I feel like there is some connection to the jump in pregnancy/motherhood/religious horror and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The SC decision was two years ago which is around the time it takes a film to come together and be released.
You should do a tier list for all the horror movies that came out this year! So many bangers and I want to know which ones I should introduce to my friends.
I had zero intent on watching VHS until you mentioned Kate Siegel and Mike Flanagan then i was like “dang it guess i have to watch the whole movie for that one”
'Sleep' has already been released in the UK so I've already seen it and it was one of my favourite movies of the year! However, be warned; the promotional material is selling it as a horror movie but it's really more of a genre mash of romantic-comedy, thriller, and horror (with a lot more emphasis on the comedy than most people will be expecting). Again, I loved it, but other horror fans might be disappointed. (p.s - the relationship at the centre of the movie is really adorable. It made for a surprisingly good date movie).
I need you to see Strange Darling. I want to hear your opinion on it. That movie was absolutely phenomenal. My favorite horror film that came out this year. They need to give Willa Fitzgerald her Oscar nom now.
Good to hear. It's maybe my last big anticipated release within the genre until Nosferatu. Been seeing a lot of great stuff, but year seems to be simmering out.
Back in the mid 1970s author Dean Koontz was an early pioneer of tech horror, he wrote the novel Demon Seed about an AI house which became a Sci Fi movie.
It may not turn out to be outright horror as much as thriller, but The Substance is my most anticipated movie in years, no joke. It just looks phenomenal
based on what i've seen from people's reviews and comments from seeing it at festivals The Substance is most definitely a horror, it sounds super gross and gory - i mean, the imdb parents' guide says "high impact blood and gore, injury detail and mutilation" and describes the last 20 minutes as "nauseating"
Having watched the original speak no evil and judging by the remake's trailer, the ambiance looks really different and I think I'd be disappointed watching it as the original one looks way more disturbing
We've had so much good horror in August and I'm not expecting much from AfrAId but I'll still happily go see it. It couldn't be worse than Imaginary or Nightswim.
Blue Ruin is such an awesome movie! In the beginning, he purchases a post card and when he’s writing on it in the car, he mails it to “Orange, Virginia”, which is a tiny town of like 8,000 people where I’m originally from, born and raised!
Hold Your Breath sounds like a cross between Lillian Gish's The Wind (wind and dust storms driving her crazy at an isolated ranch), and Michael Shannon's Take Shelter because of the 'protect the family' element. Would be worth a watch if it is as good as either of those films.
i saw the trailer for The Substance a couple times in the cinema recently and i am sooo excited. body horror is by far my favourite subgenre, and i thoroughly trust cannes awarded horror now (thanks titane!)
The Front Room - I'm expecting iconic lines/scenes similar to another fave of mine "Drag me to hell" Speak no evil - can't wait to see it The Substance - this one, Longlegs and Heretic will probably be my trio of the year. Nosferatu - watching for sure! Hopefully it's good 🤞 Azrael - I'm intrigued so it's in my ptw Apartment 7A - will be a disappointment, calling it now 😂
I’m actually reading Nightbitch right now! I’m enjoying it but definitely can see why some people wouldn’t like it. I’m halfway through and the themes about motherhood so far have been about postpartum depression, the irony/dissonance of what motherhood is “supposed” to look like (domestic, sweet, put together) vs what it actually feels like (a very primal, almost animalistic experience). It also depicts the unappreciated workload of being a mom, balancing motherhood with a career, and how ideas about motherhood in society can take over your entire identity.
I am from Utah and was raised Mormon but I no longer practice that religion, and haven't for many years. So with my Utah perspective, and the Mormon perspective I hope we are pleasantly surprised by how different it will be from a Catholic perspective like most of the other religious horror. I am excited for this one!
Omg Smart House was so before its time. I remember that movie scaring me lol. Idk how they were like "ai kidnap's a family" was a good childrens movie. Like i know it ends happily but still.
Dream House was released a year before Smart House by Disney. It literally was about a killer AI house. That's what I would compare Afraid to. Timothy Busfield was peak during this time. Most of his films were feel good family films, but then he appeared in this movie and Strays. Maybe one or two others. Regardless, I watched both and Smart House was funny, Dream House was horror.
@@yuke1256 Depends on your tolerance for 80s and 90s movies I'd say. It has not aged well since tech has evolved at a very different pace. Far different than a lot of alien or campier creature features. Lawnmower Man and Arcade aged far better as a VR simulations. That's why most recall Smart House instead. The 90s were wild because there were so many horror films that went straight to video and you would have to go to Blockbuster or your local video rental store and browse a catalogue of movies - many of which may not even be in circulation or have public copies left today. You never knew what you were getting yourself into. There's seemingly so many lost 80s and 90s horror movies with great concepts, just cheap B movie production by studios that went out of business long ago.
Thanks for another video! Added lots to my calendar that I didn't have. I am super excited for The Substance, Heretic, and I'll be honest - VHS Beyond. Found footage is my favorite subgenre of horror and I always enjoy the VHS films..plus Justin Long directing?! YES. Also, I had not heard about Your Monster, and I loved Lisa Frankenstein so I'm pretty excited for this one too!
I'm seeing the world premieres for Heretic and Nightbitch at TIFF in 2 weeks! I'm so pumped. I also got tickets for The Substance on the 5th and I've heard nothing but great things about it.
The book is so good! And Nightbitch is actually a funny character at the same time, and has some wild references like her hubby having an 'internet stuff' folder, the text talking about how she got charmed by watching Calefarts with him, a lot of spirals into themes of empowerment, toxic positivity and ofc, the MLM kind of moms
definitely always look forward to your videos and reviews! I can’t pick with movie because i’m really excited about a number of them for sure! thank you for sharing ❤
The Substance looks awesome!! The trailer has some dark sounds and Demi Moore looks fantastic! Here in the UK, we have to wait until Jan 1st for Nosferatu (gutted). Other's i'm hyped for are Smile 2, Terrifier 3, Never Let Go, Heretic and bagman!
Can't wait to see what they did with Speak no Evil. Didn't enjoy the original one that much except for that one shocking scene, I hope I'll love this one.
@@PossessedbyHorror OMG you named her after Judy Greer's character?! I loved this movie so much as a teenage boy. Mostly because I was 13 and a complete pervert. But, for some reason it was also just so well done in terms of story and cinematography. I am such a dark comedy fan though it makes a lot of sense.
Salem Lot reboot is the new Crow,my cousin saw a early preview in Seattle 2 months ago and people walked out, he said only the 20 mn drive in slaughter scene is the only good part,he said it was awful.
I cannot wait for “Speak No Evil” to come out. Not because I want to watch it but because if I see one more trailer for it, I might cry. 😭 I’m not into it at all. Usually I’m willing to give most horror movies a chance but this one… no. I have no desire to see it. I am very excited for “The Substance” and “Never Let Go”
Wow since you changed your mind about Terrifier 3 hopefully one day you watch When Evil Lurks as well. And I didn't know Nightbitch was a horror movie? If it does end up being horror that makes me even more excited. My most anticipated are: Nosferatu, The Substance, Heretic, and Nightbitch.
Have you seen Murder Party? It's by the same guy as blue ruin and green room but it's definitely not the same vibe, it's a horror comedy, I think it's incredible
Afraid has the exact same concept as the American horror stories episode Daphne. I enjoyed the episode, but it's already been done so I just don't know if I need to see another version of it again...

*_Ah, I think it's more like Margaret is inside Demi, and rips her way out._*
sorry but just google "pennette alla vodka e salmone" to see how they actually looks like...
Horror tends to follow the fears of our society. It’s not surprising to me there’s a lot of movies with pregnancy and religion as of late.
@@tiredapplestar well said.
And AI, climate change, disruption of privacy and home invasions
The substance won best screenplay at Cannes so I’m hella hyped, when does horror ever get awards?
Heck yeah! I’m so excited for it
honestly, i’m even more excited to see it! margaret qualley has been killing it lately!
I AM SO excited for The Substance, as well as The Front Room! Can’t wait 😎🍿💯👏🏼
I’m down to see it. Caroline Fargeat did one of my favorite movies Revenge.
Yeah, so excited for that one. Titane won the Palm d'Or a few years back and that felt huge
The director of Parasite said ‘Sleep’ is incredible so my interest is PIQUED
Well I would trust Bong Joon-ho with my life so
@@Wraiven22 I am SO pre-ordering Sleep 🤓 Can’t wait.
I feel like there is some connection to the jump in pregnancy/motherhood/religious horror and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The SC decision was two years ago which is around the time it takes a film to come together and be released.
I’ve seen some other comments relating to this and that’s so interesting
The Substance is looking like best body-horror movie of the decade 🙏
Fingers crossed it’s better than Crimes of the Future!
@@PossessedbyHorror there is hope 😭🤞🏻
I saw it last night at a festival. It absolutely is.
It's not a movie, but I'm hella hyped for Uzumaki the anime. It looks incredible and I've been waiting since it was announced. Hope it ends up good!
YES, HYPE
We’ve been waiting for YEARS.
SAAAAAME 😵💫
Omg is it coming out this year?!
I can't hear "particular set of skills" anymore without thinking of Taken 😂
You should do a tier list for all the horror movies that came out this year! So many bangers and I want to know which ones I should introduce to my friends.
That’s a great idea!

I live in the UK, where have you seen it already?
I need you to see Strange Darling. I want to hear your opinion on it. That movie was absolutely phenomenal. My favorite horror film that came out this year. They need to give Willa Fitzgerald her Oscar nom now.
The Substance is wild! My favourite film of the year so far, you guys aren't ready lmao
Can’t wait
Good to hear. It's maybe my last big anticipated release within the genre until Nosferatu. Been seeing a lot of great stuff, but year seems to be simmering out.
My favourite too.
Back in the mid 1970s author Dean Koontz was an early pioneer of tech horror, he wrote the novel Demon Seed about an AI house which became a Sci Fi movie.
I've only read 1 Koontz book and it's False Memory. It ties in the Manchurian Candidate. Would make a great thriller/horror.
@@marcusporras9571 False Memory is Dean Koontz's most disturbing, suspenseful and perverse book. What a read! It's one of my favorites.
It may not turn out to be outright horror as much as thriller, but The Substance is my most anticipated movie in years, no joke. It just looks phenomenal
Sounds interesting. I find it hard to believe though. Wouldn't MQ turn into DM if she took the substance & not the other way around?
based on what i've seen from people's reviews and comments from seeing it at festivals The Substance is most definitely a horror, it sounds super gross and gory - i mean, the imdb parents' guide says "high impact blood and gore, injury detail and mutilation" and describes the last 20 minutes as "nauseating"
Have to vouch for Your Monster having seen it at Sundance. It’s possibly one of the best films of the year. A total surprise.
Strange Darling was pretty amazing. And there's this great found footage movie called Milk & Serial that was released on youtube recently
Yes I’m going to watch it soon!!
i’m SOOOO excited for brandy to make her horror return in the front room!!!!
Have not watched the video yet, but your what I eat in a day videos used to be my favourite and your promo section was giving the same vibes
Omg I miss those haha
I’m excited for Speak No Evil & Never Let Go & Smile 2!
Having watched the original speak no evil and judging by the remake's trailer, the ambiance looks really different and I think I'd be disappointed watching it as the original one looks way more disturbing
Got a trailer for Substance right before you started talking about it, love that lol
Honestly I'd be happy if they keep making VHS movies until the end of time. Just hook it to my veins
Thanks for this video! I knew some of the upcoming horror movies left this year, but now I added some more that intrigued me. Definitely appreciated.
Most anticipating The Substance!
We've had so much good horror in August and I'm not expecting much from AfrAId but I'll still happily go see it. It couldn't be worse than Imaginary or Nightswim.
I will watch anything with Samara Weaving in it and I didn’t even know she had a movie coming up
Blue Ruin is such an awesome movie! In the beginning, he purchases a post card and when he’s writing on it in the car, he mails it to “Orange, Virginia”, which is a tiny town of like 8,000 people where I’m originally from, born and raised!
i’m excited for like all of them wtf??? thanks sarah 🖤😫
🙌
strange darling was so good!! might be my favorite
Hold Your Breath sounds like a cross between Lillian Gish's The Wind (wind and dust storms driving her crazy at an isolated ranch), and Michael Shannon's Take Shelter because of the 'protect the family' element. Would be worth a watch if it is as good as either of those films.
I can’t wait for Nosferatu!!!
Loving all the recent videos Sarah!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
I saw Azrael & Sleep at a Film Festival back in April & liked them both quite a bit.
You should do a video on tech horror! Possessor is my personal favorite
I have done a list in the past!
i saw the trailer for The Substance a couple times in the cinema recently and i am sooo excited. body horror is by far my favourite subgenre, and i thoroughly trust cannes awarded horror now (thanks titane!)
The Front Room - I'm expecting iconic lines/scenes similar to another fave of mine "Drag me to hell"
Speak no evil - can't wait to see it
The Substance - this one, Longlegs and Heretic will probably be my trio of the year.
Nosferatu - watching for sure! Hopefully it's good 🤞
Azrael - I'm intrigued so it's in my ptw
Apartment 7A - will be a disappointment, calling it now 😂

I watched the substance yesterday, it’s so cool, I love it 😍 Don’t get tricked by the trailer, the body horror is reeeeaaaal haha
As an ex-mormon, I cannot wait for Heretic.
Good on you for getting out! 🎉
I am from Utah and was raised Mormon but I no longer practice that religion, and haven't for many years. So with my Utah perspective, and the Mormon perspective I hope we are pleasantly surprised by how different it will be from a Catholic perspective like most of the other religious horror.

Afraid reminds me a lot of the dcom classic, smart house. I might just watch both
Omg Smart House was so before its time. I remember that movie scaring me lol. Idk how they were like "ai kidnap's a family" was a good childrens movie. Like i know it ends happily but still.
And it’s based on an idea from a Ray Bradbury story from1950!
Dream House was released a year before Smart House by Disney. It literally was about a killer AI house. That's what I would compare Afraid to. Timothy Busfield was peak during this time. Most of his films were feel good family films, but then he appeared in this movie and Strays. Maybe one or two others. Regardless, I watched both and Smart House was funny, Dream House was horror.

Woah! I had no idea Nightbitch was a horror movie. This skyrocketed to my second most anticipated horror movie of the year.
Horror/comedy so I hope it’s heavy on the horror!
Azrael is my most anticipated one that u mentioned. I adore Samara Weaving and anything apocalyptic
Thanks for another video! Added lots to my calendar that I didn't have. I am super excited for The Substance, Heretic, and I'll be honest - VHS Beyond. Found footage is my favorite subgenre of horror and I always enjoy the VHS films..plus Justin Long directing?! YES.

I'm hyped for The Subtance, Smile 2, Terrifier 3, & Nosferatu. I hope Nightbitch is great, but those stills look rough.
Super stoked about V/H/S/Beyond and adding a few more to my to-watch list. Thanks for this one!
I'm seeing the world premieres for Heretic and Nightbitch at TIFF in 2 weeks! I'm so pumped.
I also got tickets for The Substance on the 5th and I've heard nothing but great things about it.
I just realized your profile picture is pretty neat
Ah thank you!
With the Cronenberg feel, The Substance trailer has shades of Antidote: Immortality comes with pain and the Re-Animator.
When I saw the trailer for The Front Room I also thought of you when they said the baby's name.
Thanks for these lists! I love being able to catch up with releases especially when it feels like we're running dry on horror movies 😂
Im shocked y2k didnt get a mention. (not clear if its horror, but it looks at least horror adjacent)
I don’t think it’s really a horror from what I’ve seen but I’m still gonna see it!
The book is so good! And Nightbitch is actually a funny character at the same time, and has some wild references like her hubby having an 'internet stuff' folder, the text talking about how she got charmed by watching Calefarts with him, a lot of spirals into themes of empowerment, toxic positivity and ofc, the MLM kind of moms
Yessss thank you I needed a list like this so bad
There's lot's of good ones coming. Thank for the heads up Sarah!🤗
That's awesome!!
That segway, XD. Bravo
I tried my best 😏
The Substance reminds me of that Aloe Glow Cabinet of Curiosities episode, which I love.
thanks! I keep a list of films/shows/albums upcoming so you've made some great contributions
7:19 😂 I love how we just know already…almost like we JUST saw this film 🙃
definitely always look forward to your videos and reviews! I can’t pick with movie because i’m really excited about a number of them for sure! thank you for sharing ❤
You did mention this is Lee Sun-kyun last film before his death! You should look into him. His story is very tragic.
The Substance looks awesome!! The trailer has some dark sounds and Demi Moore looks fantastic! Here in the UK, we have to wait until Jan 1st for Nosferatu (gutted). Other's i'm hyped for are Smile 2, Terrifier 3, Never Let Go, Heretic and bagman!
Fern is an ICONIC name so freakin cute 💕
Very informative thanks for doing this vid!
Can't wait to see what they did with Speak no Evil. Didn't enjoy the original one that much except for that one shocking scene, I hope I'll love this one.
I’ve heard it’s actually really good so we shall see!
I just can’t get over how many massive spoilers were in the trailer. 😭
@@Kirby-Amanda Seriously, what was that... gave everything away!
9:10 Rest in Peace to Lee Sun Kyun (Lead male role) in Sleep. Excited to see the movie but sad about what happened to a talented actor.
Thanks for posting this video
All I need is Terrifier 3
Omg I LOVED the movie Smart House! I need to rewatch it to see how it holds up with how technology has actually progressed since then. 😂
VHS Beyond just released a teaser and I'm already seated. 😅❤
You need to do a review of the servant series! I’m watching it now and it’s amazing!
Tack!
i loved lisa frankenstein so i'm definitely going to watch Your Monster
Greek food mentioned for the greek viewers :D Great pronunciation too!
The fern part made me think of jawbreaker lol
How’d you think I picked that name 😉
@@PossessedbyHorror iconic. 😭❤️
@@PossessedbyHorror OMG you named her after Judy Greer's character?! I loved this movie so much as a teenage boy. Mostly because I was 13 and a complete pervert. But, for some reason it was also just so well done in terms of story and cinematography. I am such a dark comedy fan though it makes a lot of sense.
This made me realize how much I miss your food content!!
I feel like the only one super excited for Heretic, I just really love the premise

I am very excited for “The Substance” and “Never Let Go”
I'm all about Heretic, that's my top anticipated horror movie of the remaining year
Handling the undead is one im surprised u didnt put on here
From the director of let the right ones in I believe so should be incredible!!!
Hello, have you ever done a list video of top Canadian horror films. I personally love the cube franchise. Thank you, your videos are awesome eh.
Salems Lot for me! Been waiting ages for it to come out. I hope it's as good as the book. Also sorry if this is a stupid question but what is "Max"?
HBO Max rebranded to just Max lol
@@PossessedbyHorror thank you! Sorry for the stupid question 🖤
Lovely video, sorry but I I couldn't stop replaying the moment when you say tzatziki :)))))
You forgot to mention The Deliverance coming out on Netflix this Friday. It looks pretty good and scary..
I actually remember watching smart house when it was on Disney channel as a kid!
Wow since you changed your mind about Terrifier 3 hopefully one day you watch When Evil Lurks as well. And I didn't know Nightbitch was a horror movie? If it does end up being horror that makes me even more excited.
My most anticipated are: Nosferatu, The Substance, Heretic, and Nightbitch.
Have you seen Murder Party? It's by the same guy as blue ruin and green room but it's definitely not the same vibe, it's a horror comedy, I think it's incredible
Great video, I felt like I was starting to loose track of everything 😂
YESSSS GET THAT SPON
Ones I want to see: the front room, substance sounds interesting, never let go, platform 2
Afraid has the exact same concept as the American horror stories episode Daphne. I enjoyed the episode, but it's already been done so I just don't know if I need to see another version of it again...
Would love to see a "Strange Darling" review!
I definitely want to see it!
Oh I am SAT!!!
I think there’s a chance Dust Bunny with Mads Mikkelsen will also come out this year! It still doesn’t have an official release date, though
Speaking of horror updates, Universal Studios Orlando started promoting Leigh Whannell's upcoming Wolf Man movie. How I found out about this, a fellow UA-camr reposted a posted a picture someone posted on X.
I'm in with Afraid for John Cho.
Netflix needs to update their game on making horror
