The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Putting audiences on edge from the moment it begins, The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a truly bizarre and disturbing horror film. With masterful performances from Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan, this spine-chilling film will undoubtedly eat at the back of your mind for years to come.
Dr. Steven Murphy is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon who presides over a spotless household with his wife and two children. Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin, a fatherless teen who insinuates himself into the doctor's life in gradually unsettling ways. Soon, the full scope of Martin's intent becomes menacingly clear when he confronts Steven with a long-forgotten transgression that will shatter his domestic bliss forever.

Satirical holiday filmmaking and fantastical horror blend together beautifully in Krampus. A riff on the traditional German legend, director Michael Dougherty uses his horror-holiday expertise to wonderfully craft a tale that is equal parts wholesome and horrific.
While the holiday season represents the most magical time of year, ancient European folklore warns of Krampus, a horned beast who punishes naughty children at Christmastime. When dysfunctional family squabbling causes young Max (Emjay Anthony) to lose his festive spirit, it unleashes the wrath of the fearsome demon. As Krampus lays siege to the Engel home, mom (Toni Collette), pop (Adam Scott), sister (Stefania LaVie Owen) and brother must band together to save one another from a monstrous fate.
Actors: Emjay Anthony, Adam Scott, Toni Collette, Stefania Owen, Krista Stadler
One of the first creature features to release overseas, The Killer Shrews is classic sci-fi horror b-monster-movie goodness in all its glory. Featuring some truly horrifyingly designed mutated shrews, this film hangs in the rafters of cheesy horror movies for good reason.
Capt. Thorne Sherman lands his ship on an isolated island to make a delivery, only to find that mad doctor Marlowe Craigis is experimenting on shrews in an attempt to shrink them. The opposite happens, and the shrews become enormous and hungry for human flesh, leaving everyone on the island in peril, including the doctor's pretty daughter, Ann, and her unappealing fiancé, Jerry. Then, Thorne tries to organize an escape plan.
Actors: James Best, Ingrid Goude, Baruch Lumet, Ken Curtis, Gordon McLendon

Based on the novel Al mare con la ragazza, The Killer Must Kill Again is a tried-and-true Giallo film that fans of the iconic subgenre will adore.

Classic B-movie making at its finest, Killer Klowns from Outer Space showcases some of the most iconic practical effects horror has ever seen and is highlighted by an exemplary score by composer Jason Massari. This masterful horror-comedy is as hilarious as it is terrifying.
In the peculiarly captivating horror-comedy, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, an unusual alien invasion takes center stage. The invaders, grotesque yet comical clowns (the Chiodo Brothers), descend from the cosmos to a small American town. Mike Tobacco (Grant Cramer) and Debbie Stone (Suzanne Snyder), two local youngsters, are thrown into the chaos as they uncover the aliens' sinister plan: to harvest humans for consumption. Despite their laughable exterior, these clowns employ deadly circus-themed weapons and carnivorous balloon animals in their rampage. In this bizarre amalgamation of comedy and horror, viewers are taken on a wild ride that is as entertaining as it is horrifying.
Actors: Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson, John Vernon, Michael S. Siegel
