Horror Films 

While I am definitely not the biggest horror genre fan.. I do tend to watch the occasional thriller film..


1.  Pet Sematary 2019 - is a supernatural horror film and the second adaptation of the 1983 book by the same name by Stephen King.  The first Pet Sematary film was released in 1989..

In the film .. Louis Creed a doctor moves from Boston Massachusetts to the small town of Ludlow Maine with his wife Rachel and their two kids Ellie and Gage.. along with their cat Church.. They soon meet their neighbor Jud Crandall who warns the Creeds of the dangers in the woods and not to venture out alone.. After Church the cat is killed by a truck Jud takes Louis to the Pet Sematary to bury Church however after being told that Church means so much to Ellie Jud leads him farther to an ancient burial ground .. The next day Louis is stunned to find Church alive but much more aggressive.. The film is definitely scary.. and very reminiscent of the original Pet Sematary film..The new film is gripping, heart wrenching and terrifying .. I was literally on the edge of my seat..


2.  Us 2019 - is a horror film that follows Adelaide Wilson as she returns to her beachfront home where she grew up .. with her husband, son and daughter.. Adelaide haunted by memories from her past becomes concerned that something bad is going to happen.. and her fears soon become reality when four masked strangers descend on the house and force the Wilsons to fight for their survival.. Only to find the masked strangers are their doppelgangers..The movie definitely catches you off guard.. Jordan Peele's followup to GET OUT.. was for me hauntingly unique.. modern and thought provoking.


3.  The Prodigy 2019  - is a horror film that stars Taylor Schilling (from Orange is the New Black).. The film follows Sarah and John Blume who are thrilled when their young son Miles displays signs of being a child prodigy.. with rapid development and intelligence.. However Miles behavior becomes increasingly unpredictable and violent.. making them investigate whether sinister forces are to blame..
