Trailer
Why watch this film?
Before James Wan was the creative mind behind 'The Conjuring', he scared viewers all over the world with the graphic and violent horror of 'Saw'. Starting one of the biggest franchises in the horror genre, this initial film introduces us to the routine and sadism of Jigsaw, a serial killer who creates almost impossible games for his victims to try and survive. It's one of those films that splatter blood across the screen and will turn the weakest of stomachs. Nevertheless, it is still a different and entertaining form of entertainment. You just have to look at it with different eyes.

Aquaman
This long feature is a darker and more bad-boy-visual re-enacting of Aquaman, done by Zack Snyder in 'Batman vs. Superman', who cast Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo from 'Game of Thrones') for the role, but recovers elements from a more recent phase of the character in the comics to bring color and humor. The result is a dynamic and energetic movie, which takes the hero back to Atlantis. Even though the story itself doesn't take advantage of the depth proposed at its beginning, getting lost in all the battles between characters, it should entertain those who look for an unpretentious action movie. The cast also features illustrious presences such as Nicole Kidman (who plays the mother of the titular character), Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson (the main villain, The Ocean Master) and Amber Heard.
The Conjuring
In relation to more traditional supernatural horror films, 'The Conjuring' is among the most successful productions in recent history. Even though it doesn't propose something truly original, director James Wan takes advantage of typical narrative resources and a palpable tension to cause incredible scares from the audience. Contemporary technology of special effects makes it possible to achieve something truly frightening, which strays away from what was seen in this type of movie in the 1980s.
Furious 7
This is undoubtedly the apex of 'Furious 7' in theaters, receiving the highest praise from critics throughout the franchise. In addition to incredible chases and challenging the laws of physics, the film brings dramatic support that improves the mix. Credit goes to director James Wan ('Aquaman'), who took over the franchise after Justin Lin's departure. Another addition is action star Jason Statham. This is also the last chapter of the series before the tragic death of Paul Walker, which carries even more emotion for fans.
Insidious
After 'Saw' and before 'The Conjuring', filmmaker James Wan scored a movie about spirits and ghosts that showed his full potential in the horror genre: it was 'Insidious', a feature film that opened the way for the creation of a franchise. Scary in the right measure, and with good performances from Patrick Wilson (who would also be seen in 'The Conjuring') and Rose Byrne ('Bridesmaids'), the movie already shows Wan's unmistakable style, giving scares at unexpected moments, betting on creatures that cause nightmares and not afraid to play with the genre's patterns. It's not his best movie, but it's definitely a good and fun pastime for those who enjoy the director's scary universe.
Malignant
After 'The Conjuring 2', released in 2016, James Wan is back directing another horror movie. Different from his previous works, 'Saw', 'Scream' and 'Supernatural', 'Malignant' has a different story and influences from classic directors of the genre. Visually speaking, the production is impeccable, the director's creativity in filming from different angles manages to build up the suspenseful atmosphere - which draws from Alfred Hitchcock and Dario Argento, specifically in 'Phenomena', from 1981. The feature also has an excellent soundtrack, which accompanies the tense scenes, and this time, Wan left out the jumpscares - there are very few moments when these "sudden scares" happen. In terms of story, 'Malignant' starts off well, has a solid development, but the ending ends up being a break of expectations for those taking the movie seriously. For those who weren't, it ends up being a quite entertaining change of direction. So watch it more for entertainment than for terror.
Horror
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is a contemporary take on folk horror about a beautiful young woman and her domineering mother, occultists living in secret among a devoutly Protestant village, and who are accused of witchcraft when an unknown plague begins to ravage the inhabitants. Despite some narrative meandering, the performances and genuinely chilling atmosphere make this a modestly budgeted but highly enjoyable horror for genre fans.
The Boogeyman
Directed by Rob Savage (of the excellent Beware Who You Call) The Boogeyman is another movie that uses a monster to talk about a family in mourning. Will Harper (Chris Messina) is father to two girls, the young Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) and the independent Sadie (Sophie Thatcher). And they are not in the best of times: their mother has just died and the family's days have become gloomy. That's where the monster, who is nothing more than a folkloric creature personifying fear, comes in. It's in the darkness, in the closet of the room, in the damp corner of the wall. The first 20 to 25 minutes of The Boogeyman are desperate: Savage shows mastery of the camera and the atmosphere, giving fear at every turn, every light that goes out, every moment that Sawyer decides to take a look under the bed. Then it ends up turning into a kind of generic Babadook, without much life. But even so, it can be a fun horror movie that, when seen with friends, can generate scares and laughter.
The Black Demon
Oilman Paul Sturges idyllic family vacation turns into a nightmare when they encounter a ferocious megalodon shark that will stop at nothing to protect its territory. Stranded and under constant attack, Paul and his family must somehow find a way to get his family back to shore alive before it strikes again in this epic battle between humans and nature.
Tin & Tina
Feature film debut from Spanish director Rubin Stein, who had already made a short film with the same title and theme. Tin & Tina is a horror thriller with macabre touches of comedy, which begins with the tragic miscarriage suffered by Lola (Milena Smit, Parallel Mothers) on her wedding day. Having lost her faith, she tries to regain it by attending a convent with her husband (Jaime Lorente, Elite), where they end up adopting two charming twins. However, the ultra-religious upbringing of the children turns into dangerous games that lead the couple into a destructive spiral. Tin & Tina is a film that, oscillating between horror and satire, highlights the contradictions of ideas such as sin and goodness, in the simplistic and fanatical interpretations of religion.
