More Horror Movies I've Watched Lately

I wanted to make a Halloween Movies post this month but I have a lot of movies and shows I've watched lately that I want to share before the year is over or it'll feel like its super late (it already is, but, oh well~ It could give you some ideas in case you want to watch some horror this month. 

These are in no particular order, I'm just gonna order the ones that are sequels so they can be one after the other. It makes more sense, right? Let's just do this.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer 

"The murderous fisherman with a hook is back to once again stalk the two surviving teens, Julie and Ray, who had left him for dead."

This movie is from 1998 and it's an American slasher film, sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer. I never really watched it since my favorite characters were killed in the first movie but, I felt like watching it before the 3rd movie came out this year, just in case I was missing something important. And honestly? I didn't like it that much. I mean, it wasn't bad, it was just... bleh. I mean, it did feel like a continuation cuz the story wasn't exactly the same as the first one but, to me, there was something missing. I dont know.

And then we have the sequel to that one... 

I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025

"A group of friends are terrorised by a stalker who knows about a gruesome incident from their past."

This is also an American slasher film that came out this year. I was kinda looking forwart to it and even tho it wasn't the best movie ever, I enjoyed the fan service soooo much more than the "new story". Which wasn't exactly new, it was pretty similar to the first movie, I didn't care much about the new characters and their stories, the killer reveal wasn't that cool but, it did have a good plot twist. Seeing Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt and, especially, Sarah Michelle Gellar back in this movie, was the best part for me. 

The end felt a little too silly for me tho. But there was a post credit scene that leaves things open to another movie. This time featuring Brandy too. Will I watch it? Probably, hehe.

 These next two are rewatches because you know, I'm on my Sarah Michelle Gellar rewatch year.

The Grudge

 "Karen is an American nurse living in Tokyo who is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse. The curse is a vengeful spirit that possesses a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and then spreads to another victim."

The Grudge is a 2004 supernatural horror film that, to me, feels like a classic. I remember I used to find it scary years ago. Now that I watched it again, it didn't feel as scary as I remembered but, it still made me jump a couple of times (mostly with the loud noises) and, I still liked it. Plus, it takes place in Japan, and we all know I love Japan way too much. That's an extra something. I feel like this could be a yearly rewatch for me, I like the story and I think it has aged well. 

The Grudge 2

"Devious spirits created after the Saeki family was murdered still haunt the people and claim their victims. Aubrey, Karen's sister, goes to Tokyo to save Karen from the clutches of the evil spirit."

The Grudge 2 came out in 2006, and it's the sequel of The Grudge, this time, following Karen's sister. I liked this one but I still like the first one a lot more. That usually happens to me, I love the originals more than the sequels but, it was still good and I enjoyed it. Now that I'm writing this, I want to rewatch The Ring too, I used to love that movie so, so much. And I feel like they have a similar vibe even tho they are different stories.

The Black Phone

"Finney Shaw is a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who's being held in a soundproof basement by a sadistic, masked killer. When a disconnected phone on the wall starts to ring, he soon discovers that he can hear the voices of the murderer's previous victims -- and they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn't happen to Finney."

This is a 2021 supernatural American horror movie, it took me a while to watch it despite all the great things I heard about it but, it did not disappoint. It was good! It has some good jump scares, effects didn't feel or look fake and the story just kept me hooked. There's a sequel coming soon, and I'm sure I'll be watching it.

Heretic

"Two young missionaries become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse when they knock on the door of the diabolical Mr. Reed. Trapped in his home, they must turn to their faith if they want to make it out alive."

This one was mom's recommendation and we actually watched it together. It is a psychological horror film that came out last year. Psychological horror has to be one of my favorite types of horror and if it's mixed with religion, win win for me. I'm so not religious but I find religious horror movies SO entertaining for some reason. I liked this one, it felt a little long and slow every now and then but, all in all, I enjoyed it. To me, the ending was a little surprising and it was different for me to see Hugh Grant playing this character. I haven't watched many of his movies but, for some reason, I always connect him with romantic comedies.

Longlegs

"FBI Agent Lee Harker is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again."

This is another movie that came out this year, it's an American horror thriller that I heard was one of the scariest movies this year. I had high expectations when I watched it which wasn't a good thing because, even tho it wasn't a bad movie, it just didn't do it for me. Yes, it had good scenes, tension and the story is good but, it felt a little slow. Plus, this might just me but, I thought some things were not that well explained.

Bring her back

"A brother and sister witness a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother."

Shortest summary ever, lol. Bring Her Back is a 2025 Australian supernatural horror movie. It's actually one of the most recent movies in this post. And I have to say that I defo recommend it. I really, really liked it. The story keeps you hooked until the end. There are some scenes that are very difficult to watch, and I think those were the ones I found the scariest. The story is good, one of the main topics here is grief and that is why I think it also worked for me. The end was sad tho, very sad. It didn't make me cry but, yeah... 

Cuckoo

"Seventeen-year-old Gretchen reluctantly leaves America to live with her father at a resort in the German Alps. Plagued by strange noises and bloody visions, she soon discovers a shocking secret that concerns her own family."

Lastly we have Cuckoo, a 2024 German & American science fiction, horror, thriller movie (yes, those are too many genres in one). I watched this movie with high expectations and it just wasn't for me. Not saying it's bad but there were things I just didn't understand, it felt slow and the end just didn't work for me. I'm not a huge science fiction fan so maybe that had something to do with it. Worst movie ever? Nope but, I don't think I'd rewatch this one.

And those are some of the horror movies I've watched lately. My mom sent me this October Movie Calendar and I've been trying to follow it. I might change some movies cuz I've watched or rewatched some of them this month. I'll include the calendar here in case you want to watch some of them too.

Feel free to send me recommendations of your favorite horror movies. I love to watch and discover movies I didn't know existed or watch some I wouldn't choose on my own.

See you next time~!💋
