DIRECTOR: François Simard, Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell CAST: Graham Verchere, Judah Lewis, Caleb Emery, Cory Gruter-AndrewIt's easy to call 'Summer of '84' another nostalgic 80's horror VHS homage. The story, evolving around four goofy teenagers trying to track down a serial killer, doesn't particularly bring something new to the table. But for everyone who loved 'The Goonies', 'Stand By Me' or more recently 'Stranger Things' will definitely have a good time with this one. Read more

DIRECTOR: Jordan Peele CAST: Allison Williams Lakeith Stanfield, Daniel Kaluuya
Get Out might seem like a genre film, but goes deeper than just being scary and plays into subtle social fears. It's about a black guy who visits the parents of his new white girlfriend for the first time. His parents seem perfectly fine, stereotypical liberal people at first. But the longer he stays at his in-laws, the more unsettling things start to unravel. A brilliant movie that is scary, hilarious AND thought-provoking at the same time. Read more

DIRECTOR: David Robert Mitchell CAST: Maika Monroe Keir Gilchrist Olivia Luccardi
After having sex, a young girl from a Detroit suburb is 'infected' with the most peculiar STD; she is being followed by 'It', which can take any human shape thinkable. It's is slow, but deadly and will always keep coming. The only way to get rid of if, is to pass it on to someone else by having sex.

DIRECTOR: Chan-wook Park CAST: Mia Wasikowska Nicole Kidman Matthew Goode
Korean mastermind Chan-Woon Park (Old Boy) made his American debut with Stoker, a highly stylized and elegant film about India, a teenage girl who lives with her mother (a very creepy Nicole Kidman) in a lavish Californian villa. Her father has just died in a car crash, when suddenly her uncle Charlie appears. Charlie is charming and well-dressed, but underneath these layers of civilization appears to something much darker. A strange alliance between the traumatized girl and the sleeky uncle emerges. Read more

DIRECTOR: Karyn Kusama CAST: Logan Marshall-Green Emayatzy Corinealdi Michiel Huisman
A man visits a dinner party, hosted by his ex-wife and her new lover. But right from the start, he can’t shake the idea off that something sinister is about to happen. In thrillers, the unexpected is usually quite expectable. The great thing about ‘The Invitation’ is that you’re waiting for a twist, as is usual in these kinds of films. But there never really is a twist, which is all the more shocking in the end. Read more

DIRECTOR: Jennifer Kent CAST: Essie Davis Noah Wiseman Daniel Henshall
‘The Babadook’ is one of those rare, low-budget horror debuts we encounter once in every five years or so. The unnerving story of a widowed mother with her young son, both slowly crumbling under the fear of a mysterious book that comes to life at night, is just spot on. Director/writer Jennifer Kent does what horror filmmakers rarely do so effectively; that it is often ourselves we should fear. Read more

DIRECTOR: Adam Wingard CAST: Sharni Vinson Joe Swanberg AJ Bowen
Adam Wingard is without a doubt one of the most prolific and interesting independent horror filmmakers of our times. 2011’s ‘You’re Next’ was a major departure from his earlier mumble-gore work and gained quite some mainstream attention. And rightfully so. The film, about a family reunion ruined by bloodthirsty attackers wearing animals masks, is suspenseful, gory AND darkly funny. Read more

DIRECTOR: Ryan Gosling CAST: Christina Hendricks Iain De Caestecker Matt Smith
When Ryan Gossling announced he was about to make his directorial debut, lukewarm reactions fell upon him. Even worse when the film came out; according to many, 'Lost River' was the sum of obvious influences. A bit of Lynch, a bit of Nicolas Winding Refn and a pinch of Harmony Korine. Indeed, Gosling's first effort as a director feels as a homage to the mentioned filmmakers, but in a good way. 'Lost River' is a creepy fairytale with lots of memorable scenes and stark images.

DIRECTOR: Pedro Almodovar CAST: Antonio Banderas Elena Anaya Jan Cornet
Horror movies are typically made by directors who exclusively do horror. So when a filmmaker who’s usually in the art house business suddenly decides to try something else, this raises eyebrows. When Pedro Almodovar’s ‘La Piel Que Habito’ came out in 2011, the critics were severely divided. A loud and extravagant Frankestein-ish horror? Well yeah, that’s exactly what it is, and its briljant. Antonio Banderas stars as a twisted plastic surgeon trying to create the perfect synthetic skin. In order to do so, he needs a guinea pig… Read more

DIRECTOR: André Øvredal CAST: Otto Jespersen Robert Stoltenberg Knut Nærum
What would be the result if you’d crossbreed ‘The Blair Witch’ with some Scandinavian folkloric tale? Well, ‘Trolljegeren’ probably comes pretty close. One of the finest found footage horror films you are likely to find, this Norwegian gem evolves around a bunch of journalists traveling to the far north of the country in pursuit of giants trolls. The film is scary at times for sure, but it’s biggest strength is the faux earnestness of the whole project. ‘Trolljegeren’ proves scary movies can be funny too. Read more
