15 Modern Horror Movies With ’80s Vibes


Bring on the slashers and extremely teased hair.

Starring Taissa Farmiga as the daughter of a famous scream queen (Malin Akerman) who’s magically transported into one of her mother’s slasher movies, it’s so self-assured in pursuing its premise that it never loses its audience, building layers of fun and incisive trope dissection while also telling a very satisfying mother-daughter story along the way. The story of a vengeance-mad logger (Nicolas Cage) who sets out to get the cult that killed his beloved (Andrea Riseborough), it’s drenched in hallucinatory colors and sounds that’ll take you back to the days when you used to get high and sit between two speakers to get the full effect of the album you just bought. The story of two siblings (Nita-Josee Hanna and Owen Myre) who accidentally resurrect an ancient, murderous alien overlord, it’s an absolutely wild ride that feels like the kind of thing you’d pass around on tape to your friends, making sure everyone had the chance to see the madness.
