Honestly the Fear Street movies have been a lot fun, especially if you are new to horror.

Yeah, I loved all three. Just a fun spook-a-blast good time with likable characters that I generally did not want to die. Which frankly gets high marks from me, I've been slowly rewatching older slasher flicks and I'm finding most of them a big slog largely because the characters are all terrible.

I actually wanted Deena to survive and win the day, which is something I can't say for any of the nothing characters in the majority of Friday the 13th flicks(as an example, my most recent watch was Part 5 and I reckon there was no one to even remotely care about in any of them thus far).

Recently I enjoyed The Ritual and Color Out of Space

I thought Caveat was really cool. It's a Shudder original: https://www.shudder.com/movies/watch/caveat/7080a57a69288204

Do NOT watch the trailer before you see it as it ruins one of the best moments in the film, read a synopsis to get an idea if you need to.

Hmm. I loved Relic and Dark and the Wicked. The 3rd Conjuring was ok. Not a patch on the first but some decent scares. Finally saw the original Shutter , obviously getting old but still effective. The Nest (2021) is z-budget body horror with bad acting but it is *nasty*.

Oh La Lorna (not the American one) is great. So is His House.

And look, I had a blast with the Fear Street trilogy. Even though it looks like Nickelodeon made some horror movies, they are surprisingly ruthless.
