And just like that, we’re in our last month of horror for 2017—that shit is crazy. I wish I could say it was going out with a bang, but this month’s genre releases aren’t as strong as we’ve seen in previous months. That being said, there are still a handful of indie films on the horizon that might be worth a look. But before we get started, here’s what I watched in November:

It Comes at Night (review): Although a tough sell, It Comes at Night is a dark and twisted tale of survival that delivers some unforgettable performances.

Gerald’s Game (review): Flanagan’s adaptation of Gerald’s Game was a slick take on King’s novel, a powerful combination of psychological horror and survival, and certainly one of the very best Stephen King adaptations.

Predictions

What you shouldn’t miss:

While there isn’t much to choose from this month, Kaleidoscope looks (by far) the most interesting.

• Led by the great Toby Jones, Kaleidoscope looks like a fascinating turn for the actor—there’s definitely some shades of Psycho going on here and the trailer is fantastic.
