Why watch this film?
"The Inhabitant" directed by Jerren Lauder is a horror/mystery thriller that tells the story of a teenage descendant of Lizzie Borden who is caught between paranoid visions and a festering schizophrenia amid a series of small-town murders. The film is a slow-burn, atmospheric horror that relies on tension and suspense to keep the audience engaged. The cinematography is excellent, with dark, moody lighting and claustrophobic camera work adding to the film's eerie atmosphere. The performances are strong, with Odessa A'Zion delivering a standout performance as the tormented teenager. While the film is not without its flaws, including some pacing issues and a predictable plot twist, it is a solid addition to the horror genre that will satisfy fans of slow-burn horror. Overall, "The Inhabitant" is a well-crafted horror film that is worth a watch for fans of the genre.

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.
