SWEETIE, YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT – Best Of 2018 Horror
Kazakhstan – Dir. Yernar Nurgaliyev
A horror comedy that relies on proportionate bad luck and happenstance, sounds good to me. I found a trailer for Sweetie You Won’t Believe It. It shows a trio of men who go fishing. They choose this instead of staying for the birth of one of their wives. The score sounds fun. The ensuing violence starts while the boys are floating on the river. They are on inflatable blow-up dolls. It looks pretty hilarious.
The Festival cited this film somewhere in the middle of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hangover.” What more proof do you need that this title is one of the most anticipated movies?
Mother of Movies picked right on this title. Sweetie, You Won’t Believe it was the top movie for us in 2028. Read more about that here.
WHEN I CONSUME YOU Narrative Details
Based purely on the title alone, I was elated to see this horror and mystery film by Perry Blackshear. If you haven’t seen his other film They Look Like People, you should probably add that to your watchlist too. The official storyline describes When I Consume You as being about a brother and sister. They are getting stalked by an ominous figure. Revenge ensues.
The When I Consume You trailer and movie review.
THE FEAST | What’s The Plot?
Directed by Lee Haven Jones, I saw a few films last year that talked about a storyline that felt like a fairytale. Lee Haven Jones is better known for his titles 35 Days and Doctor Who. Set at a dinner party in a remote location, this film sounds like a winner to me. The story evolves over the course of one evening. The Feast played at 2021’s SXSW film festival and reviews proclaim a tense and eerie folk horror slow burn. I’m in.
Additionally, I found this clip in place of a trailer. The film has been picked up by IFC Midnight. The Feast was reviewed on Mother of Movies.
COMING HOME IN THE DARK | Great Thrillers
New Zealand – Dir. James Ashcroft
A film that tells a story while on the road sounds like an interesting ride to me. The trailer for this New Zealand director, James Ashcroft shows a man with a shotgun saying to a family that sits on the roadside, “I’m a magician, I make things disappear” which sets the tone for what looks to be a mighty tense climatic thriller. Coming Home in the Dark is based on a short story by Owen Marshall.
THE SADNESS, Should I Watch It?
The Sadness already has a reputation based on its virtual premiere at the European Film Market where it was scooped up by Raven Banner. Set during a pandemic, the blood-filled Red Band trailer will give you just enough to look at to decide if this is something you need to see. For Mother of Movies, The Sadness is well made, and well written but over the top for violence, gore and boundary pushing. Only horror fans who enjoy extreme horror should be watching.
A Taiwanese gorefest by filmmaker Rob Jabbaz, The Sadness will not be something that everyone will enjoy.
THE DEEP HOUSE – What’s The Plot?
Mother of Movies will watch anything from filmmakers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury. They don’t hit the proverbial nail on the head every time but each film they deliver exudes beautiful horror cinematography. We covered their previous film Kandisha and adored the cult classic Inside so it’s fair to say the setting and themes for this one convey excitement.
Youtubers deep-diving into the depths of an isolated lake that holds a house with a history of being sinister. Yes, please. I generally don’t watch trailers, but for this horror movie list, I can say the teaser looks awesome. First, I noticed the dialogue in English. The scenery is spectacular. It looks exactly like the type of film I need in my life. Fortunately, the trailer doesn’t seem to give too much away, so check it out if you want to get amped.
Prisoners of the Ghostland – Why You Should Watch It
“In Samurai Town, two American men, Hero (Nicholas Cage) and Psycho (Nick Cassavettes) walk into a Japanese bank, brandishing guns and yelling “Banzai!”
official news from Prisoners of the Ghostland
Do we need more Nic Cage? Yes. The end. Just kidding, Prisoners of the Ghostland follows a criminal required to end a long-standing curse so that he can save the girl. What’s more, the cast had this girl frothing at the mouth. Starring Nicolas Cage, Sofia Boutella, Nick Cassavetes, Bill Moseley, and plenty more familiar faces, this is at the top of my festival watchlist. No full trailer yet, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I see one.
All The Moons Plot Details
A vampire story with a difference, All the Moons sounds increasingly interesting the more I learn about it. After 2021’s Bleed With Me and My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To, Mother of Movies is astounded there is so much still to offer within this saturated subgenre.
Set in 1876 a woman heals a young girl amidst the bombing of an orphanage and tells her she can no longer go out in the daytime. Written by Jon Sagala and Igor Legarreta, Legarreta directs all The Moons. Death, love intolerance, and loneliness are captured without a lot of speaking.
The fact that horror and fantasy films have been picked up by Filmax (who did [REC]) is extremely promising. Early reviews have shown this is a movie you need to see. The trailer looks stunning in addition.

#Blue_Whale Movie Recommendation
The appeal of movies like Profile, Searching, and Unfriended makes the horror and thriller film “Blue Whale” seem like it might have something going for it. There was even a film titled Stare. It was based on the Japanese hoax Momo. I thought it was cool, but it flew under the radar. Blue Whale is inspired by Eastern European cybercrimes that seeped into real life to cause real deaths. Directed by Anna Zaytseva “the film”Blue Whale” is one of 2021’s most anticipated movies and promises lots of teens being manipulated online.
Ultrasound Plot In the Best Fantasia 2021
A man’s car breaks down and he’s forced to bunker down with a married couple. The teaser clip below shows the husband talking to the man, Glen at the kitchen table. In the conversation, he suggests that he sleep with his wife. Very much not at all like Indecent Proposal, the clip ends with Glen walking towards the room as the husband loiters in the background with a smile on his face. I’m totally intrigued by this science fiction film directed by Rob Schroeder that promises to deliver “torturous surprises.”
Starring Breeda Wool (MR. MERCEDES ), Chelsea Lopez (ARE WE NOT CATS), Tunde Adebimpe (SHE DIES TOMORROW), Rainey Qualley (OCEAN’S 8 ). And also, Mark Burnham ( LOWLIFE ), and old David Fincher movie regular Bob Stephenson (FIGHT CLUB, ZODIAC, SE7EN).
