'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' is one of the greatest horror movie classics, responsible for etching Tobe Hooper's (also director of the frightening 'Poltergeist') name in history. This cinematic classic was remastered for its 40th anniversary, and still stands strong, with fantastic imagery and photography and a somber atmosphere - it's a must-see for horror lovers.

Poltergeist
Released just days apart from 'E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial' and also produced by Steven Spielberg, 'Poltergeist' is its complete antithesis. After all, the movie shows the dark side of American suburbs, a kind of dark fairy tale seen through the suffering of a family. This emphasis on characters is what made the movie a modern classic of terror, in addition to its spectacular special effects (BAFTA winners and Oscar nominees). If you're a fan of 1980s cinema, this feature is a must-see.
Horror
Jugaremos en el bosque
After the death of his son, Javier hopes that restoring his family’s abandoned ranch will allow him and his wife Mariana, who attempted suicide, a new beginning, but his grandmother refuses.
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.
