With the arrival of fall and the first day of October, some people choose to welcome the season with pumpkin spice and cozy vibes. Others celebrate by watching movies that scare them to the core and leave them frozen on their couch deciding whether that thing in the corner is just a shadow or a demon coming to haunt them.
Many horror movies have themes of demons and possession, but The Exorcist perfected it. The film follows a young girl named Regan, whose typically mild behavior becomes increasingly disturbing and violent. Her mother suspects possession, and becoming increasingly desperate seeks the help of two priests to perform an exorcism. In a world full of CGI, the practical effects are still remarkable, with the famous head-spinning scene being as terrifying as ever.
Period horror films remain underrated in the genre, but The Witch was a financial and critical success that still remains one of Anya Taylor-Joy’s best performances. The story follows a devout Puritan family who, after being banished from their community, settles near a secluded forest. As they face harsh wilderness and isolation, they begin to experience unsettling supernatural occurrences, which lead them to believe that a malevolent witch is living in the woods.
Horror films have always served as a method of social commentary, and Get Out is proof that this genre has narrative power beyond simple jump scares. When Chris visits his white girlfriend’s house in a remote, affluent suburb, he discovers the disturbing truth about what happens to Black people who visit the home and then must fight to save himself from the same fate. The film secured director Jordan Peele as a king of horror, a title he continues to prove himself worthy.
