner's directorial debut outside segments in The Signal, V/H/S, and Southbound. Stars: Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, Sam Troughton.Tune in, share some laughs, soak in a devilish Weaving performance, and check out Netflix’s funniest spooky original so far. A supporting cast including Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Hana Mae Lee, and Andrew Bachelor all have their moments subverting specific “hunted home alone” tropes - still, The Babysitter is Samara Weaving’s showcase. Is it also written by Brian Duffield of Spontaneous fame - a magnificent young adult dark comedy – and does it star modern scream queen in the making, Samara Weaving?

Yes.Fox's "comeback tour" raises eyebrows with Till Death, a movie worth a gamble based on the premise's better-than-expected execution. Till Death knows it's only ever trying to be a chilly Friday night stream at barely ninety minutes, and that's the proper mindset. It's not that Till Death is revolutionary more how Fox carries a gimmick film through engaging thrills as she drags her co-star's lifeless body around a house and away from killers. "A woman finds herself shackled to a corpse as part of a revenge plot." Megan Fox plays the previously mentioned woman handcuffed to her stone-cold dead ex in one of her recent indie horror ventures. Stars: Megan Fox, Eoin Macken, Callan Mulvey, Jack Roth.Child subplots in horror are a tricky formula to crack that Cargo gets right, as the fears of protective parents translate into a hearty zombie experience. Freeman's traveler encounters psychos, ferocious walkers, and weather elements that add thrills to Cargo, but what's unexpected is how a baby doesn't weigh the narrative down. Think The Walking Dead as an undead film that's more about its human characters facing survival drama than zombie action, except this one packs sturdy emotional stakes. Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke's Cargo stars Martin Freeman as a father traversing the Australian outback with his daughter - also, there are zombies. One of Netflix's first original horror films is still one of my favorites.
