2. Tin & Tina (2023)
“Tin & Tina” emerges as a gripping psychological thriller hailing from Spain, unveiling the harrowing journey of a recently wedded couple, Adolfo (brought to life by Jaime Lorente) and Lola (skillfully portrayed by Milena Smit). Their world is shaken by the heart-wrenching loss of a child due to Lola’s miscarriage. Driven by their unwavering determination to nurture a family together, they venture into the embrace of a convent teeming with orphaned souls yearning for care. What unfolds next is the arrival of a peculiar pair of twins, bearing the enigmatic monikers of Tin and Tina.
This cinematic masterpiece seamlessly weaves elements of horror into its narrative, entwining them with potent religious imagery that serves as a mirror to Lola’s turbulent battle with faith.
3. The Invitation’ (2022)
_Directed by Jessica M. Thompson and penned by Blair Butler, this 2022 horror film offers a contemporary twist on Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula novel. In the spotlight is Nathalie Emmanuel, portraying a struggling artist whose life takes an unexpected turn when she decides to explore her ancestry through a DNA test. To her astonishment, the results reveal a wealthy cousin residing in England. As if that weren’t enough, this newfound cousin has a wealthy friend who is not only drawn to her but also possesses substantial affluence. It appears to be a dream come true for any artist facing financial struggles, doesn’t it? However, there’s a significant catch: the unsettling presence of vampirism lurking in the shadows.
4. Umma’ (2022)
Sandra Oh stepping into the role of a scream queen? Well, that sounds quite enticing! In this 2022 supernatural thriller crafted by writer/director Iris K. Shim, we find Oh portraying a single mother, sharing an isolated farmhouse with her daughter. One might say it’s a peaceful life, except for the lingering presence of Oh’s deceased mother, whose ghost continues to haunt them. Notably, “Umma” also carries the mark of Sam Raimi, the creative genius behind some of the finest Spider-Man films, in case that adds an extra layer of appeal for you.
5. The Pope’s Exorcist’ (2023)
Directed by Julius Avery, this 2023 supernatural horror film features Russell Crowe in the role of “the James Bond of exorcists,” Father Gabriele Amorth. “The Pope’s Exorcist” is inspired by Father Gabriele Amorth’s memoirs, but calling it “based on a true story” is a stretch. From 1986 through 2016, he was a Catholic Church exorcist. Notably, the late William Friedkin, renowned for directing “The Exorcist,” crafted a documentary about him in 2018 titled “The Devil and Father Amorth.” As the eerie season approaches, whether you choose to embrace the supernatural or not, we’ll keep your secret safe.
