Why watch this film?
"Safer at Home" is one of the first films in which the plot takes place in a world during the coronavirus pandemic. The movie follows a group of friends who, after 2 years of social isolation decree, have an online party with games, drinks and drugs. However, things quickly get out of control, showing how staying at home in isolation becomes a more frightening experience than the world outside. It is a movie that uses the 'desktop movie' approach, which in this case are movies that take place on computer screens, TV reports, security cameras, etc. Good examples of this type of movie are 'Searching...', 'Host' and 'Unfriended'. It is intense and very scary because it takes place in a universe that we are currently living in.

From the same director
Follow Me
"Follow Me" is an unoriginal horror movie whose premise is created from a big mix of elements from other films, such as Saw, Hostel, The Game, or even Escape Room, from the same director. In addition to that, the movie still insists on some rather redundant comments about social media, which are inserted in a careless way. Nevertheless, the film has no shame in embracing this superficial plasticity and clichés, which generates a self-conscious narrative force that takes advantage of its own weaknesses. It's a good choice for those looking for a horror just for fun, without many demands.
Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
