Cults, witches, demons, devils, Satan, that's the type of horror I'm in the mood for. Doesn't need to be English, been watching a lot of foreign horror this month too, but obvs subtitle files will be needed if it isn't streaming.
Nothing too spooky for this brave corgi!
"Midnight Mass" was cool, though a miniseries.
"Hereditary " I assume you've seen. absolutely spookiest flick I've seen in a while.
"Blair Witch Project" was probably the first to do found footage and took advantage of indie-word of mouth-fan marketing in the era where only dorks used the dialup internets. I was a late teen and thought it was actual footage when I saw it in the theater when it launched at our local art house joint. scared the shit out of everyone in the place, lmao.
"Devil in Ohio" is cheeseball and a miniseries, but the satanic cult lore is excellent and intriguing. I was hooked as soon as the cult girl said grace before dinner.
"Archive81" another miniseries. old New York cult action and all types of ill shit. this might be ongoing with a season 2 on the way. whoops.
"The Night House". demon stuff. some people didn't like it, but I found it compelling mentally and visually. I still think about it, like over a year after viewing.
I'll say Midsommar was also really good, and done by Ari Aster who did Hereditary.
Small spoiler for Midsommar for something 10-20 minutes in but
spoiler
the cult in this one are white supremacists
The Devil in Ohio is something I was excited for and my wife and I hate-watched most of it.
Big spoilers for TDiO

The fact that the abused cult survivor turned out to be a secret manipulative villain is fucked up in an out of universe way. The whole show would have been better if they'd leaned into "regular American family is more fucked up than a human sacrifice cult, almost" thing, but it felt like we were supposed to sympathize with the family as they treated the mom and Mae like shit. Idk, it was weird.
The tension in the scene in Hereditary where
spoiler
the son notices the grinning naked man standing in the closet in the living room and they stare at each other for what feels like 20 seconds while the audience knows his mother is hiding on the ceiling just out of frame had me holding my breath and gnashing my teeth, the suspense was so fucking painful
Will check those last 3!
