When The Sixth Sense was released in 1999, it was such a big hit, thanks to the amazing talent behind the film. It’s one of M. Night Shyamalan’s best movies, if not the best one, and Bruce Willis gives an incredible performance as Malcolm Crowe, a therapist trying to help Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment).

Horror fans love the massive twist in The Sixth Sense when it turns out that Malcolm is dead and he understands that he was shot. He has been grieving his wife Anna (Olivia Williams) this entire time but he has also been a spirit himself, which is both creepy and brilliant. But besides this smart plot twist, what else is there to celebrate about this popular movie? There are several reasons why The Sixth Sense still feels like an important horror movie, several decades after its release.

GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

RELATED: Scream 25 Years Later: Why Was It So Important?

The Sixth Sense has a timeless horror movie plot twist, but there are some other things to love and celebrate about the film. Unlike other horror films about scary kids, The Sixth Sense does a great job of creating empathy for Cole and what he’s going through. The movie gives Cole and Malcolm equal weight, showing that they have both experienced a lot of pain in their lives, despite the big age difference between them.

While there are many scary moments in the film as fans learn about Cole’s big secret, fans can sympathize with Cole’s mother’s desire for him to fit in and make friends and have more fun in his life. It’s easy to cheer Cole on and hope that Malcolm can help him find more joy in his life. Although The Sixth Sense is remembered as a terrifying movie, and it definitely has its moments, it also has sweet scenes and lots of emotion.


Mischa Barton as Kyra in The Sixth Sense

While Mischa Barton is known for her portrayal of Marissa Cooper in the teen drama The O.C., she played Kyra Collins in The Sixth Sense, a young girl whose mother actually poisoned her. It was a horrifying thing to watch and has stuck with audiences ever since. This scene is one reason why The Sixth Sense is still an important horror movie that has endured all of these years. Without this moment, the movie not feel as scary. It added to the feeling that anything could happen to kids in this movie, from cruel parents to seeing ghosts.

In an oral history of The Sixth Sense with Variety, Barton said that she wasn’t scared to film the scene because she likes things that are scary. Barton said, “creepy is part of my vernacular. It doesn’t really bother me that much. I’ve always been fascinated by gothic and dark things. So, it wasn’t like I was scared. It was more just really interesting subject matter. I’ve always felt like there’s a real need to do the character justice. Everybody just asks, “Was it traumatizing?” It really wasn’t. I was already 13 and I could handle it.”



Haley Joel Osment as Cole and Bruce Willis as Malcolm in The Sixth Sense

While there are many iconic horror movie quotes, including some great quotes from Scream 2022 that became instant classics, no one can ever forget the moment when Cole tells Malcolm, “I see dead people.” When audiences find out that Malcolm is dead, the connection between these two characters feels even more important and special. It’s hard to think of a more horrifying moment than seeing an adorable, innocent child say that thay can see ghosts all the time.

M Night. Shyamalan told Variety that CGI wasn’t really developed when the movie was being filmed so they did something else instead. Shyamalan explained, “CGI at that time was not perfected to the place where I felt comfortable that it could do breaths. So, we built a cold room. [Osment] wasn’t acting, it was cold, and you could see the physicality on his skin and the way he’s shivering. And even now, with CGI, I might do it the same way because of what it makes the actors do.”


Osment told Rotten Tomatoes that they didn’t expect this quote to go so far: the actor said, “Nobody circled that line or highlighted it or put it on the call sheet as a tag line or something that would come to kind of symbolize the film. I think it took us all by surprise when it sort of had a life of its own after the movie came out.”

With terrifying scenes, great characters, and a bond between Cole and Malcolm that teaches Cole a lot while helping Malcolm move on from this world, it’s no wonder that The Sixth Sense has long been considered one of the greatest horror movies ever made.

Can you feel it? Halloween is in the air, and October is going to be packed with horror offerings. So, consider September the calm before the Halloween storm. That doesn’t mean it’ll be a wasteland for horror offerings; there’s still plenty of new movies and shows to sink your teeth into.

The third season of FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows” kicks off on September 2, reuniting us with our favorite vampire roommates. The new season will see the housemates panic about handling the revelation of Guillermo’s vampire killer lineage. The vampires will also deal with a power upgrade, a tempting Siren, gargoyles, werewolf kickball, Atlantic City casinos, wellness cults, ex-girlfriends, gyms, and supernatural curiosities galore. Plus, Colin Robinson is turning 100. 

September 2 also brings the release of new Shudder original Superhost. Still/Born and Z‘s Brandon Christensen takes on the horror-comedy, pitting vacation vloggers against an unhinged super host. Look for horror mainstay Barbara Crampton.

‘We Need to Do Something’

With no rescue in sight and hours slip into days, teen Melissa (Sierra McCormick) begins to suspect she might be responsible for the horrors plaguing her family and threatening the world. The horrors of We Need to Do Something arrive in limited theaters, digital and VOD on September 3.

September 3 also brings Burial Ground Massacre to digital platforms. Michael Madsen stars in the film that follows a group of college students who spend a night at an old, eerie manor, only to realize that a terrifying stalker is watching their every move.

Sixteen years after making her horror debut in Wolf Creek, actress Cassandra Macgrath is back in Witches of Blackwood, with a day-and-date DVD and Premium TVOD release on September 7. McGrath stars as Claire, “who, following the death of her mother, returns to her hometown, to discover it riddled with witchcraft and overshadowed by a mysterious darkness, steeped in rumors of a soul-stealing entity. As she seeks the truth behind her mother’s death, a confrontation with a coven of witches is the only way to survive.”

“Armed with a few good scares and lush production design, Ruth Platt’s film is a gentle ghost mystery filtered through the eyes of a child,” our own Joe Lipsett said in his review of Martyr’s Lane. Look for this ghostly mystery from a child’s perspective when it arrives on Shudder on September 9.

The seven-episode limited series “Midnight Mass” tells the tale of a small, isolated island community whose existing divisions are amplified by the return of a disgraced young man (Zach Gilford) and the arrival of a charismatic priest (Hamish Linklater).

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Scary movies are as much a part of Halloween season as trick or treating, costumes, and jumping out of the bushes to give your younger sibling a scare.

While there are literally thousands upon thousands of horror movies to choose from, those searching for a taste of Ohio to enjoy with their bucket of bite-size candy this month don’t have quite as many choices.

However, there are some highly regarded (and some not so much) horror films set in (mostly fictional) Ohio locations.

Below are 10 of the more famous and infamous horror films set in Ohio.

Deadbeat at Dawn

Filmed on a shoestring budget over four years in Dayton, Ohio, this 1988 cult favorite tells the story of the leader of a street gang looking to retire until he finds his girlfriend beaten to death by a rival gang. The film evokes a low-budget early Quentin Tarantino vibe without the pop culture references or, honestly, filmmaking skills, but you can tell the filmmakers had a passion for making the movie.

Deadly Blessing

Set at the fictional Our Blessing farm in an unnamed Ohio location, this film from Cleveland native Wes Craven (a name that appears a lot on this list) is known mostly for featuring Sharon Stone in an early role and Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine chewing up the scenery as the head of an Amish-like religious sect that may or may not be coming after a woman who loses her ex-sect member husband in a tractor “accident.”

ThanksKilling

By no means is this a good film. However, filmed in Granville, Ohio, it is one of those “so bad, it’s good” entries that follows a group of travelers being stalked by a “fowl”-mouthed murderous turkey. The bird puns fly fast and furious (as do the feathers and gore) in a no-budget effort best enjoyed late in the evening. Oh, and there’s a sequel, too… called ThanksKilling 3.

The Faculty

Paying homage to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this Robert Rodriguez-directed film starred a who’s who of late 90s young actors including pre-Hobbit Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Jordana Brewster, as well as appearances by Jon Stewart, Salma Hayek, and Famke Janssen. A student at a high school in fictional Herrington, Ohio, finds the school nurse dead one minute, alive the next, setting off a battle between the students and whatever is taking over the faculty.

Trick ‘r Treat

Set in the fictional Warren Valley, Ohio, this anthology film centers around one Halloween night, interweaving five separate narratives that all come to a head with the introduction of one of the 2000s most endearing horror mascots, Sam.

Scream 2

This sequel to Wes Craven’s genre-skewering original moves the setting from California to the fictional Windsor College in Ohio. Much like the first Scream, this sequel uses horror movie tropes to inform the story and shows that much like other horror follow-ups, no one is safe.

Super 8

J.J. Abrams’ ode to young backyard filmmakers is equal parts terrifying and heartwarming. Set in an unnamed Ohio town, the movie follows a group of young amateur filmmakers who happen to catch a train derailment on film while making a movie. What follows next is a Spielberg-ian tale of monsters, friendship, and families.

Heathers

Set in the fictional town Sherwood, Ohio, this early vehicle in the careers of Christian Slater and Winona Ryder is more dark comedy than an out-right horror film. However, the dark tale of high school outcasts taking on the popular clique is good for scaring up a few laughs.

The Silence of the Lambs

The climactic confrontation of this multi-Academy Award-winning film was set in an unnamed Ohio town. While no filming took place in the Buckeye state, Clarice Starling’s solo investigation and her confrontation with the film’s serial killer are both set in Ohio. Arguably the best film on this list.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Set in the fictional town of Springwood, Ohio, Wes Craven’s seminal 1980s horror movie spawned six sequels, a slasher crossover, a less-than-stellar remake, and merchandise encompassing everything from children’s toys to replica razor gloves. Featuring cultural icon Freddy Kruger, this series combined witty one-liners with the silent serial killer gimmick, making the character the most talkative of the 80s slashers. While the series can be an exercise in diminishing returns, the original is a horror classic, Dream Warriors plays with superhero tropes at a time when Iron Man was mostly known as a heavy metal song, and New Nightmare was Craven dipping his toes into meta-commentary before meta-commentary in horror became a genre unto itself.

Honorable mention:

Zombieland and Zombieland: Double Tap

This horror-comedy franchise does not take place in Ohio, but with characters identified by their hometowns (it’s a thing – just go with it), Jesse Eisenberg’s character identifies himself as a Columbus native.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Scary movies are as much a part of Halloween season as trick or treating, costumes, and jumping out of the bushes to give your younger sibling a scare.

While there are literally thousands upon thousands of horror movies to choose from, those searching for a taste of Ohio to enjoy with their bucket of bite-size candy this month don’t have quite as many choices.

However, there are some highly regarded (and some not so much) horror films set in (mostly fictional) Ohio locations.

Welcome to our guide of the best-reviewed horror movies directed by women! The first directors to break ground were Stephanie Rothman in the 1970s with cult film The Velvet Vampire, and Kathryn Bigelow in the ’80s with another vampiric film, the neo-Western Near Dark. (Bigelow, of course, would go on to make further history as the first woman to win the Best Director Oscar for Zero Dark Thirty.) Still, it would take many more years for the horror space to truly open up. The ’90s, generally regarded as a weak decade for horror, had no Fresh or Certified Fresh films directed by women. The 2000s saw some pick-up with American Psycho, Amer, and In My Skin.

The 2010s were a watershed decade for horror: The genre became an engine that elevated underserved voices and adroitly exposed societal ills and terrors. Over 30 horror movies directed by women were marked Fresh and Certified Fresh in the 2010s, establishing names like Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid), Julia Ducournau (Raw) and more. The 2020s continue strong with Leigh Janiak (Fear Street trilogy) and Nia DaCosta (Candyman).

We’ll be adding to this list as horror continues to grow and evolve. Now, discover the best horror movies directed by women!

To make a truly iconic horror film – one that becomes part of the wider cultural fabric, while still being beloved by genre die-hards – you need to get so many things right. You need a killer concept, something so hooky, so smart but simple, that it instantly takes purchase – like the dream-battlegrounds of A Nightmare On Elm Street, or the ‘you watch the tape, and then you die’ conceit of Ring. You need an image that burns its way into the public consciousness and transcends its origins – like a pair of ghost-girl twins standing in a hallway, or a knife-wielding boogeyman in an inside-out William Shatner mask. You need a properly great protagonist to root for – one who’ll linger as long in the memory as the forces of evil they’re battling, like an Ash or a Laurie Strode. And finally, you need an all-timer villain able to strike true fear, turning real-life horrors into something heightened and cinematic – a Ghostface, or a Xenomorph, or a Pennywise.

Get Out has it all. With his directorial debut, Jordan Peele created something that instantly felt like A Moment as well as a movie. He got that killer concept down – a Black American man uncovers all-new levels of appropriation when visiting his white girlfriend’s parents. He served up all kinds of indelible images – Daniel Kaluuya’s hypnotised Chris with his eyes wide and tears pouring down his cheeks as Catherine Keener’s Missy puts him under her influence; his inky descent into the Sunken Place; LaKeith Stanfield’s Andre and his horrified expression having briefly snapped back to reality at the family gathering; Allison Williams’ Rose eating her Fruit Loops separately from her milk. He gave us one of the most empathetic horror leads in years, Kaluuya bringing so much charm to Chris, while also portraying his world-weariness when Rose is apparently oblivious to the discomfort he knows he’ll experience over the course of their visit.

And when it came to horror villains, Peele did not hold back: with the Armitage family, he took aim at white, seemingly-liberal America (“I would have voted for Obama for a third time if I could” is as painful as it is hilarious) and the festering racism that still lies underneath it all. He identifies a nation that wants to commodify Black bodies, culture and talent, but that doesn’t care about Black lives – picking at real scars through a moviefied lens of brainwashing, body-swapping, possession, and torture.

The thematic preoccupations of Get Out run deep – it’s a film that taps into a vein of political consciousness in horror running all the way back through to Romero’s original Night Of The Living Dead. But as a movie-movie – a Friday night, grab-the-popcorn horror – it works brilliantly too, full of satirical wit, crowdpleasing moments (“I’m TS-motherfuckin’-A”), hypnotic setpieces, and delivering a blood-soaked rampage in the final reel. It’s a searing, supremely entertaining, seriously impressive work sure to go down in the halls of horror history – and, in a rare move, even the Academy agreed, with a Best Original Screenplay win, and nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise roars back to life with a brand new movie on Netflix this week, but that’s not the only new horror movie on the horizon this week.

In addition to Leatherface’s return as well as the return of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” several new horror movies are releasing this week. As always, we’ve got the rundown.

Here’s all the new horror releasing February 15-20, 2022!


First up, Here Before is now available on VOD outlets today, a mind-bending nightmare from director Stacey Gregg that stars Andrea Riseborough (Mandy, Possessor).

In the film, “Andrea Riseborough is spellbinding as the distraught mother, haunted by the death of her young daughter, who develops an all-consuming obsession over the neighbor’s girl who she believes is the reincarnation of her child.

“When new neighbors move in, Laura (Riseborough) is awakened from her mundane daily routine of errands and exercise. She becomes transfixed by their young daughter, Megan (Niamh Dornan). Megan’s parents Marie (Eileen O’Higgins) and Chris (Martin McCann) initially don’t seem to mind as Laura offers Megan a ride home from school and an invitation to dinner.

“Her husband Brendon (Jonjo O’Neill) grows concerned as his wife’s infatuation with the young girl spirals into increasingly erratic behavior. Eerily, Megan seemingly knows far too many specific details of their family life and displays similar mannerisms of their dead daughter.

“Is the trauma of losing her child causing Laura to lose grip on reality, or is Megan truly the reincarnation of her daughter?”

It’s not new, per se, but all 44 episodes of the 1980s anthology series “Freddy’s Nightmares” are now streaming for the very first time as of today, exclusively through Screambox!

Based on one of horror’s most storied franchises, “Freddy’s Nightmares” is an anthology series starring the original Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund. Airing from 1988 to 1990, each episode tells a different story of a dark rooted and grim nature that takes place in this fictitious town on Elm Street; the same setting as the A Nightmare on Elm Street films.

Of particular note, the pilot episode, “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, acts as a prequel to Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and was directed by the late Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist). Other notable filmmakers include Mick Garris (Critters 2, Sleepwalkers), William Malone (Scared to Death, Creature, House on Haunted Hill), and Tom McLoughlin (Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives). Robert Englund directed the episodes “Cabin Fever” and “Monkey Dreams”.

Visit www.screambox.com to start streaming “Freddy’s Nightmares” now!


Zombae movie

Looking similar to Warm Bodies, Zombae is the next horror-comedy to explore a relationship between a human and a zombie, and it’s available today through VOD outlets.

In Zombae, “What is a woman to do in the current dating climate? When a suburban housewife discovers that her husband has become a zombie with an appetite for human flesh, she must decide whether to stay in the marriage or wade into the dating pool. As she dips her toe in, she soon finds that the men out there are even worse than her zombie husband! With a little help from her best friend, she decides to make it work – no matter what.”

From director Greg Zekowski (“Ryan’s Mystery Playdate”), the horror-comedy stars Ian Alda (“Dave”), Marieh Delfino (The Invitation), Gina Hecht (“Seinfeld”), Gabe Greenspan (“Wayward Guide”), and Clint Carmichael (“Why Women Kill”).


they live

Jumping over to Thursday, February 17, Shudder’s brand new paranormal horror movie They Live in the Grey will be available, written and directed by Burlee and Abel Vang (Bedeviled).

Michelle Krusiec plays Claire who, while investigating a child abuse case, discovers that the family is being tormented by a supernatural entity. In order to save the family, she must confront her own fears and use her emerging clairvoyance to stop the malevolent force.”

They Live in the Grey also stars Ken Kirby (Good Trouble, Dynasty), Ellen Wroe (For All Mankind, Shameless), and Madelyn Grace (Don’t Breathe 2).

The biggest new release for the week is of course Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a sequel to the original classic that slices its way into Netflix this Friday, February 18th.

David Blue Garcia (Tejano) directed the movie, written by Chris Thomas Devlin.

“After nearly 50 years of hiding, Leatherface returns to terrorize a group of idealistic young friends who accidentally disrupt his carefully shielded world in a remote Texas town.”

“Melody (Sarah Yarkin), her teenage sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), and their friends Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Ruth (Nell Hudson), head to the remote town of Harlow, Texas to start an idealistic new business venture. But their dream soon turns into a waking nightmare when they accidentally disrupt the home of Leatherface, the deranged serial killer whose blood-soaked legacy continues to haunt the area’s residents — including Sally Hardesty (Olwen Fouéré), the sole survivor of his infamous 1973 massacre who’s hell-bent on seeking revenge.”

Mark Burnham (Lowlife) is Old Man Leatherface in Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre.


Nasty 'The Cursed' Clip Performs an Autopsy on a Werewolf, Showing Off the Film's Practical Effects! [Exclusive]

Also on Friday, new werewolf horror movie The Cursed (formerly titled Eight for Silver) will be releasing, although this one will only be playing in movie theaters for now.

The film is said to be a “reimagining of the werewolf legend for a modern-day audience.”

In The Cursed, written and directed by Sean Ellis, “In the late 1800s, a man arrives in a remote country village to investigate an attack by a wild animal but discovers a much deeper and sinister force that has the manor and its townspeople in its grip.”

Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly, and Alistair Petrie star.


unabomber movie

District 9 star Sharlto Copley is Ted Kaczynski in the “Unabomber” movie Ted K, a true crime thriller that comes to select theaters and VOD outlets this Friday, February 18th.

Ted K was directed by Tony Stone. The film is said to feature “a tour-de-force performance from Sharlto Copley, who portrays the complexity of this unique outsider, raging at the forces of both the inescapable technological society that plagues him and his own inner demons.”

“Ted K lives a life of almost complete seclusion in a simple wooden cabin in the mountains of Montana. But then this former university professor, who despises modern society and its faith in technology, becomes radicalized. What begins with local acts of sabotage, ends with deadly bomb attacks. To the outside world, Ted K becomes known as the Unabomber.

Based on Ted Kaczynski’s diaries and writings, Tony Stone’s film is a kaleidoscopic true crime journey into the life of one of America’s most complex and eccentric killers.”


severance ben stiller

Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, and John Turturro star in the new Apple TV+ thriller series “Severance,” directed by Ben Stiller and arriving this Friday.

From director and executive producer Ben Stiller (“Escape at Dannemora,” “Tropic Thunder”), and creator Dan Erickson, “Severance” will launch globally on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on February 18, 2022, followed by new weekly installments every Friday.

In “Severance”… Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself.  


a banquet horror movie

After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, IFC Midnight is bringing first-time filmmaker Ruth Paxton‘s A Banquet to theaters and VOD platforms on Friday.

Described as “a slow-burning psychological horror that layers apocalyptic elements underneath familial tensions of three generations of mothers and daughters,” A Banquet is coming to select theaters and on digital platforms February 18.

“Widowed mother Holly (Sienna Guillory) is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey (Jessica Alexander) experiences a profound enlightenment and insists that her body is no longer her own, but in service to a higher power. Bound to her newfound faith, Betsey refuses to eat but loses no weight. In an agonizing dilemma, torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.” Ruby Stokes and Lindsay Duncan also star.


incarnation trailer

The final new horror release for this jam-packed Friday is Cinedigm’s Incarnation, which is set to unleash the demon known as Mammon. Starring Taye Diggs, Jessica Uberuaga and Michael Madsen, Cinedigm’s Incarnation will arrive In Theaters and on VOD February 18.

“A throwback to the popular haunted house sub-genre, Incarnation centers around a young couple chasing the American dream. Brad (Diggs) and Jess (Uberuaga) move to Los Angeles in search of a better life. When they stumble upon a hidden real estate gem, managed by the laid-back landlord Peter (Madsen), they are elated by their turn of fortune. But their ideal home is hiding a secret far more sinister than they could have ever imagined, for the very walls are alive with an ancient evil, and they soon learn that greed comes with a hefty price.”

Incarnation was co-written and directed by Isaac Walsh.


walking dead remake

Sunday, February 20th is all about horror on the small screen. For starters, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is back with new episodes, the second chapter in their 3-part final season.

Eight brand new episodes will be part of this second chapter.

This Sunday, The Walking Dead returns with many of our heroes fighting imminent hellfire under Reaper attack; while others battle Mother Nature’s torrential wrath in Alexandria. For all, their world is literally crashing down around them. Meanwhile, life in the Commonwealth is not as idyllic as it seems.  For some, hope will be renewed. Others will be pushed past the point of no return. One truth holds tight: Lives hang in the balance with each decision drastically changing their future, their chances of survival, and the state of each community. 


epix from review

Finally we have the new EPIX horror series “From,” a mystery box style series that’s drawing favorable comparisons to “Lost.” You can read Meagan’s 4-star review right here.

The series unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town in middle America that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.

Created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater), directed and executive produced by Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones, Mr. Mercedes), and executive produced by Showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Fringe, Alias, Lost), “From” features a stellar ensemble cast led by Harold Perrineau (Lost). In addition to Perrineau, the cast includes Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace, The Affair), Eion Bailey (Band of Brothers, Once Upon a Time), Hannah CheramySimon WebsterRicky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot, Shaun Majumder, Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori, David Alpay (Castle Rock), Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy and Avery Konrad.

This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself.  


a banquet horror movie

After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, IFC Midnight is bringing first-time filmmaker Ruth Paxton‘s A Banquet to theaters and VOD platforms on Friday.

Described as “a slow-burning psychological horror that layers apocalyptic elements underneath familial tensions of three generations of mothers and daughters,” A Banquet is coming to select theaters and on digital platforms February 18.

“Widowed mother Holly (Sienna Guillory) is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey (Jessica Alexander) experiences a profound enlightenment and insists that her body is no longer her own, but in service to a higher power. Bound to her newfound faith, Betsey refuses to eat but loses no weight. In an agonizing dilemma, torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.” Ruby Stokes and Lindsay Duncan also star.


incarnation trailer

The final new horror release for this jam-packed Friday is Cinedigm’s Incarnation, which is set to unleash the demon known as Mammon. Starring Taye Diggs, Jessica Uberuaga and Michael Madsen, Cinedigm’s Incarnation will arrive In Theaters and on VOD February 18.

“A throwback to the popular haunted house sub-genre, Incarnation centers around a young couple chasing the American dream. Brad (Diggs) and Jess (Uberuaga) move to Los Angeles in search of a better life. When they stumble upon a hidden real estate gem, managed by the laid-back landlord Peter (Madsen), they are elated by their turn of fortune. But their ideal home is hiding a secret far more sinister than they could have ever imagined, for the very walls are alive with an ancient evil, and they soon learn that greed comes with a hefty price.”

Incarnation was co-written and directed by Isaac Walsh.


walking dead remake

Sunday, February 20th is all about horror on the small screen. For starters, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is back with new episodes, the second chapter in their 3-part final season.

Eight brand new episodes will be part of this second chapter.

This Sunday, The Walking Dead returns with many of our heroes fighting imminent hellfire under Reaper attack; while others battle Mother Nature’s torrential wrath in Alexandria. For all, their world is literally crashing down around them. Meanwhile, life in the Commonwealth is not as idyllic as it seems.  For some, hope will be renewed. Others will be pushed past the point of no return. One truth holds tight: Lives hang in the balance with each decision drastically changing their future, their chances of survival, and the state of each community. 


epix from review

Finally we have the new EPIX horror series “From,” a mystery box style series that’s drawing favorable comparisons to “Lost.” You can read Meagan’s 4-star review right here.

They’re called “feel-good” movies for a reason. Watching movies could distract you from reality and lift your spirits.

Medication and therapy are the main treatment options for depression, but activities that spark joy could also be helpful.

When you’re feeling down, movies are a good way to lift your mood. A good movie could take you through an emotional journey — all within the span of a couple of hours.

You could be laughing one moment and crying the next, or transported into outer space where you battle other beings for world domination.

If you’re looking for an enjoyable way to lift your spirits, consider popping some popcorn and sitting down to your favorite movie.

Medication and therapy are effective treatments for depression, but they’re not the only ways to lift your mood.

Doing things you enjoy could also improve your mental health and overall well-being, according to a 2016 study. Whether your hobbies include listening to music, riding your bike, or watching movies, these leisurely activities could have a positive effect on your mood and mental health.

Cinema and video therapy — therapy involving watching commercial films or videos — became popular after the invention of video home system (VHS) players.

According to a 2021 study, cinema and video therapy typically involve using films or videos to expose a person to a character who might be going through a similar physical or emotional experience. The characters and scenarios on the screen could spark conversation about you and what you’re feeling.

A 2020 study found that particular films could impact your brain’s activity. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity, researchers found that movies could exert control over the brain to some extent.

This was based, however, on the movie content and style of editing and directing.

We’ve all watched a movie we could relate to or felt inspired by. Watching movies when you’re sad or depressed is no different — it could give you something to relate to.

But the type of movie that will uplift you will depend on you and your preferences. Not all movies will work for every person.

Movies of any genre could be a helpful distraction or source of inspiration during a depressive episode.

Comedies

The most obvious genre of film to watch when you’re sad is comedy. A 2016 study found that laughter could have therapeutic benefits. Humor can have a positive effect on mental health and the immune system.

When you laugh, levels of the stress hormone cortisol are reduced, which helps to reduce stress. Laughter also alters serotonin and dopamine activity and releases the feel-good hormone endorphins — all of which can help ease feelings of depression.

Dramas or tragedies

Even dramatic or tragic movies could spark an emotional response. Similar to laughter, crying could activate the release of endorphins, according to a 2016 study.

Dramatic movies could increase feelings of gratitude and reduce feelings of isolation.

They could also act as a reminder that everyone experiences struggles of their own and invite viewers to reflect on their own problems.

Sad or tragic movies, while not a mood booster, remind us that we’re not alone.

Documentaries

Documentaries could be an engaging choice. These movies are based on true events, which could be inspiring or eye-opening.

They might not distract from reality but could highlight it.

Documentaries that emphasize amazing or thought-provoking events that have happened or are currently happening in the world could be a humbling and grounding realization.

Romantic comedies (aka Rom-Coms)

Romantic comedies, aka rom-coms, could make you feel better about your situation or inspire you to look at your current situation from a different perspective.

Depending on the storyline, a romantic comedy could be just the distraction and source of lighthearted humor you need.

Horror and suspense

Many of us love to be scared — whether that’s through watching scary movies or reading suspenseful books.

The tension, buildup, and conflict that’s often seen in horror and suspenseful movies drive our enjoyment and arouse us emotionally and cognitively, according to a 2019 review. Researchers note, however, that the studies reviewed were small and many were based on self-reports.

A 2021 study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic found that watching horror and pandemic films allowed people to practice coping strategies that could be helpful in a real-world situation. It’s important to note that this study was also small and more research is needed.

No matter the type of movie you prefer, there are many movies you could watch when you’re feeling sad or depressed.

Here’s a breakdown by streaming service. You might also find a movie on other platforms such as YouTube TV and Frndly TV, which houses the cable TV stations Hallmark and Lifetime — well-known for their vast selection of made-for-TV rom-com movies.

Movies offer a temporary escape from reality. Even when a movie has ended, you might still feel an emotional high and spend time reflecting on it with friends and loved ones.

Movies can make you feel happy, inspired, and give you a sense of community.

When you need a quick pick-me-up, what better way to do that than sitting down to watch your favorite movie.

But movies aren’t a treatment for depression. If your depression symptoms are affecting your day-to-day life, consider reaching out to a mental health professional for help.

The recent movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife, directed by Jason Reitman, is a direct sequel to the two original Ghostbusters films from the 1980s. Fantasy author Christopher M. Cevasco found Afterlife to be an enjoyable return to the Ghostbusters universe.

“The story itself was kind of threadbare, but I was willing to forgive that because I was having so much fun just spending time with the characters,” Cevasco says in Episode 502 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. “It’s nothing that’s going to win any Academy Awards or anything, but it was a fun popcorn film, which is what the originals were only ever intended to be.”

Writer Sara Lynn Michener enjoyed Afterlife, but says that Ghostbusters really needs to find a fresh approach if the franchise is going to continue. “I feel like there’s so much potential to take Ghostbusters to a new place entirely,” she says. “They could make a scary Ghostbusters—one that’s genuinely scary, where the stakes are actually high, where people are actually killed. They could do all kinds of things.”

Afterlife moves the action away from New York City to a small town in Oklahoma. Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley loves the idea of a town founded by Gozer-worshippers, and thinks it would make a great setting for a horror film. “I enjoyed this movie just fine, but I’m not at all excited about a sequel to this movie if it’s just kind of more of the same,” he says. “But if they were to make a sequel that’s more of a genuine horror movie, something like Evil Dead, where it’s funny and genuinely disturbing or frightening, that would be really interesting.”

Science fiction author Robert Repino agrees that a more horror-focused approach may be just what the franchise needs. “There’s got to be a script floating around at Blumhouse for a scary Ghostbusters,” he says. “They’re the people to do it, right? Get it to Jordan Peele.”

Listen to the complete interview with Sara Lynn Michener, Christopher M. Cevasco, and Robert Repino in Episode 502 of Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy (above). And check out some highlights from the discussion below.

Sara Lynn Michener on Ghostbusters (2016):

The 2016 Ghostbusters movie is my favorite for very specific reasons. I love Paul Feig. He did A Simple Favor, which is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever watched in my life. He really understands “gender politics” humor. I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s a very specific thing, but it is hilarious when it is done right. But yeah, I definitely picked up on a lot of the cynical stuff that was going on, and it was incredibly groan-worthy, especially given how much I loved the film, and again, I am “the fans” just as much as the average dude who is Gen X is “the fans,” and every time I hear they’re “giving it back to the fans,” it’s like, “Hello? Who do you think I am? I grew up on this stuff too.”

David Barr Kirtley on nostalgia:

The kids start busting ghosts, and then after they bust their first ghost they get sent to jail. And everything up until then I was pretty much into. And then Phoebe, the teenage daughter, says, “I want my one phone call.” And the police chief says, “Who you gonna call?” Which was the catchphrase for the original movie. So it’s this very obvious meta-joke. And at that point I was kind of like, “Oh no, here we go.” And from that point it just got more and more self-referential, and just shoveling all this stuff that you remember at you, just piling it higher and higher, so that by the end of the movie I felt like just the weight of all the in-jokes and references and call-backs and nostalgia had just completely buried any kind of story or characters underneath it.”

Christopher M. Cevasco on ghosts:

To me the single biggest missed opportunity was “we have a Ghostbuster who becomes a ghost,” and that fact went almost unremarked. I mean, these are people who spent their entire lives studying ghosts and ghostly phenomenon, and then when the other three Ghostbusters show up at the end, not one of them is [curious]. I wanted to see Ray Stantz go over and be like, “Dude! What’s it actually like? How does it feel? Oh my god, this is so cool! We actually have an inside man now. We can find out what’s happening.” Or even to get some sense that Spengler, who becomes the ghost, how is his spirit reacting to that? There are any number of ways that could have been explored.”

Robert Repino on plot:

I wonder how different the movie would be if, instead of characters stumbling upon this secret, it’s instead characters who, from the very beginning, are going to Oklahoma specifically to find out what happened to Egon. So it’s Ghostbusters 3: The Search for Egon. That might have gotten things off to a better start. Now the problem of course is that you lose some of that wonder that you have where Phoebe realizes, “Oh wow, my grandfather’s ghost is talking to me.” … But maybe by having the characters have a specific goal from the beginning, instead of just stumbling into this situation and being like, “OK, I guess we’re busting ghosts now,” maybe that could have worked better.

The recent movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife, directed by Jason Reitman, is a direct sequel to the two original Ghostbusters films from the 1980s. Fantasy author Christopher M. Cevasco found Afterlife to be an enjoyable return to the Ghostbusters universe.

“The story itself was kind of threadbare, but I was willing to forgive that because I was having so much fun just spending time with the characters,” Cevasco says in Episode 502 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. “It’s nothing that’s going to win any Academy Awards or anything, but it was a fun popcorn film, which is what the originals were only ever intended to be.”

Writer Sara Lynn Michener enjoyed Afterlife, but says that Ghostbusters really needs to find a fresh approach if the franchise is going to continue. “I feel like there’s so much potential to take Ghostbusters to a new place entirely,” she says. “They could make a scary Ghostbusters—one that’s genuinely scary, where the stakes are actually high, where people are actually killed. They could do all kinds of things.”

Afterlife moves the action away from New York City to a small town in Oklahoma. Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley loves the idea of a town founded by Gozer-worshippers, and thinks it would make a great setting for a horror film. “I enjoyed this movie just fine, but I’m not at all excited about a sequel to this movie if it’s just kind of more of the same,” he says. “But if they were to make a sequel that’s more of a genuine horror movie, something like Evil Dead, where it’s funny and genuinely disturbing or frightening, that would be really interesting.”

Science fiction author Robert Repino agrees that a more horror-focused approach may be just what the franchise needs. “There’s got to be a script floating around at Blumhouse for a scary Ghostbusters,” he says. “They’re the people to do it, right? Get it to Jordan Peele.”

Listen to the complete interview with Sara Lynn Michener, Christopher M. Cevasco, and Robert Repino in Episode 502 of Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy (above). And check out some highlights from the discussion below.

Sara Lynn Michener on Ghostbusters (2016):

The 2016 Ghostbusters movie is my favorite for very specific reasons. I love Paul Feig. He did A Simple Favor, which is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever watched in my life. He really understands “gender politics” humor. I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s a very specific thing, but it is hilarious when it is done right. But yeah, I definitely picked up on a lot of the cynical stuff that was going on, and it was incredibly groan-worthy, especially given how much I loved the film, and again, I am “the fans” just as much as the average dude who is Gen X is “the fans,” and every time I hear they’re “giving it back to the fans,” it’s like, “Hello? Who do you think I am? I grew up on this stuff too.”

David Barr Kirtley on nostalgia:

The kids start busting ghosts, and then after they bust their first ghost they get sent to jail. And everything up until then I was pretty much into. And then Phoebe, the teenage daughter, says, “I want my one phone call.” And the police chief says, “Who you gonna call?” Which was the catchphrase for the original movie. So it’s this very obvious meta-joke. And at that point I was kind of like, “Oh no, here we go.” And from that point it just got more and more self-referential, and just shoveling all this stuff that you remember at you, just piling it higher and higher, so that by the end of the movie I felt like just the weight of all the in-jokes and references and call-backs and nostalgia had just completely buried any kind of story or characters underneath it.”

Christopher M. Cevasco on ghosts:

To me the single biggest missed opportunity was “we have a Ghostbuster who becomes a ghost,” and that fact went almost unremarked. I mean, these are people who spent their entire lives studying ghosts and ghostly phenomenon, and then when the other three Ghostbusters show up at the end, not one of them is [curious]. I wanted to see Ray Stantz go over and be like, “Dude! What’s it actually like? How does it feel? Oh my god, this is so cool! We actually have an inside man now. We can find out what’s happening.” Or even to get some sense that Spengler, who becomes the ghost, how is his spirit reacting to that? There are any number of ways that could have been explored.”

Robert Repino on plot:

I wonder how different the movie would be if, instead of characters stumbling upon this secret, it’s instead characters who, from the very beginning, are going to Oklahoma specifically to find out what happened to Egon. So it’s Ghostbusters 3: The Search for Egon. That might have gotten things off to a better start. Now the problem of course is that you lose some of that wonder that you have where Phoebe realizes, “Oh wow, my grandfather’s ghost is talking to me.” … But maybe by having the characters have a specific goal from the beginning, instead of just stumbling into this situation and being like, “OK, I guess we’re busting ghosts now,” maybe that could have worked better.
