So with the 31st fastly approaching, I thought it was apt to look back on some of my most enjoyable FTVs of the month.

I am pleased with the turnout for this years challenge, and the overall upsurge of activity recently..

I will briefly list a few of the best views I have seen for this years challenge:

Ju-on (2000): the first installment in the Ju-on franchise, following two short films. With a runtime of 70 mins, it is super creepy. This is a film of slowly building dread and unease more than jump out of your seat scares, very effective! 8/10


Circle (2015): Wow, one of the most orginal horror movies I have seen in recent memory. At first glance this film seems like pretty typical Saw-esque horror fare, but it becomes a study in sociology, psychology, morality and Darwinism. I won't give away any spoliers, but wow, I was impressed. 9/10


Let Me In (2010): I know, it divides quite a few, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.


Terrified (2017): Now, this is one scary South-American horror. Magnificent movie.


Those were the two best for me, but here is a few others that impressed me (7/10s):

Await Further Instructions (2018): very good Black Mirror-esque. Indie production, very unique, has great characterization and cinematography.


Voices (1974): Another one of these obscure horror that I really dig. "Voices" is from a class of thriller in that it achieves its shocks through the use of story and character interaction.


Veronica (2017): I am a sucker for "this film is based on true events"!


What were some of your best views of the challenge? Any thoughts on this years challenge?
