I’m not normally a massive fan of demonic type of film but this one is seriously really good, it is one of those horror films that crept under your skin and it is unnerving with tension and that what made this horror film really unique.

9.The Secret Of Marrowbone

In 1960s rural America, a young man and his younger siblings, who have kept secret the death of their beloved mother in order to remain together, are plagued by a sinister presence in the sprawling manor in which they live.

The ending is poignancy and really moving at the same time, in this enjoyable film.

Brilliantly acted in a gripping and compelling film which is basically about hope and never giving up and everyone been there.

  1. Once more, I only know two of the films that you have reviewed here. Marrowbone and Nomadland. Clearly you watch more than me!
    I would have definitely included The Rider and any film by Jim Jarmusch.
