Saw IV (2007)

Saw III (2006)

Thanksgiving (11/17/23)
The best way I can describe this movie is Scream but rather than the shtick be metaness, its Thanksgiving. The kills are gruesome in the...

The Marsh King's Daughter (released 11/3/23)

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

Annabelle: Creation (2017)

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

Annabelle (2014)
