Trailer
Why watch this film?
Despite the success of movies like 'Friday the 13th' and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street', perhaps there is no slasher horror more iconic and memorable than 'Halloween'. Directed by the great John Carpenter, of 'The Thing', the feature film creates one of the most iconic and feared movie killers in the figure of Michael Myers - which makes a perfect contrast to Jamie Lee Curtis's character and her famous screams. It's a serial killer movie that changed the way crimes are portrayed on the big screen, with an even more accentuated coldness and a disturbing atmosphere. Here, in addition to Myers's own visuals, highlight the historic soundtrack, to the sound of a sharp piano, which seems to accompany the chill that goes down your spine as Myers goes looking for his next victim.

Big Trouble In Little China
With the right balance of action and humor, this one is a great example from the 1980s John Carpenter filmography, taking directly from the source of B-movies kung fu.
The Thing
Uncomfortable, disgusting, cold, paranoid. These are just some of the adjectives that can characterize this masterpiece by John Carpenter ('Christine, the Car Killer') and yet it still won't be enough to do justice to what this movie conveys on the screens. After all, through a story full of twists and turns, the viewer is faced with a terrifying possibility: that of aliens passing themselves off as humans, colleagues, friends. Here, in 'The Thing', we are the means of transport for these extraterrestrial creatures. How to fight them? There are several dilemmas that Carpenter puts into the plot, intensified by a suffocating performance by Kurt Russell ('Trail of Evil') and the intense and disturbing soundtrack by Ennio Morricone ('The Untouchables'). Then, at the end, when the credits roll, it's impossible not to think: what if they're already among us?
Horror
There's Something in the Barn
In this holiday horror comedy, Bill moves his American wife Carol and children Nora and Lucas to Norway where he's inherited a family estate. While Bill dreams of turning the adjourning barn into a bed and breakfast, his family struggles to adapt to Scandinavian life. Lucas discovers a mischievous barn elf from ancient folklore living in the barn with a set of rules the family must follow. When Bill dismisses Lucas's warnings and fails to follow sacred holiday traditions, the elf plots to get rid of the American intruders at any cost.
Thanksgiving
Among so many horror productions, it's challenging to stand out with a compelling plot or enough audiovisual creativity. It's also difficult to achieve the delicate balance between humor and violence to create an effective horror comedy. After some failed experiments (even in other genres), director Eli Roth (Hostel) returns to his roots—and basics—with a feast of gore and twisted yet effective humor. In Thanksgiving, a tragedy during Black Friday prompts the appearance of a serial killer inspired by the American holiday. As victims of his violent crimes begin to emerge in a Massachusetts town, the townspeople must uncover his identity before it's too late. A familiar story, yes, but with witty social commentary and, above all, a level of violence as extreme as it is ridiculous and entertaining, sure to satisfy fans of gore and the director.
All Fun and Games
Salem is a city that defies time. A primary reference when it comes to witches in the United States, the place is still remembered today in horror stories and serves as a backdrop for movies that evoke the city's infamous past. This is the case with All Fun and Games, a horror feature that follows a group of teenagers from Salem who discover a cursed knife that unleashes a demon, forcing them to play terrible and deadly versions of childhood games where there can be no winners, only survivors. Starring Natalia Dyer and Asa Butterfield, the film doesn't bring anything new to cinema, reproducing elements we've seen hundreds of times on the big screen, but can still be entertaining, especially for those groups of friends who go to the movies to watch horror films and have a good laugh while jumping in their seats.
Nefarious
On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.
