Stars: Julie Benz, Allegra Masters, Michael NardelliĬlever indie filmmakers can make something out of nothing.Like I said in my review, “Those who want something profound will be utterly doomed, while others who love to laugh through questionable pulp that aims to entertain might find more enlightenment than they expect.” Circle (2015) Expect more than just memeable moments of Crowe zipping around on his scooter. The film understands that the least exciting part of most exorcism films is the exorcism itself, building this zany Vatican demmon-chasing world around Russell Crowe’s Father Gabriele Amorth. I will say that The Pope’s Exorcist is more fun than you’d expect. I won’t say The Pope’s Exorcist is a horror masterclass. Stars: Russell Crowe, Daniel Zovatto, Alex Essoe, Franco Nero.It’s the moment where a Great White sneaks up on a diver like Jason Voorhees lurking behind a counselor that won me over, so if you’re into a campier brand of aquatic horror, Unchanged should be on your list.

Uncaged instead leans into the more B-Movie nature of fin flicks, turning the movie into an underwater slasher riff where the sharks are the killer. The original nails the basics of shark cinema like the best have in the past, which this sequel doesn’t try to match. I won’t lie and say the 47 Meters Down sequel is better than 47 Meters Down.

Stars: Sophie Nélisse, Corinne Foxx, Sistine Stallone.

The Strangers is horrifyingly relevant and needs nothing more than to implode the idea of our houses being safe spaces like few home invasion films have, and ever will, deliver. Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman give tremendous performances as victims caught in an unthinkable cat-and-mouse scenario. It’s a home invasion film based purely on coincidence, which is the most frightening predicament. “Because you were home,” a line that will live in horror-movie infamy thanks to The Strangers. Stars: Liv Tyler, Scott Speedman, Glenn Howerton.The Swedish commentary on greedy business folk comes with a nasty savageness and cheeky workplace satires, comparable to other winning work retreat horror tales like Severance. Kills all have a taste of the great outdoors since the film takes place at a woodland work retreat, from machetes through hammocks to a splashy jacuzzi death. It’s a furious “Worksploitation” slasher that puts a knife to the throat of scummy corporate culture. Work sucks, but luckily The Conference doesn’t.

Stars: Katia Winter, Adam Lundgren, Eva Melander.

Sometimes the scariest enemy is what we can't understand, and Us isn't afraid to keep us cowering in the dark. Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke are tremendous as both their fearful selves and tethered attackers, helping Peele tell a mind-freaky story about 'haves' and 'have nots.' It's never meant to be straightforward and leaves so much up to interpretation, but that becomes the film's beguiling signature. Us is rich with biblical references, doppelganger horrors, and classist storytelling in an ambitiously eerie package. Jordan Peele's weakest effort is still the best some filmmakers can ever dream of achieving.

Stars: Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker.
