On her birthday, a teenager named Alex finds herself trapped inside an arcade and stalked by a masked killer. The movie follows a dangerous game of cat and mouse as Alex tries to survive, using the arcade’s bright lights and maze-like layout to evade her attacker and figure out why she’s being hunted. Sophie McIntosh stars in this thrilling survival horror, directed by Jamie Bailey and written by Simon Phillips, which will appeal to fans of slasher films and tense, single-location stories with dark surprises.

‘Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday’ (2019)

Book editor Lucy heads back to her hometown to reignite a beloved holiday book festival, where she meets local author Jack. A bit of heavenly guidance helps them both with their careers and personal lives. The story unfolds through charming town events like parades and book signings, as Lucy works to connect authors with readers. Starring Jen Lilley and Carlo Marks, and directed by Jonathan Wright, the film captures the warmth of small-town life with cozy lighting, wintery colors, and festive music.

‘Patient Zero’ (2018)

When a disease similar to rabies causes people to become violently aggressive, a scientist who can somehow communicate with the infected takes the lead in finding the person who started the outbreak. Starring Matt Smith, with Natalie Dormer and Stanley Tucci, the film blends the practical challenges of containing a pandemic with intense interrogations and dangerous missions into infected areas. It’s directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky, based on a script by Mike Le.

‘Don’t Breathe’ (2016)

Okay, so I just watched this movie and it was INSANE! It’s about these three guys who decide to rob a house in Detroit, but they quickly realize they’ve made a terrible mistake. The homeowner turns out to be a blind Gulf War vet, and his house isn’t normal – it’s like a complicated maze! Plus, he’s seriously tough. Stephen Lang is absolutely terrifying as the homeowner, and the actors playing the burglars – Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, and Daniel Zovatto – all have their own reasons for being there, which adds to the tension. The director, Fede Álvarez, does an amazing job building suspense – a lot of it comes from the quiet moments, how cramped everything feels, and this one scene in complete darkness that’s genuinely frightening. The story keeps throwing curveballs, so you’re never quite sure who has the upper hand. It’s a really gripping movie!

‘Furious 7’ (2015)

James Wan directed the film, with a script by Chris Morgan and Kurt Russell returning as the mysterious Mr. Nobody, guiding their secret operations. The filmmakers focused on real stunts, enhanced with visual effects for the movie’s biggest moments.

‘Goosebumps’ (2015)

A teenager accidentally brings the monsters from R.L. Stine’s books to life, and he has to team up with the author himself to recapture them. Jack Black stars as R.L. Stine in this action-packed adventure, where a town is invaded by werewolves, gnomes, and other creatures. It’s a fast-moving, fun movie for the whole family, directed by Rob Letterman and based on the popular book series, with a screenplay by Darren Lemke.

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ (2012)

A group of five friends escapes to a secluded cabin for a weekend, unknowingly becoming part of a strange experiment orchestrated by a team of technicians. The movie cuts between the friends’ terrifying experiences in the woods and the technicians monitoring them from a control room, slowly revealing a bigger, unsettling picture that twists classic horror themes. The film stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, and Jesse Williams, with Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford playing the technicians.
