Prey (1977)

While we were at the Overlook Film Festival we picked up a movie from the Vinegar Syndrome table called Prey.  We had never heard of it and it was blind buy for both of us.  
I think we should just let the official Wikipedia entry describe this film. 
A carnivorous shape-shifting alien named Kator lands in the woods of rural England. The vanguard of an invasion force, his mission is to evaluate the suitability of humans as a source of food for his species. He kills Anderson and Sandy, a couple having a tryst in their parked car, and assumes the appearance of Anderson.
Later, he encounters Jessica-Ann and Josephine, a lesbian couple who live in a manor house. Although Jessica owns the property, having inherited it from her Canadian parents, the dominant of the pair is Jo, who is unusually possessive of Jessica and suspicious of men. Simon, Jessica's boyfriend, has mysteriously disappeared. The women are vegetarians and live in seclusion with only some chickens and a pet parrot, Wally, for company.
This is movie that's hard to talk about without spoilers, so be warned, we spoil this crazy movie.

Long Legs

This week we delve into the biggest horror movie of the summer, Long Legs. 
This film is a slow burn that builds to a truly chilling climax. Maika Monroe is phenomenal as the FBI agent on the hunt for a terrifying killer. NIcholas Cage takes creepy to the next level as Long Legs.  He embodies the unsettling creepiness of the elusive serial killer with a look achieved through prosthetics and makeup.

Maxxine

Maxxxine, the latest installment in Ti West's chilling X trilogy, has finally slashed its way onto the scene! This follow-up to X (2022) sees Mia Goth return as the ambitious and, let's face it, ruthless Maxine Minx.
This time, Maxine sets her sights on Hollywood in the 1980s. Traded in are the quaint Texas farmlands for the neon-drenched avenues of LA. But Maxine's journey to mainstream success isn't paved with red carpets. A mysterious killer stalks the Hollywood hopefuls, and Maxine's own dark past threatens to spill out, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.
The film leans into the classic 80s slasher aesthetic, complete with synth-heavy music and practical effects that will have you squirming in your seat.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

This week's episode of Jumpscare! is more than just a look at  the classic sci-fi horror film, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978). It's a tribute to the legendary Donald Sutherland, whose iconic performance as Matthew Bennell anchors the film's chilling paranoia.
From his initial unease to his desperate pleas, Sutherland embodies the terror of a man where even your loved ones might not be who they seem.
