Rabid follows a woman who is severely disfigured after a car accident and chooses to undergo an experimental stem cell treatment. When morbid side effects rear their ugly heads, she must try to figure out if it's all in her head or a terrible transformation within her. Rabid Remake Review Based on the film of the same name from body horror maestro David Cronenberg, this remake was helmed by the Soska sisters, who are most notably known for their film American Mary. Cronenberg's works are big shoes to fill for anyone, so to take on the daunting task of tackling one of his more well-known pieces outside of his Fly remake is a bit intimidating.

The Witch follows a family from the 1600s that endures dark happenings that are believed to be committed by a witch in the woods, or perhaps their own daughter. **CONTAINS SPOILERS** Prologue As a self-proclaimed amateur film viewer, I pronounce that I'm only on the hunt to find a Very Scary Movie™.

Given the distribution rights Shudder holds in some regard, expect it on that platform as well sooner rather than later.) Daniel Isn't Real Re-Review I desperately wanted to revisit this film after seeing it at Telluride Horror Sho

The Dark follows an undead girl who remains stuck in a flesh-consuming rage following her decades-old murder. When she comes upon a boy who has fallen to similar pains as her own past, she decides to care for him, leading her down an unexpected path. The Dark Review Before we dive into the review, a relatively short soapbox on horror categories: In this writer's personal opinion, genre films generally split in three directions at the trunk of the horror tree.
