“A doctor kidnaps a young couple and forces them into a game of torment that slowly extinguishes their hopes for survival.” The title basically sums it up. One of the most fucked up things I’ve seen recently and can’t really say I ever need to see it again. Foreign horror is just way more hardcore. Only 74 minutes. On Tubi.

“Bela, an 8-year-old girl living in a home with marital problems, confronts a sinister entity which comes out of her closet. The presence, whom she calls “Other Mommy,” becomes increasingly threatening to her and her family.” Not the best horror movie of the year, but far better than the hate this seems to be getting online. Plot wise kinda confusing, but Jessica Chastain and Arabella Olivia Clark really crush, and it’s a complete fail without them. Cool visuals and while they could have gone farther with the R rating, there’s a PG-13 version of this that’s completely sauceless.

“Desperate to pay their son’s ransom, a mayoral candidate and his wife resort to extreme measures, revealing dark secrets they never intended to bring to light.” This isn’t terrible, but it’s basically Kurosawa’s “High and Low,” a much better movie, with a political spin on it. I actually really like the first half, but the ending is unforgivable, and Ben Affleck is better than this. On Netflix.

“To stall a witch plotting to eat him, a boy reads her horror tales dealing with a collegian’s resurrection of a mummy, a murderous cat, and an artist’s pact with a gargoyle.” I remember seeing this as a little kid but only remembering very little. Fun horror anthology, similar to tales from the crypt. Over the top and fun practical effects. On Paramount Plus.

“Follows Frances Haugen, a young Facebook engineer, who enlisted the help of Jeff Horwitz, a Wall Street Journal reporter, to blow the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.” The Social Network (2010) is an all time favorite and one of the best movies this century. The sequel is just inferior on every level. No returning cast, Sorkin directing instead of Fincher, even the score was so memorable before and is basically non existent here. I think Bill Burr does a great job being the voice of reason but that’s really the highlight. I was actually entertained, but just because I couldn’t stop wondering how anyone thought this was a good idea.

“Friends on a late-night food run become trapped on an infinite highway with otherworldly terrors lurking beyond. Confined in their car, they must decide whether to accept their fate or attempt escape.” Didn’t love this in the beginning but it slowly pulled me in as it went. It’s not scary, but I hate driving almost more than anything else, so essentially being stuck in a car on a never ending road sounds like worst fucking thing. Rented on Prime.

“Set a few days after the original, a championship basketball team’s bus is attacked by The Creeper, the winged, flesh-eating terror, on the last day of his 23-day feeding frenzy.” Not nearly as good as the first. Starts off promising, but then kinda becomes an action movie? Should I even watch the 3rd one? On YouTube.

“A guard vanished on his first night at an old psych hospital in 2023. His bodycam footage shows unexplainable incidents that continue to baffle investigators.” More like infuriating. On Shudder.

“A brother and sister driving home through isolated countryside for spring break encounter a flesh-eating creature which is in the midst of its ritualistic eating spree.” I had never seen the full thing until now, but this is a pretty fun, if not a little dated horror movie. It’s obviously supernatural, but there is a a real thing that happened that this was based on, worth looking up. Also, why wasn’t Gina Philips way more famous? On YouTube.
