Caveat, or, Odd Jobs
Damian Mc Carthy’s first feature-length movie seems like it shouldn’t work at all, but it’s driven by the most fundamental force in horror and suspense movies.

Oddity, or, Golem-in-Law
Damian Mc Carthy’s second feature somehow manages to be genuinely chilling while also as fun as an episode of Tales from the Crypt

The Long Goodbye, or, The Proto-Lebowski?
I tried really hard to like the 70s noir classic, but I ended up just having to appreciate it

The Primevals, or, Mighty Joe Older Than I Thought
The Yeti-hunting adventure from 2023 is a showcase for stop-motion animation that looks old-school because it is

Phantasm, or, Ow, My Balls!
One of the scariest movies from my childhood turns out to be charmingly weird and nonsensical

Psycho III, or, Crane in Vain
Psycho III is the sequel that really understands the original and gives it exactly the amount of reverence it deserves

Psycho II, or, Repro Bates
If you’re going to insist on making a movie that doesn’t need to exist, you could do worse than the sequel to Psycho

Willow Creek, or, A Night in the Woods
An amateur documentary traveling to the area of the most famous Sasquatch sighting results in one of the scariest scenes I’ve seen in any movie.

Exists, or, Found Bigfootage
The found footage movie Exists isn’t even a little bit good, but at least it chooses the right side

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, or, Simon Dice
A series I never would’ve expected to like actually turns out to have one fun, entertaining entry. No spoilers.

The Long Good Friday, or, Thames Bits
The late 70s British gangster movie is the kind of movie they don’t make anymore, and honestly weren’t making back then, either

The Wretched, or, Good Salt Circles Make Good Neighbors
The Wretched is a pretty fun indie horror movie that’s most notable for its point of view (Spoilers after a warning)
