In this week's Halloween Special we reviewed five big spooky releases of this season! No spoilers unless otherwise stipulated.
Strange Darling - a 2023 American thriller film written and directed by JT Mollner and starring Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner. Nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer's vicious murder spree.
The Substance - a 2024 satirical body horror film written, directed, and co-produced by Coralie Fargeat, starring Demi Moore and Margeret Qualley. Elisabeth Sparkle, renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday as her boss fires her. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself.
Speak No Evil - a 2024 American psychological horror thriller film written and directed by James Watkins, starring James McAvoy, Scoot McNairy and Mackenzie Davis. A remake of the 2022 Danish-Dutch film the film sees dream holiday turns into a living nightmare when an American couple and their daughter spend the weekend at a British family's idyllic country estate.
In A Violent Nature - a 2024 Canadian slasher film written and directed by Chris Nash, and starring Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, and Lauren-Marie Taylor. When a group of teens takes a locket from a collapsed fire tower in the woods, they unwittingly resurrect the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime. The undead killer soon embarks on a bloody rampage to retrieve the stolen locket, methodically slaughtering anyone who gets in his way.
Handsome Guys (핸섬가이즈) - a 2024 South Korean black comedy horror film written and directed by Nam Dong-hyeop, starring Lee Sung-min, Lee Hee-joon, Gong Seung-yeon, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung. A remake of the 2010 Canadian horror-comedy film Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, the film centres around self-proclaimed tough guy 'Jae-pil' and 'Sang-gu' who finally move into their dream European-style house, when unwanted visitors arrive, awakening a sealed evil spirit in the basement.
