Why watch this film?
Given its strange and at times twisted nature, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland seems ideal for a horror film. Gamers will recall Alice and its sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, and even Disney adaptations (both the animated version and Tim Burton's live-action adaptation) have disturbing elements. To be clear, there have been other adaptations of the story within the horror genre, and for better or worse, Alice in Terrorland is not very different. There isn't much to say about the plot, other than it follows a young woman who ventures into a parallel world with different versions of the classic characters. There isn't much innovation, and the production resources are evidently limited. It seems more like a production made to capitalize on the wave of popularity of horror films featuring recently entered public domain children's characters, such as Winnie the Pooh. If you enjoy this kind of production, Alice in Terrorland might be for you.

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.
