What better activity could there be than watching a good film? Now that it is finally fall, it’s the perfect time of the year to binge-watch some actually good movies, horror movies. Don’t know where to start? Well look no further, here are three movies you should consider watching this fall.
Starting with a personal favorite, Pandorum (2009) is a feature film directed by Christian Alvart that falls under the subgenre of sci-fi horror. The movie starts on a spaceship heading towards a new planet due to the unfortunate state of the earth. The story follows two members as they wake up from hypersleep only to find that other members have vanished. It is soon revealed that the people stuck in hypersleep are being used as food supply to creatures that lurk around the ship. The movie follows the characters presented as they try to survive the harsh environment created by the creatures all while wondering why and how they came to be.
Another good sci-fi horror film that I recommend is the movie The Thing (1982). Directed by John Carpenter, the movie begins with a research team in Antarctica. While at their base, they encounter a dog being shot at by a man in a helicopter. They shoot the man, saving the dog, which ultimately ends up being their greatest mistake as the dog is not what it seems to be. The research team now must try to survive as something they cannot quite identify takes them down one by one.
If you’re more into the supernatural world, the film Poltergeist (1982) is perfect for you. Directed by Tobe Hooper, the story follows a family who moves into a new house where they encounter paranormal activities. Starting with the simple act of moving objects, to the abduction of their youngest daughter, the ghosts who inhabit their new home aren’t as friendly as they initially seem. The family then must find a way to get their daughter back as they suffer through the misfortunes caused by the ghosts.
Horror movies truly are the best kind of movies. Spanning from sci-fi to the paranormal scene, the broad range of horror subgenres is what makes it so interesting.
