No film school lectures, just a horror fan telling you if it’s worth the popcorn.

Lorcan Finnegan’s Without Name is a visual masterpiece that struggles with its own identity. A hallucinogenic Irish horror that prioritises atmosphere over narrative.

Trevor Juras’s The Interior is a bizarre and rewarding genre-shifter. A slow-burn descent into madness that features one of the most effective scares in indie horror.

The 2019 remake of Pet Sematary is a gory, modern update that isn’t afraid to change the rules. A fun, jump-scare-heavy reimagining of the Stephen King classic.
