Need a way to spend your weekend hiding from civilization due to the fear of the unknown? Horror movies have this type of impact.
Below are four horror movies to spice up this Halloween season that will keep you guessing as to what happens next.
First, M3GAN 2.0 is a great movie to start off with. When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her eight-year-old niece, she decides to give the girl an M3GAN prototype, which leads to unimaginable consequences. M3GAN 2.0 will take you through a few twists and turns and will leave you with your heart pounding.
Next is Drop, released in 2025 and directed by Christopher Landon. This movie signifies and explores how quickly a first date can turn terrifying in the cell phone era. The story centers on Violet (Meghann Fahy), a widowed mom who meets someone new at an upscale restaurant only to start receiving increasingly menacing messages on her phone. She is told to obey or else her son and sister would be harmed, which intensifies her emotions because she starts to recognize that the sender is close. This film shows how social dating can be risky, and you never know how quickly a turn of events can occur.
Third, on the shorter side with a run time of 102 minutes, Together is a newer horror film released last July. It is a sweet love story that takes a turn for the worse after Tim Brassington (Dave Franco) and Millie Wilson (Alison Brie) move into a new countryside home before everything unravels. This thriller will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Finally, Heretic is an unsettling, psychological thriller that was released last Summer, starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East. Thatcher and East play two missionaries as they go door-to-door. After speaking to Mr. Reed (Grant), the missionaries become trapped in his house and are left to make many decisions that could result in life or death.
Are there more than four horror films? Of course there are. Everyone knows the classics for Halloween fright (Michael Myers, anyone?), but the list above will take viewers into a new generation of fear.
In the words of Kevin McCallister from Home Alone I, “I’m not afraid anymore!”
Now, be sure to triple-check your locked doors before pushing “Play”. 👻
