Why watch this film?
Since the 'Supernatural' franchise, Lin Shaye seems to have found her niche in horror. In 'The Final Wish' it's no different: the actress offers her talent in an interesting story about the power of grief to blur the boundaries of reality. The story is led by Michael Welch, who has become a familiar face for his participation in 'Twilight', and tells the journey of a young man who discovers a strange object from his deceased father that grants wishes. What starts as a gift soon turns into a terrible nightmare - with scares and terrifying figures. The movie may be a bit slower than conventional horror, but makes up for it in an interesting script with psychological horror vibes.

Hickok
The western genre has been forgotten by the big studios, the last feature films are from Quentin Tarantino, such as 'The Hateful Eight' and 'Django'. If you're a fan of this type of movie you will like 'Hickok', which tells the story of Wild Bill Hickok, a legend of the North American Far West. The protagonist of the film is Luke Hemsworth, brother of Chris Hemsworth ('Thor'), who was known for his role in the 'Westworld' series, also with a western atmosphere. It's a very accurate movie in terms of history, despite presenting several problems in the script and in the performances.

The Call
Besides keeping suspense with constant scary scenes, 'The Last Call' also works for fans of the 80s. Not only is the story set in the 80s, there are many visual references to famous movies from that time. Some young people decide to bother the wrong person and lead an elderly woman to suicide, but her husband will take revenge with a game that will bring her back. It's spine-tingling.
Horror
The Exorcism
The Exorcism marks the second film featuring star Russell Crowe in an exorcism role within a year—the other being the fun and carefree The Pope's Exorcist. Here, however, Crowe isn't exactly an exorcist but an actor playing this common type of character in a horror film. Marked by filming delays, interrupted during the pandemic and resumed four years later, the feature attempts to play with the metanarrative of the proposal and how actors relate to their characters, making brief comments on how the stories they portray can seep into the lives of the actors themselves. It is far (very far!) from a perfect film, with a broken rhythm and a glaring lack of depth. However, it can still be entertaining—despite all the parental drama—to watch Russell Crowe once again portray this character battling demons.

Run Rabbit Run
Loss and family trauma have been fertile themes in horror in recent years, with films like The Babadook and Relic. Understandably, similar themes can become tiresome, which could be said about Run Rabbit Run. The film follows a fertility doctor (Sarah Snook, Succession), whose seven-year-old daughter (Lily LaTorre) begins to exhibit strange behaviors that mimic those of a deceased family member. The movie builds tension around this mystery, gradually revealing the events that led to the past tragedy. Its lack of novelty is compensated by a genuinely tense and terrifying atmosphere, with strong performances from Snook and debutante Lily LaTorre.
