Cult Horror Movies The Perfect Guy (2015)
Upcoming Horror Movies We’re Ready to Be Scared By in 2. It’s almost fitting that in a year as wretched as 2. The year’s best scary movies provided an opportunity to work through collective fears, escape from the bleakness of the real world, and channel a national climate of fear and distrust. So 2. 01. 7 has a lot to live up to, but fans looking for onscreen thrills already have plenty of titles to get excited about. Here’s a rundown of the spookiest, scariest, and goriest movies we’re looking forward to this year, with an assist from Christian Parkes, co- founder of Beyond Fest; Tim League, founder of Fantastic Fest; Kier- La Janisse of Australia’s Monster Fest; and Charlie Reff, senior programmer for the Sundance Film Festival. Night Shyamalan abandoned his horror roots and started making movies for kids — The Last Airbender, After Earth — that weren’t up to his previous standards. It’s fine, everyone is allowed to go on a creative walkabout, but thankfully, Shyamalan returned to his roots with 2.

The Visit, which confirmed that the director had not lost his masterful puzzle- box brain. Split is his next thriller, and it follows a man (James Mc. Avoy) whose head is full of competing split personalities, all of whom work in the service of a dark beast that forces them to abduct a trio of teens. The great thing about Shyamalan is that he always swings big, and trusts his imagination.
Let’s take a look at the best chick flicks of 2015 so far – recent, new and coming soon. A chick flick is one that appeals to young women, or the young at heart.
- Reviews focused on creating a list of the 366 weirdest movies ever made.
- Having everything that is missing from modern day horror films, "The Babadook" reassures us that even though the genre may be on it's way out, it is not quite there yet.
Keep a close watch on the strange and intriguing young talent Anya Taylor- Joy, who broke out in The Witch last year and continues to take offbeat genre roles. A Cure for Wellness (February 1. Remember The Road to Wellville, the 1. Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Broderick about an early- 2. A Cure for Wellness looks a lot like that, but legitimately terrifying instead of incidentally so; if you’ve been unsure about what the movie’s first trailer is selling, those in the know assure us the film is indeed a straight- up horror movie.
Suspiria (pronounced
I n early 2015, concerns persisted that the mainstream commercial film industry is no longer as dynamic or creative as it used to be. Not only was there a shortage of. The B-Movie trope as used in popular culture. The Great Depression hit Hollywood almost as hard as it hit other industries; a third of the audience.

It’s about a young company man (Dane De. Haan) sent to a strange retreat center in the Swiss Alps to retrieve his CEO, who has been holed up seeking treatment for a mysterious ailment. The place is, of course, not what it seems, and getting out turns out to be a lot harder than getting in. Watch New Julia (2015) Online there.
Wellness comes from Gore Verbinski, who’s been busiest over the last decade making Pirates of the Caribbean movies. This looks a whole lot more twisted than those Disney outings, but charged up with the same grandeur and ambition that makes the director’s later work so visually immersive. XX (February 1. 7)When V/H/S became an unlikely little sensation a few years ago, it briefly catalyzed a renewed fervor for horror anthologies. By the time the sequel V/H/S: Viral came out — and wasn’t very good — the enthusiasm had faded, but now, XX is here to, hopefully, breathe new life into the format. The four vignettes here come from The Invitation’s Karyn Kusama, Roxanne Benjamin, Jovanka Vuckovic, and Annie Clark (more famously known as rock goddess St. Vincent), and considering the dearth of opportunities for female directors, it’s extra heartening to see these four getting a special spotlight. I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore (February 2.
This one sounds like a genre- bender. Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) is a woman in a serious personal rut; when she returns home one day to find her house burglarized, she decides she’s had enough and sets out to retrieve her stolen property. Ruth teams up with her strange neighbor (Elijah Wood) to crack the case, with the pair eventually becoming embroiled in a sordid criminal adventure. The movie’s Sundance page describes it as a “blood- soaked foray into a twisted moral universe,” and with these two actors onboard it will surely provide the quirkiest of indie thrills. In Lynskey we trust. Get Out (February 2.
Key & Peele’s Jordan Peele makes his directorial debut with this horror film about a black man meeting his white girlfriend’s parents for the first time at their country home. It’s all very awkward but well- intentioned — until the boyfriend (Skins’ Daniel Kaluuya), starts recognizing the other people on the property and realizes they’re all missing persons. Peele’s transition into horror feels like a natural one; in standout Key & Peele sketches like “Make- A- Wish” and “Aerobics Meltdown,” the duo was often at their best when they were at their weirdest and most disturbing. Logan (March 3)Yes, as in the Marvel Logan, the adamantium- infused superhero played by Hugh Jackman.
This is not exactly a horror film, but two of our festival consultants who have seen the first 4. Deadpool earned its R- rating with gleeful gore and an abundance of dirty jokes, but it sounds like Logan is going to get there with a level of violence ripped from the comic- book pages.
The DC films have given “dark” superhero films a bad name; hopefully this one will be able to turn the subgenre around. Six blades up! Raw (March 1.
With Raw, French director Julia Ducournau hasn’t just made one of the best horror films of the year to come, she’s also managed to make its best coming- of- age movie, too. Young Justine (Garance Marillier) is a first- year veterinary- school student following in the footsteps of the rest of her family. Unfortunately, despite being raised as a strict vegetarian, she soon realizes that she’s got a taste for flesh — all kinds of flesh.
What comes next is a unique process of self- discovery, as the bookish Justine navigates sexual identity, party politics, drug culture, intimate friendships, sibling rivalry, academic challenges, and a deeper understanding of her role in her own family. It’s an eminently modern take on a classic kind of tale, and writer/director Ducournau is at the start of a special career. Personal Shopper (March 1. The summary for Shopper sounds like the plot of a supernatural thriller: A young woman is overwhelmed by a mysterious spirit when she tries to communicate with the ghost of her dead brother. The intrigue comes in the reunion of filmmaker Olivier Assayas and Kristen Stewart, who starred in the director’s understated and emotionally asphyxiating Clouds of Sils Maria in 2. That movie balanced negative space with fraught confrontations between its lead characters; had any one of them been a few tics darker, Sils Maria would have made a fine, All About Eve–style horror flick. The French brand of angst seems to drape over Stewart’s shoulders like an elegant Chanel jacket; she’s onscreen for every tense moment of Personal Shopper, and she’s rarely been better.
The Belko Experiment (March 1. Are you ready for an adult Hunger Games? Or maybe Office Space meets Battle Royale? Belko finds a group of happy- go- lucky office workers whose day takes a turn for the horrible when their whole building locks down and a dispassionate voice comes over the intercom demanding that they murder each other. Alien: Covenant (May 1.
Based on the first trailer for Covenant, Ridley Scott is stripping his sci- fi franchise back to its bones for the sixth installment of the Alien series. The crew of the spaceship Colony is on the hunt for a new paradise planet to call home, but what they find is yet another dark and terrifying world (there are a lot of those in the Alien universe) inhabited by the most perfect killing machines in the universe: the xenomorph. Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Demi. On desolate planets riddled with facehuggers, no one back on Earth can hear you scream. Suspiria (TBD)Remaking a classic is always dicey, especially when that classic comes from a legend like Dario Argento.
But here’s what makes a new Suspiria so compelling: It’s being directed by Luca Guadagnino and co- stars Tilda Swinton. The two have collaborated twice before, on I Am Love and A Bigger Splash, two beautifully rendered character dramas. The two aren’t afraid to get weird together, and the fact that an Italian auteur is bringing new life to Argento’s seminal work makes it feel like the project is in the right hands.
