Now streaming on Shudder and AMC+, this 2020 hidden gem centers on two strangers (Ruben and Aya Cash) who share elaborately performed ghost stories with each other during a power outage.

I'm not going to tell you anything about Possession. To even tease the premise beyond "it's a story about a couple going through a divorce" would ruin the movie's best attribute: watching Possession will make you feel like you are losing your mind.

Long unavailable on these shores, Shudder recently acquired the streaming rights to Brotherhood Of The Wolf, a 2001 French-language action-adventure-horror-swashbuckling-martial-arts-romantic-period-drama. Yes, that's a lot of dashes, but rest assured: This is a LOT of movie (in the best, most maximalist way). Based on a true(ish) story, this...

I'm currently in the early stages of a Halloween movie marathon, inspired by this list of how to watch all 11 Michael Myers Halloween movies in order. In the pantheon of horror icons, I'm admittedly more of a Freddy guy than a Michael Myers guy, but I think we can all agree that both are better than Jason Voorhees (the Friday the 13th series is...
