Bliss (2019)
A brilliant painter facing the worst creative block of her life turns to anything she can to complete her masterpiece, spiraling into a hallucinatory hellscape of drugs, sex and murder in the sleazy underbelly of Los Angeles.
My thoughts: Like getting super high and then having someone scream at your for an hour and change.
2/5
Bloody Hell (2020)
A man with a mysterious past flees the country to escape his own personal hell – only to arrive somewhere much, much worse.
My thoughts: The goofiness keeps it from being genuinely scary, but it’s a fun ride nevertheless.
4/5
Satan’s Slaves: Communion (2022)
A family moves into an apartment, believing it to be a safe place, but they soon realize this might not be the case once they get to know their neighbors.
My thoughts: A fantastic follow-up to the original (remake) with one of the most horrifying elevator sequences ever committed to film.
4/5
Revenge (2016)
Widow Ruth is seven months pregnant when, believing herself to be guided by her unborn baby, she embarks on a homicidal rampage, dispatching anyone who stands in her way.
My thoughts: Strong premise. Weak execution. A one act movie devoid of surprises.
2.5/5
The Devil’s Candy (2015)
A struggling painter’s possessed by dark forces after he and his young family move into their dream home in rural Texas, in this creepy haunted-house tale.
A dark and disturbing descent into heavy metal horror. What makes it so eerily effective is the character work and performances that actually make us care for these people.
4/5
