I have included a list and some reasoning behind films that are definitely worth checking out! And thanks for checking out the blog!
The Babadook – Really well made, amazing set pieces and a really different type of horror experience with enough symbolism to really get your hands dirty in terms of narrative content and actual film craft
It Follows – Incredibly unique idea, definitely something new to horror, has a sort of 80s vibe visually, but don’t let that fool you, the film has an amazing way of creating dread in the viewer.
The Canal – In my opinion probably the scariest on this list, incredibly pretty in terms of the cinematography. Plot wise I wouldn’t say its anything groundbreaking, but I didn’t think it took away from the overall film
The Witch – It almost feels like your watching a play, but in a good way. Incredibly art direction and if you are looking for a period piece look no further. Has some good feminist film theory sprinkled in which makes for a film that requires you to think if you want to get substance out of it.
