At The Devil's Door (2014)

Molly Henery

It created such a feeling of unease leaving me thoroughly creeped out long after the movie ended (without necessarily having any big in-your-face scares).

Witching and Bitching (2014)

Molly Henery

It was exciting, suspenseful, creepy, and truly hilarious. The situations these men get themselves into over and over again keep you laughing from start to finish, without being too hokey.

The Monster Squad (1987)

Molly Henery

This film really has everything you could want from a light-hearted eighties horror flick. It is witty, it has great practical effects, the storyline is very original, and it appeals to people of all ages.

V/H/S: Viral (2014)

Molly Henery

I think aside from the shorts being more nonsensical and not even remotely scary, the thing that upset me the most was the overarching storyline of "Vicious Circles."

Mr. Jones (2014)

Molly Henery

It's creepy, it has great acting, a unique storyline, and it is the kind of film you can discuss with people long after it's over and still find new things to talk about.

Horns (2014)

Molly Henery

If the fact that the film stars Harry Potter isn't enough for you (it was enough for me), then see it because it's a good story that is not only dark and ominous but also has some hilarity mixed in.

Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011)

This movie had a couple scary moments, but it is nothing compared to the first film or it's Spanish predecessors.

Hostel: Part III (2011)

Molly Henery

I really was pleasantly surprised with this film. It was funny, it was gory, it had great twists, and it updated an old storyline in a genius way.

It Follows (2015)

Please go see this movie. It is the kind of movie that makes you think about it for days afterwards, which means they did a great job.

Honeymoon (2014)

Molly Henery

This movie really could have been great. It had all the right tools at it's disposal. Unfortunately, the storyline took an odd turn that left me scratching my head.

The Houses October Built (2014)

Molly Henery

In my opinion, this film did not get as much credit as it deserved. While the ending was a bit lackluster, the overall storyline was very interesting and creepy.

Unfriended (2015)

Molly Henery

It worked as a way to teach teens to be more compassionate when it comes to cyber bullying, and it effectively demonstrated that whatever you put on the internet is there forever.

The Babadook (2014)

Molly Henery

It had amazing acting, a creative storyline, and it still was able to give me the heebie jeebies. It's a horror film with a deeper meaning about how people deal with grief after the death of a loved one.

The Canal (2014)

Molly Henery

It really was everything I want in a horror film; scary, beautiful, excellent acting, and a storyline that is both simple and imaginative at the same time. This is definitely the kind of film that will be on my mind for quite a while.

Jessabelle (2014)

Molly Henery

If you're looking for a classic ghost story that also has a unique storyline, this is the movie for you. It had all the elements of a great ghost story, but it also added a little something extra with the voodoo.

The Remaining (2014)

Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)

Insidious: Chapter 3 was very successful in the sense that it delivered the scares and kept your eyes glued to the screen.

Late Phases (2014)

While this is not my favorite werewolf movie, it was still well done. I appreciated the use of practical effects and it was a pretty unique storyline.

Animal (2014)

Molly Henery

This film is predictable, stereotypical, and has some plot holes that drove me nuts. Despite these shortcomings, the acting, practical effects, and healthy amount of gore still make the film fun to watch.

Dark Summer (2015)

Molly Henery

It was a unique idea and I feel like if I read it as a book, I would have enjoyed it more. Unfortunately it wasn't executed well in movie form. It was just generally boring and not even remotely scary at any point in time.

The Gallows (2015)

Molly Henery

The problem is that all the scary scenes were shown in the trailers, there were too many unanswered questions, and they made Charlie almost a bit humorous.

What We Do In The Shadows (2015)

Molly Henery

I would definitely suggest horror fans share with their friends or family that may be weary of horror films. It is not scary at all, it is so amusing, and it perfectly fuses comical scenarios with creatures typically associated with scary movies.

Maggie (2015)

It does an excellent job of telling an effective story of strong family bonds, that just happens to involve zombies.

The Guest (2014)

Molly Henery

I will be keeping an eye out for more films directed by Adam Wingard. From what I have seen of his work Wingard perfectly blends horror, suspense, despicable villains (that you can't help but like), amazing music, and strong female characters.

Dark Was The Night (2015)

In general, the acting was excellent (especially Durand). I also loved that they took a creative, original story line and turned it into an exceptionally creepy film.

Sinister 2 (2015)

Molly Henery

It had the potential to be as good as the first film, but the filmmakers made unfortunate choices that diluted the main story line and overexposed everything that was supposed to be scary.

Extinction (2015)

Molly Henery

They tried to create something with a deeper story focusing on the survivors, while also updating the zombies into something more terrifying. Unfortunately, it just fell a bit flat.

The Pyramid (2014)

Molly Henery

This is a film with many flaws, and any critic can spot that. Despite this, it is still a fun watch. Likely someone who has an interest in ancient history and mythology would enjoy it more than other viewers.

The Green Inferno (2015)

I'd say that as a whole this was a successful project by Eli Roth. There are obviously aspects of the film that did not work within the context of the story.

The Boy (2015)

Molly Henery

With how slow the film is, and the fact that all the action only really occurs within the last 15 minutes of the film (and even then it isn't that action packed), I would say this film is definitely not for everyone.

The Final Girls (2015)

There was an interesting story, it made fun of itself, it honored the classics, can be touching at times, and I don't think I stopped laughing the entire time.

Crimson Peak (2015)

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015)

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is an entertaining film with lots of good scares. It also had an interesting plot that brought a fitting end to the Paranormal Activity franchise.

Krampus (2015)

Krampus is a film that will be added to my list of Christmas movies I have to watch every year. It ties in old traditions with how the holidays are today.

Nightlight (2015)

Molly Henery

I felt like it was an interesting idea, there were definitely times where I jumped, and it had a really cute dog in it named Kramer. There were just more parts that I didn't enjoy that outweigh the good.

Goodnight Mommy (Ich seh, Ich seh) (2015)

Molly Henery

The acting was great, it had a lot of visual interest, but they gave away the twist too early. Knowing the twist at the beginning of an hour and a half long film makes it feel incredibly dull.

The Forest (2016)

Molly Henery

The film simply failed to create a complete mythology in their plot based on the real life myths. The result felt like pieces of several different stories chopped up and thrown together in a way that lacked substance and scares.

Re-Animator (1985)

Molly Henery

Re-Animator is a cult classic for good reason. Whatever it lacks in the scares, it greatly makes up for in weirdness and humor. It's a fun story with a bizarre cast of characters.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)
