Working off a list of some 200 movies you helpfully recommended, I have commenced my Horror Marathon. How long will I go and, more importantly, how many will I get through? Who knows?!
Evolution (2016)
On a remote island, young boys are subjected to a series of strange medical treatments. One day, one of the boys, 11 year old Nicolas, makes a disturbing discovery beneath the waves…
Thoughts: Spookily atmosphere, but sedate and slow-paced.
3/5
Super Dark Times (2017)
Zach and Josh have been best friends their whole lives, but when a gruesome accident leads to a cover-up, the secret drives a wedge between them, propelling them down a rabbit hole of escalating paranoia and violence.
Thoughts: Not horror, but a pretty solid thriller. It does a great job of ratcheting up the tension while turning the screws on our main players. I only wish there had been a more logical progression to our antagonist’s dark plotting.
4/5
Revenge (2017)
Jen’s romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend is interrupted when his friends arrive for an impromptu hunting trip. Tensions mount until things take a dark and unexpected turn.
Thoughts: Not horror, but a slick, engrossing revenge actioner that insists you check your sense of logic at the door.
