The Babadook
This one started out under the radar but due to its huge set of balls, quickly took center stage for the year. A widow who struggles raising her challenged son finds out that they are being watched by a super creepy something called Mister Babadook. Just watch it.
Afflicted
Alot of folks hate the "found footage" genre and rightfully so....however this blows that shit out of the water. A SUPER fun movie that turns the genre on its head. While on a trip around the world 2 dudebros find it hard to deal with some crazy changes happening after one of them is attacked and left for dead. Gritty. AWESOME
Honeymoon
A delightfully gory throwback featuring everyones favorite doe eyed wildling, Ygrette. After finding his newly minted wife naked and completely out of it, in the woods in the middle of the night, a mans honeymoon quickly spirals out of control as he struggles to find out what really happened. Contains one of the sickest scenes since...cabin fever lol. Have fun with this one!
It follows
Like The Babadook, this movie caught fire by word of mouth. Super simple yet chillingly effective, this movie will have you thinking long after it ends. After hooking up with a dude, a young girl is tied to a wheelchair and told that she was passed "something" and that it will follow her at a leisurely pace, taking any form it chooses until it catches her and does unimaginable things. The only way to shake it is to have sex with someone and "pass" it along. Amazing score as well with this one!
Late Phases
I didnt think I was gonna like this one but some great acting and a very unique plot did it for me...A son puts his blind veteran father in a retirement community and soon the man finds out that someone or something is killing off the elderly residents....
The possesion of micheal king.
Ill probably get blasted for this one but its no holds barred bad assness was effective and I love the drearyness of it mixed with the demonology. It also has a couple unique scenes to it as well. After a personal tragedy a man goes searching for any proof of the supernatural that he can find, good or evil. He finds evil.
Occulus
This one was very mainstream but it really surprised me. The thought of not being consciously aware of what we are doing scares the piss out of me. Now adults, A pretty gal and her brother confront the object that shattered their lives when they were kids.
Spring
God damn fantastic movie and I cant wait to see where this director goes with his career. This one is off the beaten path as well but good lord is it a gem. After a bar fight leaves a guy in the hospital, our main character runs to Europe where he ens up on the Italian Coast where he meets a girl who is more than she seems to be. A mindfuck of genres here....Think of a Lovecraft/lynch/shakespearean blend with some great dialogue and a wonderful premise...
Starry eyes
I thought this movie was going to be bigger than it was but I bet it becomes a classic. A throwback to the horror of the 80's, an aspiring woman in LA has trouble landing roles but after a special audition may have found the role she was created for.....
WER
Another favorite of mine, once it gets going its really something to see. In the south of France after a family is attacked and their son eaten by....something..., a seemingly docile giant of a man is arrested and his court appointed lawyer discovers the secrets of the community and the secrets of his family might have been kept secret for a reason....
Wolfcop
Oh sweet baby jesus, this one was fun. This movie is filled with enough gore and oneliners to satisfy anyone (not to mention a scene that makes a penis do the oddest thing you will ever see) A small town alcoholic cop finds that being turned into a werewolf might be just the thing he needed. Dont go in thinking this had the budget of The Avengers. Its pure B movie fun.
The town that dreaded sundown
Im not usually a fan of slashers but this flick did it for me. Stylishly shot and always fun. 65 years after the brutal and unsolved murders of numerous people, residents of a small town are terrified to find out thats its all happening again....
What we do in the shadows
An absolute clever, fun filled story about a few ancient vampires struggling to fit into mainstream, modern society. Do yourself a favor and watch this treat.
