Why watch this film?
Jason Blum and his production company, Blumhouse (of successes such as 'A Night of Crime' and 'Paranormal Activity') sign a classic horror movie. In it, a couple and their daughter go on vacation to a secluded house on a bayou (which means a small river or stream). Everything seems wonderful, but they end up trapped with a psychopathic couple. Despite the clichéd script and even tighter budget than other Blumhouse films, the movie has well-developed philosophical aspects and the tension, which is well packaged by the rhythm. 'A House on the Bayou' manages to be a quite honest and decent horror production, with good performances. In short, it is a movie that is worth it for the story construction.

Don't Tell a Soul
The best movies tend to be the ones we watch without expectations and surprise us. This is the case with 'Don't Tell a Soul', as with any production, not everyone likes it, but it's worth giving it a chance. In the story, two teenage brothers become thieves to help their sick mother. The premise is kind of vague, but the plot takes an intriguing turn, with unexpected twists, ensuring good entertainment. It's a dark movie with an original narrative, full of emotions and the perfect dose of suspense.
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.
