Horror Films are unsettling films designed to frighten and panic. However, often some cause dread and, alarm while invoking our hidden worst fears. Often there is a terrifying or shocking finale which is both captivating and entertaining at the same time ending in a cathartic experience. Horror is not just jump scares and gore.
Pirates, Sharks, and the Persistent Power of Bad Decisions Into the Deep washed up on streaming in January, and, full disclosure, I’ll watch almost any shark flick. Pair that with Richard Dreyfuss cameo-dust and, well, nostalgia can cloud judgment faster than chum clouds water. Sadly, nostalgia alone can’t keep this vessel afloat. I will warn…
Bloody Axe Wound (2025) delivers horror-comedy weirdness soaked in slasher tropes, teenage angst, and accidental romance. Don’t bail early, this one blooms late.
They said it would scare me silly, but Terrified unsettled me instead. With levitating bodies, undead children, and a whole lot of calm denial, this Argentine horror is more tonally fascinating than flat-out frightening. I wasn’t terrified, but I was deeply intrigued. #motherofmovies
Face-swapping isn’t just sci-fi anymore, Grafted delivers a vicious spiral of ambition, betrayal, and identity theft with a scalpel in one hand and no conscience in the other.
Shudder 2025s Shadow of God, by the director of KnuckleBall | Michael Peterson. An exorcism priest battles the leader of a cult. #Religioushorror
Kevin Bacon stars as a demon-hunting dead guy in The Bondsman, a scrappy supernatural series that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be, but stays watchable. Part revenge plot, part hell-sent HR job, and all wrapped in southern grit, it’s weird, wild, and worth your curiosity.
Thanks for visiting Mother of Movies.
