Get Out (2017)
Not too long ago in a place not so far away Black horror meant low budget, badly scripted, comedy-adjacent, straight to TV projects. Rather than a subgenre of horror it was simply a punchline with some notable good additions that tried to break out of that stereotypical box to no longterm avail. From the widespread introduction of the concept the movie stood apart from others immediately in an obvious way: it spoke to Black audiences rather than about Black audiences.

Into the Dark: My Valentine (2020)
Into the Dark: My Valentine (2020) is a Scott Pilgrim vibe that has collided with the post social media music landscape of fandoms mixed with murder. This well lit anthology installation in the Into the Dark franchise uses comic book style editing and sound effects to give a neon feeling to a tale of abuse.

1BR (2019)
1BR isn't perfect but it does provide an interesting story that is told from multiple perspectives at different points in time throughout Sarah's indoctrination. I like that the indoctrination is shown before going into the tactics used, it made them feel more impactful as a viewer that I too had been tricked by their methods. So often we brush off noises as our own paranoia or eccentricities in particular if that individual is a woman that lives alone like Sarah is when she

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)
I think the first movie is a really, really creative concept and I think the rooms in the 2nd movie make that come to full fruition with intricate concepts and puzzles not tailored to the active participants. This made it feel more like an escape room rather than a targeted attack like the first movie can feel when separated from the Minos aspects due to the reason they’re selected being related to their disaster survivals.

With the Incident from a Ghostland 2018 recommend from a horror fan I figured why not with the expectation I’d scroll around social media if and when I lost full interest. While watching however I was shook that I couldn’t look away and rewound multiple times to make sure I didn’t miss clues, hints, or references in the detail lad

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Although many a horror title has tempted the concept of a society unaware of zombies experiencing the zombie apocalypse, like The Walking Dead universe, Night of the Living Dead is the official first. Duane Jones delivers a strong leading portrayal of Ben, a man who is treated like any other man in the film and rather is judged by his actions or ideas rather than the color of his skin.
