Why watch this film?
Alcatraz is one of the most debated, idealized, and questioned prisons in the history of the penal system. After all, this American construction put prisoners in an inhospitable environment on the coast of California, USA, and made it almost impossible for them to escape or even rebel. It's no wonder that one of the few prison escapes ended up on the big screen in the acclaimed 'Escape from Alcatraz' with Clint Eastwood. Now, in this Steve Lawson horror (from the strange 'Hellriser' and 'KillerSaurus'), the viewer is invited to dive into a dark and supernatural plot around a guard from the night shift at Alcatraz. Massacred by critics and audiences, 'The Haunting of Alcatraz' is one of those horror films to let yourself be carried away by the bizarreness of the situation and laugh at the scares set up by the director. Watch it, don't take it too seriously and have a blast.

The Blackcoat's Daughter
Although it was released after I am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House, The Blackcoat's Daughter (also known as February) is Longlegs director Oz Perkins' debut feature film, and from here one could already see the marks that would distinguish his later filmography: young women as protagonists of stories as minimalist as their production design, sound work, and camerawork, converging to create atmospheres that disturb through their stillness. In this film, the plot follows three young women (Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, and Emma Roberts), whose paths intersect in a story of loneliness and violence.

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
Osgood Perkins' second film (though the first to be released) is even more minimalist, yet imbued with contemporary gothic overtones. I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House follows a private nurse (Ruth Wilson) who must move into the remote home of a famous writer (Paula Prentiss), suffering from dementia. However, she soon suspects that the house is haunted and that her fate echoes that of the writer's sister who died decades earlier.
The Hallow
A family moves to a remote house in rural Ireland and finds themselves in a fight for survival with an ancient evil living in the secluded woods.
