A woman on a night out gets stuck in Charing Cross station with someone/something murderous. Apropos for a station with abandoned platforms and tracks used for training. We have a classic Karen screaming main character, yet again, generally recognised even by critics to be unlikeable.
I do enjoy the environment though – the Underground has plenty of mysteries and perils all on its own even without a serial killer on the loose.
Found footage/mockumentary – a film maker and cameraman crew get locekd in with the inhabitants of a doomed apartment building. We have here a rather panicky, shouty protagonist with a sidekick who truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. The horror itself: classic base under siege material. People turn on each other as they try to make it out, so on and so forth.
Essentially this is Train to Busan in a building.
A horror fanatic gets caught up in a realistic horror film experience – basically becoming the protagonist of about six different horror films, having to use all his knowledge to survive. This is a deeply unlikeable protagonist, for whom it is difficult to summon symptoathy for his trials and tribulations... and eventual outcome.
I guess if you really liked Ready Player One, and a certain flavour of American horror films (Final Destination, Friday the 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), then you'd like this. Unfortunately, I didn't.
The first in a whole franchise. Summer camp slasher flick, where the unremarkable main character gets bullied by The Popular Girls. Plenty of setups which show you the payback almost immediately. This is not a good movie, mind you. Worse so given the dramatic reveal, right at the end, of the transfem protagonist?! With absolutely zero buildup!
Honestly, that was a disappointment.
Cornish folklore turns surreal. A lone volunteer tasked with making wildlife observations of a rare flower starts losing her grip onf realitiy. Remember that 15th Doctor episode 73 Yards? Yeah. Like that, but Cornish instead of Welsh. Bit of claustrophobia/agoraphobia. Body horror features amongst a carousel of disjointed images.
If this was aligned with a Magnus Archives fear entity, it'd be The Lonely.
Weird, understated, unnerving.
