Masters of Horror S1.E9
The Fair Haired Child (55m, 2006, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0643112/
I'm not sure if it was the writing or the acting that kept this from being a real hit for me, because I could SEE the potential. It was fine, but nothing extraordinary.

The Cell (2000, 107m, Howdy)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/
Rewatch.
I actually own this one, and have probably seen it 25 times? It's not a great movie, but god damn, it's one of the most visually stunning horror movies I've ever seen.

The Edge of Sleep (6 Episodes, 2024, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14527626/
This was refreshingly different, although not without its flaws. I would watch another season if it ever happens.

Queen of Bones (2024, 90m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15207270/
Dark & creepy. I liked it well enough.
@krikket.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy74/100
Removal (2010, 91m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1493828/
What a weird film. I think I liked it, though, even if I was HELLA confused through quite a bit of it. Made sense (enough) in the end.

Silent Hill (2006, 125m, Pluto)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384537/
Rewatch.
Silent Hill shouldn't work as a movie. It maybe shouldn't even work as a video game. But this movie? Is a masterclass in atmosphere. And I still maintain those nurses are terrifying.

#Float (2022, 76m, Amazon Prime)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15289312/
It's rare I watch a horror movie and think "This needed MORE" but this? Needed more.
(and I do not mean the music video at the end, oi.)

Bane (2008, 120m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0938284/
A few scary moments in an ultimately incomprehensible package.

The Deeper You Dig (2018, 95m, AMC+)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10563420/
Weird and creepy, but not bad for a low-budget effort.
@krikket.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy67/100
In Fear (2013, 85m, Amazon Prime)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2165859/
This started off strong, but the third act was definitely over the top. It didn't ruin it for me exactly, but man, I would have loved a cleaner finish to the fantastic atmosphere at the start.

Goodnight, Light (2023, 93m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15558266/
This might have been a decent movie in the hands of more competent actors, but some of the cast was so wooden, you'd swear it was a puppet show.

Madhouse (2004, 91m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363276/
Serviceable asylum horror. Ultimately forgettable, but okay while watching.
@krikket.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy63/100
Confessional (2019, 85m, AMC+)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8169642/
This is another one of those weird horror / mystery tropes I like - everyone knows part of the story, no one knows all of the story. Or does someone know everything? Weird, low-budget, interesting enough.
@krikket.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy62/100
Rabbit Trap (2025, 88m, Amazon Prime)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29567402/
Heavy on the atmosphere, light on plot, creepy slow burn.
@krikket.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy61/100
Haunt Season (2024, 81m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24071398/
Exactly the kind of delightfully campy popcorn film I enjoy. Adequate gore, and characters you actually root for. Not great art, but good solid entertainment.

The Cabining (2014, 83m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2376440/
I would like to say this was more comedy than horror, but it wasn't particularly funny either.
@krikket.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy59/100
The Group (2022, 74m, Fawesome)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21342160/
It just wasn't that engaging. I keep looking for the next great "people in a room" movie, and I keep being disappointed.

Truth or Dare (2018, 100m, HBO Max)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6772950/
Holy hell, that ending.

Hemlock Grove - Season One (2013, 13 episodes)
Rewatch
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2309295/
This is - by far - my favorite bit of werewolf horror, even though it's also so much more.
It's best to pretend it never got renewed for two more seasons.

Masters of Horror S1.E8
Cigarette Burns (2005, 59m, Tubi)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0643109/
I can see why this is frequently cited as the best of the series. It's the first episode I thought maybe should have been LONGER.
