Hatching (2022)

FINALLY, a movie worthy of the annual horror movie countdown! Hatching (2022) was brilliant. A strange tale of a young girl desperate to please her image-obsessed mother; Tinja takes pity on an orphaned egg, and hatches it, to disastrous effect. Body/transformation horror at its finest, without relying on CGI. A banger of a debut feature film from Finnish director Hanna Bergholm! Recommended for fans of Raw (2016), When Animals Dream (2014), and Ginger Snaps (2000).

You're Next (2011)

Nicole and I watched You're Next (2011), which was a (bloody, murderous) romp! Not the most inventive plot, but redeemed by good pacing, zany, dark, deadpan humor, and a badass female lead. This one had some similar vibes to Ready or Not (2019).

Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Silence of the Lambs is so brilliant. And plucky Starling, d'awww, so fierce and inspiring!!
