Why watch this film?
Since its first installment, the Evil Dead saga has been distinguished for existing between two worlds: cult following for its idiosyncratic creation under director Sam Raimi, and expansion towards a movie franchise that transcends original stories and characters. After the 2013 remake starring Jane Levy, Evil Dead Rise is another attempt to expand the franchise even though it actually takes many elements from the originals. The plot follows a woman, her sister, and her children who become trapped in their apartment after a blackout, while a horde of demons looms over them after finding a mysterious book. Even though it doesn't innovate much, the subtext about motherhood and family, the brilliant performances (Alyssa Sutherland is a delight), and solid direction and makeup make this a fun step in the right direction.

The Hole In the Ground
Lee Cronin is a young promise of terror, and 'The Cursed Forest' is his first feature film, with a solid rhythm based on psychological horror. You can see a marked influence of Gothic horror and films like 'The Prophecy' and 'The Devil's Advocate', the director manages to create a powerful gloomy atmosphere throughout the movie, for a result that transcends beyond mere scares and other genre clichés.
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.
