The Grandmother (2022)
Despite not being a pure Halloween series, it is quite scary, and it is perfect to set you up for tonight, which is why it is the first of the recommendations.
Directed by Paco Plaza, The Grandmother It's one of those movies that doesn't rely so much on easy scares as on the discomfort that creeps into you little by little. The story follows Susana, a young model who lives in Paris and must return to Madrid when her grandmother suffers a stroke. What seems like a simple family return turns into a disturbing nightmare when he begins to notice strange behaviors in his grandmotherand the atmosphere in the house becomes increasingly oppressive. The film plays with the fear of aging, the loss of identity and distorted family ties, all wrapped in a tense and elegant atmosphere. Plaza uses the camera with surgical precision: every silence and every look weighs. The Grandmother is psychological horror with a Spanish soul, where everyday life becomes disturbing without the need for monsters.
V/H/S/Halloween (2025)
On the other hand, we have V/H/S/Halloween a horror anthology composed of several shorts that revolve around Halloween night. Each story is presented like a found VHS tape, with that retro style, grainy image and sense of chaos that characterizes the V/H/S saga. The plots range from horror houses that become real to home recordings that hide something much darker. Each segment has its own tone, some gorier and others more psychological, but they all share a haunting spirit and an air of '90s nostalgia. The film stands out for its energy and visual creativity, although as often happens in anthologies, not all the fragments are of the same level. It is an ideal option for a Halloween night with friends, if you like short stories, gore and the “found footage” style where you never know what can happen with the next film.
Let's hope that one of these two fills your night, since, at least for my taste, they are very good and interesting. They may not be for a normal day, but on October 31, they deserve a chance, and you will surely end up with quite a bit. fearor that is what they intend, so if you are not one of those who seeks to be scared, you better watch another one, since both are designed for that. Leave us a comment if you have another recommendation that is on the platform.
