Netflix’s His & Hers is a dark, sultry, and surprisingly emotional Southern thriller that pulls you in from the very first scene and refuses to let go. Adapted from Alice Feeney’s best-selling novel and directed by William Oldroyd, the series takes place in the humid heat of Georgia, where secrets are as thick as the air and everyone seems to be hiding something. Tessa Thompson stars as Anna, a reclusive former news anchor whose life has fallen into quiet isolation, and Jon Bernthal plays Jack, a small-town detective haunted by his past and his complicated connection to her.

There is a certain kind of indie horror that knows better than to oversell itself. My First Year Off Campus falls squarely into that camp. It is a micro-budget film, even if it does everything it can to keep you from noticing, and that quiet confidence ends up being one of its biggest strengths.
Read MoreWe Bury the Dead Finds Fresh Life in a Worn-Out Genre
We Bury the Dead opens on an unexpected note: Kid Cudi and Ratatat’s “Pursuit of Happiness” echoes through the darkness. It is a bold way to begin a zombie film, but the choice pays off by immediately tapping into a reservoir of millennial nostalgia. The soundtrack throughout does something similar, unlocking memories as it slips between moody ambience and familiar needle drops. From the first scene, the film signals that it is not interested in rehashing the usual undead formula.

Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny feels like the kind of film a future filmmaker will treasure as a kid, the sort of movie that plants the idea that cinema can look and feel like anything. It is whimsical, eerie, funny, beautiful to look at, and anchored by a sincerity that sneaks up on you. Fuller brings the sensibilities of Pushing Daisies and Hannibal into a fairy tale about fear, imagination, and the emotional truth of childhood.
Read MorePearl (2025) 4KUHD
Ti West’s Pearl has always stood apart from the rest of the X trilogy—at least for me. While X delivers retro-slasher grit and MaXXXine goes full neon fever dream, Pearl is the one that lodged itself under my skin and refused to leave. Maybe it’s Mia Goth’s fearless, feral performance.

Even as someone who’s never fully fallen under The Walking Dead spell, I have to admit that Tales of the Walking Dead makes a strong case for revisiting its world. My parents are big fans, and for once I can see the appeal: this anthology spin-off brings an impressive lineup of actors and a refreshing variety of storytelling styles that might tempt even the skeptics. Arriving just in time for spooky season, the series unfolds over six standalone episodes, each venturing into different emotional and psychological corners of the post-apocalyptic universe.
Read MoreOff Season (2012)
Katie Carman-Lehach’s Off Season unfolds like a whispered confession—soft, unsettling, and carried along by the lonely rhythm of a deserted shoreline. After her husband’s financial crimes destroy their lives, Sylvie Stone escapes to a remote beach house hoping for silence. Instead, she finds a growing sense of dread, strange noises echoing through empty rooms, and a green glow outside her windows that makes it clear she’s not as alone as she hoped.
