Given the disappointing year that was 2025, I’ve decided to up my horror film intake in 2026.  So in addition to the Korean movie marathon, I will also be checking out all 2026 horror releases with at least a 6+ (ish) rating on imdb.  Starting with this trio…

Redux Redux

A mother murders her daughter’s killer across myriad alternate realities.

My thoughts: I liked the premise and the heartbreaking “reunion scene”, but this one suffered from too many contrivances.

3/5

Obex

Conor Marsh’s secluded life disrupted when he plays OBEX game. His dog Sandy disappears, blurring reality and game. Conor enters OBEX world to rescue Sandy, navigating its strange realms.

My thoughts: Weirdly charming in its low budget, oddball way.

3.5/5

Primate

A group of friends’ tropical vacation turns into a terrifying, primal tale of horror and survival.

My thoughts: A deadly mix of outrageously clumsy teens and one ludicrously sadistic killer monkey.

2.5/5
