I just saw the new Bill Skarsgard horror film, Barbarian in the theater, loved it. This movie's filled with surprises, which was a huge breath of fresh air for horror as they've become way too predictable. This movie's very cleverly-written with surprise horror twists, I was eagerly anticipating what batshit crazy supernatural shit they were gonna throw next. And Bill Skarsgard wasn't playing a menacing clown this time, but he still knocked it out of the park. He serves as the catalyst for all the insane horror twists, which I'll refuse to say anything more out of not wanting to spoil a thrilling horror from start to finish.
I also wrapped up the Pretty Little Liars horror spin-off, Original Sin on HBO Max a few days ago, which I also quite enjoyed. I'll admit, I've never seen the original PLL and couldn't tell you a single thing about any of the original cast, but I still loved it. It takes pages from Scream with mentioning horror tropes and the progression of the story is also nicely built-up. If you're into horror and especially slasher-type stuff, I would definitely check this out on HBO Max.
