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.
Vulcanizadora (2024) is a black comedy by Joel Potrykus.. Male detachment, guilt, and moral collapse. Starring Potrykus himself alongside Joshua Burge, this indie slow-burn drips dread and dry humour in equal measure. A bold entry into cult cinema territory, it’s a film that challenges, unsettles, and sticks with you.
Ti West’s The House of the Devil (2009) is a hypnotic homage to ’70s horror, filmed on 16mm, full of satanic tension, and anchored by an unforgettable final girl. What begins with a flyer and a payphone spirals into blood rituals, lunar eclipses, and a drugged pizza. A chilling cult classic now streaming on AMC+ & Shudder.
Neon lights, alien infections, and desperate survival attempts collide in ASH (2025). Mother of Movies tackles this beautiful, bewildering sci-fi horror adventure with humor and a little sympathy.
Into the Deep (2025) splashes sharks, pirates & Richard Dreyfuss into 90 min of brain-off mayhem. Mother of Movies review dives into the chaos.

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
