Horror Movies I've Watched Lately

I still have some shows and movies I want to share around here so, here we are again, with another recommendations post, hehe. This time will be all about horror, my fav. I'm only including the ones I did like and enjoy but, I've also watched some that were defo not good, I don't know if you guys would be interested in those too. Let me know!

Let's start!

The Substance

"Fading actress Elisabeth Sparkle becomes distressed when her chauvinistic boss fires her from her aerobics show. She soon injects herself with a mysterious serum that promises a younger, better version of herself, but things go horribly wrong."

It took me a while to watch tthis movie but, it was totally worth it! I'm sure most people have already seen it but, I still wanted to include it here, just in case.

I thought it was great, gross and very true to today's beauty standards. I have to say tho, I didn't love the ending, there was something missing. But that's just me. 

P.S. Demi Moore looks stunning in this movie, I mean, she's always been gorgeous but, yeah.

The Fly

"A scientist creates a teleportation machine and decides to test it. However, a fly enters the machine and their genes get spliced. Gradually, he finds himself transforming into a grotesque creature."

This was a recommendation I didn't expect to like, hehe. It's an old one (1986) but I have to say it surprised me, I ended up enjoying it a lot. It was a nice surprise to see Geena Davis there. It has a couple of gross scenes but nothing too difficult to watch.

While I was looking for this movie I saw other movie with the same title but I not sure if they are sequels, remakes or what.

The Monkey

"When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tears their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing the estranged siblings to confront the cursed toy."

The Monkey is a 2025 horror - comedy movie that I surprisingly enjoyed. I'm not a big comedy fan but this one kept me entertained. It's based on Stephen King's short story, so I'm sure many people love it. Even tho it's not a scary movie, I recommend it if you like dark comedy.

Late Night with The Devil

"In 1977, Jack Delroy, the host of a failing late-night show, decides to film a Halloween special. However, the broadcast takes a dark turn, unleashing evil into the nation's living rooms."

This one was also a recommendation that I ended up enjoying more than I thought I would, especially because of how different it is from other moves I've seen. It makes you feel as if you were really just watching an old talk show from the 70's before all the action happens. It's very well made. Then again, not scary but, worth watching.

The Grudge (Netflix)

"The movie follows events in 2004 to 2006 in a small Pennsylvanian town. Nurse Fiona Landers brings the spirit from Japan to America."

For some reason I keep finding movies that are related to The Grudge I didn't know existed. I found this Netflix one when I was looking for the Sarah Michelle Gellar one. It is from 2019 and, I wouldn't say it's the best Grudge movie because sometimes it gets weird and confusing but, it isn't the worst. Seeing John Cho there was a nice surprise. 

The Others

"Grace moves into a new house with her children in Jersey. However, when inexplicable events start to take place at the residence, Grace becomes convinced that the house is haunted."

This is the only rewatch I'm including this time. I watched this movie in theaters when it came out back in 2001 and loved it. Watching it again, it did not disappoint! It is still as good as I remember. Defo one of my favorite movies.

And, that's it guys! As I'm typing this, I've already watched and re-watched many more horror movies so, I guess I'll be sharing more next month. As always, let me know if you've watched some of these and feel free to send me some recommendations!

See you next time~!💋
