Two vastly different films
with similar conceits
Horror has many different variations. From the gore-filled slashers like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and the Saw films, to suspenseful cinema experiences like Sinister and Insidious.
I have a soft spot for the latter category. I enjoy the slow-burn nature of films and novels that don’t drop you into the horror, but rather worm their way into your brain and imagination. While the slashers, gore-fests, and violent spectacles have their place, the films I remember the most are slow-burns.

Demi Moore stars in a visceral body-horror spectacle
I’ve heard about The Substance for a while now. A friend of mine suggested I watch it as soon as I could, but I put it off until last night. The day before Halloween seemed the perfect time, especially since there wasn’t much else to do. I’m glad I did.
