I haven't seen #Abigail yet but it appears to share some similarities with the French movie #LIVID (aka #LIVIDE.) At least peripherally.
I think they are probably very different in tone, but LIVID is on #Shudder (or it was) and I HIGHLY recommend it. And I'd be curious as to what people who've seen Abigail think. (No spoilers, though, please.)
📽️ I discovered earlier that HISTORY OF THE OCCULT is available on #Kanopy, so I guess tonight's movie is settled.
(It's also on #Tubi for those of you who don't have Kanopy, but if you have a library card in the U.S., I beseech you to check and see if you can access their amazing library of #films.)
📽️ INFESTED (aka VERMINES) was great, creepy-crawly fun. An entertaining movie that's... um... infested with exactly what you expect, and filled with many moments that make you cringe, shudder, or jump.
Not recommended for those with arachnophobia, but heartily recommended for weirdos like me that are excited to be horrified/terrified 😂
"The Reverend" (2011) - nieco zmarnowany potencjał na niezły horror oparty na Księdze Hioba. Młody pastor wskutek zakładu Boga z szatanem (pokazanie tego to właśnie jeden ze słabych punktów) powoli zmienia się w wampira. Lub raczej (kolejny słaby punkt) pół-wampira. Ale za to przy okazji, wbrew grającym o jego duszę siłom wyższym, udowadnia, że nawet bestia może czynić swoiście pojęte dobro. Świetna jest np. scena, w której rozgrzesza bandziora przed rozerwaniem mu gardła.
Got my Special Edition Blu-ray of THE BORDERLANDS (AKA FINAL PRAYER in the U.S.) from Second Sight Films and it is GORGEOUS. It comes with 6 art cards and a 70 page book with a bunch of essays about the film. 😍

Before You Watch Abigail the Movie, You Need to Listen to Abigail the Metal Album - IGN
The Scandinavian messenger of demonic heavy metal known as King Diamond beckons you to listen to his album Abigail before you watch the horror movie Abigail.
We watched THE INNOCENTS (2021) last night and while I thought it was a solid horror film, I am somewhat bewildered at the 97% on RT. I'd give it a 90% - it was a unique premise, certainly full of horror, and the kids were great in it. But it wasn't a near masterpiece.
(Note that the horror contains some truly appalling animal death, so don't watch it if that's going to traumatize you.)
STOPMOTION is fantastic. Eerie & unsettling, with genuinely disturbing sound throughout that was like anti-ASMR to me. Ugh. I hated/loved it. But together with the visuals and story, it all combined to be a remarkable, disturbing, frightening film about Creation and Inspiration. This would be a perfect double feature with MAY (2002).
*This is a Shudder movie but is only avail VOD for now. It's coming to Shudder in a couple months.
