Wailing, The (Goksung) (2016): Some might say this is overly long, but what starts out as a horror comedy turns into a gripping supernatural thriller. Korean horror at its best. A must watch.
Cannibal Holocaust (1980): Rightfully infamous, but I could really do without the real life animal cruelty. Watch once if you must, then burn it.
Haunting of Hill House, The (TV Series) (2018): Hauntingly shot (pun intended), engaging characters, fun plot twists. It's all here.
Sleeping Beauty (2011): Julia Leigh should be commended for making this film. At times unsettling, but beautifully shot. There is sense of coldness and distance maintained between the viewer (voyeur?) and subject. Could well have been handled clumsily in less deft hands.
Bookshop, The (2017): Delightful (sometimes delightfully sad) film with a standout cast and some lovely performances. I dare you not to run out and buy a book after viewing.
I Trapped the Devil (2019): The Howling Man, the episode of the Twilight Zone on which this is based, is far creepier. I really wanted to like this, but it was convoluted and badly written. A tightening of the script would have helped a lot.
Us (Jordan Peele's Us) (2019): Starts off well enough but ultimately falls down in the final act.
Alien Resurrection (1997): I love Jean–Pierre Jeunet's direction, and the film boasts an outstanding cast, but somehow this movie misses the mark. It's where the franchise starts to go downhill before a full–on nose dive, but still has some memorable, and very creepy moments.
Alien 3 (1992): Watched the directors cut of this again recently, and I have to say this has aged incredibly well! The directors cut adds a lot of world building, and added creepiness Alien is still my favourite, but this is top notch.
Sudden Impact (1983)
