5 horror movies for 18+, not suitable for the faint-hearted
1. Barbarian
Due to an accidental double booking of an Airbnb, the mysterious Keith suddenly appears at Tess’s accommodation. Despite the unusual situation, she stays in this Airbnb, and both remain in the house overnight. However, apart from the comical situation, something else seems to be lurking in the house.
The film received good ratings from critics and is worth a watch, especially for its unpredictability and the many secrets surrounding the house.
2. Bodies Bodies Bodies
Comedian Pete Davidson stars in this quirky horror comedy, which mainly focuses on Gen Z and the social media generation. At a party, a group of teenagers plays the game Bodies Bodies Bodies. It evolves into a murder game where the party group has to survive and figure out who the killer is.
The film is a satirical take on current generations and somewhat resembles a modern version of a scary movie that never really becomes scary. However, it is still refreshing to watch such a horror comedy in a modern style, and a whodunit as a horror comedy is also fun.
