Horror Homeroom

Horror Homeroom is a labor of love — a website devoted to all things horror, founded with Elizabeth Erwin and Gwen Hofmann and going strong since March 2015.

A great find of late 2021, the first Latvian found footage horror film, The Land of Blue Lakes, which I review here.

A review of folk horror in the latest installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021).

Here’s my review of the 2021 Swedish film, Red Dot (directed by Alain Darborg), which I argue is “survival folk horror.”

Here’s my review of the 2020 Australian horror film about dementia, Relic, directed by Natalie Erika James (posted July 9, 2020).

 

 

 

 

And a discussion of the recent Hulu original, Delivered (Emma Tammi, 2020), as a film that adapts the tropes of 1990’s Misery to the thematic of slavery (posted June 7, 2020).

Here’s a consideration of the 1972 film, Doomwatch as folk horror. This is definitely a film worth seeing!

Another recent article for Horror Homeroom is a review of the third novel by Andrew Michael Hurley, Starve Acre, a fantastic novel in the folk horror tradition.

Also, check out the latest episode of our podcast, Horror Homeroom Conversations, on the less-than-wonderful The Curse of La Llorona (2019).
