It follows a group of hard-as-nails soldiers on a training exercise in the remote Scottish Highlands. (Vertigo Films)Ī British cult horror known for its grit, gore and creature effects, director Neil Marshall’s werewolf flick Dog Soldiers has since become a much-loved genre classic. Werewolves stalk a troop of special forces soldiers in Dog Soldiers. Also featuring Andie MacDowell, Ready or Not’s wild dedication to its sinister elevator pitch makes it one of the most fun horrors of the past few years and definitely worth checking out this autumn. Well, actually there are two catches, because in this game if you’re found, you’re killed, effectively ruining the wedding and putting a real dampener on the honeymoon. There’s just one catch: before the duo can tie the not, they must adhere to a years-old tradition and play a parlour game with the in-laws, which in this case turns out to be hide-and-seek. Weaving stars as Grace, a bride-to-be who’s due to marry into her fiancé’s close-knit aristocratic family. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and featuring a breakout role from soon-to-be-household-name Samara Weaving ( Bill & Ted Face The Music), this weird and wonderful film serves up a perfect slice of pre-Halloween viewing, combining elements of horror, comedy and the supernatural. Sick of cinema’s severe lack of hide-and-seek-focused movies? If you agreed with this weirdly specific complaint, then you’ll no doubt find lots to like in 2019’s horror comedy Ready or Not.
Samara Weaving plays a bride experiencing the weeding night from hell in Ready or Not.
While infamous for its much darker original ending (one that saw Audrey II slurp its way to victory and take over the world), Oz’s theatrical cut keeps things happy-go-lucky while retaining lots of blood and black humour. Together, they’re joined by a revolving-door list of memorable cameos featuring the likes of Christopher Guest, John Candy, Steve Martin and Bill Murray. Tired of hiding behind the sofa? Why not lighten things up with Frank Oz’s 1986 classic Little Shop of Horrors on Prime Video? A colourful, campy musical with plenty of bite, former muppet-man Oz utilised all the skills he learned collaborating with the visionary Jim Henson to tell a charming-yet-deadly story about a mild-mannered florist that stumbles on an unusual alien plant with an unquenchable bloodlust and overly-impressive singing voice.Ĩ0s icon Rick Moranis steps into the shoes of awkward plant man Seymour, while singer Levi Stubbs provides the booming voice of sinister shrub Audrey II. Little Shop of Horrors (Murray Close/Sygma/Sygma via Getty Images) It’s no wonder he’s recently been tapped direct the next Cloverfield movie. Perfectly blending nail-biting moments of terror with sobering real-world horrors (what happens when the outside world is worse than your haunted house?), Anvari delivers one of the finest indie horrors of recent years. Moving into a new house, it’s not long before her young daughter Dorsa (Avin Manshadi) starts complaining about a nasty spirit known as a Djinn that soon begins to harass the duo at every available opportunity.Īs the Djinn’s hauntings intensify, so do the missile strikes outside, leaving Shideh and Dorsa stuck in a terrifyingly precarious situation. In it, we meet Shideh (Narges Rashidi), a young mother who’s been forced to abandon her budding medical career as the fallout from post-revolutionary Tehran tears families and the city apart. Released in 2016, Under The Shadow is the brilliant first feature from British-Iranian filmmaker Babak Anvari and invites us inside a ghost story framed against a host of soberingly real-world issues. Narges Rashidi gets spooked in Under The Shadow.
