If theSomething If it catches you, it then goes on to the next person who had it. It’s a clever metaphor for teenage sex and sexually transmitted disorders, but it’s also a hip revival of ghostly mythology. “The Ring.”Maika Monroe, who has shown her brilliance as a scream queen in such things as “The Guest” and this year’s “Watcher,”She is the most sympathetic final girl you will ever meet. Although she can have sex with anyone she wants, it will make someone die. The dread (both existential and real-world) is only intensified by Mike Gioulakis’ largely unbroken camerawork and the Carpenter-like score by Disasterpeace. “It Follows” is seen as a modern classic for a reason; it’s that damn good.

With an incredibly knowing cast that includes Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Jerry O’Connell and Ving Rhames and a charming ‘80s vibe (Christopher Lloyd shows up as the fish enthusiast version of Doc Brown), “Piranha” could have been just another horror remake. But Aja’It features clever staging and a sharply humorous undercurrent. There is also a third act set piece which might be more bloody than the D-Day sequence. “Saving Private Ryan,”This elevates it from its humble, exploitative beginnings. It’s clear that the party is in the water.

Christine
After “The Thing” was released in 1982 to commercial indifference and critical hostility, John Carpenter receded into what he deemed safer territory – a studio-backed adaptation of a Stephen King bestseller. What’s striking, while watching “Christine”Now, you can see how aggressively artistic it really is. What could have been fairly cookie-cutter is in fact one of Carpenter’s most stylistically bold and emotionally honest masterpieces. Carpenter and his collaborators have omitted some of the literal elements of the original novel and instead focus on the love triangle between Arnie (Keith Gordon), Dennis (John Stockwell), and Christine (a 1958 Chrysler Fury). Things become more dangerous as Christine and Arnie get closer. It is filled with an impressive cast of character actors, including Robert Prosky and Harry Dean Stanton, as well as some great suspense set pieces (including a truly fearsome-looking car and a sparkling score by Carpernter, Alan Howarth). “Christine”It is truly memorable. It is truly unforgettable, even if it were the “safe choice,” it doesn’t make “Christine”None less powerful.
Hubie Halloween

Strange happenings indicate that a terrifying force is haunting their new home. Rose Byrne and Ty Simpkins are among the creepy and creepy characters. Warning: This title is not available on Netflix until September 30, so make sure to catch it before October begins.
Day Shift
How’s this for a concept? Jamie Foxx portrays a pool cleaner who moonlights in the San Fernando Valley as a vampire slayer. When his adorable wife (Meagan Good) threatens to move away with his daughter, he makes an effort to rejoin the vampire hunters’ guild and is saddled with a dorky auditor (played by Dave Franco) to go along with his crusty mentor (Snoop Dogg). Foxx is soon exposed to a massive vampire conspiracy, which threatens the safety and security of the entire valley. Produced and edited by “John Wick” director Chad Stahelski and written by Shane Black protégé Shay Hatten, “Day Shift”It has a mid-1980s-style action movie feel. The kind of thing you’d stumble across one day on the USA Network and probably watch until the end. (The finale is even set in a mall – an abandoned mall, but a mall nonetheless.) “Day Shift” might not be for everybody, but if you’re tuned into its very specific, gore-splattered wavelength, it’s a bloody good time.
Mr. Harrigan’s Phone

Their relationship changes after Harrigan’s death. And considering this is based on a King story, you know it’s headed in an altogether horrific direction. Produced by the twin powerhouses of Jason Blum and Ryan Murphy, whose last horror collaboration was 2014’s underseen gem “The Town That Dreaded Sundown,” “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” was written and directed by John Lee Hancock, whose last film was 2021’s nifty crime thriller “The Little Things.” It’ll be interesting to see how Hancock expands the world of the original novella, which at around 70 pages was as slender as it was spooky.
