The Demon Disorder has some fun bits, though it requires When Evil Lurks levels of tolerance for nonsensical authorial hand puppeteering. Once you get past that characters just can't do anything that makes sense, it's a trip.

Too early for news about this, unless you're going to theaters in Taiwan.
It was enjoyable, but that review is waaaaay overselling it. Especially as comedy.
If you want a Korean horror comedy, try Night of the Undead (2020), but don't go in expecting zombies ;) Horror Stories 2 (2013) also had a pretty fun hor-com for one of its segments.
Yeah, but I mean, we're over 40 now, plus some shows. Such a long and random list is not really useful to anyone. Here's some season-so-far notables instead:
- Cuckoo 2024
- The Retreat 2020
- Subject 2022
- All My Friends Are Dead 2021 POL
- The Vourdalak 2023 FRE
- The Closet 2020 KOR
- Deleter 2023 PHI
- Home for Rent 2023 THA
- Contorted (The Contorted House) 2022 KOR
- Oddity 2024
- Heilstatten: Haunted Hospital 2018
- Velvet Buzzsaw 2019
- Exhuma 2024 KOR
- Satanic Hispanics 2022 MEX
- Dream Scenario 2023
- Horror Stories 2 2013 KOR
- #ChadGetstheAxe 2023
In a world where no one speaks
Another one? Eesh, these are always such painfully contrived and badly done conceits.
We start our horrorfest movie plowing in mid August, so the September list is quite long already. Way too many for a post per movie :(
Probably Ouija: Origin of Evil. Others we'd note in particular:
- Oculus 2014
- Dark Skies 2013
- The Veil 2016
- The Lords of Salem 2013
- The Hunt 2020
- M3GAN 2023
- Jessabelle 2014
- Dashcam 2022

Here's a couple of lists for people to use:
Depends on your horror tastes, of course. We have no interest in Martyrs or A Serbian Film type stuff even if Baskin was pretty redeemable on general weirdness, and we all know there's plenty worse than any of those out there.
Maybe most people who watch Baskin tend to venture even further out, but it seems like a notable watershed point to me.
We paid attention to films that paved the way for the genre and for filmmaking as a whole, as well as to modern classics that bring something new and brilliant to the canon today.
Right there is the end of my interest. As soon as it starts being about what someone considers important rather than actually great, it's a list for history and not for utility or sharing what's good in the present. I really wish people looking for quality and greatness weren't always getting directed to historical footnotes, and nostalgia.

Eh... We have tons of movies we can actually see, and heaps of movies we can see very soon (especially as we enter October). Movies we cannot see for a long and indeterminate time don't do any good. When hype pushes too far ahead, it's just waiting and distraction from things that actually are relevant. It's just more noise we need to filter through, and there's so much noise.
