Why watch this film?
Reinventing the slasher movie genre, such as 'Panic' and 'Halloween', the feature film 'Hush' breaks one of the main points of suspense and horror movies: sound. After all, this Netflix exclusive tells the story of a deaf woman who must defend herself against a killer trying to kill her in her own home. Although director Mike Flanagan (of 'Doctor Sleep' and 'The Haunting of Hill House') resorts to some formulas and banalities of the genre, 'Hush' hit the mark by creating tension and changing some slasher movie paradigms. Good for having fun and taking some unexpected scares.

Gerald's Game
From Stephen King's mind, this psychological horror story about a woman who ends up trapped and isolated in a cabin after her husband's unexpected death is sure to please fans of both the author and the genre. A story of survival on past traumas that blurs the lines between the natural and the supernatural, touching on heavy topics without fear of offending.
Doctor Sleep
Making a sequel to one of the greatest horror films of all time wouldn't be easy - but the task gets even harder when we remember that 'The Shining' was directed by none other than Stanley Kubrick. So, 'Doctor Sleep' starts its mission in the best possible place: it faithfully adapts the continuation of the original book, once again written by Stephen King. The end result is a work that expands and deepens questions and events seen in the first movie, as well as presenting an interesting conflict - which can serve as a metaphor for many things in life. After all, who has never known someone who wanted to have the good life while stealing the "light" from others? Or who had a strong shine while young, but let that energy fade away? Ewan McGregor ('Trainspotting') is good in the role of the now adult (and troubled) Danny, while Rebecca Ferguson is a firm and ruthless villain - but who really steals the show is the young Kyliegh Curran. The movie ends up having its slips, mainly when trying to recreate some scenes and elements of the original work, but also has the merit of not resorting to computer graphics to bring faces of people who, in reality, are not in the scene. If it doesn't reach the feet of 'The Shining' and will certainly make its fans frown, this is a worthy horror movie, perhaps the best adaptation of a Stephen King work in a long time.
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
