I'll be watching my yearly staples but would love some new suggestions as well. We could all use a decent dark one as we exit this hellscape of a summer.

My yearly list:

  • Hellraiser (1987)
  • Psycho (1960)
  • The Guest (2014)
  • Rosemary's Baby (1968)
  • Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
  • Cabin in the Woods (2011)
  • It follows (2014)

These are the ones I almost always see over the next two months and I sprinkle in a lot of others from brand new to very old ones. Let's hear yours! (And we can talk about them too!)

“The Strangers” is one of the best movies to pull off an uncomfortable feeling right from the beginning to the end. And it comes off as much more realistic than many slashers, with call backs and bad decisions and right decisions and unfortunate mishaps.

Without spoiling it, the movie is a masterclass of writing and atmosphere, imo.

Worth more than one viewing
