The thirty first, and final, recommendation for the month is one that many will dislike. It’s Brightburn, a simple and entertainingly gruesome tale that gives us a version of the Superman origin tale if he had also been a bad seed.
Don't worry. I haven't forgotten. The thirtieth recommendation for the month is . . . Pin.
You may have heard of Pin, but you should definitely watch it if you haven't already. It's a superb psychological horror, and would pair up nicely with May.
Nearing the finish line, your twenty ninth recommendation for the month is The Haunted, a 1991 TV movie that everyone remembers . . . even if they don't remember the actual title.
Your twenty fifth recommendation for the month is Underwater, the 2020 sci-fi horror movie that still seems to be overlooked by many film fans, despite being pretty bloody great.
Your twenty fourth recommendation for the month is Chop (2011), a wonderfully hilarious horror comedy that plays out like a great riff on the Saw movies.
Your twenty third recommendation for the month is Berberian Sound Studio, a psychological horror movie that will work best for fans of giallo movies (considering the references and context) and/or fans of foley work. Or fans of Toby Jones. And who doesn't like Toby Jones?
Your twenty second recommendation for the month is Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape by Jake West, one of many wonderful documentaries that West has helmed on this topic. All of them are worth your time.
Your twenty first recommendation for the month is Evil Aliens, a comedy horror sci-fi with some great gore gags and memorable use of a song made famous by The Wurzels. It's far from perfect, but writer-directro Jake West does a great job with limited resources (and he may reappear here tomorrow).
Your twentieth recommendation for this month is a series of movies. The Hell House LLC movies. Most people prefer the first film to the others, but I like them all, and think there are some real highlights in the sequels.
Your nineteenth recommendation for the month is Undead (2003), a fun and stylish zombie comedy from the Spierig brothers. Fans of splatstick will find enough to enjoy here, and there is an impressive level of inventiveness throughout.
Your eighteenth recommendation for this month is the bonkers and darkly hilarious, but also disturbing, Mom And Dad. Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair head up a film that shows how horrible things get when parents suddenly start senselessly attacking/killing off their children.
