The film follows a young woman named Arlen (Suki Waterhouse) living in a dystopian future in which she has been exiled to the desert. While roaming around in the blazing sun is dangerous enough, she encounters bands of cannibals and other deadly threats in her quest.

Bad Hair A horror satire set in 1989 about a girl who decides to change her haircut in order to succeed at the television station where she works, but this is an industry obsessed with image and the new hair ends up making the young woman commit atrocities. Director Justin Simien Release Date October 23, 2020 Cast Elle Lorraine , Moses Storm , James Van Der Beek , Lena Waithe , Jay Pharoah , Vanessa Williams Runtime 102 minutes

Bad Hair is a conceptually bold Neon production. With a 1989 backdrop, Bad Hair follows music TV company executive assistant Anna (Elle Lorraine) as she rises through the ranks in a competitive and fast-paced media environment. When the new boss (Vanessa Williams) suggests a promotion for Anna, she implies that adjusting her hairstyle might enable her to move more swiftly through the ranks, yet her new weave seems to possess a sinister sentience.

With supernatural and folkloric elements explored via Bad Hair's witches and their mythology, Simien's film is another curiously creepy Neon production. The absurdist anthropomorphized monster, which took possible inspiration from Peter Strickland's equally bizarre 2018 film In Fabric, makes Bad Hair an effective horror satire with a socio-political backdrop where black hair politics become the roots of the film's terror.

Neon's She Dies Tomorrow taps into a deeply universal fear and cranks it up considerably. Directed by Amy Seimetz, the film opens with Amy (Kate Lyn Sheil), who becomes inexplicably convinced that she will die the following day. Despite having no real rationale for this suspicion, her ardentness is unshakable. What’s more disturbing is that her conviction becomes contagious, spreading amongst her friends and family like a virus.

It's a slow burn that eschews traditional horror thrills in favor of a more psychological approach, foregrounding existential dread and contagious paranoia.

She Dies Tomorrow is different from other pandemic horrors released before COVID-19. It's a slow burn that eschews traditional horror thrills in favor of a more psychological approach, foregrounding existential dread and contagious paranoia. Rather than relying on jump scares, the film delves into the terrifying psychological landscape of its characters, exploring how fear can become a self-fulfilling prophecy for self-destruction.

The rise of the so-called elevated horror movie trend has allowed for some horror projects that explore different cultures and folklore. It Lives Inside is one such movie as it follows Sam (Megan Suri), an Indian-American teen who is struggling with her cultural identity. When she reconnects with a friend who she has drifted away from, Sam finds herself accidentally unleashing a dark supernatural entity her friend was keeping at bay.

The movie is an impressive debut from writer-director Bishal Dutta, who showcases a terrific talent for staging intense and terrifying scenes of suspense. The film also explores Hindu folklore in an interesting way, and while it does feel too close to some other teen horror movies to stand on its own as a totally original movie, these aspects allow it to stand out in the genre with its own commentary.

When FBI agent Lee Harker is assigned to a serial killer cold case, their investigation leads them down a rabbit hole riddled with disturbing discoveries and the occult at the center of it all. When the trail of evidence reveals a personal connection, it becomes a race against time to prevent another murder. Director Oz Perkins Release Date July 12, 2024 Cast Maika Monroe , Nicholas Cage , Blair Underwood , Alicia Witt , Michelle Choi-Lee , Dakota Daulby , Lauren Acala , Kiernan Shipka Runtime 101 Minutes

Neon's latest horror contribution, Longlegs follows FBI Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) who is thrust into the dark world of an unsolved serial killer case. In his fourth directorial credit, Perkins has taken unmistakable influence from serial killer investigation horror films such as Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, and even Zodiac. The unnerving Nicolas Cage horror movie makes great use of sound and empty space, deftly negotiating the implication of danger.

The film’s first two-thirds are genuinely thrilling, drawing the audience in with a gripping narrative and an eerie atmosphere. Unfortunately, Longlegs stumbles in its final act, with a twist that disrupts the film’s momentum and leaves a somewhat underwhelming conclusion. Despite this, the film excels in its mise en scène. The cinematography, featuring lower tilted angles and wide shots, brilliantly enhances the sense of looming threat, making it a solid addition to Neon's horror library.

Sydney Sweeney has starred in several horror movies already in her young career, but Immaculate stands out as the best of the bunch. Sweeney stars in the film as Sister Cecilia, a young nun who takes an opportunity to work in a convent in Italy. While the beautiful setting instantly sweeps her off her feet, she finds that she is given special attention by the others in the convent and soon discovers something sinister at hand.

However, the central mystery is gripping with an excellent payoff, while the whole thing is held together by Sweeney's committed performance.

The movie blends together elements of other excellent horror movies of the past, such as The Omen and Rosemary's Baby, while also having its own interesting ideas. Director Michael Mohan is not entirely successful in adapting the concept to the screen, with the storytelling feeling confused and messy at times. However, the central mystery is gripping with an excellent payoff, while the whole thing is held together by Sweeney's committed performance.

However, upon arriving, she finds that her father's new boss (Dan Stevens) takes an unsettling interest in her. She eventually uncovers a terrifying truth hiding in the isolated community.

However, Schafer's lead performance and Stevens' fun, chilling turn help to ground the story in interesting characters.

Cuckoo is a bold and inventive horror movie with plenty of chilling moments and brutality that are going to win over fans of the genre. It also seeks to be its own unique genre entry with a wild story that bounces at a gripping pace and a dark sense of humor that can be a little distracting at times.

Director Veronika Franz , Severin Fiala Release Date February 7, 2020 Cast Jaeden Martell , Lia McHugh , Alicia Silverstone , Richard Armitage , Riley Keough Runtime 108 minutes

The Lodge, directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, concerns siblings Aidan (Jaeden Martell) and Mia (Lia McHugh) during a Christmas getaway with their journalist father Richard (Richard Armitage) and new girlfriend Grace (Riley Keough). The isolated titular lodge is a fantastically ominous setting for the film's events.

Franz and Fiala's second-to-latest release highlights their continued interest in the complexities of familial relationships and psychological trauma, sharing echoes of their previous film, Goodnight Mommy. While it doesn’t quite reach the same heights as Goodnight Mommy, it still delivers a gripping and more existentially frightening horror experience.

With twists and turns that keep viewers on edge, The Lodge's unsettling atmosphere and psychological tension build suspense beautifully, though it isn’t without a few plot holes that may leave some viewers questioning the story's logic. Despite its flaws, The Lodge is a haunting exploration of isolation and paranoia, making it a notable entry in Neon's productions. The chilling performances and eerie setting ensure that it remains a memorable, if imperfect, psychological horror.

One thing no one expected, however, was that a terrible zombie apocalypse would happen. Director Abe Forsythe Release Date October 8, 2019 Cast Lupita Nyong'o , Alexander England , Josh Gad , Kat Stewart Runtime 94 Minutes

Little Monsters is a film that balances the tricky combination of comedy and horror, delivering a very tongue-in-cheek and deeply meta-theatrical experience. Forsythe's film follows Dave – a washed-up musician recovering from a recent breakup – who sets his sights on his nephew's teacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong’o). Yet his plans to impress and pursue her are thwarted by a zombie invasion.

As one of the most challenging sub-genres to nail, this comedy-horror hybrid stands out as a bold and entertaining entry in Neon's catalog. Nyong’o shines as Miss Caroline, bringing both charisma and wit to her role, and as far as comedy-horror goes, Little Monsters succeeds in combining these seemingly antithetical genres into a seamless and enjoyable movie. It leans into the comedy more than the horror, so genre fans looking for big scares may be disappointed.

Cronenberg continually flips the narrative, playing with viewers' expectations and raising profound questions about privilege.

Infinity Pool explores the disturbing extent to which the rich can evade consequences, making it a thought-provoking, sardonic, and unsettling experience.

Titane stands as a testament to Ducournau's brilliance in body horror. Following her acclaimed film Raw, this Neon production is remarkably unique and continues to push the boundaries of horror cinema. Titane tells the story of Alexia (Agathe Rousselle), a woman with a titanium plate in her head due to a childhood car accident. Ducournau uses the clearer-cut body horror prowess of her previous film to undermine the expectations of viewers experiencing her second directorial piece – Titane blends visceral body horror with profound emotional depth, exploring themes of identity and transformation.

Agathe Rousselle is captivating as Alexia, seamlessly shifting between identities while remaining enigmatic as the film's protagonist. Vincent Lindon likewise delivers a fantastic performance, portraying a tough yet deeply vulnerable figure. Titane is not only a visual feast, employing vibrant colors, dynamic camera work, and striking compositions, but the sound design and score further enhance its unsettling atmosphere and, at times, act to incorporate a farcical tone to some scenes.

Tasya Vos, a high-level assassin for a sophisticated corporation, uses brain implant technology to possess other people's bodies and perform assassinations of prolific public figures. In illustrating how possession works, Cronenberg delves deep into existential questions about identity, particularly the nature of self and how it might be fragmented or altered.

Cronenberg delves deep into existential questions about identity, particularly the nature of self and how it might be fragmented or altered.

These themes are explored with chilling effectiveness, creating a unique sci-fi concept that results in a provocative examination of identity and violence. At the film’s core is a theory regarding its conclusion: the protagonist can access memories tied to objects but loses the emotional connections to those memories with each assignment. The way in which she slowly loses attachment to and connection with her memories and emotions raises intriguing questions about her identity - whether she is diluting her true self, adopting new personas, or both.

The concept evokes philosophical questions reminiscent of Blade Runner's replicants, asking what makes an individual, human. Ultimately, this intensifies the film's exploration of identity, perception, and impersonation, showcasing Cronenberg’s ability to craft a deeply disturbing yet intellectually stimulating experience and one that remains resonant far beyond the film's conclusion.
