Why watch this film?
Directed by Rodrigo Aragão, one of the great names of contemporary horror cinema in Brazil, 'The Black Forest' is a feature film that draws from the source of José Mojica to build a powerful and visceral atmosphere of horror. In the plot, set in a forest in the Brazilian interior, we follow Clara (Carol Aragão), a young woman who sees her life transformed when she finds the Lost Book of Cipriano and, unknowingly, tries to use the dark magic contained in it to save a young man she has fallen in love with. However, as expected, everything goes wrong and the ritual releases an ancient evil. Scary and with a striking visual, a trademark of Rodrigo, 'The Black Forest' showed that the horror genre is still alive in Brazilian production, with creativity and good stories.

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.
