While a less showy film about cults, Rosemary's Baby is a
sinister take on neighborly tenants. Spooky and drawn out, this film amasses
tension for an end reveal that viewers will see coming, but will still be
scared by. There's simply not much to say that hasn't been said about this film
and the cult at the center of it. The Castevet's are perfectly disarming, Mia
Farrows' Rosemary, perfectly acted and by the film's end, you'll
appreciate the masterpiece before you.

The Wicker Man is a surprisingly jovial horror movie. Bursting
with Celtic tunes, dancing townspeople and colorful costumes,
the insane ending may come as a shock to those unaware of the film prior.
A certifiable cult classic that also happens to be about a cult, the cheeriness
exuded by characters in The Wicker Man is odd but relatively
innocent feeling. However, as the plot transgresses, the dark pit at its center
grows and hardens. Despite a failed remake starring Nick Cage, this story
deserves a proper reboot.

Stuck watching a derelict police station on her first day,
Officer Jessica Loren's quiet, but creepy night becomes quite the downward
spiral. From creepy happens to ghoulish images, the ghostly cult members that
haunt the station are nothing short of heart-stopping. Easily one of the
scariest indie films ever, Last Shift is a must see. It's gritty, gory
and everything that a haunted house movie should be. Whether a fan of jump
scares or horrifying atmosphere, Last Shift has it in spades.

A classic Stephen King adaption and perhaps one of the most
iconic groups of scary kids, Children of the Corn is an endeavor on the
gullible group mentality of children. As they follow "He Who Walks behind
the Rows," the group led by Isaac Chroner, systemically remove the adults
in the town as part of a human sacrifice. Ridiculous in its premise but
terrifying in its execution, Children of the Corn showcased a certain
strength and perseverance of children when threatened.

The Sacrament does little to hide its ending. Opening with a photographer
casually discussing his sister's involvement with a commune, a group of
investigative friends go searching for answers only to find disaster. Timelier
than ever, the media-hating, grounded story of this religious organization
feels more realistic than some documentaries. Suspicious and filled with
awkward exchanges, The Sacrament will make your skin crawl, only to rip
it out in the end. It's the kind of movie that'll stick with you for some time.
Though it all seems rosy, this film does little to appeal to organized religion
and uncovers the deeply rooted issues within congregations, especially those
buried in desolate regions.
