Trailer
Why watch this film?
The best way to describe "Sick" is as a pandemic-era horror movie. Directed by John Hayms (Alone) and co-written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) and newcomer Katelyn Crabb, the film is about a group of teenagers who decide to spend the pandemic quarantine isolated in a remote countryside house, only to be invaded by a killer. Without reinventing the wheel, "Sick" is an excellent slasher with a fun self-awareness that, besides being a perfect time capsule of an uncomfortable period in our history, will satisfy genre fans.

Alone
A typical story of pursuit executed well and able to leave you incredibly tense while watching. 'Alone' has a very well thought out cinematography to leave the viewer paranoid - the slow editing and soundtrack compose this experience very well. In the plot, a traveler is kidnapped by a killer and must fight tooth and nail to save her life. Despite the ending not being the most surprising, this suspense manages to keep you hooked and fulfills its function of leaving you glued to the couch.
Horror
All Fun and Games
A group of Salem teens discover a cursed knife that unleashes a demon that forces them to play gruesome, deadly versions of childhood games where there can be no winners, only survivors.
Nefarious
On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.
Sister Death
When we talk about horror cinema and the name Paco Plaza ([Rec], Veronica), we know we can expect at least a satisfying experience. "Sister Death" confirms the rule: the film is about Narcisa (an outstanding Aria Bedmar), a young woman who had a miraculous childhood and decides to become a novice. Working as a teacher in a former convent turned girls' school, Narcisa soon experiences disturbing and strange events that lead her into a crisis of faith and the unraveling of terrible secrets within the convent. Without reinventing the wheel but with very effective imagery, it's a solid Spanish horror proposition in the ever-engaging trend of "cursed nuns."
Five Nights at Freddy's
An adaptation of the popular horror video game series, "Five Nights at Freddy's" takes the basic premise of the games - a security guard must survive the night shift at a children's restaurant inhabited by killer animatronics - and adds more layers to it. The story follows a conflicted security guard (Josh Hutcherson, from The Hunger Games) who takes on the questionable job to take care of his little sister and prevent her from being taken away. Amid this family drama plot, the terrifying atmosphere is somewhat lost, resulting in a rather average horror movie. However, for fans of the franchise's mythology, there's a lot to see here, so they will undoubtedly enjoy it.
