• 늑대사냥/Project Wolf Hunting (2022) dir. Kim Hong-sun, written by Kim Hong-sun. I’ve wanted to watch this one for a while now, as it’s one I found in for my Crime Doesn’t Pay list. I have to say, I really am enjoying whatever is wrong with Kim Hong-sun. It’s a great film. I do like a good action thriller-horror. One character who isn’t a main character does have a guy suck his dick, but that’s incidental, and I wouldn’t give it a rainbow for that. While under heavily armed guard, the dangerous convicts aboard a cargo ship unite in a coordinated escape attempt that soon escalates into a bloody, all-out riot. But as the fugitives continue their brutal campaign of terror, they soon discover that not even the most vicious among them is safe from the horror they unknowingly unleashed from the darkness below deck.

• Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave/Your Vice Is A Locked Room, And Only I Have The Key (1972) dir. Sergio Martino, written by Adriano Bolzoni, Sauro Scavolini and Ernesto Gastaldi. I guessed I wasn’t going to love this one, but it’s a Martino classic giallo, so I thought I’d try it out. I went in cold so didn’t expect the sapphics! The murders are suitably dramatic. Oliviero is a drunk, burned-out writer who amuses himself by hosting orgies at his grand country manor and humiliating his wife Irina. When a number of women are murdered in grisly fashion, Oliviero becomes a prime suspect.

• মনিহার/The Lost Jewels (1961) dir. Satyajit Ray, written by Satyajit Ray, based on the short story by Rabindranath Tagore (the English translation, 1917, was a #AScareADay story!) I like how Mani is played really sympathetically, and you see how her mental health is deteriorating as she gets more and more fixated on the jewels that give her self-worth. The story revolves around a woman, who stays in a large mansion with her husband. She develops an obsession for her ornaments and refrains giving them to her husband as they face financial crisis. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Arsenal – Institut für Film und Videokunst e.V. in 2007.

• Blutgletscher/Blood Glacier (2013) dir. Marvin Kren, written by Benjamin Hessler and Marvin Kren. A really fun eco-horror that is basically an Austrian tribute to The Thing, Bats, Frogs, Slugs, and every other mutant animal movie you can imagine. Incredible scenes. The dog does not do well in this, though, so beware. At a climate research station in the Alps, the scientists are stunned as the nearby melting glacier is leaking a red liquid. It quickly turns to be very special juice — with unexpected genetic effects on the local wildlife.

• El fantasma de la casa roja/The Phantom of the Red House (1956) dir. Miguel M. Delgado, written by Miguel M. Delgado. A very fun horror-comedy, complete with cute devil costumes and musical numbers. I watched a YouTube version, with English dubbing you can’t remove, but the voice acting is pretty good. It has The Cat and the Canary vibes, and a brilliant housekeeper. A millionaire’s ghost watches while his heirs murder each other over his fortune.

• Mortuary (2005) dir. Tobe Hooper, written by Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch. Well this is a fun one! Tobe Hooper film 1 of 2 for #HoopTober5.0, and a new-to-me horror so it counts for #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days 2026. I really enjoyed this one – some kid protagonists I didn’t mind spending the runtime with, and a creepy concept. I loved the reanimation and the sneaky little tendrils doing a feed. A family moves to a small California town where they plan on starting a new life running a long-abandoned funeral home. The locals fear the place, suspected to be on haunted ground.

• The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) dir. Alfred Hitchcock, written by Alfred Hitchcock and Eliot Stannard based on the 1913 novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes (expanded from a 1911 short story). What a banger. The story is really engaging and fun, the energy is maximum effort, the inventiveness of the shots to communicate all the elements of the story is top tier. “He might be a bit queer, but he’s a gentleman!” London. A mysterious serial killer brutally murders young blond women by stalking them in the night fog. One foggy, sinister night, a young man who claims his name is Jonathan Drew arrives at the guest house run by the Bunting family and rents a room.

• The Bees (1978) dir. Alfredo Zacarías, written by Alfredo Zacarías. Mexican-US collab, eco-horror. I wasn’t sure where to put this – under US or Mexico. I’ve put it under Mexico for now. I really like 1970s eco-horrors for their messaging and their exploitation cinema vibezzzzz. This one is great. Corporate smuggling of South American killer bees into the United States results in huge swarms terrorizing the northern hemisphere. A small team of scientists work desperately to destroy the threat, but the bees soon mutate into a super-intelligent species that threatens the world.

• 編集霊 deleted/Henshurei: deleted (2023) dir. Seiji Chiba, written by Seiji Chiba. I don’t enjoy using facial differences or use of disability as a scare, but this is a competent indie horror movie aside from that. And I did like the ending for the ghost but the very last scene was a bit abrupt. An assistant editor and assistant producer discover a mysterious ghost in the footage of a movie project they are working on. As they work on the project a series of strange deaths begin to occur.
