I think we can all agree Jeff Buckley’s cover of Hallelujah qualifies here

I've seen multiple snow pics from @lcornelas.bsky.social and @katiew.bsky.social already this year from NM. Dont pretend your weather is superior to the Canada you left!! Soon you'll be speaking Fahrenheit.

Woman in the Yard is a good parable of suicide, I liked it more then expected based on the reviews. Boogeyman was fun too, I agree.

1. The Outwaters (2023)
This highly polarizing film is as disorienting as a David Lynch film but as beautiful as a Terence Malick film. A cosmic found footage horror that rapidly pivots from slow and benign to confusing and horrifying. The imagery of this stuck with and haunted me like few films do

2. X (2022)
To me, X is to the 2020s what Scream was to the 1990s. Its an entertaining slasher with a great cast, soundtrack and aesthetic, but also a love letter to horror movies filled with easter eggs to classics like Texas Chainsaw, Psycho and Shining. This is Ti West firing on all cylinders.

3. Talk to Me (2023)
A group of teens use the mummified hand of a psychic to channel spirits like a party favor, but fun turns to darkness when they lose control of the situation. The debut film of the Phillipou bros (who went on to make Bring Her Back), solidifies them as a voice of modern horror.

4. Bring Her Back (2025)
This movie is not fucking around. In the vein of Hereditary, this is a family oriented grief drama that is wrapped in horror. Sally Hawkins delivers the performance of the year as a foster parent who takes in 2 orphans, but has a dark agenda. This will leave you gutted.

5. In a Violent Nature (2024)
As a slasher fan I loved how this turns the genre on its head. Imagine if Terrence Malick made Friday the 13th but in the style of Gus van Sant's Elephant where the camera passively follows our anti-hero. Beautifully shot with some crazy kills, but highly polarizing.

Im so torn. I didnt find it scary at all. It was entertaining but the tone of the movie just went from mystery thriller to then oddly comedic during the climax into kind of a depressing conclusion. Ive watched twice and just can't love it, but I am not sure how to identify what its missing.

This movie is not on enough people’s radar.

6. Barbarian (2022)
What starts as an Airbnb mix up nightmare pivots into something much more bizarre. Incredibly effective in suspense building and then slapping you in the face with one of the largest plot twists ever, this holds as one of great horrors of the 2020s even with its absurd final act

7. Smile 2 (2024)
Arguably one of the best horror sequels. Naomi Scott carries this with an all time great performance of a pop star who inherits the cursed entity. So many great aspects of this movie, the opening single shot scene, the car accident, the dance troupe An anxiety inducing mind fuck.

8. The Substance (2024)
Demi Moore gives a career defining performance as an aging starlet who takes a mysterious substance to create a younger/better version of herself. While a solid allegory of fading beauty, its the wild body horror twists and turns in the final act that take this to greatness.

9. Strange Darling (2024)
Using a fractured narrative structure and inconsistent chronology, this feels like if Tarantino made a serial killer movie through a Brian DePalma lens. Carried by two incredible lead performances, this is a masterclass in making you second guess your expectations.

10. Host (2020)
At a lean 60 min run time, Host is the most brutally effective webcam style horror movies ever. The quintessential pandemic movie, this was filmed and released all within the first few months of lockdown and follows a group of girls who run a seance over zoom with horrific results.

11. Sinners (2025)
Sinners is the rare combination of an epic level studio horror as well as a cerebral movie that uses the horror medium to comment on larger societal issues, and surprisingly succeeds at both. Full throttle entertainment from start to finish with the best movie soundtrack in years
