Josh Ruben's debut spotlights the power behind a well-told story. How dare an overseas period piece be spooky and informative! Scare Me It’s a story that oozes fear based on Taiwan’s tragic past without sacrificing these searing glimpses of horror between monsters, hangings, and other ghoulish accents that exploit the genre’s frightening efficiencies. ![]() Horrors are a mixture of government oppression and ghastly deities who resemble The Crooked Man, living at the intersection of historical terrors and demonic symbolism. ![]() High school students find themselves under martial law in 1962 Taiwan, where reading certain books is enough to earn the death sentence. Detentionĭetention is based on a Taiwanese video game that blends national traumas with hints of Silent Hill and international survival horror games like DreadOut. ![]() It’s a futile film to explain as possessions, nude seductresses, and cloven-hoofed devils cycle through scenes at random, yet must be experienced by anyone who loves cheesy midnighters with extra cheese overflowing everywhere. This movie has everything! Magicians who know karate, Lou Diamond Phillips dressed as a boil-covered demon, animal transformations - except there’s no wind, just fog? Demon Wind doesn’t understand pacing, character development, or most other technical merits of cinema, but sure does make for an endlessly entertaining stream for maybe-not-sober watch parties. Demon Windĭemon Wind is an unintentionally bad-good 90s horror masterpiece that tries to recreate Evil Dead but fails so miserably that it boomerangs back to being amazing.

Then the action transfers to a local town that at least endangers characters on solid ground. Mountain climbers in the Scottish Highlands discover a kidnapped girl, and her nefarious captors pursue the rescue party through ravines and while rappelling downward. Julian Gilbey mixes genre experiences in his survivalist thriller A Lonely Place to Die.
