31 days of horror May-June 2022 (ONLY 2021-2022 horror)
You know how this goes. From 24th May to 24th June, goal is 50, posting them as I watch them. Reviewing every single one, some reviews get removed but whatevs :)
This was tough. So many bad movies. 21 out of 50 were either bad or horrible. I was struggling to find watchable movies near the end. You know the state of horror is absolutely horrendous when a film like Dark Cloud > 21 other movies.
Superb: Dashcam, The Advent Calendar
Good: Night Teeth, No Exit, A House on the Bayou, The Sadness, Separation, Watcher

AVOID: Black Friday, Hellbender, The Last Thing Mary Saw, The Feast, Halloween Kills, Silent Night, Death Valley, Antlers, The Djinn
Personal favorite: The Advent Calendar
Best acting: Eugenie Derouand, Annie Hardy
Best acting in a horrible movie: Kristen Stewart
Biggest disappointment: Crimes of the Future hands down
Biggest positive surprise: Dashcam
Memorable despite not being great: Bleed With Me
Cringiest: Black Friday
The worst overall: The Last Thing Mary Saw, The Djinn
Thought it was going to be good, turned out bad: Last Night in SoHo
Thought it was going to be bad, turned out good: Dark Cloud
