In addition to my 2025 ranking above - here are a few I’ve watched recently that I don’t see mentioned that often and a few my kids enjoy for Halloween every year: - Strange Harvest - if you enjoy mockumentaries/found footage this is definitely worth a watch. Production value and acting is a step above what you would typically see in this subgenre. 6.5/10 (rent) - Braindead/Dead Alive - I hadn’t seen this in probably 20 years and holy shit what a ride. Peter Jackson was in to some weird shit. One of the goriest movie ever made - but in a lovable way?? 8.5/10 (hard to find) - Beast of War - Low budget Australian b-movie but hard to go wrong with WW2 and a terrifying shark. Acting was pretty good as well. 6/10 (rental) - Match - I didn’t like this as much as some others on this thread, but still worth a free watch on Tubi. The protagonist was just too worthless and it fizzled towards the end for me. 4.5/10 (Tubi) - The Long Walk - One of my favorite SK books and this lived up to the hype for me. 8/10 (Rental) - Rituals (1977) - If you are a fan of Deliverance, this is a must-see. 7.5/10 (Prime, Tubi) - Good Boy - I enjoyed this for what it was - props for bringing something original to the table and it had some legit scares. 6.5/10 (Rent) - V/H/S Halloween - probably 2nd best in the series for me. I think if this got a theater release and more exposure it would be big for the masses. 7.5/10 (Shudder) - The Pit (1981) - If you are in to early 80s weirdness, this will scratch that itch. 6.5/10 (Tubi) - Cure - I mentioned this before in this thread. If you enjoy slow-burn Asian horror this is an absolute must see. I lost sleep over this shit. 10/10 (rent) - Frewaka - One of the better folk horror movies I’ve seen in awhile. 7.5/10 (shudder) - Pater Noster and the Mission of Light - In to extremely low budget crazy-ass cult shit? This is for you. 7/ 10 (rent) - The Coffee Table - I don’t even know what to say here. Easily the most uncomfortable subject matter on this list. It’s a dark comedy so that gives it some wiggle room I guess? Just….I warned you. 6.5/10 (shudder, Tubi) - Red Rooms - Not necessarily horror but one of the best movies of the last couple years imo. I’ve seen it 3 times and end up having a different take every time. 9.5/10 (shudder) - Ghost Watch - If you havent seen this, do it. This was filmed as a news special back in the 80s - similar to Dateline or 20/20 and it freaked an entire country out. 9/10 (Shudder) - Freddie Freako - Homage to Ghoulies, Puppet Master, even Garbage Pail Kids (but really good). Same director that did the great Psycho Gorman (must see) and The Void. 7/10 (Shudder, Tubi) - Candyland - Lot lizards getting picked off by a serial killer. Lots of nudity and violence. This was a true hidden gem. 6.5/10 (Shudder, Tubi) - The Innocents (1961) - Absolute classic and holds up well. My teenager wasn’t excited about it but ended up loving it. 9.5/10 (rent) - Trick r Treat - My families Halloween tradition. 7.5/10 (Max) - The Orphanage - Another one we try to revisit every couple years. 9/10 (rent) - Lake Mungo - #3 on the Wutang family tradition list. People hate this or love it. I think it’s awesome. 8/10 (Tubi) Here are some personal favorite FF movies that you might not have heard of: - Milk & Serial - Butterfly Kisses - Jeruzulem - Delivery: The Beast Within (slow but brutal) - Europa Report - The Tunnel - Borderlands - Wer - Afflicted - Missing: Life of Belle (Not great but the ending is shocking) - There are Monsters - The Sacrement - Taking of Deborah Logan
