My favorites of the new-to-me horror movies I watched in October:
Open Water 2 (2006)
Child’s Play (1988)
The Shallows (2017)
Lake Mungo (2008)
Open Water 2 (2006)
Child’s Play (1988)
The Shallows (2017)
Lake Mungo (2008)
Open Water 2 takes the first movie’s chilling and spare premise and hybridizes it with a classic slasher, which I love
Child’s Play is a movie I did not expect to be super engaged by but I loved it; it’s scarier than I imagined it could be and is a master class in COMMITTING to a cheesy premise
The Shallows delighted me because it’s a survival story and asks the question a lot of horror movies ask, which is what kind of strength could a young woman find if she had to dig extremely deep, but asks it without the traditional side of sexual violence
Lake Mungo was an @o_rinocoflow recommendation and it’s scary in a way I can’t define, but that is made of intense sadness. I love a ghost movie whose scares come from something creepy crawling into your soul, and this is it
