Night Shyamalan brings us Knock at the Cabin , the kind of closed-quarters horror flick that will remind us that idyllic trips to the middle of the woods may not be the greatest idea.Our story follows seven-year-old Wen (Kristen Cui) and her fathers, Eric and Andrew (Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge), three people minding their own business who are suddenly intruded upon and held captive by a gang of apocalyptic prophesiers led by Leonard Brocht (Dave Bautista).
According to the doomsday crew, if the family doesn’t sacrifice one of their own, a series of global tragedies will consume the world.It’s your typical nail-biting siege pic, with a bunch of characters stuck under one roof for a majority of the runtime, but Knock at the Cabin gets a big boost from its excellent cast, with Dave Bautista being an empathetic standout.Yes, he could kill you by looking at you for too long, but Mr.Brocht could also make you a shed a tear or two.

Is something supernatural afoot, or did the kids just have too many marshmallows? Cut from the same cloth as films like A24’s horror movie A Hole in the Ground and Amazon’s remake of Goodnight Mommy (swap the weird kids for a weird parent), There’s Something Wrong … isn’t bringing the most original premise to the table, but where this Blumhouse-produced entry truly succeeds is with its foreboding camera work, editing, and haunting score.

Well after watching M3GAN , that granular level of fear may get bumped up a few notches.Starring Allison Williams as Gemma and Violet McGraw as her niece Cady, when the latter’s parents are killed in car wreck, Cady takes up residence with her aunt, who just so happens to be working on a secret AI-powered doll, codenamed M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android).Engineered to be the best toy a kid could want, when introduced to a sorrowful Cady, M3GAN truly steps up to the plate, offering emotional support, along with fun and games.
But after deciding that literally anything that poses a threat to her pal needs to be eradicated, M3GAN quickly devolves into a grade-A murder machine.
An awesome genre pic that combines practical effects and CGI in new and exciting ways, M3GAN treads familiar “fear of technology” waters, but the amped-up visuals and satirical narrative make this a flick you don’t want to miss.Read less Read more The Fog (1980) 45 % 4.9/10 r 89m Genre Horror Stars Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Hal Holbrook Directed by John Carpenter watch on Amazon watch on Amazon In John Carpenter’s The Fog , the writer-director ditches the suburban terrors of Halloween in favor of material that’s far more supernatural.Our story takes place in Antonio Bay, a seaside community in Northern California, where a mystical fog descends over the coastal paradise, bringing with it a band of blood-hungry pirate ghosts who want revenge for dying at sea 100 years ago.With terror quickly sweeping over the community, it’s up to a local radio DJ ( Catwoman voice actress Adrienne Barbeau) and a few other townsfolk to put an end to the swashbuckling ghouls.With additional players including Hal Holbrook, Tom Atkins, and Jamie Lee Curtis, The Fog may not bring the most high-brow of concepts to the table, but it’s the kind of cult film that keeps getting better and better as the years go by.Read less Read more The Battery (2012) 6.3/10 r 101m Genre Drama, Horror Stars Jeremy Gardner, Adam Cronheim, Niels Bolle Directed by Jeremy Gardner watch on Amazon watch on Amazon Written, directed, produced, and starring Jeremy Gardner, The Battery follows the postapocalyptic day-to-day lives of two former baseball players, Ben (Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim).Constantly at each other’s throats, these two survivors of the undead takeover are forced to wander the desolate remains of New England.While searching an abandoned property, Ben and Mickey discover two walkie-talkies.

Read less Read more Jigsaw (2017) 39 % 5.7/10 r 92m Genre Horror, Crime, Mystery, Thriller Stars Matt Passmore, Tobin Bell, Callum Keith Rennie Directed by Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig watch on Amazon watch on Amazon The eight film in the still-ongoing Saw franchise, 2017’s Jigsaw plays to the typical Saw film formula: Unsuspecting victims are forced to participate in a series of deadly games curated by whatever notorious malcontent is calling themselves “Jigsaw” this time around.
But with the O.G.
serial killer, John Kramer, dead in the ground for over a decade, who exactly is still willing and able to pull the murderous strings? Like the many lesser versions of the original film that came before it, Jigsaw doesn’t stray too far from the grisly visuals that the series is known for.That being said, it’s still a decent watch, especially for longtime fans of the saga.
Read less Read more The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) 6.0/10 r 90m Genre Horror, Mystery, Thriller Stars Jill Larson, Anne Ramsay, Michelle Ang Directed by Adam Robitel watch on Amazon watch on Amazon The directorial debut of Adam Robitel, The Taking of Deborah Logan follows a group of documentary filmmakers who are looking to produce a film about the crippling affects of Alzheimer’s disease.Their main subject is a woman named Deborah Logan (Jill Larson), a sufferer of dementia who begins experiencing erratic behavior.According to Deborah’s physicians, her behavior is par for the course, but when these eccentricities begin developing links to terrifying crimes and supernatural phenomena, the documentarians realize that their very lives are at stake.A found-footage gem that many fans of the sub-genre will enjoy, The Taking of Deborah Logan is a lesser-known horror entry that doesn’t get talked about as much as it should.
Read less Read more Smile (2022) r 115m Genre Horror, Mystery, Thriller Stars Sosie Bacon, Kyle Gallner, Caitlin Stasey Directed by Parker Finn watch on Amazon watch on Amazon The feature film debut of writer-director Parker Finn, Smile stars Sosie Bacon as Dr.

Her discovery: a morbid and long-spanning connect-the-dots of self-mutilation.Leaning on jump-scares (albeit some very good ones) and measured performances to spin its terror threads, Smile may feel familiar to many fans of the genre, but who said wearing your influences on your sleeve has to be a bad thing?
Read less Read more Halloween Ends (2022) r 111m Genre Horror, Thriller Stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Rohan Campbell Directed by David Gordon Green watch on Amazon watch on Amazon Serving as the bookend to writer-director David Gordon Green’s trilogy of Halloween films (made up of 2018’s Halloween and 2021’s Halloween Kills ), Halloween Ends decides to go totally off-formula for its final run with the infamous Michael Myers character, focusing instead on two returning characters: Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak), one new face (Rohan Campbell), and three intertwined stories of survival in the wake of tragedy.
Don’t worry fans, for even though it takes Myers a solid forty minutes-plus to join the fray, once he makes himself known, we’re treated to one of the gutsiest and most polarizing depictions of the madmen once billed as “The Shape.”
Read less Read more Cropsey (2009) r 84m Genre Mystery, Documentary, Horror, Crime Stars Joshua Zeman, Barbara Brancaccio, Bill Ellis Directed by Joshua Zeman, Barbara Brancaccio watch on Amazon watch on Amazon Cropsey is the kind of documentary that has us wishing there were more documentaries just like it; and even if you’re a horror fan who never treads the waters of non-fiction, we highly recommend giving this one a go.Produced and directed by Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio, Cropsey explores the titular urban legend, a monster of a man who preyed upon five New York City children through the ‘70s and ‘80s.
But far more than a wandering wraith, the filmmakers discover that the horrible acts of convicted child kidnapper Andre Rand may be at the root of the decades-old myth.Profound and disturbing, Cropsey has gained quite the following over the last 15 years or so, and for good reason: it’s a sensational and disturbingly horrific doc that’s worth your time.
Read less Read more Beast (2022) r 93m Genre Thriller, Action, Adventure, Horror Stars Idris Elba, Leah Sava Jeffries, Iyana Halley Directed by Baltasar Kormákur watch on Amazon watch on Amazon In director Baltasar Kormákur’s 2022 film Beast, Idris Elba stars as Dr.Nate Samuels, a widowed father of two teenage daughters (Iyana Halley and Leah Sava Jeffries).On a vacation to the Mopani Reserve in South Africa, the trip that everyone needed quickly devolves into an all-out nightmare when a man-eating lion goes on a killing spree.
It’s up to Nate and his children to think fast, act fast, and pray, as they do all they can to avoid becoming “prey” to the angry wildlife.Beast knows that it’s operating on an out-there premise that most of us are unlikely to experience, but watching Elba go into combat with an apex predator certainly makes for thrilling cinema.Read less Read more The Oak Room (2020) 89m Genre Thriller, Horror, Mystery Stars RJ Mitte, Peter Outerbridge, Ari Millen Directed by Cody Calahan watch on Amazon watch on Amazon Based on the Peter Genoway play of the same name, director Cody Calahan’s The Oak Room stars Breaking Bad alum RJ Mitte and Peter Outerbridge as Steve and Paul.Hoping to settle a long-ago score, a homecoming Steve (Mitte) returns to a bar he once frequented, where he decides to trade harrowing stories with the miserly barkeep.It’s these chilling words that possess a greater part of the film, with the various vignettes delivering countless twists and turns throughout the runtime.
Read less Read more My Best Friend’s Exorcism (2022) 58 % 5.3/10 r 96m Genre Horror, Comedy Stars Elsie Fisher, Amiah Miller, Rachel Ogechi Kanu Directed by Damon Thomas watch on Amazon watch on Amazon In My Best Friend’s Exorcism , Elsie Fisher and Amiah Miller star as best friends Abby and Gretchen, high-school pals who come into contact with a demonic entity that decides to take up residence in Gretchen’s body.As the evil within uses its new vessel for wrongdoing aplenty, it’s up to the teens to figure out a way to eradicate the monster before it’s too late.It’s silly in many ways, and not all of its narrative choices are worthwhile ones.
But as an off-kilter horror comedy, My Best Friend’s Exorcism is an effective rumination on ’80s genre cinema that sticks its landing more than it doesn’t.Read less Read more Goodnight Mommy (2022) 45 % 5.6/10 r 91m Genre Horror, Drama, Thriller Stars Naomi Watts, Cameron Crovetti, Nicholas Crovetti Directed by Matt Sobel watch on Amazon watch on Amazon A 2022 remake of the 2014 Austrian film of the same name, Goodnight Mommy stars Cameron and Nicholas Crovett as twin brothers Elias and Lukas.When the siblings are forced to stay with their mother (Naomi Watts), an actress covered in facial bandaging from a “cosmetic” surgery, the boys start to get a strange feeling that this woman is not their mother at all, but some kind of otherworldly imposter that means them harm.
While not as captivating as the original film, Goodnight Mommy is still a decent Amazon horror flick that’s perfect to watch on a cold and gloomy night.Read less Read more The Collector (2009) 29 % 6.3/10 r 88m Genre Horror, Thriller Stars Josh Stewart, Juan Fernández, Michael Reilly Burke Directed by Marcus Dunstan watch on Amazon watch on Amazon The Collector takes all the mayhem and inventive murders of a film like Saw , removes any and all traces of relatable drama, and adds kerosene to the formula.The resulting conflagration is an exploitive mess that can be seen for miles, but we’ll be damned if we can’t turn away.Josh Stewart stars as ex-con Arkin, a man desperate to get some much-needed cash in the hands of his ex-wife, so he decides to rob a house.
Not the best plan to begin with, but it just so happens that the targeted domicile has already been selected by a notorious madman who has rigged the residence with a series of inescapable death traps.During early development, The Collector was actually supposed to be a prequel to the Sawseries, which makes sense when you consider the narrative.It’s not groundbreaking genre cinema by any means, but if you need a good sister flick to the Saw canon, The Collector is bound to satiate.Read less Read more Candyman (2021) 72 % 5.9/10 r 91m Genre Horror Stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Colman Domingo Directed by Nia DaCosta watch on Amazon watch on Amazon Dare to speak his name?

Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Anthony McCoy, a Chicago-based painter seeking inspiration for his next set of works, the talented and curious craftsman dives deep into the lore of the infamous Candyman legend after a conversation with a Cabrini-Green resident (Colman Domingo) piques his interest in the man with a hooked hand.But as the bodies start piling up, the world of the paintbrush starts bleeding out into reality as the titular slasher returns once more.Candyman rocks a bold visual style with a kinetic story that comes to life through the film’s ensemble of players, particularly Mateen II as the manic artist who rapidly descends down a rabbit hole of disillusionment and decay.

But as a series of horrific visions begin plaguing the mother, the soon-to-be parents wonder if the myriad of disturbing images they’ve been seeing are due to the stresses of the forthcoming child, or maybe it has something to do with a sinister curse that has been stomping around the ranch the couple has been working on? Another great entry in the Welcome to the Blumhouse film series, Madres explores a number of important social issues under the banner of top-shelf horror.Read less Read more Black as Night (2021) 53 % 4.4/10 r 87m Genre Horror, Thriller Stars Asjha Cooper, Fabrizio Guido, Craig Tate Directed by Maritte Lee Go watch on Amazon watch on Amazon In Black of Night , Asjha Cooper stars as 15-year-old Shawna as a renegade vampire hunter living in New Orleans.When her mother falls victim to a band of vamps that has plagued the city since the travesty of Hurricane Katrina, Shawna teams up with three ragtag vigilantes to track down the leader of the vampires and put an end to their nighttime scheming once and for all.A fun blend of action, horror, teen melodrama, and social commentary, Black as Night borrows plenty from like-minded vampire flicks but dishes out enough of its own flavor to keep viewers glued to the screen.
