c. Your film is “Big Driver” (2014), a film made from one of Stephen King’s recent novellas. Everything seems alright, and then it goes dark, and then you see the light, but the light is just the darkness. You’ll see what Imean. Go watch! It’s so worth it.

 

d. Your film is “Hush” (2016), a film directed by Mike Flanagan. There is only a cast five people, three hardly ever being seen. It was filmed with a million dollar budget (as cheap as it can get), and it is one of the best movies out there. It’s terrifyingly realistic, and it definitely takes guts (and creativity) to be this unfortunate woman.

i. Your film is “Gerald’s Game” (2017), a Stephen King novella that surprised everyone when Mike Flanagan managed to do the impossible and turn it into a movie. Recently thought to be one of the most unmake-able movies in King’s arsenal, is now one of his most popular.

w. Your film is “Split” (2016), the sequel to M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable, but you don’t need to watch it to understand Split.Istill haven’t even seen Unbreakable. M. Night Shyamalan loves to include huge plot twists in his movies and this does not disappoint.

 

x. Your film is “It Follows” (2014). Death leans closer. Is it a friend? A stranger? Is it right beside you? Who is it? Where is it? Why doesn’t anyone believe me? This film is one of the best horror films I’ve seen. It’s different, it’s refreshing. It’s story is fascinating, and the constant unnerve while watching, that creepy vibe, makes it worth it.
