Halloween Has Creeped Up On Us
Feeling spooky this week? Here are five of our member’s movies you should check out. Also don’t forget to tune into our “WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HORROR” webinar happening this Friday, to hear about how some of our amazing members are using genre film to get their voices heard!
THE PURGATION by Elaine Chu. A filmmaker tries to prove herself by taking an assignment at an abandoned insane asylum that she visited as a child, and she’s forced to confront haunting memories within its decaying walls.
WITHIN, by Hanelle Culpepper. After witnessing the murder of her mother, Rachel and her father make a new start by moving to a new town. After befriending classmate Michelle Lowe, Rachel soon realises that her new `best friend’ may not be the girl she first appeared to be.
DARK MOUNTAIN, by Tara Anaïse. In March of 2011, three filmmakers disappeared in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona while documenting their search for the Lost Dutchman mine. Their bodies were never found, but their camera was.
BLEED WITH ME, by Amelia Moses. A psychological horror film that explores the intersections of admiration, compulsion, and obsession. Rowan, a vulnerable outsider, is thrilled when the seemingly perfect Emily invites her on a winter getaway to an isolated cabin in the woods. Trust soon turns to paranoia when Rowan wakes up with mysterious incisions on her arm. Haunted by dream-like visions, Rowan starts to suspect that her friend is drugging her and stealing her blood.
AMERICAN SYCHO, by Mary Harron. In New York City in 1987, a handsome, young urban professional, Patrick Bateman lives a second life as a gruesome serial killer by night. This is a classic. A biting, wry comedy examining the elements that make a man a monster.
