The movie, released on Shudder, immerses viewers in the eerie world of an occult-themed Halloween episode, blending nostalgia, horror, and authenticity. The film's dedication to its unique premise and standout performances make it a must-watch for horror enthusiasts.
The new Alien movie is generating mixed feelings. While some fans are excited for more alien action, others are cautious due to past disappointments with sequels. The upcoming film, set between Alien and Aliens, promises practical effects over CGI.

Blair Witch Project is making a comeback in a multi-film deal between Blumhouse and Lionsgate. The original producer, Roy Lee, is on board. Lionsgate film chair and CEO of Blumhouse announced the partnership, expressing excitement about reintroducing the horror classic to a new generation.

The movie "As Above, So Below" released in 2014, directed by John Erick Dowdle, features Scarlett and her team exploring the Paris catacombs in search of the Philosopher's stone. The film offers great horror elements but loses impact toward the end. Set in the actual catacombs, it builds tension well but suffers from clichéd characters and pacing issues. Overall, a decent watch for its 93-minute duration.
