Dancing Village: The Curse Begins
(2024)

While it takes arguably too long for the action to kick into gear, DANCING VILLAGE: THE CURSE BEGINS is a fitting prequel for those unfamiliar with the world of this Indonesian horror.

The Moogai
(2024)

THE MOOGAI is about the ghosts of the past, a reckoning with that past, and the pain it caused generations of Aboriginal people. It is an emotionally captivating and culturally relevant horror film with powerhouse performances.

Love Lies Bleeding

Dark Obsession
