I'm sharing my top five horror movies of 2025 on Instagram! Please take a look, if you're curious.

First up is a folk horror from Thailand, based on the legend of Mae Sue, a protective spirit of newborns.
A tale of bullying, revenge, and reform school!

Returning to Pauline Collins in the role of one of two hard-up theatre actresses who find a way out of their money woes, as there is a deadly cost for one... As Joan Collins' Suzy Starr puts on an act, Pauline Collins' Pat Lewis adds an ambiguous twist to her performance in this tale of the unexpected.

Most famous for a ton of smaller/medium-size roles in Hammer Horror movies.
