A Quiet Place (2018)

New Year celebrations tend to be loud, but if you’re staying in to watch A Quiet Place it will be quite the opposite. If they hear you, they hunt you. Directed by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place is set in a post-apocalyptic world featuring strange alien creatures which hunt by the slightest sounds and have wiped out a majority of the human race. One of the last surviving families has managed to strategically endure the alien-ridden lands, but with a new-born baby on the way, how long can the silence last…

IT (2017)

Float with Pennywise into 2019…Stephen King’s famous clown came to life once more with the chilling remake of IT. Following the unexplainable death of a little boy one rainy day, his older brother continues to seek a reason for his disappearance. In a place known as ‘The Barrens’, a group of seven kids including the late boy’s brother are united by their horrifying and strange encounters with an evil clown and their determination to kill it. Faced with their own personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise, prepare for a jump-scare filled night.

Lights Out (2016)

Fireworks make a great New Year… or you could choose to turn the Lights Out. The film follows the story of a young girl, who has moved out of her family home to get away from her hostile family environment and childhood fears. Having to leave her little brother behind she soon realises he is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that jeopardized her safety and sanity. These events include strange occurrences that only take place in the pitch black and it soon comes to light that their mother is the reason for their childhood trauma… however, it may not be entirely her fault.

The Babadook (2014)

Good luck trying to get some sleep with this Australian supernatural psychological horror. Single mother Amelia is left distraught after the violent death of her husband and struggles having to bring up her six year old son Sam. One night, Sam asks his mother to read a mysterious pop-up storybook found in their home named ‘Mister Babadook’. From then on strange occurrences seem to take place and the nightmarish experiences the two encounter form the rest of the story.
