Best of 2023: The 10 Best Horror Adjacent Movies of the Year

It’s been a robust year for genre film. Horror’s continued dominance at the box office has effectively spilled over into fantasy, thrillers, and sci-fi in ways that defy easy classification. So much so that it’s difficult to overlook the 2023 genre movies that employ horror techniques, draw inspiration from our favorite genre, or simply dabble in it. These horror adjacent movies may not fully plunge into the genre, but they’re also not afraid to wear their horror influences on their sleeves, whether through style or bloodletting. Here are the top ten best horror adjacent movies of 2023. 10. A Haunting in Venice Director and star Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot gets reeled into another whodunnit, but this time Branagh leans into the Halloween setting with stunning style to infuse this murder mystery with atmospheric mood. A Haunting in Venice looks and feels like a vintage ghost story, complete with nods to Edgar Allan Poe.

Falcon Lake Review: Come On In, the Water’s Fine

Director Charlotte Le Bon’s new film Falcon Lake was inspired by the graphic novel Une sœur (A sister) by Bastien Vivès. Le Bon uses the landscapes she became familiar with in her childhood, the regions of the Laurentides, northwest of Montreal, as the story’s new setting and the result is a rewarding coming-of-age film where latent desires gradually meet. This deeply nuanced film, which recently premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, uses a teenage crush as its baseline, foregoing the shocking fright nights that typically populate a cabin-by-the-lake tale. That said, the moment you lay your eyes on that cabin, your mind is already expecting the worst. What a fright it is. It’s worn down. There’s no electricity. Who would stay there for a getaway? But 13-year-old Bastien (Joseph Engel) and his French-speaking family must call it home for a spell. It’s here where Bastien meets

‘Falcon Lake’ Review: Heartbreak — and Possibly Ghosts — Lurk Under a Melancholy Summer Romance

The eerily contemplative opening frames of “Falcon Lake” depict an idyllic lake on a summer night, a scene so calmly off-putting that you just know something has to be amiss. The shot remains unchanged for so long that when a body finally rises out of the water, it feels more like an inevitable moment of catharsis than a jump scare. That ominous serenity continues throughout “Falcon Lake,” yet the first truly startling moment in Charlotte Le Bon’s directorial debut is the sight of a Nintendo Switch. Thanks to Le Bon’s dreamlike pacing and Kristof Brandl’s grainy cinematography, the film’s opening scenes of a nuclear family heading out for a lake house vacation come across as a long-buried memory unfolding before our eyes. The establishing shots would seamlessly fit into an ABC-era “Twin Peaks” episode, and the fashion could be ripped straight from a mid-90s Vineyard Vines catalog.

Falcon Lake Movie Review

A coming-of-age romance with some ghostly undertones and an eerie ending, Falcon Lake is a dynamic movie filled with quiet moments that linger on the viewer's subconscious. The feature debut of Charlotte Le Bon, Falcon Lake feels like if Call Me By Your Name was directed by Catherine Breillat. It's a captivating tale of first love, with hidden secrets that aren't revealed until the very end. The scenery at the lake house where most of the film takes place is exquisite, creating an unmistakable atmosphere that helps add to the provocative nature of this film. Le Bon both wrote the script for Falcon Lake alongside François Choquet and directed the film, which follows a 14-year-old Bastien (Joseph Engel) as he and his family travel to a lake house in Quebec for the summer. There, he meets 16-year-old Chloé (Sara Montpetit), who is also staying at the lake house with her family.
